NEW! We celebrate a legend this week on TrekRanks w/the “Top 5 Jeffrey Combs Moments.” No one is more revered in the #StarTrek fandom for their unique skills & broad range! (And perfect timing w/all the DS9 love right now.) Shran, Brunt, Weyoun? Take your pick!

Artwork for the 226th episode of TrekRanks featuring the "Top 5 Jeffrey Combs Moments." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an image of Combs as Tiron in "Meridian," his first Trek appearance in the upper right corner (holding a glass). IN the bottom left corner is Brunt pointing back at the viewer (from "Body Parts"), and in the bottom right corner is Weyoun trying to fake smile in "Behind the Lines." The center art is an image of the megalomaniacal computer Agimus from Lower Decks with the title words in sharp yellow: "Top 5 Jeffrey Combs Moments." As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

Kiley Rossetter now has writing credits on the following #StarTrek episodes. Impressive run!

✅Assimilation (PIC)
✅Võx (PIC)
✅Vitus Reflux (SFA)
✅Come, Let’s Away (SFA)

And in my interview with Alex Kurtzman & Noga Landau, I discovered she's the diabolical genius behind bringing back the Laplings.🖖

My #StarfleetAcademy ranks for the first six amazing episodes of S1. (Keep in mind that I think "Vox in Excelso" is exceptional.) #SFA is doing something unrivaled in Trek history.

1. Come, Let's Away🖼️
2. Series Acclimation Mil⚾
3. Vitus Reflux🥀
4. Kids These Days🌉
5. Beta Test🐋
6. Vox in Excelso💬
An image of the comic book "Tales of the Frontier" on a computer screen in the episode "Come, Let's Away" from #StarfleetAcademy. (And that unrivaled element for anyone wondering. In my opinion, these are the strongest opening six episodes for any series in the history of Star Trek. Top to bottom.) Feel free to argue with me, but TOS had Mudd's Women, I won't even mention TNG's plethora of choices beneath these six, DS9 "A Man Alone," VGR "Time and Again" and "The Cloud," and ENT "Unexpected." In the new era DSC's "Butcher" is a tough, joyless watch, STX "Runaway" is super thin, PIC's "Maps and Legends" is a filler episode stretched to make the openers a three-parter; one of SNW's least popular episodes is "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach," and Prodigy's pairing of "Dreamcatcher" and "Terror Firma" are not highly rated. Similarily, Lower Decks' "Temporal Edict" is certainly not better than top tier LDS. Obviously your mileage may vary, but I'm prepared to argue that this six episodes are the best six-episode run for any Trek series ever at the start of Season 1.

An image from "Grounded" from Star Trek: Lower Decks with Samanthan Rutherford in the center wearing a very asymmetrical shirt saying: "I mean, my shirt could be a little more asymmetrical..." To his right, is Brad Boimler, and to his left, sitting in the background at the helm of the shuttle is Tendi.

Hard to believe how much this show has accomplished in only five episodes. #StarfleetAcademy
Big cat meme: with the top half a BIG CAT in the snow and the text "All the doubters before Starfleet Academy debuted," and then a second photo with a cute little kitten in the same pose and text that says: "and now halfway through Season 1"

Just had a friend tell me, "If that was the last episode of Trek they ever make, I'd be happy." Perfect way to sum up the new episode of #StarfleetAcademy, "Series Acclimation Mil," an instant classic. 🥲🖖

Cardassia under assault in "What We Leave Behind," the final episode of Deep Space Nine. The NX-01 Enterprise firing its phasers in the classic Enterprise episode "Awakening" while orbiting the planet Vulcan (seen at the top of the screen in light red). The USS Athena doing its version of a "saucer separation" in "Vox in Excelso" from Starfleet Academy. The ship is horizontal in the image, with a light, clouded planet taking up the right side of the screen and a faint ring circling the planet. From Star Trek Beyond, the USS Enterprise is about to enter Starbase Yorktown (aka "a damn snow globe in space").

Two of the possible debate topics in #StarfleetAcademy's "Vox in Excelso" are "The preservation of controversial art and media from the 21st century" and "Mind invading ethics in information distribution - Boundaries and implications of propaganda and misinformation thoughout Earth's history".

Ocam Sadal, representing Laplings and fans of Laplings everywhere!!! #StarfleetAcademy
The Lapling mascot, front and center, getting ready to play a mean game of Calica in "Vitus Reflux." On the left is Caleb Mir (Sandro Rosta) and on the right in the foreground (slightly out of focus with his face away from the camera) is Darem Reymi (George Hawkins). #StarfleetAcademy Romeo Carere as Ocam Sadal wearing a Lapling mascot costume, but with the head removed and in his hands. From the episode "Vitus Reflux." #StarfleetAcademy The Lapling Mascot from the torso up in "Vitus Reflux." #StarfleetAcademy Everyone's busted. From left to right stand, Caleb Mir (Sandro Rosta), Genesis Lythe (Bella Shepard) and Ocam Sadal (Romeo Carere) dressed as a Lapling mascot (sans head) in "Vitus Reflux." #StarfleetAcademy

If you think #StarfleetAcademy is failing or not being received well, I don't know what to tell you. Just open your eyes! There's so much positivity & joy for this show right now that coming on social media after new episodes drop is like a totally new experience. And #SFA deserves it! It's stellar!

When we heard Dan the Automator wanted to contribute to the music on SFA, it was an instant YES. His Booksmart score is so good and personally, this was my way of making sure hip hop is still around in the 32nd century.

Next to that is an image of Archer in his quarters on his bed with his dog Porthos. Across the bottom row from left to right are images of Archer in his captain's chair, in his EV Suit, in cowboy garb (from "North Star") and looking rather pissed off with the Enterprise J in the background from "Azati Prime."
