The USS Protostar model has arrived. @goodaaron.bsky.social

Wow, what a list for TROLLHUNTERS to be included on. Thank you, Collider!

Here’s an interview I did recently, if you like those sorts of things! www.youtube.com/live/YXwZyx9...

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it. It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance. If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

There's a TON of AMAZING Star Trek Prodigy concept art recently added to Jack Rossi's portfolio. 1/3

Macbeth: “I will not be afraid of death and bane, ‘til Birnam Forest come to Dunsinane” The Great Birnam Wood:

Do I know anyone who knows anyone who works in the upper eschelons of Google or YouTube? I’m trying to recover some old videos I made decades ago with a friend who passed away. They are trapped on a legacy YouTube account, whose password I’ve forgotten and cannot recover.

“How are you?” “Struggling to escape from the cash nexus doom spiral — whilst staring into the void of existential dread caused by the ‘double movement’ polycrisis hyperobject that threatens us all, magnified by the day.” “Can’t wait till Friday, huh”

This sort of genre cinema and practical effects I grew up with in the 1980s and 90s was something tremendously special. The handcrafted nature of creature makeup and puppetry lent a surreal authenticity to everything. I will always love it.

I remember when we were making this episode of @realgdt.bsky.social ‘s TROLLHUNTERS, we had total creative control… … until someone saw the kitchen knife fight and was terrified we’d get dinged by S&P for dangerous behavior. Thankfully, we kept it in, no one complained, and it’s rad!

The best.

My Heights? Wuthered.

I refuse to accept this.

Finally reading @greatdismal.bsky.social’s NEUROMANCER. It absolutely rules.

My daughter has a recurring nightmare about “The Bloop”, a monster that resembles a sentient blue car which comes into her room at night to steal her stuffed hamster Hammy then drives away. She says The Bloop needs a time out. The more I think about it, the more existentially horrifying it becomes.

For those who use it… I’m now also on UpScrolled! You can find me at @goodaaron or by the QR code below.

When the unusual thing you did 20 years ago becomes the movie theatre pre-roll trivia at your local cinema.

“Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.” - Terry Pratchett, “I Shall Wear Midnight”

One time I was featured on a Japanese game show. It was weird.

Whenever I speak to college students lately, most of them are excited to tell me that “they grew up watching Trollhunters.” Time certainly flies — but I’m glad our work made an impact on so many young minds!

Naturally, Gwyndala became an Ambassador for the Vau N’Akat after her service in Starfleet. Most fitting, indeed. #StarTrek #StarTrekProdigy

For those interested in screenwriting or TV storytelling, here is what a first pass at breaking an episode of STAR TREK: PRODIGY looked like. 🖖 (Yes, it’s my handwriting. Yes, I know it looks like the Zodiac killer wrote this.)

In addition to BlueSky, I will also be posting fun behind-the-scenes on Instagram! If you aren’t following me over there yet @goodaaron, give it a shot! I’ll try to make it worthwhile. 🖖 🐉 ⚔️

Happy Dragon Appreciation Day — to all who celebrate!

Have any STAR TREK fans created a complete list of every single name that appears on this memorial yet? 🖖 (And no, I’m not checking if my name is there — I’ve already been canonized in the Trek universe on the USS Protostar dedication plaque and some of the LCARS screens. Just curious!)

What’s the general consensus on #Spoilers in the Star Trek fandom regarding how long to wait after an episode to post about them? Because obviously, there’s a couple of mentions in Starfleet Academy worth noting.

Everyone knows about Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS)… but there should really be more talk about Saturn’s Giant Hexagon.

If you haven’t seen Star Trek: Prodigy yet, you can buy an entire 20 episode season for less than $10 digitally right now. 🖖

Since a few #WingsofFire fans were asking… I read the novels before I officially joined as showrunner. This past year I reread many of them during development of the TV adaptation, to refresh myself on the storyline beats, character arcs, and lore!

“Sorry about your shoulder. War wound?” “Nah. Two nights ago, I slept with my arm at a slightly different angle than usual.”

For years, I’ve used this tiny “Boss Baby” themed office supply kit DreamWorks gave me as a joke to file my taxes. Thank you, Boss Baby.

Wild this was three years ago!

“In the ocean of a billion worlds, no moment can be measured. Even the bowl of the beggar faces the heavens.” - Dogen, “Eihei Kōroku” (12th Century A.D.)

I finally caved to algorithm trends and tried the Dubai chocolate. I regret to inform society at large that it’s, in fact, delicious.

a few asked, here’s my List of Books I Read in 2025. 64 books complete, 5 currently reading. Some for work, some pleasure. Some I reread. 1-2 chapters a day. I went where curiosity took me!

Dear algorithm please send me: - Nerds - Star Trek fans 🖖 - Trollhunters fans - D&D or TTRPG fans - Sci-Fi - Fantasy - Horror - Animation enthusiasts - Film folks - TV folks - Screenwriting - Artists - Writers - The Cool Stuff

A fine Christmas haul for yours truly.

This is your annual reminder that dilithium crystals don’t power a warp drive in Star Trek! They regulate the massive energy released by a matter-antimatter reaction, created using deuterium harvested during travel. Kyber crystals, in the other hand…

Delighted to learn my six word mystery story is going to be published in ALFRED HITCHCOCK Mystery Magazine. You can read the finalists here — and pick up a copy this Spring! rmmwa.org/2024/08/31/f...

Too many fail to see the difference between “I personally don’t like that, I never needed that, or I never got that” and “no one else can have anything I don’t like, need, or that I never had.”

I love Pre-Socratic philosophy for how explosively imaginative the ideas were before formalized rules. Most histories read like, “He was known as the laughing philosopher. He believed the first men were birthed from fish, souls were made of fire and stored in soybeans, and he coined the word atom.”

RIP to genius architect Frank Gehry. I always think of him when I pass the KFC in Koreatown designed by his protégé.

For fans of @realgdt.bsky.social’s TROLLHUNTERS… I found an annoted copy of Henrik Ibsen’s PEER GYNT from when the writers room was breaking Jim’s arc, wrestling between duties of the human and troll world. Some interesting bits we mined for inspiration, especially the final season! (1/3)

Ever wondered where Fragwa's name came from? Well his secret was revealed on twitter a ways back! x.com/GoodAaron/st...

Decorated the tree. If you know, you know.

“Man was begot by mutual assistance, anger from mutual destruction. One seeks to help, the other seeks to harm. Human life rests upon kindness and concord bound together not by terror, but by love reciprocated.” - Seneca, “On Anger”, 1st Century A.D.
