MEME REVIEW MONDAY: A Survey, a Spock Comparison, and a Balanced Breakfast
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 - Hello and welcome back to another Monday Meme Review. If you celebrate, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We here at DSTN took the week off which was a nice break, however now I have 2 weeks worth of memes for you all, so let’s jump right in!
First up we have a meme from @robintreks on instagram.
As a pun lover, I found this to be very silly. I really appreciated this. I just sent out a survey that asked this exact question so this was doubly silly to me.
Next up we have a meme from @scherzokinn on Tumblr.
I love memes that make fun of Sarek for being a Vulcan. That man sure lacks logic. I’m not sure what he expected to happen when he had a child with a human. Poor Spock and all his daddy issues.
Speaking of Spock, I think this meme from @guineverslancelot on Tumblr perfectly sums up the difference between SNW and TOS Spock.
I really think this meme speaks (or sings) for itself. I would love to see TOS Spock meet SNW Spock, I’m sure that would be very interesting. I honestly didn’t love the musical episode at first but now that I’ve rewatched it a couple of times I love it.
Speaking of rewatching Star Trek, this meme from @startrek_memes on Instagram is perfect.
I definitely do this. I have a confession to make… I have never seen Star Trek: Enterprise, however, instead of watching Enterprise, I chose to rewatch my favorite TNG episodes over and over again. I also recently rewatched Discovery for no good reason.
Next up, we have a meme from @trecasttng on Instagram that I absolutely love.
I love Brent Spiner and I think he did an absolutely amazing job playing all of these different characters. He managed to make them all very distinct, which we can really see in season 3 of Picard. His acting there was some of the best I’ve ever seen.
Next up we have a meme from @spocks-bikini-and-datas-bra on Tumblr.
This is hilarious and the editing is immaculate. My favorite is definitely the Wil Wheaties. I love how they photoshopped present-day Wil Wheaton’s face onto Wesley. I also found the phrase “Please State the Nature of the Nutritional Emergency '' on the Picardos to be very funny, especially because Cheerios have exactly 0 nutritional value.
Next up we have a meme sent to me by my friend Alex (hi Alex!)
I hate this meme with every fiber of my being. It is painful to look at. The longer I look the worse it gets. I don’t know who made this meme but I hope whoever did will forever lose socks in the dryer so that they can never have a matching pair, maybe then they will begin to understand the pain this meme put me through. Now I am subjecting you all to this meme so you can understand my fury.
Finally, last but not least, we have a meme made by yours truly.
This is exactly what happened to me, and I’m sure many of you who celebrate Thanksgiving. I have discovered that I really cannot hold up a conversation with anyone in my family without mentioning Star Trek at least once.
Ok, that’s all I have for you all this week! I’ll see you next Monday!
Aster is a fresh face to Daily Star Trek News, joining the ranks as a contributing writer. Though he may be young, he self-describes as a hardcore nerd, lover of cheese sticks and niche internet discourse. Outside of his long-time obsession with Star Trek, Aster is an avid cosplayer, crocheter, and Catan enthusiast who is attending school for technical theater and design. He's very excited to debut in his "professional nerd career" and finally put all his obscure nerd facts to good use.
