Welcome Post!

Hey! Thanks for checking in on my blog, Star Trek and Sociology. It's been a brainchild of mine for a while.

The main reason I created it is that Star Trek is so full of sociological possibilities, and the ability to dissect and come up with your own conclusions is pretty much as open as possible.

Not to mention, with the reboot (and a very interracial couple in it), there's a new fandom cropping up (shout out to ontd_startrek!).

My first few blogs will be about two major relationships in the franchise. I also am sort of a Uhura fangirl, so I am likely going to start a series on her (with further research, I'll probably do the same for Sulu).

The topics I write about will probably be incredibly TOS and Reboot centric, but I definitely plan on jamming in some TNG, Deep Space Nine, and even Voyager and Enterprise (hold your boos).

I'm also pretty snarky, sarcastic, and my humour varies from completely stupid to...I'll get back to you. I also make a lot of pop culture references, and while my point is very serious, I usually present it in an amusing way.

To end this on a very cliche note, Live Long and Prosper, you crazy diamonds.

See, I even got two in there.
