WALTER KOENIG. He was a lovely guy, and I’m fortunate I was able to meet him on three different occasions spread out over many years. He was always friendly, but, more interestingly, he was always authentic. You never got the sense that he was posing…

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?...

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

GREAT connection!

12 THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS / ARENA #Decimation 2 episodes that regularly appear on many ‘best of’ lists that both ratchet up the tension in their cold opens with away teams beaming down to settlements destroyed by an alien force

Star Trek Prodigy was insanely good, season two was very important to Trek continuity (both Picard and Voyager), and not enough people know this. #startrek

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.

Happy Beverly Crusher Day! 🎉💙✨ Fun fact: her middle name is Cheryl — chosen by StarTrek.com to honor Gates McFadden, whose first name is actually Cheryl. Love when Trek gets wholesome like this. 💙 #BeverlyCrusherDay #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #GatesMcFadden #BeverlyCrusher #Podcast

R.J. Mitte portrayed Walter Junior in Breaking Bad and was as essential to the success of Walt’s story as any other character on that show. 34 is way too young, but his contribution to the world is forever.

Avatar: Seven Havens’ first 3 episodes begin with a careful balance of character and worldbuilding that feels natural, new, and familiar. The characters are charming! I’m intrigued with the new state of the world and the nature Avatar within the context of in-universe history.

What a brilliant pick! I LOVE the scope of the Voth city ship!

#TrekBeaming Day 10- Voyager Beaming In “Distant Origin”, Voyager is captured and beamed into the massive Voth City Ship. 🦖 @shelfnerds.bsky.social

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.

BQN Podcast Collective@bqnpodcasts.bsky.social

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 ❤️

The end of “Bound” has a really nice scene between Archer, Trip, Reed, and T’Pol akin to the jokey final scenes of a TOS episode, and I’m here for it! You can tell Dom Keating is so excited to play playful.

It’s kind of wild to think that Prime Spock’s ultimate fate is to unexpectedly travel to an alternate timeline, watch Vulcan get destroyed, help preserve the Vulcan remnant, and eventually die in the alternate timeline. Just tracking his arc from “The Cage” to DSC to SNW to TOS and beyond. Wild!
