Star Trek Fans Old and New   by Ryan E

Star Trek has spanned across so many decades, ages groups and fan bases over the years. There is just so much that Star Trek fans can take from the different franchises. From the original TV series, to the renewed version of the 90′s featuring a new crew and ship, to the long list of theatrical films and line of spin-offs which emerged, it is safe to say the fanbase is divided. One of those divisions is most certainly the fans of old and the fans of the new.

Original Star Trek fans of the TV series ignore the fact that almost every alien planet visited by an away team looks exactly the same in terms of geographic landmarks, vegetation and climate.

Fans of the new Star Trek motion picture don’t seem to notice that the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise looks nothing like the bridge of the original ship.

Fans of the TV show pretend to be surprised when the anonymous crew member with a red shirt dies first.

New fans never seem to question the drastic difference in the appearance of Klingons from one century to the next. Was this some kind of advanced evolution?

Old fans can identify with Spock’s quest for logic and denial of having human emotion. Later fans empathized Data’s quest for human emotions and witnessed his attempts to use logic to understand humans.

Old fans of the show recognize the theme song from the original motion picture as it was played in the soundtrack, however fans of ‘The Next Generation’ more likely associate as the opening theme of the TV show. It was also used in the latest 2009 movie.

There are many differences between the fans of the different Star trek movies and spin-offs. Perhaps that is because the broad appeal of the characters, ideals and world created by the original voyage so long ago.
