I feel energized by the first episodes of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy! The show makes me feel young again (and simultaneously over 400 years old)! Read my other spoiler-free thoughts over @trekcore.com:

Make sure to read @eatatquarks.bsky.social EXCELLENT no spoiler review of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy first, but after you do if you’re still looking for more SFA reaction content, I’ve got some thoughts on WeeklyTrek. blog.trekcore.com/2026/01/week...

NEW — The first classes at #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy begin next Thursday, and here’s our spoiler-free review of the upcoming season! blog.trekcore.com/2026/01/star...

My favorite reaction to this are the people who are like “I’m getting serious YA vibes from this” - wow really what could possibly have given you that idea? Your perceptions are so refined!! (This is rad by the way. Love that the show is picking a unique vibe for Star Trek) #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

My 2025 Christmas village depiction of Dickensian London is complete!

Look I hate to say this, but this project raised a LOT more money than the DS9 documentary and made BIG promises. And after 5 years it’s delivered a movie that’s not to the same standard as the DS9 documentary with a lot of farce and delays. Very disappointing.

The announcement today of a new #Stargate show that lives in the same world as previous TV shows is a dream come true and one I genuinely thought was impossible as we’ve started moving out of the Peak TV era. I cannot wait to see what’s coming.

In honor of today's news, here's a throwback to the time @alextperry.bsky.social and I went to a Stargate convention.

$250 opening bid for this screen used Voyager combadge that looks *suspiciously* like the base of Kira Nerys Playmates action figure (the little peg is for the hole on the figure’s foot so it stays standing up.) Sign me up! #StarTrek

It's got two studs on the back of each nacelle which would let you add one of those flat smooth pieces to make your very own USS Venture variant Galaxy class. Oh, just me who's interested in that? #StarTrek

I really enjoyed the #StarTrek Khan audio drama, but it never quite escapes the prequel curse. And while I adored Naveen Andrews’s Khan performance, I’m uncomfortable with what it means about rehabilitating a true tyrant. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2025/11/revi...

It’s super clearly established to be Pike’s kitchen and his place of comfort (just as it is on the ship), Batel is referred to as “admiral” meaning she maintained an active career, and you’re just seeing glimpses of the full life they live together not the whole thing.

As the crescendo of “what a travesty this is” reactions begins to grow, I will just point out that this show is for literal babies so yes it’s supposed to look very stupid to you (and to me). As does every show made for, again, actual babies. Go outside and touch grass. #StarTrek

I like #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds

#StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds hits a new ratings high for modern #StarTrek since Nielsen started tracking streaming for the week of “Shuttle to Kenfori” by slightly besting the prior week’s double bill. Probably lots of people spacing out those first two, but still hugely encouraging.

After three straight days of running around #SDCC, I was able to finally catch my breath and celebrate all the amazing #StarTrek news coming out of Comic-Con on the latest WeeklyTrek podcast w/ @alextperry.bsky.social. Great fun was had by all (then I returned to my "Adventure Hour" spaceship). #SNW

#FantasticFour  is a #StarTrek movie and I LOVED it. The character dynamics sizzle, there’s a lot more outer space than the trailers have shown, the midcentury modern production design and most importantly the hope and optimism for a better future. Shakman did make his Star Trek, just for Marvel.

This is a clear sign that there must be some very serious financial challenges at Paramount+ when #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds - a verifiably popular show according to industry data - can't make it to 50 episodes. Very disappointing, and creates a big question mark about the future of #StarTrek.

Beyond his impressive run in the #StarTrek comics world, Peter David authored of some of the most memorable #StarTrek tie-in novels — the legendary IMZADI, the extraordinary Q-SQUARED, plus VENDETTA, Q-IN-LAW, and the entire NEW FRONTIER series. A great loss - RIP indeed.

My friends, we’ve come home. #StarTrek

Go see #Thunderbolts! It’s fun, funny, thoughtful, and emotional. It has something to say, and it’s either a nice sequel to Black Widow and Falcon & Winter Soldier OR an introduction to some of your new favorite MCU characters - you choose. I’m very happy with it!

#StarTrek First Contact does a great job of making you wait to see the Borg invading the Enterprise. There are 3-4 scenes on the ship about the Borg before you even see them - when Picard mounts his first counteroffensive. Ratchets the tension and has a big payoff.

Today’s completed #StarTrek model - the USS Stargazer. 1:1400 scale, kit, base and decals by Horner Shipyards.

I’m all for a thoughtful media rollout, but the lack of a premiere date for a season whose last episode was almost two years ago is a little nuts. #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds

#StarTrek Section 31 fell off the Nielsen Top 10 this week. The number 10 entry this week was watched for 140m minutes, so S31 was watched *at most* 309m minutes in its first 9 days (but we don’t know the exact number). For comparison, here are how other Trek episodes have charted for their week…

It’s not possible to assess the ratings popularity of #StarTrek Section 31 until Thursday - it charted in the Nielsen top 10 movies, but was only out for a couple of days in the period and its numbers are much lower than the next lowest episode to have charted. Must see if it shows up this week.

If you are interested in the Master Replicas #StarTrek action figure line, Ben Robinson and I chatted for a while about it and MR’s plans. blog.trekcore.com/2025/02/week...

I really enjoyed #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld, a movie that had a lot of character moments I really appreciated, a simple but engaging story, a little politics, and a great performance from Anthony Mackie. For a big MCU fan, it was what I wanted. Not perfect, but a lot of fun.

Consistently my least favorite day on #StarTrek merchandise social media is new action figure announcement day. Even using a Time Machine to get 1990s Playmates to make more characters and selling them at the same price would have people bitching and moaning. It’s so tiresome.

One last thought on Section 31, and then I hope I never have to think of that dreadful slog of a movie again I hope the lesson Paramount takes is that the streaming movie model isn’t the problem. It can be successful. Do it again, but with people who understand what good Star Trek storytelling is

I expanded on my thoughts from yesterday’s review about #StarTrekSection31 in a rare solo outing, responding to some of the commentary, talking in more detail about why the movie didn’t work for me, and why it’s ultimately all okay. blog.trekcore.com/2025/01/week...

I really wanted to like #StarTrekSection31, and it hurts that I didn’t. The movie is what you see in the trailers. There isn’t really anything held back. If the trailers work for you, so will the movie. If not… Anyway here’s my spoiler free review: blog.trekcore.com/2025/01/star...

Re-screencapping DS9, and boy to see how badly the red levels were off in our old gallery uploads! Old (left) vs New (right) #StarTrek

Cry havoc! @exo-6.bsky.social launches preorders for their General Chang #StarTrek action figure, from STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. More info: exo-6.com/collections/...

My fav moment in Rascals is when kid Picard decides to take command while the Ferengi are attacking the Enterprise but thoughtfully closes his book before leaving his quarters symbolically closing the book on his archeological future and committing to Starfleet. It’s ridiculous. LOVE IT #StarTrek

Top 5 FUCK YEAH Moments. #StarTrek @trekranks.bsky.social

People criticize the Picard/Data relationship in the 1st season of #StarTrekPicard as being overly close given the evidence from TNG, and while Data WAS much closer to Geordi, it’s clear they had an out of work relationship - here is Picard teaching Data Shakespeare. #StarTrek
