Beware imposters...

The only fake trekkies are the ones complaining that newer Trek is too political or "woke."
What show did they even watch?
- They're not "too political" or "woke," they're written by terrible committees and the executive producers / show runners are hacks.
  Lower Decks (and Prodigy, I'm told) excluded.
  
  Strange New Worlds is fantastic and takes plenty of risks other shows don't.
  
  The best Star Trek show is the one you like the most. If that's Discovery, that's fine. And if you don't like the show, that's also fine. But making an overall declaration that a show is terrible and tacitly expecting everyone to agree is not cool.
  
  Wow, they're just outing themselves

Isn't this Han Solo and Chewbacca?
- No, this is Patrick (and perhaps Jonathan?)
- No, I'm pretty sure it's Malcolm Reynolds and Wash.
- *Han solo and Quackbacca

For those who don't know, that is a picture of odo and quark from Deep Space nine. Quarks name has been deliberately misspelled as Quack.
- They deliberately misspelled Obi too.

I'd sooner caution against gatekeeping.
- Agreed. I am very fond of star trek already and i am only 10 episodes into the original series. I believe it will take several months if not year before i get to know the characters in this picture.

Uhhhh that is obviously Laas and Rom.
- Data and Neelix
  
  It's pronounced Netflix you dummy

I'm a real Trekkie. My favorite ships are the USS Prometheus and the MCRN Rocinante.
- Good ships.

Wait, the Doctor had an alien companion at some point? I'm a trekky through and through but I didn't know that
- I want this character to appear in Star Trek
  
  He's in the post already, with the big ears
  
  Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a duck!
  
  Dr. Migleemo is the closest I've seen.
- It's one of the lost serials.
- Kes?

I watched maybe 3-10 Startrek episodes, I didn't see those or most of the people in the memes here.
Still I love this community
- Quarks name is misspelled. They should've given him a duck head to make it more obvious
  
  Should have or should've, not should of.
- That is because there are many series with each their own characters.

I'm just cracking up picturing Odo changing into an obo to spy on the visiting Cardassian orchestra
- Oboe.

I'm re-watching DS9 for the third time or something, but I've never seen anything released after Voyager except for the Abrams movie travesties. Am I still a Trekkie?
- Even those that only played Star Trek Online can consider themselves trekkies.
  We don't gatekeep.
  
  I want to know these people who play STo but haven't watched Star Trek. Mainly to study them.
- You should consider watching the Lower Decks episode "Hear All, Trust Nothing" if nothing else.
  
  Well, I gotta say cartoon Kira and Quark have me very curious.
- Yes
- Noooo, you need to watch every episode pay for extra subscription services just to watch every new episode the day it is release.
  Honestly anyone can get into star trek if they want to
- Only like 1/4th of the new stuff even has half-decent writing. Only the last season of Picard and the Strange New Worlds or what ever are even good TV, let alone "Star Trek"
  I ... guess what I'm saying is, you're not missing much. Stange New Worlds is probably the closest to old trek. The other crap is drama before even plot, let alone drama over intelligence.

My favorite character was always Officer Woof

If this risa mag has taught me anything is that I'm not current on Trek.
I grew up on re-runs of TOS and I've seen most of the movies but not much at all of DS9 and NG and other TV shows. And I'm not really sure I want to watch all that. Very much enjoying 3rd Rock from the Sun right now, tyvm.

I bet they wouldn't even recognize the commander of the station Captain Netgear.

Two of my least favorite characters anyway.
THERE, I SAID IT.
