AFAIK? There are no bird-based Star Trek aliens and that is some cowardly shit. Disco should have a new species of bird alien. Feathers! Beaks! Claws! Wings!

So I have been informed that the Aurelians exist in TAS and LWD, and now I really want live action versions. MAKE LIVE ACTION AURELIANS YOU COWARDS!!

Why don’t we ever talk about the fact that leonard nimoy had to walk off set because of tooth pain and show up at his dentist dressed as spock

Also Brent Spiner broke his mandible during the filming of ‘The Game’ and had to be taken to hospital dressed as Data

an earthquake happened near the DS9 set once and Armin Shimerman went racing home to his family in full-on Quark makeup

Andy Robinson also went home after that earthquake in full Garak makeup and the traffic lights weren’t working so people had to make eye contact at the intersections and he says everybody always let him go first

This post has been circulating around for a couple of years and this is the first addition that I genuinely didn’t know about and gOD HOW DID I NOT KNOW

I am always here for Trek Trivia.

okay but you know how gay men would call their significant others “friend” 100 years ago, but it’d be with a significant tone so you knew when they said friend they meant life partner whom I wish to never let go of and who has filled a loneliness in me that I could not previously understand

that’s what it sounds like when Data refers to Geordi as his “friend”

its also what it means when Spock says it

star trek casually bringing back the earth-shatteringly poignantly queer meaning of “friend” and I think that’s beautiful

Don’t forget (start at 1:42 for what I’m talking about)

Their final conversation on the show:

Garak : You’ve been such a good friend. I’m going to miss our lunches together.

Doctor Bashir : I’m sure we’ll see each other again.

Garak : I’d like to think so. But one can never say. We live in uncertain times.

wait but also spock saying “when i feel friendship for you i’m ashamed” in the naked time

#this is still my favourite observation I’ve made about this show#friend is queer y'all#star trek#tng#tos#ds9#any friends on voyager or enterprise or disco we’ve forgotten about?

Tom Paris to Harry Kim: “You know what I remember? I remember a voice saying ‘This man is my friend. Nobody touches him.’ I’ll remember that for a long time.” 

#for disco i would like to offer when tilly calls michael friend @tirlaeyn

LOOOK I FOUND THIS POST AGAIN!!!

I fuckingg hate when rich people want to make star trek irl but without recognizing that they’re personally standing in the way of that utopian future with their Fat Stacks Of Cash they’re choosing to spend on *checks notes* a really bad spaceship. Instead of contributing to society at all

It’s like……. The lack of self awareness. The failure to recognize what science fiction is actually SAYING. They want the aesthetics of it and nothing else it drives me insane

Billionaires can’t exist in the same world as one where the people of earth are so well taken care of that we can afford to explore the stars. Listen to me. If you want star trek to be real we have to kill Elon Musk first. This motherfucker is not getting us there

YUP you can’t have post-monetary society with capitalism it just doesn’t work like that

the types of media i like can be placed in one of two categories:

type 1: oh my god this thing is amazing, i love it, i could go on hours long rants about how well executed it was. it has its faults but overall it’s excellent.

type 2: i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it

Type 1:

Type 2:

I love Star Trek Tumblr fandom, because it’s not so much one fandom as it is a loose confederation of several tiny subfandoms of usually ten-fifteen people that just get more and more niche as time goes on. Some of my personal favourites include the “Deanna Troi didn’t crash the bloody spaceship and is actually the coolest character in the franchise, excuse you” fandom, the “Uhura loves women and I’m so alive” fandom, and the “why am I so unironically attracted to Quark, what did I do to deserve this?” fandom. 

But honestly I could go on all day because there are so so many wonderful ones. We’re all doing such a good job of enjoying Star Trek in our own highly individualised ways. Well done us.
