Recently I was talking with people about how I watch TNG, DS9, Voyager, Picard, Lower Decks and people point if I’m a trekkie, and to be honest I don’t feel like a fan of Star Trek despite is mostly the only series I care to watch apart of Avatar Aang/Korra.
I tried to get into The Original Series, but I just can’t, today I saw Mirror mirror, I don’t know if I’m a trekkie really, but people still seeing me like that.
After that, I have two choises, watch Enterprise or Strange New World and I think I will go for SNW.
Been watching trek since I was 7 for the first run of tng… I’ve tried to watch tos. But I can’t. I love the movies. Undiscovered country is like top 10 favorite movies ever for me… but tos… man. Just can’t.
Someone explained ages ago that tv was still new and the actors were stage actors. And that was also reflected in how it was shot / lit.
Since then I’ve felt better about not watching it…
I consider myself a trekker. There have been shows recently that I didn’t enjoy as much… where the best part of the episode was the rainbow logo at the beginning…
Trek is one of those things where it is there for you in what ever stage of life you find yourself… It’s there for everyone who wants to be accepted for who they choose to be… It’s there to be enjoyed and to make you think about what if…
Just enjoy… and don’t let the online hate mould you into feeling one way or another about something that’s important to you.
Additionally… Snw is phenomenal.
