Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

I find star trek boring too, there’s a lot of far more interesting and exciting scifi out there so I really don’t get how it still has such a huge fan base still.

That said, if they start dropping the hard Rs in Star Trek I will definitely tune in to that catastrophe.

If it's hard Rs you want, just put on any episode where O'Brien is mad at the Cardassians

Star trek: in our universe racism is no more...

O'Brien: Damn Spoon heads!

Star Trek: Except Miles, he's the exception to the rule.

Not everything needs to be action or drama packed. It’s like a good documentary, the premise is usually very exciting. Kind of like a what if.
