Crossing the Verubin Nebula maybe? That’s the best I got at a potential play on words with Rubicon.

Wow! Surprised to see us so far apart on Vox in Excelso. I’m curious what sets it down low for you?

Did you teach Our Town when you were in the classroom? I was curious if your background as an English teacher had an impact there.

#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy season one ranks ahead of the finale:

1. Come, Let’s Away
2. Vox in Excelso
3. Series Acclimation Mil
4. Kids These Days
5. The Life of the Stars
6. Beta Test
7. Vitus Reflux
8. Ko’Zeine
9. 300th Night

In anticipation of Starfleet beating Nus Braka in the season finale of #StarfleetAcademy, I implore you all to do your very best to make “Nus Braka when the walls fell” memes. It is only right and appropriately meta in the way only #StarTrek fans could do. 🖖🏻

Same!! I had like two good days last week cold wise and then came home Wednesday to a new sinus thing that knocked me on my butt Thursday. Hadn’t taken a sick day in a few months but I’m glad I stayed home and rested because I would not have made it through a full work day.

💯

It doesn’t help I’m getting over a sinus thing and need the extra rest I lost, but I will persist.

At least spring break is only three weeks away.

Thanks for this…I hadn’t seen anything this year except for the first hour of Frankenstein (it was decent but I didn’t love it so never went back to finish). I doubt I’ll have time to watch much but it’s nice to know I have options

Totally underrated for all the reasons you stated. Some of René and Armin’s best scenes together.

Daylight savings transitions with toddlers is really something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy 😂

Not enough coffee to help me get through this Sunday.

That scene was 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 dang 👏🏻 good. The cast chemistry is sitting right there at number two for strongest selling point of this show so far (just behind the story format as number one).

“300th Night” is very much a part one and setup episode for the season finale of #StarfleetAcademy but even so, there’s lots to chew on, especially the friendship dynamics between the cadets. I quite like how Sam specifically is portrayed here given last episode’s events. Excited for the finale 🖖🏻

Porthos the beagle. Snoopy the beagle. This was inevitable.

This one's a character request from one of our Security Blanket Ensigns on Patreon - they asked for Porthos in the jumpsuit and honestly I loved drawing him this way.

Merging Paramount+ and HBO Max may have some upside for #StarTrek, which is currently locked behind the streaming service with one of the lower subscriber numbers. A bigger service with HBO/WB content will expand the exposure of Trek to more viewers. Plenty to dislike about Para/WB but not that.

Not just a great Star Trek film but a great film period.

Side note: if you exclude “Let He…”, the run starting with “Trials & Tribble-ations” to “First Contact” has a pretty high average score. A lot of top shelf in a short period.

"First Contact" is a marvel of cinematic efficiency. Perfectly constructed, balancing core #StarTrek big picture elements, brilliantly expanding on existing continuity and offering eerie horror moments, all while working as a great standalone sci-fi action film. Perfect.

Score: 5.0/5

Ok, I stand corrected. Thanks. Strange that wiki and other articles that pop up don’t mention this.

Wasn’t familiar with him but reading up, it seems like he was raised being told his absent father was of Cherokee descent, got a PhD in Native American studies, only to find out that wasn’t the case. “Lie” seems like a strong word here. I imagine finding out your whole identity is a lie is jarring.

Thank you! I always love a good recommendation. I just read Babel by R.F. Kuang which explores similar themes in an Oxford dark academia setting in the 1800s. It was a phenomenal read and is a perfect book for word nerds.

Hire Ross to write a superior #StarTrek ABCs kid’s book because the current one, which I’ve read a hundred times at this point to my kids, makes aggravating and redundant choices.

Writing out this month’s whiteboard calendar was really emotional because at the end of it, I will have a pair of three year olds on my hands 😭😭😭

How are these kids so big already? I wanna slow down time please.

Bummer! What is the official designation for ConCrud when it’s also CruiseCrud?

Oh hell yeah! At this price point, this is great. Usually their stuff is out of my range.

Definitely going to have to get one to satisfy my inner Klingon #StarTrek

I think I need to give this week’s another watch. My gut has it at 2 and Vox In Excelso at 3 but they both are really close

Honestly deserves a 2.0 on HFS because HFS they really did that and did it so well.

"Trials and Tribble-ations" is as loving a tribute to past #StarTrek as one can imagine. The attention to detail, the technical expertise and the perfectly calibrated tone all work together to create a legendarily classic episode of television. All-timer in every way.

Score: 5.0/5

Amazing how incredible the output was for such a short stretch of time. Truly in a league of his own.

I’ve been vibing with him and Simon & Garfunkel to round out this week.

😍🤯😍🤯

The Jim Croce “Photographs & Memories” Greatest Hits album heals the soul.

I am very glad I do not have to step back into a school building until March. I am so over February. This has been an incredibly long short month lol.
