Recently I was talking with people about how I watch TNG, DS9, Voyager, Picard, Lower Decks and people point if I’m a trekkie, and to be honest I don’t feel like a fan of Star Trek despite is mostly the only series I care to watch apart of Avatar Aang/Korra.

I tried to get into The Original Series, but I just can’t, today I saw Mirror mirror, I don’t know if I’m a trekkie really, but people still seeing me like that.

After that, I have two choises, watch Enterprise or Strange New World and I think I will go for SNW.

    Trekker was always the self-identified name for the fandom. Trekkie is what everyone else called them, most often in a disparaging way.

      From what I’ve been told Trekker was the OG term and Gene started calling fans Trekkies at conventions because he thought it sounded better. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
