Merry 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: youtu.be/YoV3c5IuAVE?... @maximumfun.org #greatesttrek #startrek #friendsofdesoto #fods

38. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Thank you for your continued support of the Trek Book Club. I hope everyone has enjoyed the book discussions during 2025. Here is a short summary of TBC’s activities for the past year: 🎄⛄ ❄️ 🖖 #TrekBookClub #StarTrekFireWithFire (1/)

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 😊 #stchi

Thank 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.)

I'm 3-for-3 on getting Star Trek to come up in conversations at legal conferences the last few weeks. #winning

I always love that even with a replicator Janeway is a terrible cook. #relatable #voyager

I couldn't place the image in the center immediately, but: WARP BUBBLE. Right?

👀 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? #trekbooks #treklit #startrekpicard www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Pi...

La Madeleine in tune with the Picard/Crusher preferred breakfast options. Très bien. #picrusher

Slow Horses 🐌🐴 | tv+ #SlowHorses Trailer — Season 5

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 😬 #outlander

I'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.

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). #TrekBooks #TrekLit (1/)

"I've already checked myself for phase variance." This episode is fun. #StarTrekSNW #weddingbellblues #nospoilers

From 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.

Novelized/missing scene for "Võx" - Jack Crusher finally learns the terrifying truth of what’s behind the red door in his mind. Things fall apart. #startrekpicard archiveofourown.org/works/481316...

I love this moment where Bev sees Jean-Luc and immediately starts after him, but is stopped by Data. It's not in the script. This is an actor knowing her character and what they'd do instinctively. #StarTrekTNG

ISSUE ONE #godshot #causeandeffect #tng #frakes #greatestgen

“it’s just a ship” maybe to YOU, I absorbed it into my soul

I know the shot looks cool, but is there an in-universe reason why this scene would be so dark and look like streetlights are shining in the windows? They aren't parked beside a star like in Generations. #startrekpicard #vox

It's Tuesday and there's no new #Andor.

Things I really wanted for this scene: Picard's POV on remembering the Ten-Forward meeting with Jack, and Picard connecting Ro's words with Beverly's decision: "I wish you could look into my heart and understand…I only did what I thought was best." #startrekpicard

3. Not just a Khan rehash #Nacelles Enterprise-D in the Paulson Nebula in “The Best of Both Worlds” This shot has lived rent-free in my head since 1990

*side eye at Patrick Stewart* Sigh.

Cassian waltzing in to Coruscant to exfiltrate two of the Empire's most wanted - he really is the best of the Rebellion. #andor

(Im)patiently waiting for new book announcements from Dayton Ward or David Mack...when will S&S let them write new Picard books in the #startreklegacy era? We need new stories!! #trekbooks #treklit

Glad Wesley listened to Janeway and visited his mom at least once!! #beverlycrusher #prodigy #tng

Sweet card from Kid 3 today 🥹

Just here for fighting the Empire by using arcane rules of parliamentary procedure. #andor #bailorgana

Chicago Pope sounds like a Dick Wolf series.

If you see this post a picture of yourself from 5 years ago. (This shirt is sadly so faded now!!)

For a non-Star Wars pick (because that would be TLJ - so there is a commonality!).

May the fourth be with you

The way I need a Star Trek Legacy show so we can hear Seven say "Jack Crusher" the same way she always said "Naomi Wildman" as one single name 😅

Missing scene for "Surrender" — After Vadic’s attack on the Titan, Shaw and Jack search for survivors belowdecks. In Sickbay, Shaw is treated by his new favorite doctor—but Beverly is in a bad place herself. #startrekpicard ALT: Shaw is the best. archiveofourown.org/works/481316...

MY ALLEGIANCE IS TO THE REPUBLIC

Current #starwars ranking (1-9 + R1): ESB ROTS TLJ ROTJ R1 ANH TFA AOTC TPM . . . TROS

Another scene for "Dominion" - Jack Crusher never knew where some of his virtues came from. Picard has a few things to share with him about Beverly. #startrekpicard archiveofourown.org/works/481316...

Yes this is excellent Star Wars but also Cassian in a Star Trek jacket is something I apparently always needed. #andor

Benjamin Sisko 🤝 Mon Mothma "I can live with it. I can live with it." #andor #andorspoilers #inthepalemoonlight

Bless Rachel Hulshult for (like me) still being mad about this. 🩷

The absolute best casting for a son of Picard and Beverly. I hope he gets to return to the franchise someday.

It was an honor and a privilege to be asked to be a guest on TrekRanks again! Always the best time! Please check out the Brand New Episode and let us know your Top 5 Star Trek scenes on a bridge! 🖖
