A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Nah. I'd say what ruins the spirit of Star Trek is when people see a Trek they don't like and the first thing they do is just complain about it. The new shows do not and cannot ruin the spirit of the old ones. They still exist. They stand. Unchanged. Character development, whether you like it or not, does not hampen lessons learned or impact from the older shows.
Let people enjoy the new shows in peace. Not everything requires a negative comment for literally no reason, completely unprompted.
I didn’t mean it negatively; criticism can be constructive. trek was sorta supposed to be humanity after it surpassed the qualms and trivial issues of today’s problems. characters in the new shows are too flawed, irrational, ill tempered, quick to act without explaining or planning things. I get it makes for better tv but to me it speaks to regression in humanity rather than the progression roddenberry envisioned; that said TNG and DS9 were probably my faves.
especially since every Series ever required atleast 1 season (or a grown beard) to find its footing.
It also just flies in the face of the tagline of the series. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Applies to the shows as much as people. They're allowed to be different and change things. Stagnation is death.
