Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Very glad to have been wrong about my concerns on this one. 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's tolerable at this point, but it should have been *so* much better. Imagine a Star Trek preschool show written with the quality of Bluey? Also, while I try not to lean on "Gene would have hated it" in general, he specifically objected to almost precisely this repeatedly in development of TAS. 120
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yeah, they only did that for the first ten. The "Holodeck Rescues" episodes have been more tolerable. I think this is the 14th of those. 110
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Who 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 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Glad to hear it! Honestly even if it was just a social media break I wouldn't blame you. Thanks for checking in! 020

Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026No other series in any case. I really would've thought this would have a 4K release. (The movies, including Section 31, have 4K releases.) 011
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I'd like to also watch Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond for its 30th anniversary, though that technically aired in October, and I may not have time to finish it today anyway. After that... Maybe a break from Star Trek for a while? At least until Strange New Worlds comes out Thursday. 020
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Also included: * TOS episode trailers (with original "Captain's Logs") * Star Trek Logs Instagram videos * The DS9 season 8 writer's room from the What We Left Behind documentary. * Some fan films: New Voyages/Phase II, Continues, and Of Gods and Men. * The series finale of Webster. 110
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Picard season 2 lined up with the dates the events were meant to happen in real life. Section 31 dropped at just the right time to slot into my early-24th century rewatch. And thanks to arbitrarily sticking Scouts at almost the end today's episode lined up properly. 110
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It included all official productions, including Short Treks and "Klingon Fable: The Legend of Gorath". I even included very Short Treks and Scouts with some *very* arbitrary placements. www.startrek.com/watch_video/...startrek.comKlingon Fable: The Legend of Gorath 110
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Starting 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). 110
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I'd request additional Star Trek versions, but I know he has a limited number of signs 010
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026With the slight caveat that I've never seen the theatrical cut of Khan in theaters, though I've seen the director's cut in theaters twice. I've seen both the theatrical cut and Director's Edition of The Motion Picture in theaters. 001
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Saw 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! 100
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I 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. 110
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I hope you're right, but when it opened $15m on a $70m budget, it's at least arguably bombing. Hopefully, much like the Roadrunner, it'll have powerful legs. In any case, I'll defer to @scottmendelson.bsky.social, who is far more knowledgeable about such things. bsky.app/profile/scot... 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Coyote 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. 100
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Well... This makes the Transformers apology tour both more meaningful and a little awkward. 😢 deadline.com/2026/08/pete...deadline.comPeter Cullen Dead: Voice Of Optimus Prime In 'Transformers' Was 85Peter Cullen, veteran Canadian voice actor who voiced Optimus Prime in the 'Transformers' franchise, has died. He was 85. 100
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Setting aside that bringing in writers who don't already know science fiction and Star Trek is how we ended up with talent like Michael Piller, which writers do you have in mind? To my recollection, all of the recent showrunners were existing fans. They even brought in some of the novelists to write 100
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Does 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. 020
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Okay, 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 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I'm cautiously looking forward to this, but I think I'd be looking forward to it more if it wasn't arguably the fifth gimmick/homage episode in a row, at least depending on how broadly one defines a "gimmick." (Dinosaurs, ghost story, Hangover-ish comedy, Casablanca-ish B&W film noir, puppets.) 290
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 15/08/2026@mikemcmahan.bsky.social An official government agency is posting about #StarTrekLowerDecks, and in a fun non-political way no less😆 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026It's literally noir "Errand of Mercy". I fail to see the problem. 010
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'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...ew.com‘Star Wars’ and Marvel set first-ever crossover with Kevin Smith-penned comic event‘Star Wars’ and Marvel collide in first-ever crossover.

Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 11/08/2026In #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? 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Look, 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??? 020
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Gotta hand it to a 95-year-old man who can appear at a con in Boston on Saturday and appear at a con in Las Vegas the next day 030

Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Any chance there's an official recording being uploaded by someone for this one? 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Great article. Didn't Inside Star Trek also state that Ball originally thought the show was basically about USO performers? Or am I mixing in something unsubstantiated from TATV? 100

Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Master and Commander came out late during the original run of TOS. It's possible it was an influence in later iterations like TNG, but there's also a good chance you're thinking of C.S. Forester's Hornblower novels. 120
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 27/07/2026@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. 030
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Well @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...youtube.comPreston/LoganYouTube video by Cap'n Calhoun 000
Roger McCoy @rogermccoy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Always 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. 010
