Let's talk about the junior officer's quarters set on #StarTrekTNG, redesigned from scratch for seasons 5-7. It's the name of the set, even though Worf, Data and Geordi are senior officers. As can be seen in the set plan, the new set now is connected to the main corridor set through three doors. 1/9

While this is not a beloved episode, there are nuggets of good to mine. Plus another epic table of food to share- it IS Enterprise after all. Come take a listen and reframe this one a bit. 💚🖖🏽🥕
🚀🖖*NEW EPISODE ALERT*🖖🚀 @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social return to watch the Enterprise bring it back to “The Cage” with Orion slave women, but—wait a minute—the women aren’t slaves at all! The Orion reframing plus some great character development is up next! #StarTrek

Michael is 100% right. The newness of the 32nd century is invigorating, and I’m sad this sandbox will not be fully played in after Academy’s 2nd season.
The 32nd Century. Right from the off this is fresh & new. The 24th Century will always be there, but we can also welcome the shock of a whole new time to play in! - one which perfectly expresses the themes of rebuilding & reconnection at the heart of the whole show. youtu.be/5YEKVwww02s?...
What a fantastic commercial on reading!

Jörg’s contribution to #StarTrek fandom (and actual Trek production) is unmatched and is worthy of respect and positive engagement.
No, I'm not in a penalty box. I just figured it's time again for me to explain what I am doing here, especially for the next four months or so until we get new weekly #StarTrek episodes in the spring of 2027. It seems people sometimes don't understand why/how I'm doing this. So, here it goes! 1/10

Replying to @shelfnerds.bsky.social
“An overture has been made to me—in secret—by a—political representative of one of the Federation’s enemies.” “And logic can neither confirm nor reject the veracity of this individual,” T’Pring says. “The very nature of this overture implies the necessity for secrecy on their part—”

TNG, VOY, and ENT—all memorable roles.
We are sad to hear that prolific character actor Richard Riehle has died at the age of 78. He played Batai in Next Gen's "The Inner Light," Seamus in the two Fair Haven episodes of Voyager, and Jeremy Lucas on Enterprise. Our deepest condolences to his friends and family.

🚀🖖*EPISODE ALERT*🖖🚀 This week, @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social celebrate Phlox as he stands up to Klingon bullies while saving their lives. Also, Malcolm Reed is good at his job. And don’t forget about the Trip tether task! There’s a lot of greatness in “Divergence”! Let’s go!
To honor Laz Marquez’s life, here are some of his beautiful pieces for Star Trek: Discovery. I always looked forward to see how he’d capture each episode.
It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of Laz Marquez. He was a talented artist and former host on this network. We think he’d appreciate this quote from one of his hero’s: “If I’m going to be a caged bird, I’ll sing the best song I can.” – Wes Craven RIP Laz ❤️
