The Enterprise-D is my favorite space ship over all, but the E is right up there for me as well. If I was going to pick an aesthetic for somewhere I was going to live in, I feel like Voyager strikes an ideal middle ground between those two designs.

If I'm being honest, being with any of them would be amazing. But I feel like Sisko might be a bit too intense for me!

Hey @mikemcmahan.bsky.social, is this supposed to be a Titan missile among the golden ships in the Titan briefing room??

I'm excited to watch! And, since you literally just mentioned this in the feature I'm watching, I want you to know that Lower Decks is definitely in my top 3 Star Trek shows. Number one is TNG, and then goes back and forth between Lower Decks and Prodigy for two and three! I need a Starbase 80 show!

What the heck?? We're literally just watching the bonus feature from LDS season 5 and I was thinking I need more of your work in my life. Had no idea you were involved in this, and have fond memories of kicking that little gnome guy between levels!

That being said, I was attending an online J.R.R. Tolkien conference this weekend. (I've had better luck building a community in that fandom, but it's always been my second love beyond Star Trek.) One night of the conference we had a breakout specifically for sci-fi fans, and it was glorious!

Nathan Hanson @nateanite.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Coming back to this now that I've finished the episode, well done! The point about building a community around Star Trek really stuck with me. Beyond my amazing wife, that's not something I've been able to do, which makes me sad.

God I miss this place! Went a couple times and got to spend an afternoon by myself there as a teenager. Didn't look as cool as you doing it though!

I will never forgive Trump's quislings for treating our allies worse than our enemies. Every one of these stunts is a betrayal. We *had* a good trade deal with Canada, it was called NAFTA. Trump replaced it with...a basically identical deal (USMCA) and now tore that up too. Infuriating.

Huh, I guess that's a bright side I can take from not being able to go. I didn't have a chance to second guess any social encounters! Hahaha

Munitions depleted. SPR run down. Naval procurement set back. Promising officers purged. That bill is going to come due. Maybe 23m Taiwanese losing their freedom to the PRC, maybe hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their lives in a war we're not ready for. The bill will come due.

Cool looking stuff there! Does that Enterprise-D look more correctly proportioned in person?

Right next to the JCPOA guys, DEI may be the most vindicated thing in America. These guys get rid of DEI and immediately *instantly* every position of authority is flooded by a wave of talentless hack mediocrities, each one more corrupt and venal than the last.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. The list of games I included is a bit arbitrary though

Nathan Hanson @nateanite.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

@alextperry.bsky.social sometime I should show you the spreadsheet I've made to track my chronological rewatches, it accounts for episodes that have time travel, and includes some of the games, and the newer books and other forms of media, like the Khan podcast. Up to 1106 entries so far!

Nathan Hanson @nateanite.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Holy crap this is amazing! Chronological order is my favorite order, so it feels like this was made just for me!

I kinda want to assume that's how you are set up every time you're on a podcast hahaha

I was there for that, and for (most) of your amazing late night lecture! Didn't make it into the painting though, to my lasting regret!

So excited for that, your episodes of the PPP are among my favorites!

Starfield had me addicted for quite a while, then all of a sudden I lost interest and haven't come back. Hoping to explore it again soon though.

Space stuff is cool. We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff. Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran. What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?

Who can't help but wish that we sent more rockets into space and fewer missiles into the ground?

Not a very original thought, but as all of the irrelevancies burn away, it really is obvious that the core of MAGA is a desperate attempt to reinforce crumbling hierarchies: power of the wealthy over the poor, men over women, whites over non-whites. Born out of seizing terror of a more equal world.

Do you have thoughts about The Atlantic in general? I subscribed after enjoying their Minnesota-related coverage.

I struggle to communicate my fury about the easing of sanctions on Russia's oil as a result of the Iran war. Unlike basically anything suggested as an objective in this fool war, containing Russia's ability to brutalize and dominate Eastern Europe *actually is* a vital US security interest.

I suppose the question here is if this will be the event that reminds the American voter that they are electing people with the awesome power to end lives and destroy countries, rather than voting for the funniest doof on a reality TV show.

Watching this week's (excellent) episode of Starfleet Academy has me wondering, how often has Star Trek had scenes with three women characters at the same time? #StarTrek

Conversations I didn't expect to hear while the kids play Minecraft: 9-year-old: "I gave you a simpler contract." 7-year-old: "The simplest of contracts."

Also well worth noting that in fact quite a lot of Americans have died to defend a multicultural economic zone. What do you think Irish immigrants mustered into the US army in the Civil War were doing? What do you think the members of 442 Regimental Combat Team - mostly Nisei - were doing?

Hey @mikemcmahan.bsky.social, wondering if you could answer a *very important* Lower Decks question my family has? Did you have any sense how long the Historical Bozeman park had been around? We were debating whether the real Zefram recorded the pre-ride video!
