Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
context:
I love that she's such a Trekkie that she doesn't even know how to do the Vulcan salute properly, despite probably having seen images of it her entire life even if she never watched a single episode of Star Trek.
What is that, the Vulcan shocker?
Showing the back of the hand makes it look like she's flashing some Vulcan gang sign, haha.
It's this guy's gang sign.
Ok, now it's time for @[email protected] to make a meme of him giving that salute and saying, "live short and fuck you."
You're always there for me.
Edit: By the way, that actor was also in the Twelve Monkeys TV series and he's really good in it.
It's Mariner's sarcastic salute!
*sigh* time to rewatch yet again
Who am I kidding, I'm excited to have the excuse.
Don't you give me that sarcastic Vulcan salute!
The Spocker
$50 says she’s just doing that old Volkswagen handsign from those commercials in the 2000s
My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.
TOS had the first interracial kiss between a white person and a black person on U.S. TV. It also shows a socialist utopia where men and women of all races are equal, indigenous cultures are respected, and they try to talk out a hostile situation before they resort to firing their weapons whenever they can.
Fox News should absolutely loathe that.
TNG basically had Riker fuck an alien trans woman in 1992.
Any trekkie who complains about Trek being too woke, is either a moron, or not an actual fan.
DS9 had Jadzia kiss another trill whose host happened to be a woman. TOS had the first televised interracial kiss. ENT had a pregnant Trip Tucker. Trek has always been woke.
And, of course, Discovery has Stamets and Culber, plus their adopted nonbinary child.
I'm pretty sure Mariner's up for anything.
Mariner is definitely down for anything. She’s dating the andorian Jennifer in a few episodes and she also went on a date with Steve Levy the conspiracy guy. She also dated an Anabaj to annoy her mom so…yeah.
She even says this in one episode (the Tom Paris one):
“Oh I’m always dating bad boys, bad girls, bad gender non-binary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, and bad Bynars.”
I like that she had to classify Bynars separately from non-binary people.
I will be forever disappointed that the higher-ups refused to have that alien played by a male actor. I am glad if it helps trans people feel noticed and respected though.
Seem to remember Frakes being dissapointed with that too. Wanted a male actor.
Yes, he's talked about that before.
The neat thing about post scarcity societies is that economic systems become moot so long as the government isn't particularly oppressive. It's still an hierarchical, and somewhat militaristic, society.
It also followed the old scifi serial blueprint they were used to.
The culture warriors over at Fox are angry at Disney so Star Wars Bad is the current messaging. Star Trek is just a blank canvas to them that is not Disney. Now, if Star Trek has a gay kiss or puts a black mermaid in charge of a fucking spaceship they'll change their tunes pretty quick.
Has a gay kiss
Yeah. Good thing they haven't had that going on for decades, and definitely didn't have an episode centered on a lesbian love affair 29 years ago.
It has several gay kisses
She should have picked Battlestar Galactica, given that it's backdoor Mormon fan fiction.
I wonder if the Nauvoo in The Expanse is sort of 'revenge' for Battlestar Galactica?
Fuckin dork can't even do the spocker right
She really likes the Terran Empire and Section 31.
I didn't see the headline at first and thought she was showing off her engagement ring on live TV in the most awkward way possible, lmao
Says the person who has obviously never watched star trek
"Star Trek is progressive. Star Wars is woke. Now, keep in mind I have no fucking idea what 'woke' actually means as I am incapable of inferring meaning through context."
Context?
Some conservative idiot with a camera in front of them called Star Wars too woke and then was like “that is why I like Star Trek”….. which obviously indicates they had no idea about the basic aspects of Star Trek.
Lmfaooooo
Star trek which has been openly gay and racially diverse since the fucking 60s? And had kinda sorta trans character representstion by the 90s? That's the less woke one?
Most intelligent conservative ditz
Don't forget that the Federation is supposed to be a post-scarcity socialist utopia.
Didn't they do the first interracial kiss on TV? And there was the episode with these guys in it?
I doubt she's seen a single episode lol.
But since she is so worried about whatever "woke" is, she should be made to watch Andor.
And there was the episode with these guys in it?
Yep. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield. They had to make it really blatant to get executive approval.
Also, there's a ton of takes of (I think) Frank Gorshin fucking up his lines on the Star Trek Bloopers LP.
I guess they forgot about season 4 of Star Trek Discovery where Stacy Abrams was the president of Earth.
Or season that 30 year old episode of TNG where Riker has a relationship with an alien who's trans.
Or that really old TOS episode where the people were half black half white, and half white half black.
She doesn't like Star Wars because it's too woke, which is why she's a Trekkie instead. Implying that Star Trek isn't woke. Which is ridiculous.
America you got some weird news hosts.
