30 years ago a whole new quadrant of stories—stories of wonder, the strange, resilience—were opened up to us with the premiere of #StarTrekVoyager!

Voyager is a vital part of the #StarTrek franchise. In 58 video essays, I argue Why Voyager! Check them out.

@abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social wish the #carrotcrew a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

In your podcast feed, you’ll find a little gift from Chris. During their coverage of season 3, they both wanted a history of the Xindi book. It’s here! Enjoy!

Wisdom from Avatar: The Last Airbender that seems universally attuned to our cultural moment.

Every time I watch “Unification, part 1,” I try to imagine the thrilling shock of seeing Spock show up on Picard’s monitor. Stewart’s face likely matches the first time viewer’s experience. I don’t think I saw this first-run. If you did, let me know how you reacted.

They really missed out on not providing a Leah Brahms to oversee construction of the LEGO D.

Finally having time to watch a new show, I report that Pluribus is very good. Compelling. Funny. Strange. Captivating. Rhea Seehorn is a treasure.

#Time2Trek Connection

Does Q bring Junior to Voyager to be parented by Janeway after “Wedding Bell Blues”? If so, I love that connection. The nonlinear arcs of the Q are full and of potential!

Just to prepare you for the level of nerdery in this fictional history, I created a poetic form for the Xindi: a six line poem of six syllables each.

"ARCHER: Then do what's right. If you don't help me, you'll be condemning your wife and child to death, because that's how this is going to end. As long as people like D'Jamat dictate what's true and what isn't, all you'll ever have is war."

A Heart Divided: The History of the Xindi Civil War was a passion project that I might return to one day. One thing is for sure, the story of the Xindi is rife with narrative opportunities which the #StarTrek franchise has yet to tap into.

#Time2Trek Gift

Daniels gives Archer the gift of a glimpse into Enterprise’s future by bringing him to the Enterprise-J. He later gives him a glimpse of his own role in the signing of the Federation charter.

What a great ship design!
Only 8 Days to Wolf 359,

A four nacelled Starship
Three lurking Warbirds
A training Constitution

Paramount handling one of their major franchises poorly again. Putting things purely behind a paywall limits the growth of its audience. www.ign.com/articles/par...
