The amount of time I’ve spent thinking about what/whom is on the other side of Archer’s walls because of his polo ball thumping is no small amount… 💚📚😜🏊🏽‍♂️🏐

@firstflightpod.bsky.social @abbymsommer.bsky.social @shelfnerds.bsky.social @shuttlepodtwo.bsky.social Stole this from another Star Trek group I'm in 😂 #carrotcrew

Say it with me… “FLIPPING DURAS!” 😜💚🖖🏽🥕

Farewell Dr. Lucas… 🥺🖖🏽🥕

I am nearing the end of my #StarTrekEnterprise rewatch. The Andorian/Aenar trilogy freaking rocks. The Archer/Shran dynamics are so good and the Romulan marauder drone is an awesome little addition to canon that totally makes sense with their level of deceptiveness.

Fall is beautiful. 💚🍁

I just got these in the mail because @leedrawsstuff.bsky.social is amazing, and they may even be funnier upside down! The joy this will bring me… 😜💚🖖🏽

#StarTrekTNG "Total Sublimation" In an unusual first contact, Archer, Reed, and Hoshi agree to inhabit the bodies of their counterparts, but soon find their personalities changed into dark, twisted versions of themselves. Musical guest: Wheatus.

Do you like how ENT dealt with Klingons in “Affliction/Divergence”? How about the Organians in “Observer Effect” or the Aenar in their trilogy? Send @abbymsommer.bsky.social and I your thoughts by OCTOBER 16th!

@abbymsommer.bsky.social and @shelfnerds.bsky.social are sifting through the communiques Hoshi has sent us for the next Mail Bag episode! By OCTOBER 16th please share your thoughts on the episodes “Daedalus” through “Divergence” to be part of the Mail Bag episode fun! #StarTrek

“Evenin’, Subcommander” 😁😆

#TrekBeaming Day 11- Enterprise beaming In “Broken Bow”, Trip has no choice but to beam Archer out of the Suliban helix during a firefight, using the experimental, untrusted new transporter technology. @firstflightpod.bsky.social

@firstflightpod.bsky.social

I know people say the one with the whales but having someone whose kid was murdered by Klingons forgiving them at the end of 6 is a good arc.

Maybe if he had worn pants on the away mission, he wouldn't have suffered a typical redshirt fate.

Which of the TOS movies best represents HOPE? Let @abbymsommer.bsky.social and I know. DM or email us an audio message to be included in our upcoming 60th anniversary episodes on the #StarTrek movies.

Time to warp tether over and listen to the end of this great duology. Phlox and Malcolm are tested and both pass. I like this one more with each rewatch. 💚🖖🏽🥕

"Shockwave, Part I" is a great finale because of how specifically constructed it is to explore and payoff ongoing themes building over the course of the season. Scott Bakula is in top form, while the mystery and tension behind every twist and turn is very well handled. Score: 4.5/5 #TrekRewatch5

Man, this season of Strange New Worlds really does have everything! The best way to make sense of it all is to break it down into categories and go through it “TrekRanks style”. We had a really fun conversation about a really unique season of Trek! #StrongForceNeutrinos

#StarTrekENT "The Diablerie Effect" A mysterious coded transmission beckons Enterprise to set course for an uncharted star system. Reed and T’Pol arrive to the annual Trip Or Treat party wearing the same costume. Musical guest: Bobby “Boris” Pickett.

Plus, science writer @beebrookshire.bsky.social joins us to chat about the fundamental dangers of cloning, growing into adulthood in two weeks, and why southern accents probably aren't genetic

Oh UPN… (insert sigh here) 😜🥕🖖🏽
