A large fruit bowl with grapes, apples, pears and oranges is seen on a table in Apollo's temple in #StarTrekTOS' "Who Mourns for Adonais?". There's this amusing moment were Kirk/Shatner non-verbally commands McCoy to move the pesky bowl away so he can properly be seen using his tricorder... ;-)

The Enterprise-D bridge we got is my favourite from all the shows, so things worked out well. But I've always found these ideas for a much more casual, democratic bridge to be very appealing. I'd still like to see something like this in a Star Trek series one day. /1

Phlox's Film Fest of Frights
Today's theme: Star Trek actors in horror movies

Now showing: Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)

#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekEnterprise
Top panel: It's movie night on the Enterprise and the crew are gathered in the mess hall to watch Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992). On screen, a young woman named Joey (Terry Farrell) is holding the cube and pointing while a priest looks on. The priest says, "Demons aren't real. They're parables, metaphors." To which Joey replies, "Then what the fuck is that?" Bottom panel: Phlox is in the audience dressed in a priest's black attire with white collar. He says, "this priest is abysmal at his job. Even I could do better. Perhaps I could talk to Starfleet about a chaplaincy..."

Tough day for Cryptic STO team. We're losing two of our most senior artists, including Hector Ortiz, who codified the look of STO's unique 25th-century Starfleet aesthetic. The other is Senior FX Artist Chris Menard, who has been on the project with me for the last 15 years. We'll miss them dearly.
An image from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Redemption": dozens of crew members of the USS Enterprise stand on either side of a corridor of the ship to say goodbye to Lt. Worf as he leaves Starfleet to fight in the Klingon Civil War.

#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekEnterprise
Top panel: It's movie night on the Enterprise and the crew have gathered in the mess hall to watch Night of the Lepus (1972). On screen is a mustachioed DeForest Kelley standing next to a seated doctor in a white coat. The doctor says, "The genetic code of every living thing is contained in each cell of that organism. We introduced defective cells into that one rabbit. It's conceivable that we could have created the seeds of a mutated species." Bottom panel: In the audience, Trip and Phlox are watching the movie. Phlox turns his head to say, "I'm glad the Captain isn't here for this movie. It might have made him nervous about the animals I keep in sick bay."

Tried my hand at another Vancian kitbash.

These are fun to make! You start by simply mixing and matching shapes in interesting ways until something works. Then as you add the little details to finish it off, bits of lore inevitably come to mind. Eventually you have something coherent. (Or not!)
Plans for a Dioscuri-class heavy frigate, a 23rd century Starfleet vessel with two saucers, one front, one aft. It is heavily armed and has large warp nacelles. The style is a mix of TOS and TMP, implying a transitional period or perhaps an economical reuse of old frames to quickly manufacture new vessels in a time of need.

Jake Sisko is sitting on a couch in his quarters, legs up on the seat. He's using his knee as a table for his writing PADD. He's holding a pen in his right hand and speaking to someone off-screen. The caption reads, "At what point do you stop watching Star Trek for entertainment, and start watching it purely for fanfic inspiration?"

sorry, i know it’s been a while since i’ve given you some space… here, hope this helps 🌌
A section of the Cat’s Paw Nebula, a local star-forming region composed of gas, dust, and young stars. 4 roughly circular areas are toward the center of the frame: a small oval toward the top left, a large circle in the top center, and 2 ovals at bottom left and right. Each circular area has a luminous blue glow, with the top center and bottom left areas the brightest. Brown-orange filaments of dust, which vary in density, surround these 4 bluish patches and stretch toward the frame’s edges. Small zones, such as to the left and right of the top-center blue circular area, appear darker and seemingly vacant of stars. At center are small, fiery red clumps scattered among the brown dust. Many small, yellow-white stars are spread across the scene, some with eight-pointed diffraction spikes that are characteristic of Webb. A few larger blue-white stars with diffraction spikes are scattered throughout, toward the top left and bottom right. In the top right corner is a bright red-orange oval. Bright stars cluster against a black background. The stars are more densely concentrated in the center of the image. The stars appear mostly white, but bright red and blue stars are also visible sprinkled throughout the image. A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright. A vast, face-on spiral galaxy that holds an inner ring of bright-blue, young stars.
