@firstflightpod.bsky.social @abbymsommer.bsky.social @shelfnerds.bsky.social @shuttlepodtwo.bsky.social Watching the '86 Transformers movie with my son & we got to the party when Hot Rod & Kup are underwater and he asks 'Can he breathe underwater?' I explain that Autobots don't need to breathe.

@firstflightpod.bsky.social Hi guys, is my Spotify just bring a d**k again, or have they lost some of your episodes?

I completed the April challenge faster than 87.1% of all learners on Duolingo!

Go home Paramount Plus. You're drunk!

@enterprisesplain.bsky.social Archer can't seem to catch a break from you guys 😊 He got flak for basically given people directions to Earth in Canamar in a bit of a naive move, and then next episode he's not trusting enough when a ship of non corporeal beings swallow his ship & take over his crew 🤣

Did one of the commentators for the BBC coverage of the London Marathon just say Scotland was Eilish McColgan's home town? Town? Scotland is not a town!

One of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In a season full of great arcs, this standalone episode still shines! Come take a listen to us chat about so many highlights plus a few giggles. Stick around for Abby fishing on the costumes from Errand of Mercy! 💚🖖🏽🥕

**🚀NEW EPISODE ALERT🚀** This week, @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social celebrate the masterful episode “Observer Effect,” one of the best offerings of Enterprise! Stick around for our chat on “Errand of Mercy” after the main episode. #StarTrek

I want a Star Trek show that centres around a Klingon Hero Ship, or shows Kahless forging the Empire. I wouldn't also mind seeing the Vulcan Time of Awakening. A series showing the Bajoran Occupation would be interesting Could we have one in the Mirror Universe? That was the best part of Disco.

We’re dropping our episode on “Observer Effect” tomorrow!

Our cohosts @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social pose questions and thoughts that lead to great discussion on @crusherconvo.com Have a listen! Thanks again @tehborg.bsky.social for the perfect picture. It’s always funny! 🍍🎂🥕🖖🏽

**🚀BONUS EPISODE ALERT🚀** @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social loved Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’s first season and recorded their initial reactions to a few of the episodes after they aired. Their thoughts on “Vitus Reflux” is out today as a bonus! Go, Laplings! Go Mugatos!

Scotland does not need Reform or Labour, who disrespect everything Scottish. We need full democracy so we can choose our path by ourselves and not have another country tell us what we can or cannot do.

All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by.

@firstflightpod.bsky.social @abbymsommer.bsky.social @shelfnerds.bsky.social @shuttlepodtwo.bsky.social Might need to arrange my next cruise on this vessel in a few years time 😉 Need to complete the set you understand...and...well, it's the Voyager 🖖 ##carrotcrew

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly pops off at Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio and their war in Iran: "The American people are poorer and less safe because of this president...We've spent billions of dollars and this president does not have a plan." Go Mark!

The desire for freedom is a force that can never be defeated forever.

@shelfnerds.bsky.social Hey Chris, random question for you. Where do you stand on the whole Janeway/Chakotay debate?

Well done Hungary! What a fantastic result!

@firstflightpod.bsky.social I don't know if the Prime Directive applies in 'A Taste of Armaggedon' They have to be post warp for us to interact with them so we're on a peer to peer relationship. They involved us so we're justified in our actions. If the Romulans attacked us we wouldn't sit idle.

**🚀BONUS EPISODE ALERT🚀** Join @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social as they discuss a thread of episodes that features stories in which characters experience compressed time. This conversation ranges from “The Inner Light” to “Fully Dilated” and it’s a ton of fun! #StarTrek

That was AWESOME!!! #artemisII

He does realise that not only can he not take the US out of NATO on a whim by himself and that he needs Senate approval, but also that he's p****d off so many countries that NATO is the only thing preventing 'less friendly' nations attacking the US & US interests. He knows right?

@abbymsommer.bsky.social Hey Abby, listened to the Daedalus podcast tonight. Don't despair! Things will get better. There are more reasons to Hope than to Fear. The reasons to hope are more numerous than you realise. They don't get mentioned as often as the bad things, but they are there. Keep going

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 news.sky.com/story/judge-...

**🚀BONUS EPISODE ALERT🚀** For March’s Trek of the Month, @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social discuss Prodigy’s “All the World’s A Stage” and TOS’s “A Taste of Armageddon” as chosen by @shuttlepodtwo.bsky.social! It’s a great Trek chat! Join us! #StarTrek

Since it’s #nokings. If you see this, drop a monarch better than Trump.

To all those attendees at the No Kings Protests over the weekend. Thank you.

Our readers have suggested other women from arts, politics and science who should be memorialised instead of Queen Elizabeth after it was announced plans were under way to erect a permanent tribute to the late monarch 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

@abbymsommer.bsky.social I couldn't find you a Kir'Shara in Etsy (great idea by the way 😊 ) but I did find this...

Our crew is on a second contact this week to revisit the Star Trek ENT episode Bounty. Along with our guest @jarrahpenguin.bsky.social, we discussed all the writhing around T'Pol had to do in this episode under Roxann Dawson's directing, and we did a deep dive into every item on Trip's bookshelf.

@abbymsommer.bsky.social Hey Abby, I've just finished listening to the end of the Kir'Shara podcast you did. I 💯 agree that civility in contemporary discourse is lacking, and it vexes me too. There isn't compromise or a middle ground now, you are either right or wrong depending on who you talk to ☹️

I said this right from the start. There are times that I hate being right all the time ☹️

Will Trump’s disapproval reach 70% this year?

@firstflightpod.bsky.social @abbymsommer.bsky.social @shelfnerds.bsky.social @shuttlepodtwo.bsky.social Following on from Chris' Vulcan Clothing book idea. Are you suggesting the patterns in Vulcans robes have some kind of significance? My mind jumped to maybe they are like Clan Tartans. Interesting

@firstflightpod.bsky.social Guys...check this out 😊 youtube.com/watch?v=BVaH...
