Who would've thought when Iron Man came out back in 2008 that 18 years later we would have had not one but two TV series spin-offs about the AI voice in Tony's helmet. #visionquest

Starting on First Contact Day 2024 (4/5/24) I began rewatching all of Star Trek in chronological in-universe order, including repeats for (significant) flashbacks and time travel, starting with "All Our Yesterdays" (TOS). After 2.5 years, #StarTrekDay I finished with "Calypso" (SHO).

Watch time: 898:30:00
Rewatch days: 887.00

Saw my first Star Trek movie in theaters back in 1989, and as of today I've finally seen all of the theatrically-released Trek films in theaters!

I don't envy @ryannorth.ca for shelling out $100 CAN and then having to find some way to get Captain Pike's couch from #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds in his house, unless by "envy" you mean "resentful awareness [...] joined with a desire to possess the same advantage," in which case I guess I do.

Coyote vs. Acme was a great, heartfelt movie, but it might not even make the $50m it cost Ketchup Entertainment to save the film. Opening weekend gross was $15m. Show Warner Bros. that they were wrong to try to turn this into a tax write-off. It doesn't deserve to be a bomb.

Does it bug anyone else that when people gripe about Alex Kurtzman's influence on Star Trek the things they cite most often are from the brief period *before* Kurtzman was showrunner of Discovery? Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts presumably made the decisions about the Klingons and such.

Okay, I know there have arguably been too many crossovers already, and Star Trek has gotten a little too gimmicky lately, but if @idwpublishing.com doesn't make a crossover that will involve the Enterprise fighting Mechagodzilla than what are we even doing #GodzillaVsStarTrek #Godzilla #StarTrek

I'm not going to pretend there *needs* to be a Star Trek/Star Wars crossover, but if Star Wars is now open to crossovers, the coming 10 months mark the 60th anniversary of Trek and the 50th anniversary of Wars. ew.com/star-wars-ma...

In #StarTrekDiscovery "Face the Strange" in the time right after Burnham becomes captain, they need a 32nd century holodeck. The only one one the ship was just installed in Burnham's quarters, apparently shortly after her promotion. Rank has its privileges?

Look, all I want is a Star Trek series that makes me care about its characters in 2 episodes as much as I do about the TNG cast after 178 episodes and 40 years of nostalgia and that has as many classics in one 10-episode season as TNG had in its first 70 episodes combined. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK???

@nocontexttrek1.bsky.social Hope you're doing okay and just taking a brief internet break, though I'm sure I'm not alone in being surprised we didn't have a weekend last week. Here's a freebie if you want it, and I hope it's not the reason things have been quiet.

Well @patrickhwillems.bsky.social a few months ago I went back to listen to the #KeanuPodcast episodes on Bill & Ted and you guys made some joking comment comparing it Logan that I don't precisely remember, but the general idea stuck in my head and now this exists... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gA2...

Always remember that @ryannorth.ca had dinosaurs in #StarTrek before it was cool. Or at least earlier in the time while it was cool. Also Peter Pan Records in 1979.

I'm surprised by the Paramount+ list of #StarTrek's most watched episodes. I assume one per series, but I'm still confused. E.g., "Time's Arrow, Part II" and "By Inferno's Light" (pt 2) are more watched than "Time's Arrow" and "In Purgatory's Shadow" (pt 1)? www.paramountplus.com/collections/...

Screencap of the Paramount+ Star Trek Collection "Top 10 Most Watched Episodes" list. (The page has been reformatted manually to allow all ten to be visible.)
1. "Journey to Babel" (TOS)
2. "Time's Arrow, Part 2" (TNG)
3. "New Life and New Civilizations" (SNW)
4. "By Inferno's Light" (DS9)
5. "Light and Shadows" (DSC)
6. "The Last Generation" (PIC)
7. "Drone" (VOY)
8. "Reflections" (Lower Decks)
9. "These Are the Voyages" (ENT)
10. "The Counter-Clock Incident" (TAS)

No listings for Starfleet Academy or Short Treks.

Am I the only one who keeps wondering what "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" would sound like sung by @amerrill2.bsky.social as Brak? Is it literally just because I think Brak really does wanna scream "Hello"? That's probably it, but I've wondered this surprisingly often.

Not sure if the ship Tendu from #StarTrekPicard "No Man's Land" (audio drama) and "Stargazer" (comic from @idwpublishing.com) is named after the podcast Children of Tendu, but I'm sure @josemolinatv.bsky.social and @okbjgm.bsky.social would appreciate it if that's true. @heatherantos.bsky.social ?

#StarTrekProdigy was a poor fit for Netflix. * 20 episode seasons that feel designed to be savored, not binged. * It's not laser-focused on plot. Every episode has a purpose, but it's often character or theme. * It mercilessly expects you to follow what's going on. More shows should be like this.

Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Continuing my rewatch of #StarTrekProdigy, I feel like "Last Flight of the Protostar, Part I" is up there with my favorite episodes of all of #StarTrek for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. (Not top 5, but maybe top 25?) They succeeded in making Chakotay interesting. Kudos!

(Spoilers-free version.) In a shot from "Last Flight of the Protostar, Part I", a grizzled Chakotay looks at a bone-like structure (spoilers)—the corpse of his first officer Adreek.

If the current iteration of #StarTrek does it end up wrapping up with #StarfleetAcademy season 2 and #StrangeNewWorlds season 5, it will have produced 22 seasons of shows not counting Short Treks, very Short Treks, Scouts, Khan, After Trek, or The Ready Room. There was also a streaming movie. (1/2)

Rewatching #StarTrekProdigy and it's just an absolutely gorgeous show. It stinks that #ParamountPlus isn't carrying it, so if you're a #StarTrek fan who hasn't given it a try, get the Blu-ray or digital copy. Fandango@Home/Google Play Video have seasons for $15 athome.fandango.com/content/brow...

1) #StarTrekResurgence starts on stardate 57931.4. 2) Season 2 of #StarTrekLowerDecks started after stardate 57925.4 per #StarTrekLogs 3) Boimler left the Titan on stardate 58001.2. Conclusion: Boimler is almost certainly just off-camera during the big conclusion of #StarTrekResurgence

Looking forward to the #StarTrek 60th special from @idwpublishing.com and really, really hoping there's some #StarTrekProdigy love in there. If it got missed or tied up in Nickelodeon rights or something, an announcement of that #StarTrekProdigyArtBook by @goodaaron.bsky.social would work too.

I'm a little confused on the timing of Rutherford's history in #StarTrekLowerDecks. In the series premiere he's a "new cyborg" who's had his implants for just a few weeks. In "Reflections" it's established he joined the Cerritos about a year before the show started per the stardate.(1/2)
