@jonathanfrakes.bsky.social and Will Riker definitely know a lot about romancing a Betazoid, as Frakes told #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy's Sandro Rosta and Zoe Steiner in my @screenrant.bsky.social Exclusive. 🖖

#WutheringHeights seared itself into my brain. Visually stunning, sumptuous direction by Emerald Fennell, pantingly lusty performances by Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Charlie XCX's music was a feast. I hated the third act. Go see it on the biggest screen possible. xoxo

20th century Earth was crawling with Star Trek aliens
1930 - Spock (with Kirk)
1947 - Quark, Rom, Nog, and Odo
1957 - T'Mir, Mestral, Stron
1968 - Spock (with Kirk) again

"Quark, Rom, and Nog are the Roswell aliens" - one of the most genius pitches of all time

I had no idea there was supposed to be an Art of #StarTrekProdigy book until now. #StarTrek fans must rally and heed @goodaaron.bsky.social 's call to action to make it happen! 🖖

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it.

It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance.

If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!
That said, if they don't release a #StarTrekProdigy art book it will be a literal crime.

I mean, Jess Bush is not wrong. The way Chapel dumped Spock in #StarTrek: #StrangeNewWorlds' musical was rough. 🖖

Cirroc Lofton played Jake Sisko for the first time in 27 years in #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy. It was the right project for Cirroc's return, and his embodying adult Jake fulfills a wish that just wasn't possible in 1995.

Cirroc Lofton shared his thoughts on Star Trek's lack of proper recognition for what Avery Brooks, Captain Benjamin Sisko, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine mean to Star Trek, but #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy, Tawny Newsome, and the work of many heroes made it happen. ⚾️

#StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy updated us on Captain Sisko, Jake Sisko, and Dax, but what about Deep Space Nine, the space station, itself in the 32nd century? ⚾️

One of poorest decisions and biggest mistakes ever in Game of Thrones was Rhaenys not icinerating the entire Hightower family when she had the chance.
