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?

    Sure but there are other franchises far more popular amongst geeks, so why Star Trek specifically?

      Watch Star Trek TNG and you’ll instantly get it. The original series was getting a bit dated by the 90s, but TNG is still as fresh as you can get, talking about issues we’re still dealing with - It’s timeless. Not to mention it has, IMO, the best and most synergistic crew of the whole franchise.

      tbh, i’m not sure you’re correct. most other franchises are either more devicive or do not have the same cross generational appeal.

      Star wars is highly devicive

      Stargate was widely loved but currently only exists for a single generation

      BSG was great but didnt achieve the same culture permiation that star trek did
