Thank you for celebrating all that is Star Trek with us, don’t hesitate to share what Star Trek means to you on our social channels and our forums.

Here’s what our very own Fury had to say about Star Trek:

“It's funny, even before I got into Star Trek, I kind of always knew I'd get there eventually.
ST:XI in 2009 was what finally did it, and I watched TOS sequentially until I found ST:IV The Voyage Home and its space whale saviors of the planet, George & Gracie.

I was 13 or so in 2009, so the messages from TOS - and then TNG - really rooted themselves in my thoughts. Star Trek showed off a multifaceted complexity in its characters in a way I hadn't really seen in much of the media I'd been into beforehand - Bones was a person with flaws and a real temper as well as an excellent physician, moral reasoner, and confidant.
Spock was this perfect genius but still in his heart a sassy disaster like the rest of us. Data, MY BOY, really resonated with me, and taught me to think about what it meant to be a person in a way I never had before. He kicked off my lifelong love of androids and fictional intelligent machines.

When I look back, I think I can trace a good deal of my personal growth decisions to things I learned on the Enterprise. You don't have to be an archetype, you don't have to be one thing. You can be anything under the stars!”


Live long and keep on trekking!
