      I am! I thought it was boring when I was a kid, so I never watched it, but I’m really digging it now. I’m starting with the original series and it kinda reminds me of “The Twilight Zone” sometimes.

      I was surprised how long the episodes are, but I’m ok with that because it slows down my ability to binge. It’s like I just unlocked a metric-ton of new content to enjoy; not having to constantly search for something to watch

      So yeah, I’ve been caught due to y’alls memes (of all things)… and I’m not mad at it lol

        Glad to hear it! It’s very much like the twilight zone in a lot of good ways (including Shatner).

        I also watched it as a kid with my family, but it didn’t really click untili was older. I watched it all the way through again in college, and I was able to appreciate it so much more.

        It’s been years since my last rewatch, but I’ve been slowly working through the original series again for the past few weeks. I love it.

    It happens to the best of us.

    You are being assimilated. Resistance is futile.

    I grew up watching TNG and Voyager in the 90s … but since then I went away from it all, except to watch the movies that came out.

    This past month has been the most Trek I’ve watched in years as I get into all the news shows since the 90s.

    This community is the one that got me to start from the beginning and make my way through all of it, currently almost done with season 2 of TOS.

      I’m seriously considering TOS just because of everyone here. Just haven’t looked for a boat yet.

    This is outrageous. Where are the images with humorous text? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Risa. You post text like that, they put you in meme. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Killing Tuvix, we have a special meme for Tuvix. You are Kevin? Right to meme. You are drinking coffee: right to meme, right away. You undercook leola root? Believe it or not, meme. You overcook leola, also meme. Undercook, overcook. We have the best treks in the galaxy because of meme.
