Might want to take a second look (though not ready to discredit the vampire claim...).

Star Trek weapons are actually super weak and solid projectile weapons are really strong. I mean, photon torpedoes? That's basically, like, light torpedoes. Torpedoes made of light. I step outside and the sun is out and I'm like, "photon torpedoes incoming" and then I'm like "raise shields" and put on sun screen and make explosion sounds with my mouth and say "shields holding captain."

 "Very good, Number One, proceed to our coordinates ahead warp factor 5" and I make whooshing noises and hold my arms out like wings

Season 1 of TNG isn't very good. Some people have been joking that it was totally worth getting the season over again to see that headsplosion in HD.

The next film is titled Star Trek Into Darkness.

That's not a typo, by the way.

There are a few threads this could go in, but I'ma stickin' it here: Mother Jones interview with George Takei.

He continues to be a fun interview and a great guy; this one's mostly about his upcoming musical about Japanese internment (and its origins in him being moved by the end of Act 1 of The Heights).

A good bit about Trek in there, of course, about being closeted in the 1960's and about the importance of a non-stereotypical Asian character on TV.

Quote
My father told me, "Don't do anything that would bring shame to the family." I was always mindful of that. When I told him I wanted to pursue a career as an actor, my father said, "Look at what you see on television at the movies, is that what you want to be doing? Do you want to make a life out of that?" And I said, "Daddy, I'm going to change it."

Fuck yes.

Trek's got an enduring legacy for a lot of reasons, but I think it's fair to say the most important is its role in showing an idealized future where we are better people.  We'll get over the racial discrimination, it said, and the gender biases, and this issue we've got with the Russians right now will be ancient history.  (And sure, maybe we'll fight some Space Russians, but before you know it one of THEM will be on the bridge, too.)

Chekov was a Russian in Space, and he was even on the bridge.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Right, Worf is the Space Russian I am referring to.

Because TOS has Chekov, a Russian, being perfectly fine and chummy with the rest of the humans, but doesn't REALLY go beyond the Cold War paranoia because it still uses Klingons as stand-ins for Russians.

But then Next Gen brings it full circle by having Klingons join the Federation.  And, it bears noting, this is BEFORE the Berlin Wall came down, so that's pretty visionary stuff.

THAT'S the point.  Not a joke, exactly, but the point.
