Happy 50th Star Trek, my first fandom love that I love unflaggingly to today. You have made such an impact on my life and that subject line is one of the reasons. Yes people have taken pot shots at you for your utopian airs (which I would argue because there was a shit-ton of strife on the show) but I LOVED that you showed me a future where men and women were equal, that the color of your skin or your faith/culture was the equal of anyone else's. You gave us the first interracial kiss, the first lesbian kiss (granted neither were really what we would have wanted them to be but you had censors to fight).

My tree house was the Starship Enterprise (and the other tree house was the ship from Lost in Space so I was doomed to SF geekery from a very early age). My parents loved that I loved you.

My first Hollywood crushes were Spock and Sulu (Sorry, Bill, but Kirk wasn't my type. You just weren't as sexy to me as Leonard and George). This crush lasted well I'll let you know when it's over. My middle school locker was covered with Star Trek pictures (which got me beaten up emotionally and spat on in reality, assholes).

You helped to create the adult I am now. I hope still to create characters as wonderful as yours.

Love you always.

Here's to another 50 years together.

and oh, if this treacle wasn't enough for you, I split my thoughts and posted half of them on Jana's blog here

and have some articles: USA today’s collection of articles.
