It’s one week until the official launch of Warp Factor 5: A #StarTrek Rewatch Podcast featuring the first 5 episodes of Enterprise season 1. Join me? Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/033ikD1... YouTube: youtube.com/@warpfactor5...

I had some thoughts about what the news about Amazon canceling the new #Stargate show means for #StarTrek. You’ll either hear thoughtful commentary on the state of legacy franchises with a built in fanbase or the start of my midlife crisis. Let me know which it is: open.spotify.com/episode/1Qe3...

It feels like there’s a real vibe shift happening at the studios around established IP with existing fanbases. As the return on these franchises have lost a lot of steam, and original content is getting more successful, I expect to see more of this. www.gateworld.net/news/2026/06...

VERY stupid and VERY sloppy, and clearly a rush to use AI tools that the user has no real conception of how to get value from. Are there any #StarTrek fans left working at P+? So many great moments that fit the "character faces are appealing when deciding what to select to watch next" algorithm.

🚨 NEW PODCAST! I am excited to be launching a second #StarTrek podcast, WARP FACTOR 5. Every 2 weeks, a guest and I will rate and discuss the next FIVE episodes of Star Trek - in universe chronological order! We begin with Enterprise season 1 on 6/18 - join me? blog.trekcore.com/2026/05/intr...

I really enjoyed @daytonward.bsky.social’s “To Defy Fate,” the first #StarTrek novel in years that made me feel the same joy I felt during the height of Trek publishing and its novelverse. I’m hopeful this is the start of a trend as Trek TV slows down. blog.trekcore.com/2026/05/star...

If you look at any #StarTrek show and your takeaway is that the writers and creators are trying to send you some kind of subliminal Nazi, fascist, or right wing messaging then I really don’t know what to tell you other than: I think you’re spending too much time online.

For the last 11 months I’ve been running a #StarTrekAdventures campaign with 6 wonderful friends and today we ended our 1st season. The premise for the story is the USS Dauntless (from Prodigy) is sent back to the Delta Quadrant to find the fate of the Borg. Here’s the synopses for season 1’s eps:

Thank you @alextperry.bsky.social for inviting me to chat Star Trek with you. It was fun episode discussing the SNW trailer, conventions, reference books and other aspects of the franchise. Thanks again! 🖖

I have really been enjoying @alextperry.bsky.social’s weekly look at Trek through a “news” lens. I always learn something new and I’m always impressed with his encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise in all its forms! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🖖

NEW — The latest WeeklyTrek podcast is here! This week: Andy Weir apologies to #StarTrek head Alex Kurtzman, Nacelle unveils their newest Original Series action figure and accessories, and more! blog.trekcore.com/2026/04/week...

Nothing can stop us from celebrating the fantastic first season of Starfleet Academy! I was so lucky to get to stay after class and gush about this special season of Trek with my fellow cadets on TrekRanks!

This is a message I never expected to or wanted to share. My partner @joehunter.bsky.social is currently in the hospital with a severe case of pneumonia, and while he is slowly on the mend, that time means a lot of money his family could use help with. Anything you can offer is deeply appreciated.

Wow Amazon are really going all out on the new #Stargate series.

A really shortsighted decision from Paramount. For all the talk of energy and prioritization of #StarTrek, it’s pretty clear the corporation has no clear strategy for the franchise and its future. Very disappointing to be having ANOTHER cancelation conversation. SFA deserved better than this.

Brian and I had a great conversation about Nacelle’s #StarTrek action figures as Wave 1 continues delivering to customers who pre-ordered. We talked the delay in shipping and what they’ve learned for wave 2, the TOS bridge, and future waves. LOTS of teases! blog.trekcore.com/2026/03/week...

While I didn’t love episodes 7-9 of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy as much as the 1-6, I really enjoyed the season finale “Rubincon.” IMO the Kurtzman-era has struggled with finales, but SFA delivers a barnstormer that gave almost every character something important to do and made for a riveting climax.

Merging Paramount+ and HBO Max may have some upside for #StarTrek, which is currently locked behind the streaming service with one of the lower subscriber numbers. A bigger service with HBO/WB content will expand the exposure of Trek to more viewers. Plenty to dislike about Para/WB but not that.

This is a good moment for personal reflection given everything that's been said on this topic in the last week. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

Who’s playing the new #StarTrek Voyager game Across the Unknown? Is it any good?

“Why are they wearing TOS uniforms?” They’re…clearly not? No rank on the sleeves, the glint off the delta means it’s a badge. Why is it not possible that these Starfleet uniforms took inspiration from the 23rd century? And why is everyone’s media literacy SO BAD??? #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

“Come, Let’s Away” but stay for the absolutely crackling scenes between two of #StarTrek’s most talented performers - Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. The pilot’s “origami chicken” scene is a C+ compared to the A++ of dialogue and performances in this episode. MORE PLEASE. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

Kerrice Brooks makes the most interesting and compelling acting choices as Sam in “Series Acclimation Mil” that makes this episode so rewatchable. I’ve seen it four times already and every time I’m catching some new line reading, look, or gesture that enthralls me. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

A small lagoon therein.

I’ve been doing a #Stargate SG-1 rewatch (currently in season 5) and going back to this show after Trump, Venezuela, Greenland, tariffs etc it’s comforting and a little jarring to watch the US military exploring the galaxy and being fundamentally good and ethical.

“Vox in Excelso” is a real gem and the first #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy episode where I said to myself: I think I might love this show? This is, in my opinion, the best Klingon episode since DS9 and the high stakes drama totally works in the context of a grounded character episode. A+ world building.

It’s never too early to start planning what ornaments you want on next year’s Christmas tree. #StarTrek

How you feel about Captain Ake’s posture makes a strong statement about how socially well adjusted you are. Those who live in the real world with actual people know it doesn’t fucking matter how you sit in a chair; it matters how you lead, how you teach, and how you lift people up. #StarfleetAcademy

You know the problem with modern #StarTrek? Old Star Trek would NEVER have thought to show one of its characters show a serious character flaw because of something as silly as a sports game and use that to show growth and have to learn to be a better person. SMH.

#StarTrek would NEVER show its officers engaging in unbecoming trash talking 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 So unprofessional. 🙄

Should have made one of those #StarTrek movies they keep talking about.

If you’re feeling sad, stressed and pissed off, can confirm this slaps HARD. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy open.spotify.com/track/4CHXYj...

I remember when certain people lost their minds over this Enterprise promo because it used a modern song and had a sexy butterfly lady. Enterprise may or may not be your fav, but the idea that it’s “not real Star Trek” is LAUGHABLE. Same with SFA! #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy youtu.be/5yxGAtiG224?...

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.
