What an end to one of the BEST Trek stories. SO much to say about this episode & trilogy. Also, here's a preview of both my Flippin' Duras pick AND Soval's possible snazziest outfit ever. Come take a listen & hang with Vulcans, Andorians and humans (oh my)... Plus those sneaky Romulans!

**πŸš€NEW EPISODE ALERTπŸš€**

This week, @abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social wrap up the incredible Vulcan trilogy and discuss the impacts of this 3-part story on the #StarTrek universe.

Also, someone needs to make a Kir’Shara for purchase!

Coloring time with the kids and here’s my two pieces. Coloring is relaxing. It was nice to share this time with the kiddos.

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.

That’s a deep cut I wasn’t even aware of! Awesome!

That’s what we all want that would gut the episode’s punch. It’s a rare moment of nihilism in Trek. I respect it for that even if it makes it almost unbearable to watch regularly.

One of the most brutal episodes of #StarTrek. It’s very well done, but hard to watch.

Super creepy!

Loved this! πŸ’™πŸ––πŸŽ΅
*Interludes* is a wonderful new series in the First Flight catalog. If you love Star Trek music and want to hear beautiful tracks and thoughtful analyses, check out this new bonus episode from Abby and Chris!

Those are so tough. Hopefully you can nap and then sink into some Trek!

"Should is a futile word. It’s about what didn’t happen. It belongs in a parallel universe. It belongs in another dimension of space."

March's #StarTrek prompts (created by @shelfnerds.bsky.social) are all about parallels in Trek. Use the tag #ParallelTreks and play along with each day's prompt.

Stargate is so special in part because it’s set in the β€œpresent” so we can get exchanges like this about Star Trek with John Billingsley! 🀣

Thank you @shelfnerds.bsky.social for hosting February's Trek #NoBodyTrek discussion prompts. For March, we will focus on #ParallelTreks, discussing parallels and alternates in the franchise. Please join in the discussion if you can. πŸ––

I love this episode.

β€œHow can you count yourself a scientist and not worship at the alter of Roddenberry!?”

I recommend all of Miyazaki’s films, starting with My Neighbor Totoro. Pure joy.

That’s the exact screenshot I used to design the prompt. Love me a good Geordi-Data PowerPoint!
