dear new trek fans,
a little bird told me you’re thinking about getting into star trek! great, that’s absolutely fantastic! no matter if you’re interested because a friend recommended it, or because the xii teaser trailer interested you, or, hell, you just like science fiction-y things.
you don’t actually need a reason to want to watch star trek!
nor do you have to be the biggest buff around, or even watch all the spin-offs. contrary to popular belief, you can be a star trek fan without ever watching any of the original trek shows and movies! you can just watch the reboots! or just watch the older ones! the newer ones! WATCH WHATEVER YOU WANT!
not a fan of over-dramatics and flawless blonde hair?
try watching tng! don’t like earl gray tea?
try ds9!
IT DOESN’T MATTER, THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER!!!!!
you can ship whatever you want, or nothing at all! you can read all the fan fiction you can get your greedy little hands on, or completely stay out of fandom! dislike some of the episodes in tos? dislike a popular pairing?
don’t be a dick about it and we’re all cool!
THE ONLY “RIGHT” WAY TO BE A TREK FAN IS TO BE A TREK FAN
bless u in your endeavors, live long and prosper (✿◡‿◡)
