When I see a mention of Star Trek in non-Trek Communities

I expected an upvote to come out of his phaser there. Still having Reddit flashbacks or whatever, I guess.
EDIT: Here ya go

That's a fancy maneuver! In the air, pulls out the phasor, moves it to the right hand, all while trying not to trip on that bar. (I would faceplant)
- Do we know how many takes that took?
  
  Let's just say that his forehead was smooth when they started
  
  It’s insulting that you insinuate he needed more than 1.
- No offense because that does look like a difficult jump but the phaser was in his left hand the whole time. He does not pull it out. He then lands and takes a step before moving it to his right hand.
  Dorn is wonderful but just want the proper attribution of events here. 🖖
  
  Listen. The whole thing is a magical ballet.
  
  I can't see it until after/during his landing on my phone, I'll accept your sequence of events.
  I'd still faceplant the jump.

It's like meeting someone in an empty desert.
You go through life secretly liking Trek while everyone around you either doesn't know about the show or have heard of it and think it's some kind of nerdy thing from the past. Or they think there's something wrong with you for liking a terribly made show in their opinion.
Then you meet a stranger who likes Trek and wants to talk about it.
You jump over a railing, flail your arms in the air, and land with both feet, then with a serious look point at them ..... and ask which series do they like the most.
You have found your people
- heard of it and think it's some kind of nerdy thing from the past.
  This just happened to me on Saturday.

- Somewhat related, I was in a company Christmas party, got hot and removed my ugly sweater (for the ugly sweater competition, of course), revealing my Weyland-Yutani tee-shirt. A coworker immediately pointed at it “Ooh, Weyland-Yutani!” then grabbed his wife while pointing and they both showed me their matching Alien Xenomorph tattoos. Fun all around.
  
  That's beautiful.... great way to meet new friends
- a terribly made show
- This, but I likely miss the landing and face plant first
  
  But still get up with a broken nose to mutter ...
  ".... UHHH LUNK TREK DAR? .... " .... then pass out in embarrassment

Everyone knows about the Riker Maneuver.
But you never knew of the Worf Waltz before!
- Geordi's Epic Maneuver.
  
  Is that when you convince a hologram to fall in love with you?
- Flutter feet!!!

Might as well jump!

  Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas gas gas

Sacrificed the high ground 😔
- I'd say Tasha is the one that goofed. Worf would be better in hand to hand combat so should be in front in case it came to that while Tasha covers him from a higher position while also guarding the turbo lift.
