.... in commemoration of the four-hundred sixth anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, but it's also my b-day.So I've got a Star Trek day for a b-day.
Let's engage at high warp to celebrate this Friday! 🖖 Make it so. Engage! Tea, Earl Grey, decaf, PIPING hot!
When the original U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701) was given a parody-tribute in a 1995 Veggie Tales episode as the U.S.S. Applepies?
Having watched episodes of that sweet show in early childhood, I realize now that that was my very first exposure to anything from Star Trek, even if in tribute parody fashion, and I didn't even realize it back then.

I know that a staple of Star Trek has always been how similar most of the aliens look to humans, and I know that they still keep that tradition alive today, but would you say that, in more modern media like "Resurgence", we're getting more unique aliens that don't look quite as human? I ask because I find the Allydians and Hotari distinctly non-humanoid for some reason
Currently I am re-watching/having on as “background music”:
ENT on Mondays (mid S3, Jonathan Archer just made an alliance with Gralik Durr), TOS on Tuesdays (James Kirk just survived a stoning on an obelisk, alas, Miramonee & their unborn child did not), TNG on Wednesdays (“Arsenal of Freedom” up next), DS9 on Thursdays (has anyone seen Fenna?), and VOY on Fridays (last was the remarkable James Sloyan as Jetrel).
How are you watching ‘STAR TREK’?
Here's the YouTube playlist of all the Star Trek episodes that have been made available to watch for free! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfpV2bmlzOAp0HL7X5B-wmny7WiLVDWH&si=N0IOi54-xOJM7x7l
May we all continue to boldly go where no one has gone before....
Let's see Kirk go up against Ethan Hunt from the Mission: Impossible film series in a rock-climbing competition! Semi-lol. Anyway, part of Bill Shatner's Q and A session in the GalaxyCon last Sunday was a showing of The Final Frontier, coupled with commentary from the man. I didn't stick around for that, so I'm watching the film right now. It may be the weakest Star Trek film, and given its themes and commentary, I stand by that as both a Trekker and a Christian first and foremost, but sometimes, one can find oneself in a "What the heck?" kind of situation.
When I was growing up in the late 1970s & early 1980s, as a kid & into my early teens, a local TV station would invariably run a STAR TREK marathon on the 4th of July (TOS only, No TAS, and the rest hadn’t yet come around {though Phase II was in the works, then TMP, but that’s another story}).
No matter what else I was doing (the neighbor would oft have a pool party), I always made sure to be home on time to watch the entire marathon.
I just thought I would share this 4th of July STAR TREK memory with you all. Today I will stream TOS for hours, but mainly as “background music”, as I don’t have hours for viewing.
But for now, if you will excuse me, I will go watch “The Omega Glory”, the best day of the year for this episode, in my opinion!
What are the most boring star trek episodes, and why? What would you change about them to make them better?

Are the jem'hadar the best soldiers in star trek? What other species make the best soldiers, and why?
"Obedience brings victory, and victory is life."
"I am first omet'iklan, and I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are jem'hadar. Remember, victory is life."
You know how it's said that it takes two to tango? Well, in a Star Trek context, it takes two to do the Picard-four-seven-Alpha-Tango!

My old TV, about a dozen years old, emulated a Red Shirt & did die. Yesterday I set my my new streaming television device. Once it was set up the first thing I streamed, to make sure it was working properly, was…
”The City On the Edge of Forever”.
How else are you supposed to break in a new TV?
