In 2009, Star Trek made a miraculous comeback from the Hollywood graveyard when director J.J. Abrams resurrected the franchise with a reboot that injected a little action and sex appeal into the normally cerebral series. And now that the sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, has hit theaters and is looking to make a nice chunk of change in the process, it’s safe to say that the venerable sci-fi world that Gene Roddenberry created over 45 years ago is back for good (or until another Nemesis-level dud hits theaters).
To celebrate the fact that Kirk, Spock, and the rest of Starfleet have stepped back into the spotlight, here are 25 Star Trek GIFs to Use as Email Responses to let the whole world know what a proud Trekkie you are.
