To promote the very idea of #StarTrekLegacy and the varied, rich canvas of characters and narratives from which to draw, I am writing a series of #MicroTreks that thread the past with #StarTrekPicard.
There’s so much story left to tell! #MicroTreks in the 🧵 below!

In your podcast feed, you’ll find a little gift from Chris. During their coverage of season 3, they both wanted a history of the Xindi book. It’s here! Enjoy!

Nimoy shaped so much of Star Trek.
29 Nov 2025
I love old interviews like this, before Star Trek became widely popular. What strikes me is that Shatner and Nimoy are both very thoughtful, but not about the same thing. Shatner is more attentive to his *performance*; Nimoy is more attentive to his *character*…

#InterspeciesTrek Day 7: Collaboration
Data & Troi discovered that like the Enterprise, telepathic aliens were also caught inside Tyken's Rift. Each side supplied an element which, when combined, caused an explosion that freed them. (TNG's "Night Terrors")

#InterspeciesTrek Speaking
Being October I'll be putting a Halloween twist on entries i do!
The clicking sounds the aliens in "Schisms" make are eerie and help make the episode a memorable horrific classic. I believe it's their form of speaking. Can you hear it now?

When it comes to classic sci-fi themes, Star Trek: The Original Series is in a class all its own. But of the dozen other Star Trek shows, I think that Voyager's elegant intro stands head and shoulders above the rest.

On the topic of fantastic sci-fi t.v. themes, Space: 1999's first season intro is one of my absolute favorites.

I recently found some excerpts of Original Series Star Trek musical scores and couldn’t help but give them a whirl. Allow me to inflict some on you with my shrill oboe playing…
