A tremendous thank you to @arthurhattonart.bsky.social for painting me this incredible Wesley Crusher — as seen in the #StarTrekProdigy episode I wrote, “The Devourer of All Things, Pt. 2”!
I’m sure @wilwheaton.net approves.

My toddler daughter just told me that a fireman is the opposite of a snowman, and I can’t figure out why that should be wrong.

I will admit that I have never, ever enjoyed the “sloppy food review in your car” format.

Very exciting to see Fanhome’s reveal of this ship at New York Comic Con — I had a very small part in helping to design the Voyager-A for #StarTrekProdigy.
Truly a bucket list moment for me, as a lifelong Star Trek fan. 🖖

It wasn’t a dog.
It wasn’t a monkey.

“What makes a good pilot?”
So I ask you…

Thinking about a window in time when, due to 20 episode seasons of #StarTrekProdigy…
And my access to the other series as a producer…
And given I’d seen every episode of every other Star Trek show ever…
It briefly meant I’d seen more Star Trek than anyone else on Earth.

FYI:
The new COVID booster is now available at pharmacies like CVS, no questions asked.
Even under 65, you still qualify if you have at least one underlying “risk condition” like…
Asthma, depression, weight, blood pressure, etc… Many states have even looser guidelines.
Most qualify. Good luck!
