Star Trek Fans

It must be pretty cool for them to know they are part of something so important to so many people.

Yes, I hope so. I try to keep perspective that first and foremost they are consummate actors. In a heartless industry prone to typecasting many of them into professional obscurity. They have paid a price to be part of this incredible franchise. And that we appreciate such an occupational sacrifice.

Conventions are a lot to handle. There's no denying that. Going on the slower days and getting in line early makes a big difference, but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to deal with all of that. Oh, the things I do for Star Trek.

Speaking of which, I haven't actually watched any Trek since season 3 of Picard finished. I need to rectify that, but that also means re-joining Paramount+. I would have to break my rule of only paying for one streaming service at a time.
