reasons to love star trek
  • the cast has been more diverse since 1966 than some shows today
  • seemlessly integrated a gay character without making it a big deal and treating it as something huge
  • shows that lgbtq+ characters are a normalcy and didn’t stereotype them at all
  • this quote from one of the writers when asked why they made a certain character gay: “I mean it could have been anybody: Kirk is a pansexual fun seeker; who knows why Bones got divorced? Nobody said Spock and Uhura were exclusive; Chekov is just permanently horny and let’s face it, there’s more to Scotty and Keenser than meets the eye.” - simon pegg
  • the movies dont have a romantic relationship subplot where the guy finally gets the girl or anything
  • the movies focus on the platonic love between the crew as a family and everyone gets ample backstory + screen time
  • cool space stuff ???
  • badass women who take no shit
  • star trek has always been about pushing social boundaries and striving towards a more ideal and open minded future
  • pavel chekov !!!! what an angel
  • although the movies were made generations apart, they are still closely bonded in story and by the cast itself
  • i love star trek so much !!?!?!
