That idea was trending on social media recently with the hashtag #StarTrekBreakUps. The hashtag invited social media users to share how to break up Star Trek style with other fans.
The result was a series of puns, references, GIFs, memes and other fun bits of fun Star Trek fandom ephemera that serve to help let your significant other know that you’re interested in boldly going on without them.
The responses span across Star Trek fandom, with references to Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and even some love for the often overlooked Star Trek: Voyager. We’ve compiled some of the standouts for every Star Trek fans enjoyment, amusement, or enlightenment.
