    I try to explain to people why star trek is not just boring people saying boring things in a boring looking space cockpit for hours and hours on end, I think this picture explains it very well, nice job!

      I just say that people who are interested in philosophy, ethics and humanism and are open to SciFi will most likely like Star Trek.

        im into stems, thats why. i used to binge on space-base documentaries, plus other docs in the early 2000s(cable). the most ignorant seems to be more focused on people who are gymbros(certain demographics/military and profit-making industries.

        for some reason star wars just doesnt have the same attraction as trek is, im guessing its more drama(SW) vs "technobabble, realistic scientific discovery development in the future(even though some concepts maybe impossible)

          I always thought the science in Star Trek was an unrealistic plot device.

          And yeah, Star Wars is a space opera and not really comparable to Trek. I personally don’t really like it, it’s just another action/drama franchise without much philosophical substance

      theres a saying(dont know where it came from), if a person think everything/or alot of things are boring then the person saying is a boring person.
