Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by actual_patience@programming.dev to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

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 think it would be awsome to have Trekkies and Whovians do some crossovers.

Star Trek is just bad. Just bad.

People keep recommending it, I kept giving it chances.

During the pandemic, I even went to IMDB, picked the very highest-ranked episodes of all time, and watched them, the supposed best-of-the-best, and they're just awful.

Whats your metric for quality? Hard to agree or disagree with such a poorly defined opinion.

are you stuck in the medium place with a singular copy of star trek: v instead of cannonball run 2?
