Is there any equivalent to the Star Trek viewing party sub yet? I’m watching through Next Gen right now and reading through each episode’s thread afterwards is pretty enjoyable. There isn’t enough love for TOS on that sub though

    It’s a matter of having enough posts and comments to have additional subs or communities.

    The mod of this one @[email protected] has replied to other similar questions that, as there is volume and interest, other communities (subs) can be added here.

    (I previously posed the same question about establishing a Treklit or trekbooks one.)

    There’s definitely and interest and an open invitation to mods of other Trek-related subreddits, to set up and find a home here.

    For now, the three communities that exist cover the waterfront from more serious to humorous, with the general StarTrek one also being the meta discussion for the community.

      Yeah that makes sense, although I would enjoy a Treklit community. I haven’t read any Trek books for probably well over a decade now but I read so many when I was younger.

      I think I have a serious case of canon brain, but then again I watched through all of TAS even though it really stops being good at Yesteryear.

      Also, how good is Yesteryear? I was so surprised that such a good story could be found in TAS, and with enough respect to the main show to put a reference in to a throwaway line from TOS about a Vulcan “teddy bear”.

        I’ll just chime in to add that things can and will evolve over time, as we gauge the communities’ overall health and needs. We’re paying attention!

          Oh none of this was a criticism of how this community is being run. I just like talking Trek and this is by far the best place for general Trek talking.

            Honestly, we’re glad people are thinking about this stuff - the way we’re going to succeed is by having users who are actually invested in the place.
