In this thought-provoking episode of *Thursday Night Geeks*, we take a deep dive into our own Star Trek fandom, asking: *Why do we gravitate toward the Star Trek we grew up with as we age?* Is it nostalgia, comfort, or something more deeply ingrained in our psychology?
Joining us for this discussion is a sociologist who will break down the science behind nostalgia, how our brains form attachments to media, and why our formative years shape our fandom preferences. We'll also hear a fresh perspective from a younger Trek fan, a university student who is experiencing Star Trek for the first time through several series. Do newer fans connect differently with the franchise, or is the Trek experience universal across generations?
Expect an engaging conversation filled with self-reflection, humor, and maybe even a little existential crisis as we ask the big question: Has Star Trek moved on… or have we?
