Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

    90s was the breakout time for TV. Before that was sketchy. Go watch Cheers knowing that was the most popular show on TV.

      Agreed, the 90s marked a major improvement (and expansion, thanks to cable) in television compared to prior decades. Children’s television in particular flourished, especially educational programs. I’d consider it a stepping-stone era, however, as like I said things improved substantially again in the following decade.

        Well everything improves over time, but the 90s is when TV turned into something good. You were discussing about aging poorly, but it was the 80s that aged poorly because of everything you said about budget, not attracting the top actors, writers, etc. That all changed in the 90s.
