John Orquiola

Hello (again) @bsky.app! I'm John Orquiola, senior editor focused on #StarTrek at Screen Rant. I write about Star Trek, get to talk to awesome people in Star Trek, and I like a lot of other stuff too. 🖖 Here's my slightly revised bio: screenrant.com/author/joho/

Only the Captains of the Enterprise and the Excelsior are left.

Thank you Walter Koenig for 59 years of Pavel Chekov, and to @terrymatalas.bsky.social for writing Walter's hopeful and inspiring last words in #StarTrek as President Anton Chekov. 🖖

Moon was huge when I woke up. Samsung S25 camera did a decent close up. 🌙

RIP Walter Koenig 😢

Do you agree with Connor Trinneer about certain types of #StarTrek fans? 🖖

Randy's Donuts opened in my hood. Me:

It's a new day for this character on the upswing in #TheGildedAge season 4

I remember when Scott shot himself on 90210, but I didn't remember this 😂

"Heart of Stone" launched Nog into perhaps the greatest character arc in #StarTrek: Deep Space Nine 🖖

#Landman season 3 was set up by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' surprise cameo.

They're finally gonna score!

"Look at my range!"

"The Plan? Break Starfleet's long distance transporter record by beaming my childhood puppet, Little Ricky, 30,000 kilometers into Declan Milder's quarters on the USS Whitmer, proving I'm the better engineer."* *everyone on the USS Enterprise turned into puppets

Thank you to Chris Fisher, producing director of #StarTrek: #StrangeNewWorlds for our excellent interview. Chris literally wrote the book on virtual production, The Producer's Guide to Virtual Production, and we went in depth about Strange New Worlds, with hints of season 5.

Happy 2 year anniversary to the premiere of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 at Newport Beach TV Fest 🖖 @mikemcmahan.bsky.social

#StarTrek: Deep Space Nine "In the Cards" is a wealth of memorable quotes, but real ones know this line instantly. 🖖

In July, James Sloyan died. He played several roles in Star Trek, including Dr. Mora on DS9. I didn't put together until now that his daughter is Samantha Sloyan, from Carrie and Midnight Mass.

It's spooky season 🦇 🎃

In "Heart of Stone," Before Sisko agreed to recommend Nog to Starfleet Academy, Nog gave him a ton of latinum to buy an apprenticeship. He told Sisko to keep the latinum. I think explains future things, like Sisko buying land on Bajor to build his house.

The first time I saw Tom Skerritt wasn't Alien or even Top Gun, it was when he played Evan Drake, who Rebecca Howe was in love with on Cheers. RIP 💔

It's Bram Stoker's Dracula season

#StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy season 2 introduces Rosemarie DeWitt as the First Lady of Betazed. 🖖

I began reading #Batman comics in the late 80s, and the Secret Origins below was the first time I learned about #Clayface. I never dreamed in the year of our lord 2026 there would be a movie just about Clayface, and that it would be really good.

20 years later, the first 3 seasons of Arrested Development hold up and are still sublime. I just pretend the Netflix continuation doesn't exist.

The last words Captain Sisko spoke in #StarTrek: Deep Space Nine 🖖

You're not gonna find a better #Clayface movie

About to see #Clayface. Not fully up on my Clayface lore. I recall 3 guys named Clayface. Basil Karlo, an actor, was the first. Matt Hagen was the second Clayface. Often a giant shapeshifting clay monster. Clayface III, Preston Payne, was in love with a mannequin. That's all I know about Clayface.

I went to see Clayface, and I won this men's makeup kit. I guess I have to, uh... go kill the Batman now... or something?

#Landman has felt like two shows in one for a while, and that gulf will get bigger as everyone is now working for Tommy Norris... except for...

I'll be frank: this is a lot of appreciation and love for Romeo Carere as Ocam Sadal and #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy 🖖

Serious discussions about #StarTrek on The Main Viewer today www.youtube.com/live/ocJ4GNM...

I remember Brannon Braga saying what he originally wanted for Star Trek Generations' poster was the two Enterprises fighting each other. A bit of a mismatch.

Mark your calendars to ring in some big #StarTrek anniversaries in the last three months of 2026 🖖

Find out who's leaving East 61st Street in #TheGildedAge season 4.

Tantalizing hints from Sandro Rosta, Bella Shepard, and Karim Diane about #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy's series finale, and what they could mean. 🖖

@screenrant.bsky.social exclusive: Thanks to Luke Grimes and Ash Santos for their insight on what's going on with Kayce and Andrea, and saying goodbye to Monica on #Marshals. 🐎

Robert Picardo talks to @trekmovie.bsky.social about #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy ahead of season 2 🖖

Star Trek anniversaries coming up: Star Trek: Prodigy (Oct 28) - 5 years Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Trials and Tribble-ations" (Nov 4) - 30 years Star Trek: First Contact (Nov 22) - 30 years Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Nov 26) - 40 years Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Dec 6) - 35 years

Holly Hunter is going to do double duty in #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy season 2, and it's going to be awesome 🖖

George and Bertha Russell fell apart so these couples could fly in #TheGildedAge season 4.

Very very talky remake of Ransom that hinges on tons and tons of exposition. Afflexposition.

Watched Lorne on Netflix, and try as everyone did, I'm not sure we really got to the bottom of Lorne. Maybe at this point, the enigma of Lorne *is Lorne. And he doesn't really sound like Dr. Evil the way everyone parodies him.

October 17, 2023, is the day Tony Stark died saving the universe in Avengers: Endgame. I love you 3000.

One year ago. Can't thank Liam Crowley and the cast of #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy enough for shouting me out like this. 🥹

Oh, I loved The Death of Robin Hood. It's one of my favorite films of the year.

You Can See Everything isn't playing in Manila. So I cannot, in point of fact, see everything. Hope for a quick turnaround to streaming.

Year One of 39 and counting

It took a former James Bond to play the vilest villain in #Yellowstone history 🐎

#StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy's college pranks led to an all-timer quote from Commander Lura Thok 🖖

Telling my kids this was Avengers: Endgame Encore
