MEME REVIEW MONDAY: A Meme On Memes, An Org Chart, and One Q's Opinion

Memes abound again this week!

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 - Hello and welcome back to another Meme Review Monday! I’m super proud of the selection I’ve curated for you all this week so let’s jump right into it!

---

First up we have a meme that was circulating Tumblr a bit ago and that I find very funny. 

This meme started circulating after Robert Beltran liked a tweet saying that real Star Trek Fans don’t have pronouns and the gay and trans flag in their social media bios. I found that to be hilarious because throughout all of its existence, Star Trek has always been at the forefront of social change. This is a meme review so I won’t go on my rant on how woke Star Trek really is but if you want it let me know, because I certainly can in a different article.

Next we have a meme I also found on tumblr though it has been reblogged so many times I do not know who the original creator is. 

I love alignment chart memes and I think this one is absolutely great. My only note is that I would move Adira closer to “would never dream of breaking Starfleet regulations.” This meme also made me realize that Tendi and Tilly would be great friends.

Next up we have a meme from @robintreks on Instagram

I always love a good Harry Kim meme. Poor guy. This also made me realize that the lower deckers are officially higher in rank than Harry Kim (which I totally think the Lower Decks writers should mention if they haven’t yet).

Next up we have a meme from @socialistsinspace on Instagram.

I have never felt more represented by a meme. This meme is essentially my job here at DSTN. I also highly suggest you check out their Instagram account as they make very high-quality Star Trek memes and make iconic Star Trek meme formats.

Next up we have a meme from @startrekmemes_ on instagram.

I loved this meme for a multitude of reasons. First I love to imagine O’Brien as the family IT guy of DS9 because that is literally his job. As the resident family IT guy I also feel very represented by this meme and O’Brien as a character.

Next up we have another meme from @socialistsinspace on instagram.

Every time I see a meme from this account I have to check to make sure I’m not ghost posting. I have never felt more represented by a meme account in my life. This is exactly what I do. I found out that one of my professors watches Star Trek and I continue to talk to him about it every day after class.

 Next up we have a meme from @HeatherLanePA on X.

As a huge Star Wars fan I love it when there are meme crossovers. I also love puns. All that is to say, this meme is absolutely perfect in every way.

Next up we have a meme from @davidmcgeoch9 on Twitter.

I really like this meme as it is effectively a summary of “Encounter at Farpoint.” I am also a huge Q fan so I will appreciate any Q meme there is. 

---

Finally, we have a meme made by yours truly (though I got the template from @socialistsinspace 

This may be a hyper-niche meme, however, this is my meme review so I can make whatever memes I want. As a college student, this is pretty much my life right now. I work so that I can watch Star Trek but there is always more homework.

Ok, that’s all I have for you guys today! I’ll see you next week!
