Overall It Doesnt Matter Much But It Does Matter To Me - Tumblr Posts

Sometimes, as a Brit, Star trek really catches me off guard with its Americanness. Like I’ll be sitting there watching it and they’ll mention they use Fahrenheit and I’m pretty sure we have a world government at this point (cause all of the other planets have world governments not individual country ones so even if it’s not explicitly mentioned I’m pretty sure the Earth will also have a world gov) so surely they’d use Celsius instead (or an entirely new made up temperature scale) as the majority of countries in the world use Celsius so wouldn’t that make more sense? Also in the Final Frontier they mention that Columbus discovered the world was round but idk if that’s an American thing or an 80s thing cause man the greeks discovered it way before him. I get that it was made in America so this is to be expected but man why was this one of the things they chose to keep?

This doesn’t stop me from absolutely adoring this series but it always makes me pause lmao.
