It’s time to start Season 4! There are a lot of connections to life today and many moments of our crew being amazing. Plus, stick around after the ep discussion to hear about @shelfnerds.bsky.social time at the Trek to Orlando convention.

It’s good to be back with the Carrot Crew!

(8/23) He says that later too, when Chef tells him the carrots aren’t peeled! I love him casually munching away, before giving Riker the final clarity he needs about the Pegasus. It feels unnecessary, as this was hundreds of episodes ago in another show, but Frakes plays it believably & touchingly.

I did not expect VOY to be what does it for me but it is. I like other ones but that one hits my sweet spot. So glad to pass on the channel. This channel is good, too.

This is the video I was mentioning that I can sleep to. Since people asked, I figured I’d post it. Tons of good ones on that channel so please look if you want to relax in Trek. 🖖🏽💚
