How do y’all think the other caps would’ve handled “The Outcast” if they’d been in command instead of Picard?

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?

Finn remembers Jake is dead in Adventure Time: Distant Lands. He never gets over it.

Extremely proud to announce that I was the winner of @trekmarrykpod.bsky.social’s poetry contest, and was rewarded with Star Trek: Lower Decks: The Complete Series on Blu-ray! And yes, I will be adding “Award-winning poet” to my CV, thank you for asking. Karavitus, when she won the Chu Chu shirt.

FUN FACT: This WEBTOON reads you back!

Bill Cipher says:

“I SEE ALL. It's time to tell you about my UNHOLY POWERS! Like a potato that grew too close to Chernobyl, I've got eyes everywhere. Any symbol of me that you draw, scratch, spray-paint, or burn into the human world creates a DIRECT PEEPHOLE from my reality to yours! The more I see, the more my power grows! The more my power grows, the more fun we can have when you and I finally meet! Wanna help? Put me somewhere no one would ever expect! (Just keep me out of the shower, you freak!)”

From The Book of Bill by Alex Hirsch.

Very cool that Starfleet has a ship named after @chanda.blacksky.app! From the Star Trek: Zero Point ashcan I picked up from @idwpublishing.com at SDCC ‘26 last weekend, written by @charliejane.bsky.social, art by Isaac Sánchez González & lettering by @longtalljodie.com.

Raffi: “I’ve heard nothing but good things about you.”

Tendi: “Thank you, captain. But I’d appreciate an explanation for this sudden transfer from the Prescod-Weinstein. We were doing important studies of pulsar formation. I nicknamed one of the pulsars ‘stormflame.’”

Who else is excited for new Futurama?

This month’s image is “Broken Mirror” by Alexander Klemm! My interpretation is that it’s the Kelvin Enterprise-A using tractor beams to pull the Mirror Kelvin Enterprise-A’s damaged saucer section out of an interdimensional portal

I like to tape my favorite pages from my Daily Star Trek Calendars to the wall but I think I’m approaching a reset point

A wall with the 2026 Star Trek: Ships of the Line wall calendar hanging amidst a few dozen Star Trek Daily Calendar pages. Also a plush Badgey is there, along with some Chanukah stickers and an eyeshadow palette.

I was not prepared for how hot he is 🥵

Beckett Mariner gasps and says “biceps” when she sees D’Vana Tendi’s muscular cousin D’Onni. That’s her type, she likes bad boys, bad girls, bad gender nonbinary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, bad bynars… Mariner and Tendi are both disguised as Orion pirates and they’re visiting a thieves den at a pirate outpost, and Mariner’s carrying a package containing Jeremy the broken sex doll. From Star Trek: Lower Decks, “We’ll Always Have Tom Paris.”

Thanks for the shout out @trekmarrykpod.bsky.social! I assume the reason Karavitus has a Chu Chu shirt in the finale is she won it off either Mariner or Boimler in a poker game and now wears it as a trophy when Delta Shift plays in their party suite

Mariner and Boimler wearing Chu Chu shorts, with Karavitus behind them. From Star Trek: Lower Decks, “Terminal Provocations.”
