      It’s been on Trek fandom lists of best movies because the fans noticed.

      Trek fans prior to 2010-ish tended to not take themselves too seriously. They took the show seriously, sure (maybe too seriously) but not themselves.

        Yup. We also laughed at Shatner’s get a life sketch, and dozens of gags from Futurama and Family Guy.

        The ways humans engage with their personal fascinations are often inherently ridiculous, and everybody ought to be able to laugh at that.
