I find the opinion that religion wouldn't exist in Star Trek kind of extreme. The notion seems to rely on the idea that, in the enlightened future Star Trek proposes, religion is too barbaric of a concept to survive.

This is, first of all, untrue within the text of the franchise. Pike is said to have had a religious upbringing in SNW, McCoy seems to have some connection to Christianity, Picard is agnostic, a lot of the Bajorans including Kira are religious, there is a Muslim background character in Lower Decks, and the crew seem pretty open to the idea of God existing in Star Trek V. Hell, there are tons and tons of biblical references in TOS. There's a whole episode called Journey to Babel.

But even aside from canon evidence, the idea that religion is something that humans must evolve past in order to reach their full potential is pretty uncharitable. People aren't all going to believe the same thing. The best thing we can hope for in the future is not that people will stop having these different beliefs, but that (so long as they do not condone poor treatment or devaluing of others), we will stop seeing certain religions as barbaric and we can simply believe them and express them without pain. A world where you could walk down the street and see an atheist, a Christian, a Hindu, and any other religion, all treating each other's beliefs with respect, not forcing their views on others. Just listening and understanding.

Quite frankly what we need is more representation of religions in Star Trek. Religions from indigenous peoples, African nations, Asian nations, etc. have seen little coverage or reference in Star Trek at all. And I think that's a shame. Star Trek has always been about growing as people and educating ourselves as times around us change. It doesn't matter if a religion has 100 followers or 100 million followers. People can always learn more about them, and I'd love seeing a future where they are all equally valued and get to be seen.

I love Star Trek, I love how every time a federation ship goes into the romulan neutral zone there is also immediately a romulan ship. Like girl, what were YOU doing in the neutral zone?

Star Trek franchise wins the Peabody Institutional Award → June 9 2024

At the 84th Annual Peabody Awards, the Star Trek franchise received the Peabody Institutional Award which is given annually to recognize an organization or long-running television program that has made an indelible mark on the American broadcasting landscape.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast members Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck joined fellow Star Trek franchise actors and creatives on stage as executive producer Alex Kurtzman accepted the award.

Kurtzman spoke about the almost 60 year legacy of the franchise that has given hope to us all and that no matter who you are there is a place for you in the Star Trek family. He also recognized Bjo Trimble, who was in attendance, and was part of a successful "Save Star Trek" campaign in 1968, generally credited with allowing the series to run for a third season rather than being cancelled after two.

Also in attendance were Patrick Stewart, LeVar Burton, Scott Bakula, Jeri Ryan, Wilson Cruz, Doug Jones, Tawny Newsome, Sam Richardson, Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, Michelle Paradise, Olatunde Osunsanmi, Noga Landau, Jenny Lumet, Trevor Roth and J.J. Abrams.

This is why starfleet bans high-ranking officers from using whatever version of tik-tok the federation has.

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - Those Old Scientists

Given a longer time frame, I might be able to brute force a solution. But as of now, there is no way to track the Orions.

Things I Learned Selling Smutty Fan Art At A Comic Convention

The overwhelming majority of women at comic conventions are into smut.

They all feel free to be excited about seeing smut around their friends, but they sneak away from the group 20 minutes later to actually buy it.

The majority of men are horrified by the sight of a guy with his shirt off.

Something can be so gay that homophobes can’t linger long enough to spout their bigoted views, lest they be seen standing near gay stuff.

Tween girls LOVE offensive stickers. LOVE. THEM.

Dads will reluctantly buy tween daughters almost anything they want.

Those dads draw the line at stickers that say “fuck me like the government.”

I knew anime was huge, but Jesus Christ, I was the only person in a Star Trek uniform at a COMIC CONVENTION. It was like 70% anime cosplay.

For all the shit people talk online, Star Wars is still huuuuuge. The day I went as Obi-Wan I was stoically told “May the force be with you” all day long by fellow Jedi.

When your friend says “if you’re going as Obi-Wan, I’m going as a sexy Anakin” you are apparently not allowed to ask “Hayden Christensen or Jake Lloyd?”

I am very curious about how people go about watching star trek since there is so much of it

I am also curious about the order in which you watched the series as a whole, so let me know!

YETIDE BADAKI AS NEERA KETOUL IN STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - 2.02 - AD ASTRA PER ASPERA

[gatersgonewild]

I need Spirk Academy Era fics to be less AOS and more SNW because I need Spock and Sam in a literal brawl in the middle of campus while Jim takes bets on how fucked up Sam is gonna be when Spock is done with him. I need Spock literally telling Sam not to test him or he’ll fuck his brother and Jim is all *whispers* ‘test him test him test him test him test him-‘ not realizing Sam isn’t the only one hearing him. I need Spock going to girls night where he complains that he can’t possibly marry Jim or he’ll be brothers-in-law with Sam and Uhura is all *pats his hair* ‘…so… can I fuck your bondmate?’ And Spock sorta just shrugs like whatever it’s not like he’s gonna, and now Spock has decided he’s gonna have to kill Sam before he marries Jim. God. What a chore.

I think making it more SNW would be funny entirely for the Kirk dynamics.
