DS9 Producers: Hello, Mr Coombs, we'd like to hire you for the episode 'The Dogs of War' Jeffrey Combs: That's great. Am I playing Brunt or Weyoun? DS9 Producers: Yes. Jeffrey Combs: Do I get paid twice?

As someone that knows even less about US politics than UK politics, can someone explain to me like I'm five what impact the midterms will do if the blue wave happens. How much can it affect or restrict the sheer dumbfuckery going on in the US right now?

No idea why all the complaints about the Stranger Things series finale. I thought it was great. A real tribute to the 80s!

New episode! This week, we look at the 2005 Disney Channel movie 'Go Figure'. Joining Geoff and Violet on the ice is past guest @andywilliams250.bsky.social @violeth310.bsky.social @filmstoriespodnet.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/3cYM...

Ruin two bands by combining them: Arctic Monkees My Chemical Brothers The Beach Boyzone The Rolling Stone Temple Pilots Florence and a Drum Machine and a Trumpet (very niche!)

Here are the great seasons of #Television we discussed this year... @ncc17formula1.bsky.social joined host @bazgreenland.bsky.social to talk season 2 of #TheOrville open.spotify.com/episode/1eqw...

Have dates for CRASH Live! 2026 been announced yet? I want to see if I can get along to it next year.

So I love series like this when people find Star Trek for the first time. I want to *find* something new myself and do this kind of thing, but I think I've already found everything worth finding. Is there anything worth finding that I may not have already tried and loved/hated?

Well worth following everyone on this list if you're a new BlueSky user.

First book done!

EXPLAIN YOUR USERNAME I like Star Trek - the hero ship from which has the registry number NCC-1701. I also like Formula 1 so I combined the two in a fun way.

In memorium - those from Star Trek we have lost in 2025. January Clay Hodges (background actor, b. 1941) Mary Ann Piccard (author, b. 1937) Rex Holman (actor, b. 1935) Elizabeth Pengson (background actor, b. unknown)

How I'm walking out of 2025.

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image or GIF.

Replace one word from Star Trek with 'boobs' and make it awesome. "Mister Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hanson...We have engaged...the boobs."

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas! And a Happy Holidays too!

NEW EPISODE! Geoff is joined by @shelfnerds.bsky.social to chat about music in Star Trek. We pick out our favourite themes and incidental pieces from Star Trek's rich 60 year history. @filmstoriespodnet.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0OuV...

I had so much fun joining Jim and Joshua for this episode. I made the prime directive slightly more strict for myself but I'm happy with my top 5. TrekRanks episode 223.

Name an actor who seems to appear in EVERYTHING! Mark Sheppard

Okay so I might have forgotten to post the answers to these. They are - Lower Decks: First First Contact, and The Next Generation: The First Duty

I hate these Elf on a Shelf memes, I really do... But I made this...

Trying to work out which era was best/worst with British Christmas number ones... Streaming, LadBaby, X-Factor or Spice Girls...

Why isn't there an account on Bluesky that just posts videos and gifs of guinea pigs dammit?

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. According to US and UK box office it was this. (Internationally it was Out of Africa but I'm picking the fun one!)

Doing @trekranks.com homework today the best way possible... by continuing my LEGO Enterprise build. I'm told there are Easter Eggs inside but not found any yet. Any clues anyone?

NEW EPISODE! In a special crossover episode with the @movieversaries.bsky.social Podcast, @violeth310.bsky.social and Geoff are joined by @ianbuckley.bsky.social and Donna Jones to talk about the 1955 movie Lady and the Tramp. @filmstoriespodnet.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/7s0I...

Finally got my copy of the @theretrohour.com book. Had to do it as a PDF as I couldn't afford the physical book but looking forward to reading this. Excellent work guys.

Well it's been 10 days since I bought my PS5 and I've been enjoying some games. So far, the games I've been playing most have been The Last of Us Part 1 and Silent Hill 2. I know I'm late to the party but The Last of Us is SO GOOD!!!!! Should I also play The Last Of Us Remastered? #TheLastofUs

Apologies for the delay in giving the answers. These episodes are - DS9: Empok Nor TOS: Is There In Truth No Beauty?

Question for #StrangerThings fans that have paid a litle more attention than me. Just how much time has passed in Hawkins between season 1 and season 5? The cast are obviously so much older but are we meant to ignore it? Are they *meant* to only be five years older?

Have dates for CRASH Live! 2026 been announced yet? I want to see if I can get along to it next year.

OLD EPISODE! To get you in the mood for Starfleet Academy, go back and listen to this episode of Make It So from 2024 where @ncc17formula1.bsky.social and @bazgreenland.bsky.social talk about Sito Jaxa and 'The First Duty', our previous visit to Starfleet Academy. open.spotify.com/episode/6yWv...

Great to see that two of my podcasts get mentioned in this month's @filmstories.bsky.social Magazine. @threecirclesfs.bsky.social and @8bitbackissues.bsky.social both get a shout out in there. If you want to see what nice stuff has been written then you'll have to go buy it! @violeth310.bsky.social

It's the anniversary of two of my favourite animated episodes of Star Trek of all time.

You will be visited by three spirits.

Two more Half Treks for you. Which episodes are these shots taken exactly half-way through from? One is definitely trickier than the other...

Half Trek Which episode is this shot taken exactly half-way through from?

Erm... can someone explain what's going on with @paramountplus.com UK's DS9 season 6? Almost every episode is listed twice and sometimes out of order...

So I got thinking today about racing drivers who have been in their sports a while. Fernando Alonso has competed in over 400 Grands Prix. However, Richard Petty competed in over 1000 NASCAR races. Mario Andretti has over 400 Indycar races. Henri Pescarolo started 33 24 Hours of Le Mans. (1/2)

James was always crap at parking... #SilentHill2

BBC Breakfast News report just talking about 'Ghost Plates' - illegal number plates. The reporter said that some of the plates are printed differently, with 3D and 4D plates. Wait... 4D? She probably said it because it sounds impressive but 4D is TIME! I want a time-travelling number plate!!!

My fan theory is that Wesley Crusher and Jack Ransom knew each other as younger kids and went exploring together with two friends...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. I thought you said hard...?

Yes!!!!!! Get in Lando!!!

I'm getting more and more excited about this show. Loved seeing the Doctor getting in the action too. Glad to see that Star Trek is continuing the recent tradition of giving the bad guys ships with lots of pointy bits! See also - Shrike, Scimitar, Narada, etc...

So as someone that's been primarily an Xbox gamer for the last 20 years, I've missed out on a fair number of PlayStation exclusives. I've added Heavy Rain, Uncharted collections, Shadow of the Colossus, Detroit Become Human, The Last Of Us, Spider-Man, Silent Hill 2. Anything I'm missing?

I've joined the dark side...

It seems like there's bad news coming at me from all angles at the moment. Please restore my faith in humanity and tell me something GOOD that's happening right now.

So I've seen some completed builds already but I've been taking my time with it and today I've been working on bag number 3. No spoilers if you're still yet to build it, but is it bad that I've only just realised which part of the ship I've been working on?
