As a Star Trek fan whose favourite Star Trek series is “Star Trek: The Original Series”, I decided to
compile a collection of tweets about the show as well as some of the Original Series films from the
website Twitter. Tweets are posts which are 280 characters or less. Some of these tweets have
images. I’m grouping these tweets into different sections and will be providing commentary in some
cases. Let’s begin.
USS Enterprise
This section deals with the crew’s iconic starship the USS Enterprise featuring both the Enterprise
from the TV series and the Enterprise from the Original Series films. It features models of the
Enterprise. The first one below is from the TV Series.

The following two tweets are from Star Trek Starships, the Twitter page of “Star Trek: The Official
Starships Collection”. They feature fan pictures of their models of the Original Series TV Enterprise
and the Original Series film Enterprise.

The following tweet by Ben Robinson who runs “Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection” features
a large model of the Enterprise-A from the films to commemorate Star Trek’s 50th Anniversary in
2016.

Vulcan
These are a collection of tweets about Spock, his planet/species Vulcan and the actor who portrayed
the original Spock Leonard Nimoy.
If Leonard Nimoy as Spock taught me anything, was to see the universe through Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. #IDIC #LLAP— Eric Berry 🖖🏻⚡️🎙 (@trekkieb47) 27 February 2015

This is Leonard Nimoy directing the fourth Star Trek film “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” in
character.
We are deeply saddened to report the passing of Leonard Nimoy. He died this morning at the age of 83 #LLAP pic.twitter.com/M5994t9HIL— Star Trek (@StarTrek) 27 February 2015
This is the official Star Trek Twitter page reporting Leonard Nimoy’s death 4 years ago. The next two
tweets were posted just after his death. RIP Leonard Nimoy. You did an incredible job portraying my
favourite Star Trek character Spock.
Elton John dedicates "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" to #LeonardNimoy at Cincinnati show. "Safe travels, Dr. Spock."— Clint Davis (@MrClintDavis) 28 February 2015
As a fan of both Star Trek & Elton John, I was pleased that Elton John dedicated a song of his in
concert to Leonard Nimoy following his death. I’d like to point that Leonard Nimoy’s character is
actually Mr. Spock. :)
Leonard Nimoy - you were amazing! #RIP #LLAP @TheRealNimoy #LeonardNimoy (pic Chinese Theatre Hollywood) pic.twitter.com/u8ojyYiWNK— Dawn Turton (@TurtonDawn) 27 February 2015
The following two tweets are from visitors to the Canadian town of Vulcan, Alberta which embraces
Star Trek due to its name.

All The Rest
The following is a grouping of tweets covering a range of Original Series issues.
Today I visited Vasquez Rocks, the famous @StarTrek location for Arena and other episodes. There I am standing where Kirk 1st faced the Gorn pic.twitter.com/IAfABsUdyj— Scott Kardel (@palomarskies) 28 January 2017
Watching the TOS 2nd pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is like watching alternate-universe Trek. #bizarre— Jesse (@dagraffman) 17 October 2010
I think this tweet is spot-on about the “Where No Man Has Gone Before” episode, as I think that this
episode is probably set in an alternate universe. The reason I think so is because the uniforms were
different, the Enterprise crew was a bit different, I don’t believe the character of Gary Mitchell & his
fate was ever mentioned again and it suggested that Captain James Kirk’s middle initial was R
instead of T as established later on. I’d be interested to hear other people’s thoughts on this in the
comments.

"Dialysis?! What is this?! The dark ages?!" Dr. McCoy, Star Trek IV.— Jacob Nahin (@JacobNahin) 24 June 2008
This is a good joke by Doctor McCoy on the state of 20th century medicine in the 1986 film “Star
Trek IV: The Voyage Home” where the crew travels back in time to that year. I’ll end this section with
this good piece of artwork featuring Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy and Scotty below.
Legacy
I’ll conclude this blog post with two tweets on the show’s legacy.
You know what, Star Trek: TOS is such an incredible, iconic, infuential show and every time I come back to it I’m amazed at how revolutionary it was.— Miranda Burke (@drelllmburke) 11 December 2017
The original Star Trek only lasted three seasons and is one of the most influential TV shows ever made. In other words, you don't need to live long to prosper.— Thom Willis (Radio Edit) (@ManOnThe100) 12 May 2018
