It's only logical.
It's popular, very memeable, has a long history, and most importantly: there's 2-3 series of it running right now. So it's topical and being engaged with.

You do understand the entire structure of this Network is based on Star Trek, right?

Because that community decided to leave and start a place here when things blew up. Other communities didn't. They're active, so people hang out there. There's a fairly low barrier to entry for new folks to participate (a lot of people have watched some Star Trek).
Really, having an active community say, we're leaving and setting up shop here goes a long way. I wish my niche subreddit had done so as well.
