Iāve really liked all things Trek for my entire life. From the awkward action scenes, technobabble, the occasional courtroom drama, and the ability to deliver a clever plot (at around season 2.5), to the attempts to include all people into the community, the overall themes stand true and hold an important piece in my life.
That being said, Iāve never been a āfanā. You know, someone that really dedicates time, thought, and passion to something until I finally watched SNW. Iāve made the leap from someone that has always really liked Trek into someone that loves it,
There are a few reasons for this. While some may see the writing as slightly campy, I feel that the execution was not only an homage but a better delivery of TOS. The acting is overall an A, the visuals are A+, and the writers really delivered on what Iād expect from Trek; off the wall scenarios that could only be carried through by a small dedicated crew.
I donāt really mean to write an essay here, but I guess this is a long way of saying that Iāve finally found my Trek. Theyāre all valid. Whether you like the camp of TOS, the slow build of TNG, the continuing plot of DS9, the building tension of VOY, or even the theme song from ENT. It is entirely valid and love what you love.
Iām glad to say that I have finally, after all this time, found the Trek for me. I hope youāve found yours, because it can be life changing.
Iāve pretty much had the same, but you have a better way with words. SNW is great.
