We pay for the government. Every time they're evil or callous, that's your money going to fuck with people.
I don't want them to be careful or slow or cowardly, I want them to sell tickets to the trials.

Can anyone recommend what they consider the most positive, uplifting, or optimistic episode of Star Trek out there? Current events in Minnesota have me down and I could REALLY use a boost.

It is criminal that Star Trek Prodigy hasn't gotten a third season!

I love #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds, but I really wish they had brought back Cadet Sidhu from Short Treks, not to mention that engineering set!

"The Planets" by Gustav Holst really is an underappreciated musical suite.

Some of Jerry O'Connell's iconic lines from Star Trek: Lower Decks episode "Starbase 80" have become favorites of my littles. Favorites include:
"The power of stairs!"
And
"All I can smell is gel!"
@mikemcmahan.bsky.social and his team have truly given us a gift.

Hey, @mikemcmahan.bsky.social, a question that came to me while watching #StarTrek First Contact. Did you discuss, or do you have any thoughts about, whether the Lily that showed up in Lower Decks had a similar experience as we see in the film? I love the idea of her going to see Jean Luc.

Watching Fellowship of the Ring with my family: "But the hearts of men are easily corrupted." My Eight-year-old: "That's not true for you dad!" That's right y'all, according to my kid at least, I could resist the One Ring! #LordOfTheRings

Unexpected side effect of watching #StarTrekLowerDecks as a family: my eight-year-old loudly exclaiming "I want to smell those 'mones" while we're eating at Culver's.

Does anyone else wish there was a longer version of the word "no"? Sonething you could use in more serious situations, similar to when you call someone by their full name.

@rachelsholiday.bsky.social not being able to sleep meant we watched #StarTrekLowerDecks early! It was fantastic, but also:

I really wish I was better at using LinkedIn, but it feels like the whole purpose is to brag about yourself, which I'm REALLY not good at.

Radio Announcer: "It's 15 past the hour."

I did not have radio on the list of things I thought I'd have to explain to my kids!

I don't understand the youth of today, my ten-year-old told me she doesn't like The Magic School Bus because they never take "normal field trips"...
