For promptmepromptly, I got the following prompt:

What tropes that came from Star Trek have resonated most with you as a viewer, possibly with examples of them in alternate medias? If that scope is too broad, feel free to pick a trope and talk my ear off about it.

It's hard for me to tell what tropes Star Trek originated, and what it just popularized. So instead, I just decided to brainstorm some elements that frequently feature in Star Trek, and which resonate with me, and talk about them. I chose two topics:

( Humanistic Renaissance men / random ship concerts )

( Characters caught between different cultures )
