New Star Trek is great! Three more months until the new Picard novel release date... 📖
#startrekpicard #startreklegacy #treklit @daytonward.bsky.social👀 Book cover up for Dayton Ward's new one and looks like it is after S3 (yes!). But... Wesley, not Jack?? And does all the splintered glass mean we're dealing with more fractured timelines like in Coda?

I am pretty sure the original Ars article is what started me as a viewer (I found it around S5 of TNG, so pretty early on). Ten years is an amazing milestone. Congrats from this FoD 🖖🏼 (And here's hoping Adam and Ben start over again on TNG.)
I was so excited for this premiere - Picard is one of the most influential fictional characters in my life. And at the time it seemed so promising. But I ended up with profoundly mixed feelings about S1 in particular. And I mainly blame SPS for that 😕
#startrekpicardHe didn't want it to be a TNG reunion, but I don't think he really understood that the ensemble made the show. I actually really liked the new cast, but S3 (which I unreservedly adore) proved it. There was just a fundamental misunderstanding of the character.
So, S1 I think was fairly good overall but left me ambivalent. S2 was an absolute mess narratively that still has some wonderful individual threads and character moments. And S3 I absolutely loved. Thank goodness for Terry Matalas.
I kind of look at S3 like Last Jedi. I would rather not have started off with Picard where he was in S1 or Luke where he was in TFA (the Litverse & Legends remain my ST/SW canon) - but given that by Kurtzman & Abrams, Matalas & Rian Johnson created amazing stories that I love.
I told 4yo he can't watch TV tonight because it's a school night, and he said, "But Mom, I really want to watch Star Trek because I sure do like Star Trek like you."
So anyway, we're watching "Pen Pals" now before bedtime. Thanks
@trekranks.comMerry Christmas!
Podcast stats for the year appropriately Trek-themed (at least my lovely kiddos couldn't mess these up like they did with my music :) TGG and Greatest Trek would jump to #1 if combined.
Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like Ben and Adam sitting in silence while sipping on Kanar.
Enjoy the TGG Captain’s Yule Log:

A really fun episode of
@trekranks.com with all the best duos. Thanks to Jim for having me back on - it was a blast! 🖖🏼
This was only my second convention, but already confirming that really the best part is meeting friends IRL I've only ever met online before. It's such a nice community. Plus other FODs - the best! 🖖🏼@greatesttrek.com
So wonderful to meet Nana Visitor! She is really sweet. Overall this convention was such a fun experience - happy I got to come 😊
#stchiThank you to
@realtoddstashwick.bsky.social for being so gracious - I was so happy to meet him again! (Also, per my kids he has the coolest table at
#stchi because he's playing classic rock.)
(This may not be a high bar to clear because "nerdy" is the order of things here rather than "cool," but nevertheless, they approved.)
I'm 3-for-3 on getting Star Trek to come up in conversations at legal conferences the last few weeks.
#winningI always love that even with a replicator Janeway is a terrible cook.
#relatable #voyagerI couldn't place the image in the center immediately, but: WARP BUBBLE. Right?

He's good at playing villains, but I like Ed Speleers better when he's not playing a sociopath. Stephen Bonnet really is a monster 😬
#outlanderI've been (mostly) watching my way through Outlander since I (mostly) read the first four books this year and one thing I appreciate is the excellent, sharp, funny episode recap writers out there who have thoughtfully organized their reviews so I can read along with them as I'm watching :)
One of my favorite things about Star Trek is when Beverly Crusher is like Jean-Luc, I know this sounds crazy but we’re all trapped inside a dog’s dream, and Picard — responsible for thousands of lives — is like, Beverly you are my best friend obviously I believe you were are making this top priority
The asymmetry in this uniform design 😬 I would constantly be trying to tug on it to even out the sides.
(I'm excited to see the Doctor. Just not loving the new uniforms.)
A PSA:
#TrekBookClub will be discussing “Star Trek SNW: Toward the Night” this weekend. If you haven’t read it yet & don’t want to see the posts, please mute @TrekBookClub &
#TrekBookClub starting the evening of July 25th (Eastern Time).

"I've already checked myself for phase variance."
This episode is fun.
#StarTrekSNW #weddingbellblues #nospoilersFrom the behind the scenes vignette on rebuilding the Enterprise-D bridge. Gates chilling with her feet up in the first officer's chair makes me laugh.
