Star Trek, on the other hand, has always actively encouraged fandom. Many other fandoms are indifferent to fan creations, or worse, actively discourage them, citing legalese bullshit. Star Trek is pretty unusual in that it is very supportive of fan-driven creative works as well. I’ve since decided that further study is required! The Dominion War was crazy, y’all! I have seen every episode of Deep Space Nine as well, although I came to its fandom later, so I didn’t devote as much time to my rabid fanaticism and, alas, can’t tell you quite as much about it. I even have a sizable amount of memory devoted to being able to tell which episode is playing, complete with episode title and full plot synopsis, based on a five second clip.
To this day, I can tell you what season an episode is from based just on the style of the uniform Captain Picard is wearing. I was nine when The Next Generation began, and I never missed a single episode. I grew up watching episodes of The Original Series in syndication. This year is the 50th anniversary of the series, which aired for the first time on September 8, 1966, so there are a LOT of people who can probably say they also grew up with it. I can’t remember a time when Star Trek wasn’t a part of my life.
