My brother-in-law is Peter David, writer of stuff. (Seriously, that's what it says on his business card.) He's written #comics (he's best known for his 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk), movie and TV novelizations (some of his #StarTrek novels are very popular in Trek fandom), television episodes (such as #Babylon5) and movies, original novels...all kinds of, well, stuff.

I bring this up because he's been dealing with severe health issues for three years and counting and is starting to make progress in recovery just in time for Medicaid to yank his coverage. As you may know, in America, medical expenses without some kind of insurance coverage are prohibitive.

A friend has set up a GoFundMe to help pay for these medical expenses. If you can spare a few bucks, please donate. Thank you.

In happier news, it turns out that the population of humpback whales -- which #StarTrek expected would be extinct by the time of the Star Trek future -- now have a population over 100,000, and are no longer considered endangered! Hooray! Sometimes things do get better.

I'm trying to find out if Star Trek DS9 was ever audio described. Does anyone know? If so, would love a copy. I think pretty much all of the other series are, except I'm not sure about Enterprise, but I don't care for that series anyway. #StarTrek #AudioDescription #Accessibility


Happy 30th anniversary Star Trek Voyager, which premiered #OTD in 1995, as Captain Janeway and her crew began their voyage home across the Delta Quadrant! #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager


I put off watching Star Trek Prodigy until now, as it was marketed "for kids".

However, it's one of the best Trek shows overall, and they even infused the best of Star Wars into Star Trek as well. (The first two episodes already feel very Star Wars-y, but it's not just those episodes.)

It's an amazing Trek, fits in very well with other Prime universe Trek, and actually surpasses most Star Trek shows — especially of the "new" Trek.

There are 2 seasons on Netflix. Go watch.

If you begin #StarTrek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on #NewYearsEve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in our very dumb annual tradition and start 2025 off on the right hoof.


Star Trek The Next Generation, which first aired 37 years ago on this day 28th September, 1987. STTNG and the crew of the Enterprise D would go on to became a worthy successors to the original series and an integral part of the enduring legacy of Star Trek. #startrek #StarTrekTNG

top image: very happy baby on a wooden rocker. the rocker is shaped like a U.S.S. Enterprise starship from Star Trek, leaning forwards.

Bottom image: scene of the Enterprise bridge during turbulence, tilted at a sharp angle. Everybody is stumbling and falling.

The baby is rocking the ship lol.

A 22 minute Recut of 'Star Trek-The Motion Picture' set to Daft Punk's modern original score for #Tron: Legacy.


Sad news that John Trimble has died today. He and his wife Bjo organized the grassroots letter writing campaign that saved #StarTrekTOS. That led to a third season and enough episodes for the show to be syndicated.

Without their efforts, we wouldn’t have all of the amazing #StarTrek we’ve gotten ever since and that we continue to enjoy and be inspired by. RIP

🚨 R.I.P Discovery's Kenneth Mitchell!

Sadly, Kenneth’s family have released the news that the actor has passed away at the age of just 49. He had been battling ALS for the past few years. Kenneth portrayed the Klingons Kol, Kol-Sha, and Tenavik, as well as Aurellio, in #StarTrekDiscovery!

Nové díly #StarTrek Discovery už od 4.dubna, ještě musím zjistit kde to budou u nás streamovat. Těším se 🖖


TIL that in 1990, the BBC censored a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode because Data talks about the “reunification of Ireland in 2024”, discussing how terrorism is successful form of political influence.

We are 7 days away from 2024 & that episode has never aired in full in Ireland.

Hey folks, have you taken my #StarTrek survey yet? I'm planning to close it to responses in January, so there's only a few weeks left to take it and share it.

You don't need to be a huge fan to take the survey! And you can skip any question you don't like. Trying to spread this to as many diverse corners of the internet as possible. So please share it today! Many thanks. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

While I'll miss Hemmer, I'm equally excited about Carol Kane joining the crew of the Enterprise on #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds as Chief Engineer Pelia. Can't wait for the new season to start.


I interviewed Michelle Yeoh a few years ago about #StarTrekDiscovery and I mentioned offhand that I'd written an article about what seeing her use her accent on the bridge of a starship meant to me.

She stopped and said "Wait, that was YOU?"

And then proceeded to talk about how much that article had meant to HER and how it contributed to the success of the show.

I can't think about it without crying.
