don’t pander to me, kid. one tiny crack in the hull, and our blood boils in 13 seconds. solar flare might pop up and cook us in our seats. and wait ‘til you’re sitting pretty with a case of andorian shingles. see if you’re still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding! space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.

though my soul may set in darkness,
     it will rise in perfect light.

i have loved the stars too fondly
     to be fearful of the night.

a guide for prospective trekkies

with the trailer for the new jj abrams film hot off the proverbial press, there has been a renewed interest in all things trek. starting any new franchise is scary shit, so i’ve attempted to provide some handy hints n top tips for anyone looking to pursue their interest further and navigate the firey-mouthed behemoth that is the star trek universe.

useful resources

  • The star trek franchise spans approximately 320 years in universe (excluding time travel) and 50 years in real time, and is comprised of 12 movies and 6 tv series. this chronology and scope may seem daunting but do not fear, wikipedia has a timeline here and there is also a more concise one here.
  • memory alpha, the star trek wiki, is also your bff, but beware of spoilers!
  • trekcore is a fabulous archive of everything from screencaps to audio and video clips to rare bts photos
(suggested viewing order, essential episodes and more info under the cut!)
