Being an awkward teenager, Star Trek almost griped a
paralyzing fear other my nerdness, even anything could make my personality less
impaling to girls than in already was, Star Trek would make my awkwardness even
worse. I had been a Star Wars fan since I was kid. Star Trek the Next
Generation and Deep Space Nine were on the air when I was a kid, and they never
seemed to appeal to me, mainly because I was always more interested in Star
Wars. Star Trek was always geared to different crowd outside the main stream.
Star Trek is series designed to help you think and expand your knowledge and
understanding as oppose to show casing fast paced action, and sex. The first
pilot episode of Star Trek "The Cage" as rejected by NBC because it
was too mind bending and lacked action.
While most Sci-Fi is designed to help its viewers think and expand upon their way of thinking,
main stream audience don’t pacticlure get into to Scifi because of that very
reason, they won’t more action, and more sex. George Lucas took his inspiration
for STAR WARS from things such as Flash Gordon, and other fantasy tales he grew
up reading as a child. Lucas felt lots
of Sci-Fi that pre dated Star Wars, lacked the sense of heroism, and adventure.
There has been a rivalry between both franchises. To me as good who grew up idolizing
heroes, and being taken away their heroics, and how they always pull through against
the bad guys, Star Trek, for what it appeared to be always seemed kind of
strange, boring, and uninteresting. The only difference between Star Trek and
Star Wars, is the word Star. Stark Trek was pitched to NBC by Gene Rodenberry
as a band wagon to the stars, and sort of space western. Star Trek, is about exploring
space for the needs to better ones culture, in the future of United Federation
of Planets, money is no longer the means of living, and search of exploration
is. Star Wars however, is about more than just blowing star ships. Mastering
the force requires lots of thinking and focus, and dose teaches valuable
lessons, to believe in your own self and let go of fear.
My whole life the words beam me up Scotty were quoted
directly to my face, and I was excused of being a tricky due to my nerdy appearance,
however I knew nothing about Star Trek literally nothing, about the show, or
the characters, I knew zip. And that because I had stayed away from the
franchise. As a teenager I got into Isaac Asimov, and Piers Anthony, and Terry
Brooks. When the Lord of The Rings movies wrapped up in 2003 I hope it would at least build up enough
potential to view to get girls to like me but was I just too hopeless.
Most of my inspirtion for Scifi came from a little knowm british series called Red Dwarf. If you were too compare Star Trek and Red Dwarf, i would simply put it this way. Star Trek is the white colour of space, Red dwarf is the blue colour. With all the witt and charm of Mounty Pyphon, unlikee the situations and diolege in Star Trek, Red Dwarf never took it self too serously. While shows like Red Dwarf made mockrey of Star Trek you still see its influence.
You can see the influence from Star Trek in a lot off Scfi, just like with Star Wars. Love it or hate, its infulence is seen a lot in our culture.
It was always for me persanly, the way Trekies or Treckers,
are viewed by society. They ware the franshise too heavly on their sleevs, and
if they won to isolate them selvs in thee fantasey world, cuase like accident rome,
Star Wars and Stark Trek fans feel both worlds, need to be learned and explored.
Convetions can often be imdeamting, yet if ones isn’t love by female society do
their haveny interest in a franchise, they need to not worry about well female
society, and just find a female that suits them, and is willing in accept their
intrest. When I say wearing the franchise heavely on youre sleev to the point
were it isolates ones self, im not just
talking fan convetions, and the way societys views Trekies patilccure when I comes
to often being a virgin and not appealing to females. Star Treks fans have taken their love of the
show, as shown in the documentary Trekies. They see the fanchise as a way of
life, dressing up as charicters, even wearing extensive make up, there some who
have had Star Trek themed weddings.
As the 2009 reboot was fastly approaching I myself still
knew very little about the franchise .
My areas of interest in 2005s Stars Wars III Revenge of The Sith, which I enjoyee
very much despite the mixted reviews, I had also been a Superman fan my whole
life and was exploring that world in
paticlure, in other worlds Super Heroes have always been my main thing.
The first even episode I was watched of Star Trek was trouble
with triffles in a high school math class, as rather, more relaxing lesson
given by the teacher. And the second episode
I watched didn’t come until four years later, after lot having a very good experience
in a night club, I began to drown my sorrow on the internet, and I figured
since the neww reboor was looking really good, I was time to watch another
episode of Star Trek, the episode in which crew are infected by simlure
inxtocation which one would get my achol, felt somewhat simulure to a Red Dwarf
episode called Polly moprh. I later watched Charlie X and Space Seed. When I
saw Star Trek 2009 I was blown away, I coudnt bleeive JJ Abrams made Star Trek
cool. It totally change my views on Scifi, that it can be sexy, cool, and have
lots of action,

After years of hiding from Star Trek, and avoiding it at all cost, i figured that there was a lot to learn from the show. Every adventure has a lesson, one tthat expand on the way we think to give a us a bigger prespective of the universe, to understand th diversty, and who we are, and to think and live better. I don't consider myself a Trekie,, and instead of ending this with a quote from Spock ill just say ill bodly end this post like no man has before. Well atleast ill end it with a good luck.
