MEME REVIEW MONDAY: Warp Troubles, Human Rights, and More Dukats Than You Can Shake a Spear At
Hello and welcome back to another Meme Review! This week has been amazingly sparse in memeable Star Trek content so this week's meme collection is quite eclectic. I hope you enjoy!
Up first we have a meme from @benjalicious on Tumblr.
I personally love memes referencing “Chain of Command” and I think this one is perfect. I’ve never seen this version of the Drake meme so that was a fun surprise. It is literally the perfect version of this Drake meme for the Five/Four guys meme. Overall very very solid meme.
Next we have a meme from @socialistsinspace on instagram
This meme was pretty straight forward but I love it all the same. I appreciate that in this meme warp 10 is a drug and the trip (haha get the pun) is being everywhere all at once (and maybe turning into a lizard).
Next up we have a meme from @unidentifiedlyingobject on Tumblr.
Fun fact about me, I absolutely love Shakespeare so of course I loved this meme. @unidentifiedlyingobject has been reading Romeo and Juliet and keeps posting Star Trek memes about it on their Tumblr and I feel like these memes are catered specifically to me. Star Trek and Shakespeare combined? What more could a man want? Also I love the editing of all 40 Dukats.
Next up we have a meme from @stra-tek on Tumblr.
This is a play on a The Simpsons meme and I think it’s great. I do wonder why Data has more human rights than Riker. I think that’s a very funny detail. This meme does make me think about how exactly Starfleet decides whether something has “rights” because it does seem a little bit inconsistent across the series.
Next up we have a meme from @lonely-girl-1612 on Tumblr.
This meme is so absurd and I love it. Party Spock is very scary to me. Why are his glasses like that? What is the scarf(?) he’s wearing? What is he smiling at? What exactly does a logical party entail? I don’t think any of my burning questions will ever be answered and I simply have to accept Party Spock as he is.
Next up we have a meme from @robintreks on Instagram.
I’ve never actually seen a Top Gun movie so I have no clue how good Top Gorn would be but I’d like to imagine it would be absolutely epic. I’m not really a huge fan of action movies but I would definitely watch one that had Gorn instead of guns.
Next up we have one of my favorite memes ever from @earlgreymemes on X.
I love RuPaul’s Drag Race and I actually just started watching the new season. So of course, when I ran across a meme that included both Star Trek and Drag I had to include it. I never knew I needed a Vulcan version of RuPaul’s Drag Race until I saw this meme. Now I don’t know how I’ve gone my whole life without it.
Ok that’s all I have for you this week. Alas I could not for the life of me come up with an original Star Trek meme. The well of creativity was dry today. Apologies. I will see you all next week!
