Star Trek: The Animated Series

Set phasers to rhetorical analysis of Star Trek fandom. Star Trek, while it started as a television series in 1966, has grown into a massive universe that has captivated millions across the world. Fans of Star Trek, better known as “Trekkies”, are devoted fans of the series who love it not only for its space action and adventure, but also for its themes and lessons about life and the world. There is heated debate among Trekkies concerning the origin of the term. It is said that an editor named Arthur Saha called a group of fans wearing pointy ears “Trekkies” at the World Science Fiction Convention in 1966 (Memory Alpha). There is also a debate between the terms “Trekkie” and “Trekker”; Trekker being said to be used by average fans, while…

Mentioned again is the ‘’head fake.’’ His programs allowed his students to have fun while learning something hard, or, completely mask what they were actually learning. These classes allowed him to focus on people and learning to work in groups. One of his most important lessons from this is getting…

In the sketch you can see already there 's are negative connotations associated with "fandom" (which consists of taste, class and gender) the actors dressed like stereotype 'nerds ' as in wearing glasses, acting like shy and wearing Star Trek memorabilia e.g .
