So I recently decided to start watching Star Trek, and let me just say I am obsessed!!!!!!!!

I started off with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds because it's the newest series, and the colourful and fun ads on TikTok (bravo to the Paramount + Social team) made me cave in and subscribe to Paramount + despite being annoyed at the existence of yet another streaming platform!

Let me just say that it took less than 5 mins for me to be hooked!

Then I had to go back to Star Trek: The Original Series because I love the 1960s and the vibe of sci-fi from that era - I'm sure I talk about Retro Futurism all the time. I love the campness, the costumes, the philosophical discussions, Spock's particular brand of sarcasm, Captain Kirk's weird fighting style and the random ways his uniform gets destroyed while everyone else comes off rather fine! I love Uhura; Nichelle Nicols was an icon!!!!!

So it's fair to say that I am fast becoming a Trekkie, and I can't wait to watch all the rest of the TV shows and the Movies!
