About

This is an informal blog about the beloved cult classic franchise Star Trek. My personal favourite shows (and the ones I’ll be talking about) are The Original Series, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. I’ll also be talking about lost media, books and the music careers of some certain actors…

I’m a new Trekkie who was, like many, introduced to the world of Star Trek by my dad. Here, I’ll talk about more serious topics like societal issues in Star Trek, queercoding, feminism and character studies, as well as a plethora of fun and silly takes and ideas.
