I've never considered myself a Trekkie. Sure, I like Star Trek. I powered through the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds while battling Covid-19. The show, which follows the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (masterfully played by Anson Mount), is an action-packed fresh look at some of the universe's most beloved characters. We've met Spock, Uhura, and now James Kirk, who ends up taking the reins of USS Enterprise after Pike. It may not be the best television show of all time, but a…

Greetings, Trekkies. It's really no wonder Star Trek has so many loyal fans. Gene Roddenberry's visionary imagination birthed a universe that remains a beacon of progressiveness even to this day. From the pioneering original series to more recent, bold spinoffs Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds, these television (and cinematic) masterpieces have always championed characters and storylines that embody tolerance, curiosity, and peace. We really can't help but marvel at the vastness of t…

Getting up there!

Happy Tuesday, Trekkies! It goes without saying, but the Star Trek universe has had one of the greatest impacts on internet meme culture out of all the big nerd franchises. In my opinion, it’s easily had THE greatest impact. Now, I didn’t grow up watching Star Trek. In fact, I had no idea exactly what it was for the longest time. It was just some vague, random space thing that I often conflated with Star Wars. But all that changed one day. It wasn’t my friends or family who introduced me to the…

We meet again, Trekkies and …non-Trekkies, the latter of whom probably won't enjoy this batch of memes. We're back to celebrate one of our favorite series, and we are definitely not holding back in the meme department. Like we have discussed in our other Star Trek meme collection s , there's a lot for us fans to be excited about. But unfortunately, we need to wait. Which is pretty hard to do these days, given how much we enjoyed Strange New Worlds and especially since Star Trek: Discovery's sea…

Beep boop

Happy Star Trek Day everyone! You know how today is Star Trek day? Good thing nothing in the world has happened to take away from the glorious holiday celebrating everybody's favorite space franchise. There's no current event so major that it could completely alter the trajectory of September 8th 2022, rendering Star Trek day completely useless. Okay, I'll budge. the death of Queen Elizabeth II may or may not have thrown a wrench into the whole Star Trek Day thing. At least Star Trek isn't in i…

“You employed the use of a double negative in the title of this article. It shows a command of the English language that is subpar at best and frightening at worst.” If some variation of that thought ran through your head when you read this headline, you're a regular Young Sheldon. Or you're adult Sheldon; knowing pedantic weirdos, you're probably an adult Sheldon. Young Sheldon is at least cute enough to find slightly bemusing, but regular old elder millennial Sheldon can be a real irritating…

I know what you're probably thinking: “What? Memebase puts out so many lists of random memes every week? Are you sure that this is the absolute funniest?!”

Let's be honest: not all memes are for everyone. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but some memes contain layers of esoteric knowledge reserved for only the nerdiest among us. Being a nerd comes in so many different forms. Nerds can be straight-A students who have devoted their lives to exceeding academically. Nerds can also be pedantic fans of science fiction or fantasy franchises like Star Trek or Lord of The Rings. But y'all already knew that. Everyone is a nerd for something; We all have…

It's been a good few years for fans of Star Trek who have been craving more content. While we didn't love Picard, and we do have some complaints about the plot and writing of Star Trek: Discovery , we are looking forward to seeing Anson Mount reprise his role as Christopher Pike in Strange New Worlds, and for Vampire Diaries ' Paul Wesley to join the show as Captain James Kirk in its second season. While we'll have to wait until the second season for our reintroduction to Captain Kirk, the firs…

Hello again, Trekkies and …non-Trekkies, the latter of whom should probably click elsewhere. We're back to celebrate one of our favorite fictional series, and we're not holding back in the meme department. Like we discussed in last week's Star Trek meme collection , there's a lot for us fans to be excited for. It's just that we need to wait. Which is prsetty hard to do these days - especially since Star Trek: Discovery's season finale was such a terrible bust. To cleanse our palate of that disa…

The Star Trek universe is a very special one. Somehow, Gene Roddenberry created a world - and television shows - that have always felt impressively progressive in both characters and storyline. From the original series, to some of the more controversial and new offerings, the stories promote tolerance, curiosity, and peace. Which is impressive given the insane scope of the universe. It's incredible that despite all their different customs, cultures, and quirks, most of the species seem to get a…
