As someone who has been a Trekkie for over 50 years, welcome to the world of Star Trek. You watch the movies in whatever order you wish, the only downside is you are unfamiliar with the history of the characters. The newest 3 movies are a soft reboot of the series, meaning that they are an alternate timeline to the original. Which is why we have 2 Spocks in this movie. The older Spock is played by Leonard Nimoy, who was the original series Spock.
The original Star Trek was actually cancelled twice, after the 2nd season, but was renewed for a 3rd after a massive fan letter writing campaign, but was finally cancelled for good after the 3rd season. It was the unprecedented popularity of the original series in syndication that led to Star Wars being made and it was the unprecedented popularity of Star Wars that led to the original Star Trek movies gettting made. It was once said that Star Trek is science fiction and Star Wars is space opera.
Im still sad that discovery set the low point of the franchise.
But i like some of it, like the spore drive, the XXXII century, and even the new aesthetics
@@sanhcman666 1st season of discovery was interesting and entertaining, then it just went nuts
@@sanhcman666 Have you checked out ST New Worlds? It's in the discovery universe following the story of Captain Pike on the Enterprise. I really enjoyed it
Very well said.
@@MadCatt3r420 i do.
In fact i think its a crime 2x03 didnt earn the series a nomination for emmys, golden globe, or similar awards
Man, temporal wars are utter soulbreaking.
The only thing that may not be clear to a new watcher that starts with this movie is that Old Spock is not just some older actor - that is the original Spock. Everything you are watching is in an alternate timeline (the Kelvin timeline) based on the fact that in the “real” Star Trek timeline, Old Spock disappears through the wormhole.
Leonard Nimoy is Star Trek.
No one is more of an icon of the Star Trek universe than Spock.
Vulcans and Romulans are/were essentially the same species. They are physically much stronger than Humans, and they have strong mental powers such as mind-melding.
Long ago, Vulcans were very emotional and violent, but they adopted the philosophy of logic and shunning of emotions in order to save themselves from self-extinction.
Romulans are the Vulcans who rejected Logic and kept their passions. They left the planet to form their own culture on Romulus. The Romulan Empire is rather cruel and territorial.
Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's father was great. And William Shatner (who played the original Captain Kirk from the 60s into the 90s and has just celebrated his 93rd birthday) now calls him "Dad".
The "Kobayashi Maru" test - a no-win scenario - was designed to have cadets experience the horror of certain death. With no solution, no way to save themselves, the only thing to do was to die.
The test was a test of character: As a Starfleet officer, how will you react to certain death?
Of course, the test itself is a cheat. It was done in a simulation room, where there is no real threat of death. What the cadets experience in that simulation is NOT true fear. They know that it's just a test.
To think that Bradwar Boimler tried it 18 times

The weird part is Riverside is rolling hills, but 20 miles south of there where he's driving the stolen Corvette is flat as a pancake just like the movie.
Let me just say: Your Mad Pose is spot-on for OG Kirk's Captain's Chair pose :)
Funny thing about Olson, the skydiver who opens his parachute too late: Star Trek has spawned the term "red shirt" as a term for a character who is written to just get a name and a brief introduction whose sole purpose is to die early in the story to show the audience that the situation is dangerous. The name comes from the red uniform shirts Star Fleet subordinates usually have. When Olson dives, he is wearing a red outfit, and he only has a few minutes of screentime before he dies
Yeah, when I saw him die I was like "there goes a red shirt".
What's funny about that, though is that of the 10 gold shirts who beamed down in TOS, 5 died -- 50% mortality. Of the 13 blue shirts, 5 died, which is 38% mortality, and of the 65 red shirts who beamed down, 15 died -- 23%.
Red is actually the safest color on a percentage basis, though not on an absolute basis ;-)
When I first saw this, I knew he was going to die the second I saw the red jumpsuit!
In fact, the actor playing Olson has been on Star Trek before, he played a Cardassian in DS9. :D
Not only is that Thor but his captain is the terrorist who kidnapped Tony Stark in the first Iron Man

I see a lot of Star Wars fans arguing online about the movies, the shows, the cartoons and the books, both canon and fan-fiction junk. There's just too many things and too much of it doesn't line up to make sense any more.
You know that 'Fan' is short for Fanatic right?
Leonard Nimoy (the original Spock from the CBS TV series in the 1960's) is one of the most beloved characters from any TV show EVER. When he showed up on screen in this movie, people cheered. LOUDLY. And, when the kid climbed out of the canyon and faced the RoboCop and said "My name is James Tiberius Kirk", people cheered then too. Lots of cheering going on in this movie, but that was what it was for.
Still, there will never be greater fan-service than Leonard Nimoy singing “Bilbo Baggins”.
@@MarcosElMalo2while wearing his Spock ears in the video!
Trek was on NBC, not CBS.
So these films are actually set in their own timeline dubbed The Kelvin Timeline. An a alternate universe created when the Romulan Nero travelled to 2233 and destroyed the Federation starship U.S.S. Kelvin giving birth to a whole new timeline of events that branched off from the Prime Timeline, where everything pre Star Trek (2009) was set such as the Original Series and its films along with shows like Next Generation, Deep Space Nine etc.
The Original Star Trek series acts as inspiration for these films with Kirk, Spock, Scotty, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, Pike, and Chekov all being characters from this show we're just seeing a whole new reimagine of this characters. The older Spock we see is played by Leonard Nimoy the actor who played Spock in the original series and it's films. This older Spock is from the Prime Timeline this being the only connection to anything past Star Trek so it's very much a reboot that in universe is exampled by being an alternate universe.
I love that unbeknownst to you, your "mad pose" is the "Kirk lean!" 😂
The original TV-series shows the true brilliance of Star Trek. The Tv-series shows its true essence of an intellectual exploration of the wonders of the universe and the beings within. The stories are inspired, I'd even call many of the episodes genius. The sometimes clumsy sets and effects simply don't matter or just make it even more endearing.
"Relax cupcake."
Biss: "I would eat a cupcake." lmao
Glad you liked it, looking foreword to future reactions…..welcome aboard! I have a feeling you’ll like the earlier shows and movies too.
I love that they played the original 1960s series music at the end.
2:23 "Captain, we have visual." That's a cameo by Dr Randall Pausch, a scientist, who was suffering pancreatic cancer when he wrote "The Last Lecture", and expressed his childhood wish to play Captain Kirk. Director J. J. Abrams contacted him and said, I can't give you Kirk, but I can put you in the movie. Dr Pausch died not long after appearing in the film.
This movie was the beginning of the split between prime/kelvin timelines.
Prime being the original timeline that contains all ST created to this point.
Kelvin- with romulans invading - adjusting timeline, destroying planet Vulcan and the whole dynamic of ST.
*canon being the original timeline that contains all ST created to this point.

Don't concern yourself with purists of anything, they only try to tell you how they believe things ought to be experienced and enjoyed. They forget that perspective is a result of experience or, worse yet, they know that and attempt to create Your perspective through curating your experience for you. Enjoy these series in a way that makes sense to you, for your own enjoyment. Great reaction, I'll catchya on the next one. Enjoy the day.
Lol I used to watch Voyager and DS9. This movie blew my mind!!!
Purist or not, you should still be able to recognise good writing. This is not that.
@@MichaelJohnsonAzgardit’s still subjective
I think this was a great movie to get into Star Trek. I say that as an old long time watcher of the series and movies. The old show and movies are great, but they won't be as action oriented as this. They will have a bit deeper plots and philosophical dilemmas though.
Plus, you need to know a whole lot of Star Trek Canon.
RIP Anton Yelchin (Chekov).
And of course the great Leonard Nimoy (old / original Spock)
Hello Biss. You shouldn't stress about reacting to these movies, Star Trek fans can be a bit harsh just like Star Wars fans because they are very complex sagas with many prequels, sequels, spinoffs. but this movie is a good start for you If this is your first contact with the Star Trek mythology.
This movie is a travesty and an insult to star trek fans...its not even real star trek, its not canon, its some alternative universe garbage. This is star trek for normies.
Well said
@@goodnaturedsimpleton3533 Holy shit, get a life buddy. You remind me a little of the guy on Twitter who wanted to lecture James Hetfield about Metallica.
@@enricokramer7469 He's not wrong tho' :)
Honestly, that opening to this movie was *awesome* ... absolutely blew me away ... and then Abrahmsification occurred ...
And then, in the new TV series, the poisonous planting of the seeds of grown people, officers of Starfleet, being unable to behave better than a teenager and, oddly, having the same reactions, views and relationships as present day young, Woke, Californians.
I did indeed watch the first season all the way through, despite the deliberate face slap of a black, female (probably gay :p) Spock stand-in. Spock taught me to rise above such petty provocations and I persevered :D But there was a growing realisation of how badly written it was for the setting it was supposed to be in.
Jason Isaacs got me that far, I have to say.
Now, maybe if it wasn't called Star Trek and supposed to *be* Star Trek, the likes of STD would be okay viewing. But, having pondered on the matter and wanting so much for it to be good, it wasn't for me.
That's okay, I have the original timeline stuff, I can live without the new.
That is indeed Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's father in the beginning. It was actually his first role in an American movie; before this, he had only done TV in his native Australia, including a long-running role on a soap and a season of the Australian Dancing with the Stars. The role was originally offered to Matt Damon, but Hemsworth got it when he turned it down. It was lucky he got to shine so much in such a short time
He lucked into starring in the best cold open of any film perhaps ever.
You didn't notice that Spock's mom (Winona Ryder) is the mom on Stranger Things. I think you recognized Simon Pegg but you didn't mention that he's Hughie's dad on The Boys. That's two actors from The Boys on the Star Trek crew. BTW, the original Captain Kirk (William Shatner) just turned 93.
You did good with following everything in this movie, especially without having seen any other Star Trek movies or shows. I liked your reaction.
Just enjoy yourself and ignore the gatekeepers.
As a lifelong Star Trek fan (raised on TNG and TOS) it is perfectly okay to start off with the newer films. They are well made, well written and well acted. If you decide you want to check out the older films, I think you will find that not all of them are as good as the JJ Abrams movies but there is a level of charm and love embedded in them because the cast of the TV shows resumed their same roles in the films. They truly feel like lifelong comrades on a journey through space.
I don't find that any of the Abrams films are necessarily as good as the original Trek films. The newer timeline has maybe better effects but the plot lines have inconsistencies and are just messier. The last Kelvin movie was a literal trainwreck that rendered the Federation as ineffectual and weak. Enjoy!
Looking forward to this one Biss, may the force be with you! ❤😂
Was that a bill burr joke?
As a lifelong fan who grew up with the original series, I have no problem with you starting with the modern retelling of the story. Sure, you will miss some context and fan service here and there, but I think the new stories hold up pretty well on their own.
It's always good to see someone checking out Star Trek and it doesn't matter where you start
"BIG CHUNKY BOY!" - Quote of the day 😆
You did great, Biss! I'm a long-time Trek fan, having grown up in the 70s watching the original series in early re-runs and ALL of the movies in the theaters. I have also watched all of the newer shows. I know the opinions of the JJ Abrams remakes (a.k.a. the Kelvin timeline) vary, leaning towards critical. But in my opinion, I feel these films did justice to the original characters, especially in the casting. My favorite casting was Karl Urban as Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy. I thought he really did justice to the character. Great reaction!! 🖖 Live long and prosper.
It is very important that you be familiar with the original cannon of Star Trek in order to understand the rest of it.
31:52 - 32:26 Full explaination! Spock Prime (the name us fans gave him) shows James the future of his timeline. The timeline they're both in is called the Kelvin Timeline, named from the attack on the USS Kelvin in the beginning of the movie. In Spock Prime's timeline, James's father, George, lived. This timeline was, like I said, started when both Spock Prime and Nero were pulled into the black hole. Nero came out first, in turn starting the alternate timeline. Spock Prime went through last, years for Nero only seconds for Spock Prime. The supernova destroyed the Romulan homeworld, Romulus. All because his homeworld died, Nero made it his life's purpose to make a Romulus free of the Federation AKA mass genoside.
36:46 is my third favorite scene in the whole movie because Saturn is shown, while the viewers know this universe's Earth is in danger of being swallowed by a black hole LOL
20:52 The sound here. I can't get enough of it with the debris floating around.
I had to put this here! Sorry!
Biss, your reaction was wonderful! You get a Big Vulcan Salute! 🖖
LOL @ 29:58 "dropped him like poop." I'm going to use that phrase from now on.
Thank you for your reactions Biss🎉😊
The older Star Trek is fine. The shows, for the most part, are better than most of the older movies imo. I recommend the original Star Trek show and The Next Generation. But I dont expect you to spend the rest of your life watching Star Trek, lol😂
Biss, you have just entered the strange world of Star Trek and its obsessive fan base. 😆
I wish you great strength in dealing with their constant demands and bickering over what films and TV shows you should watch.
Please forgive their strange, alien behavior. 😆
They’re here fast too😂
A strange New world you might say😊
I love the energy and enthusiasm she brings to her reactions, she's absolutely amazing.
I'm a Trekkie - I don't have the dedication to be a Trekker (superfan/"loremaster"), but I say, I love your reactions and do not care what order you watch the movies.
I would encourage watching at least some of the original series for some real, campy 1970s history of the franchise though.
Love your reactions Biss! Especially that smug little smile when Spock said "this time not so much..."
Welcome Aboard Biss: you have just become a trekkie, and you did great with your first venture into the Star Trek series. As usual, you were very humorous and entertaining.
The man who acted in this movie as "Old Spock" is actually the original actor that played Spock in "The Original Series," which was a beautiful tribute, especially since he passed not too many years afterwards. ❤️🩹
🤣🤣🤣 Love ya Biss! Great video. You had me cracking up. Thanks for all your work.
Welcome to the Star Trek family. This franchise is awesome. Can’t wait to see you do the sequel!
Biss, there are a few MCU actors in this movie: Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk/Thor), Karl Urban (Leonard McCoy/Skurge), and Zoe Saldana (Nyota Uhura/Gamora).
You might want to watch the original Star Trek series (1966-1969). There are many reasons it retained and expanded its following over the last 50 years. Spawning multiple television series, two series of movies, and this reboot/alternative timeline. And why it remains embedded in pop culture. The Vulcan salute and "Live long and prosper" are known to many who are not Star Trek fans.
‘Rule number one: you don’t make your presence known in a setting that is like a horror corridor!’
Personally, I think that this movie is a really good start for Star Trek newbies. It's a really good introduction tot he universe and characters. Yes, it's better if you know the history of the characters and the TV show/Movies, but I still think it's great start. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your Trek journey!
7:44 What the farming states in the western US are best known for: Idaho = potatoes, Iowa = wheat, Nebraska = corn
They don’t say it here, cuz it isn’t essential to know, but the Vulcans & Romulans were the same race. When a religion of ‘pure logic, suppress emotions’ took over, the vulcans who valued emotions and feeling things deeply left for another planet. They diverged in the thousands of years since. That is why both races are SO much stronger than humans. They weren’t super strong men, they are both of a race that is just stronger in general than humans are. They both age much slower than humans do as well. Most easily live to 200.
The old Spock here is the man who played Spock in the original series & the movies they made since. If you continue watching this trilogy can I please suggest an original series episode, and one movie? Because movie 2 is linked very closely to ‘The Wrath of Khan’ the second movie of the original series, & before that, the tv episode ‘space seed’ that is where they meet Khan & explains why he is angry for the movie later. What happens in those two shows has do many easter eggs & parallels that it isn’t even funny.
Welcome aboard, bisscute😁 live long and prosper🖖 well done! Have fun with the star trek franchise😁👍
You are definitely a Trekkie now! You are getting into all the fun and humor and suspense of Star Trek 😁
You are correct. It's probably best to start with this just to test it out for the very reasons that you mentioned however Star Trek should really be watched in release order except for the cage being the first one that you should watch. Just stick with it no matter what and you will have the best svi-fi experience that there is.
You want the history of Kirk and Spock you can find it in the first series and the first 6 movies
I’m amazed at your prowess at knowing every scene before it happened.
33:29 _"Hot Fuzz_ actor?"
😄Yes. Simon Pegg. That's him.

These movies are perfect introduction to the Star Trek universe it is captivating enough to keep people's interest and you don't need to know anything. The older ones can be a little bit lore heavy they are still worth watching but this is how you get introduced
Welcome to the “STAR TREK” community. Be advised you find yourself inspired,
disappointed, and confused while being entertained. Please continue with your journey and thoughts thank you. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER 🖖🏽 ❤
Old and new movies are different, new ones are very action-packed, old ones have great stories (which are somewhat revisited in new ones). Please watch old ones as well.
That was hilarious! Actually, good job Biss. ❤🎉 Looking forward to the next one. 🤓
I like this movie,because the original series didn’t dive into the background of the characters,if you are going to watch the original series I recommend you watch space seed and then watch the wrath of khan,also the City on the edge of forever which considered the best episode of the series
What was really funny was in Thor when Thor and Jane Foster kissed you realized that Captain Kirk's father was kissing Luke Skywalker's mother.
Please watch Star Trek 2 the wrath of Khan. 1982 version its probably the best of the original movies.
I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks for uploading!

I had to subscribe to your channel. The most entertaining reaction channel I've seen in a long time. This Star Trek movie does a great job and the second movie (Star Trek Into Darkness), is based on the most famous old Star Trek movie (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) from 1982. Once you watch the new ones, you will want to watch all the old ones as well because the characters will seem like your long lost friends. Thanks again for such a good reaction to the movie.
27:59 "Okay. That- That was something I didn't... foresee."
Yeah. That caught a _lot_ of people off guard. The young lady is Nyota Uhura. She and Spock are _both_ long-standing fixtures in the canon, but this is the first effort to connect the two, romantically.
Trek fans definitely have their preferences (Im a TNG fan myself), but we usually have good respect for other preferences.
For someone who’s not into science fiction, you really did very well. You understood the story and followed along, making astute observations along the way.
Thank you, thanks for watching
I love that you're getting into trek! I could listen to you talk all day😍
Thank you, thanks for watching
This film is probably the easiest film for new viewers to watch. Star Trek is primarily a TV franchise, and the movies have traditionally been sequels to the television episodes.
For instance, the first movie from 1979 and its five sequels expect the audience to know the characters from the 1966-1969 original series, and the 1994 film Star Trek Generations and its three sequels assume that the audience is very familiar with events in the 1987-1994 Next Generation series.
The 2009 movie and its sequels are full of references that fans of the TV shows will get, but they are far more accessible to audiences who are not showing up to see their favorite heroes on the big screen. If you want to check out the earlier films, your best approach would be to watch a handful of episodes first and then move on.
Got it, yeah I was told that these newer movies are best introduction for me into the Star Trek world and if I enjoy it all, might look into the older ones
You do great reactions, don't worry. I look forward to more of these.
Thanks for the content. I really enjoy the poster and movie info at the start. Cool little addition. I'm not a huge trekkie, but I think as a franchise across all the tv shows and movies, Star Trek to me is the most reliable and consistently pretty good.
This is a good movie, but it won’t give you a very good idea about whether you will like the originals.
There have been rumors floating around for years that they've wanted to find some way for Chris Hemsworth come back, this was before he was well known in the US. In fact, I think this is one of the last things he did before he was cast as Thor.
Just being honest. I subscribed at first cuz your beauty drew me in, but I returned cuz I enjoy your movie reactions and appreciate the intelligence and heart you incorporate into your observations.
I've probably seen every episode of the original series, the next generation, deep space nine, voyager, and definitely most of the movies if not all....and I want to get into some of the newer series'. As a Star Trek fan since I was a kid I loved your reaction. Welcome aboard!
TBH you should watch TOS and the movies 1 through 6 to get the most from the JJ set but Start Trek is not so order dependent and the JJ set starts by reseting the timeline though time travel. My favorite Sci fi is Babylon Five but that it is essential to watch in release order and without missing shows because of a 5 year plus story arc. It has some time travel but it uses fixed loops and glimpses. With ST timetravel is explored with both changed and unchanged timelines even alternate universes to the point it stops making sense. Enjoy and explore more scifi but the older stuff is the best.
You are awesome being able to immediately understand what's happening with the characters and your appreciation for the quality of the cinematography, sounds and also how quickly you pick up on timelines and the intentions of the crew. I am impressed. For a first time entry into the Star Trek universe, I believe you will continue to be drawn into everything Star Trek and I can imagine you cos-playing as any of the characters.
COSPLAY! We have Star Trek Conventions happening throughout the year, in many different Countries. A LOT of "Trekkies" and "Trekkers" (there's a difference) like to dress up as their Favorite Characters and enter the "Look Alike" Contests!
WELCOME! You've just dipped your toe into a Whole New Universe!
That random kid Kirk waved to on the road after stealing the car was originally supposed to be his brother Sam who decided to leave home. That scene was deleted, so they redubbed the name Kirk screams to Johnny
Actor William Shatner played the original 'Captain James Kirk' in the 'Star Trek' series in the 60's... he reprised the role in 1979 for the first 'Star Trek' movie and it's 5 sequels... He played 'James Kirk' for the last time in 1994 for the movie 'Star Trek: Generations'... which also saw him team up w/ 'Captain Picard' of the 80's series 'Star Trek: The next generation'.
(Late) Actor Leonard Nimoy became famous for his role as 'Spock' in the 60's 'Star Trek' series... He was not happy for a long time that he was equated w/ his fictional character, but he returned to the role of 'Spock' in 1979 as well for the 'Star Trek' movie... He last played 'Spock' in the 1991 movie 'Star Trek VI: The undiscovered country'...
This 'alternate timeline' Star Trek saw actor Leonard Nimoy appear for his 2nd-to-last appearance as 'Spock' (He did a cameo as 'Spock' for the next movie - 'Star Trek: Into darkness') before Nimoy passed away in 2015... Zachary Quinto took over the role as the young 'Spock'... Chris Pine took the role as a young 'James Kirk'... young actors also replaced the 'Enterprise' crew characters from the original 'Star Trek' series.
William Shatner has so far declined to appear as 'James Kirk' again.
'Star Trek' is basically depicting the missions of the exploration Starship, the USS Enterprise on behalf of the Federation to seek out new worlds ... The Federation is the union of intergalactic planets and civilizations that coexist in relative peace... The Klingon Empire is another entity that has come in direct conflict w/ the Federation... In 'Next Generation' series, there is another race of conquerors called the 'Borg' that are at odds w/ the Federation.
The Enterprise is an exploration starship w/ only limited weaponry and shielding for defense only... They are not authorized for warfare as a battle spaceship. Numerous ships have been constructed w/ the name 'Enterprise'... The original series had one design which was used in this movie; the 'Next Generation' Enterprise had a new, sleeker design.
This movie I like very very much and it certainly can be watch as the first star trek, but I think it relies heavily on the fact that you already know who the characters are and what they have been through in the old tv-series and movie. Well it most certrainly makes it a very different experience when this is the first introduction to the franchise. But enjoy.
When Madalina swears, she becomes the female version of triumph the insult comic dog.
These newer movies are decent introductions to some basic aspects of Star Trek. However, whereas they have action every two minutes, the original franchise has more emotional depth, more philosophical discussion. Both have heroism and mind blowing moments of adventure.
Iowa is corn and idaho is potatoes
I very much enjoy your reactions Biss! 👏🏻👏🏻
I really liked Captian Pike played by Bruce Greenwood. Pike was in cannon the second captian of the Enterprise. Paramount has a show Strange New Worlds which is Captian Pike and the crew of the original Enterprise
SNW probably exists because of Greenwood. Hell of a scene stealer here.
Great reaction!!! can't wait for the next Star Trek!!!
we got a new trekkie! welcome aboard there is so many movies and series for you to explore
Thank you, looking forward to discovering more of the Star Trek Universe

Greetings Miss Biss! Welcome to one of the longest standing Sci-Fi Franchises to date... with over 50 Years of History and ardent fans! This is the first film of the J.J. Abrams Reboot series, and your reactions were precious as always! I look forward to you both continuing this series of films, and also hopefully going back to where it all started with Kirk Spock, Bones "McCoy", Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, & Scotty with the original series (which ran for 3 Seasons in the late 1960s, with an animated series considered as the 4th Season until 1975, followed by 6 modern Movies with the original cast in the late 1980s to mid 1990s)! The original series was followed by The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard, and the animated series Lower Decks (which is both hilarious and cannon) & finally Prodigy...
You have just dipped your toe into a very vast, deep, and rich lake of wondrous lore and fascinating premises! Welcome milady... hope you enjoy swimming with the many varied (and hopefully) welcoming fishes! Now you know what this old EMOJI means... Live Long and Prosper!🖖😎
