Love @daytonward.bsky.social’s Trek books and this cover absolutely slaps. Looks like it might be taking place post-season 3 too. Definitely stoked for this one!

Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones on the set of "Battle at the Binary Stars", STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017)

Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones hanging out on the bridge of the USS Shenzhou during filming of "Battle at the Binary Stars".

Looking back at her role as Michael Burnham, Martin-Green reflected on the character's beginning as First Officer of the USS Shenzhou: "...even speaking about it in the cultural context, what it means for the Black community specifically, I know a lot of folks were like, 'Yeah, but you're not the captain'. And I understood that. I understood that point of view. And I thought: 'I know it seems that way, it seems like a slight. But it's not. We're going to earn it. And you're going to be able to watch.'"

Recently had an absolutely delightful conversation with @miquai.bsky.social about Star Trek: Lower Decks for an upcoming @dslovepod.bsky.social ep. It was a fun reminder of how much I love connecting other fans in the Trek community, especially when the world feels grim. Look for the ep. soon!

Watched the 1st ep. with the kiddos. Super short & cute. The Star Trek guitar riff theme slaps! Our 3-year-old was giggling throughout; the 7-year-old, in the other hand said, “I think Prodigy is more for me” 😂

This is definitely one for the littles, but it’s fun! Love Bubbles the Targ 💜

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.
