Happy April Fools Day, Trekkies! According to the Star Trek Wiki, the holiday has only been mentioned once throughout all of the Star Trek movie and TV shows in existence.  «In 2367, while discussing the subject practical jokes with young Willie Potts, who had become ill as a result of a joke played on him …

It isn’t cheap to be a Star Trek fan, but at least it’s cheaper than being a fan of other shows and movies. If you want to watch any Star Trek iteration that’s ever existed, all you have to do is pay $7.99 a month (or $59.99 a year) for that sweet, sweet Paramount+ subscription. …

I would venture to guess that Star Trek is the fandom with the most memes based on images and phrases solely from the source material. By nature of originally starting as a TV show, Star Trek has so much more source material in terms of runtime than Star Wars or Harry Potter. The funny thing …

As wonderful and amazing as most Star Trek fans are, there will always be some wacky people who get attached to the series. I’m never not thinking about the strange connections between the Heaven’s Gate cult and Star Trek. Its most direct connection is that Thomas Nichols, the brother of Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. …

Imagine if NBC had picked up the original pilot of Star Trek. Any Trekkie worth his salt has seen the hour-long episode that canonically takes place 13 years before the original series. The casting and characterization are the main differences between the pilot and the actual show. The hot young captain in this episode isn’t …

It’s too bad that we’ll never catch up with the 20th-century ideals of astrofuturism. We are a little under 100 years out from when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation take place, and I do not think we’ll be able to advance that much.

It’s easy to say that the costume design in Star Trek is timeless. Those iconic primary-color uniform shirts have stood the test of time, only varying slightly between eras, but not all of the fashions from Star Trek have aged well. I would say Jake Sisko was the biggest fashion victim of the 90s. He …

As Trekkies, we’ve never been short of Star Trek content. There are so many TV shows and movies that we can watch an episode a day sequentially, and it would take us at least a couple of years to finish them all. But just because there’s a lot of Star Trek content collectively doesn’t mean …
