DeForest Kelley is giving Doctor Who vibes here... "Quick Jim--into the Tardis! The Daleks are now using Klingon design"

This is the female's true appearance

Personally I prefer my captain’s chair to have a little room to spread out, but on the other hand there’s something to be said for a nice headrest…

Anybody in the East Coast/Mid-Atlantic area going to GalaxyCon in Richmond next month?

Robert McCall was an illustrator for Life Magazine and other publications, but is best known for being NASA’s primary artist for many years. He had a lifelong love of aviation and spaceflight, and the pre-production illustrations he made for Star Trek: The Motion Picture are marvelous.

#NoBodyTrek Energy. When Ambassador Kollos, an incorporeal being, assumed Spock’s physical form, he got to taste for a moment what it was like to be a creature of sensation. Nimoy was great in moments like this.

In The Trouble With Tribbles, Spock says it will take Cyrano Jones 17.9 years to clean up all the tribbles on the space station, which means he would've been finishing up just about in time to appear in the bar scene in Star Trek III... missed opportunity!

My curtain? Savage.

No one looked as good falling out of her chair as Nichelle Nichols: you can tell she was a trained dancer and knew how to use her body right up to her fingertips!

Starship captains learn from an early age to have fun in the snow!

If you’re in the path of the storm hang in there!

Apollo used his godlike powers to conjure a dress for Lt. Palamas; Captain Kirk on the other hand had an old bathrobe in his closet

Star Trek had a long history with NASA and the aerospace industry. Everybody knows the story of the naming of the first Space Shuttle Enterprise after the tv starship, but even during the series a number of the cast and crew visited Edwards Air Force Base. Here’s a couple familiar faces!

Disposing of redshirts killed in the line of duty was a regular occurrence on Star Trek…

Some Wisdom from The Original Series…

oh come on now

I’m in the U.S. and how we write the date is an outlier, but Happy 1701 Day nonetheless!

Rare archival Starfleet Academy photograph of Lt. Kirk. “A stack of books with legs… in his class you either think—or sink.”

Starfleet training is so hardcore you even learn how to casually fall asleep against a pile of rocks

What Type of Vacation Are You?? + Classic Lake Trip + Fun at the Beach + Urban Sightseeing + Mountain Adventure

This picture always makes me smile. Charlie X is an episode I didn’t like as a child but is one of my favorites now.

UNAIRED STAR TREK FOOTAGE!! Most people don’t know there was a lost episode where Spock attempts to mindmeld with a massive Gorn, only to be flatly rejected.

don’t trust the fads…

I was interested to learn recently (from an interview with model maker Bill George) that there was an early shuttlecraft design that was black in color with a big transparent section in the front cockpit area…

These are always fun to participate in 😊

Have a great New Year's Eve, everybody 🥳🪩🖖 Now get dressed up and go somewhere classy!

Definitely some family resemblance…

When I was a kid I used to love watching those old black-and-white westerns on tv Saturday mornings…

If you follow me, you know David Gerrold is #StarTrek royalty. He is also a mensch. And he needs help with medical bills. Read about David and some of my collecting stories related to him. And consider donating: collectingtrek.ca/2025/12/20/g...

Just taking a moment to appreciate these wonderful pictures of Tom Baker with @louisejameson.bsky.social & friends at his MBE investiture this week. How does he get *more* like the Doctor the older he gets? #TomBaker MBE - it's about time.🧣🏅

“Gentlemen—Shall we watch Jeopardy or Antiques Roadshow tonight?”

I’m sad to hear of the passing of Gil Gerard. He did a wonderful job bringing some realism to a show that was at times campy and absurd. If Buck Rogers were made today, they would hire some 23-year-old with six pack abs and an angsty disposition. Gil was perfect!

tfw when you realize everything you’re seeing is AI slop

This never gets old… ‘tis the season!

I know today is the 46th Anniversary of The Motion Picture, but yesterday was the 34th Anniversary of The Undiscovered Country. Not my favorite Star Trek movie, but it had my favorite Star Trek trailer… I was in High School when this came out and was so excited for it!

when you just really love pushing little buttons SO MUCH

I love old interviews like this, before Star Trek became hugely popular. What strikes me is that Shatner and Nimoy are both very thoughtful, but not about the same thing. Shatner is more attentive to his *performance*; Nimoy is more attentive to his *character*… 1/

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating! Hope you are able to enjoy a nice meal with friends and family this day 🦃🥧🖖🏻
