In Star Trek: Prodigy’s “All the World’s a Stage,” a Redshirt becomes a messiah, and oral traditions become a living faith. ✨

Special thanks to @goodaaron.bsky.social for sharing his insights with me! My interview with Aaron Waltke will be posting in a few days, so keep an eye out!

What happens when Starfleet’s rule of non-interference collides with religion, politics, and culture?

From Bajor under the Occupation to Voyager being worshipped as a god, the Prime Directive shows us the limits of utopian ideals.

Starting my semi-annual Buffy/Angel rewatch. Any burning politics or religion questions for me? I’ve got quite a bit of content planned already, but I’d love to hear from y’all!

NEW CONTENT TUESDAY! 🖖

Why did Spock’s parents keep him away from Sybok — and were they right?

From Star Trek V: The Final Frontier to Strange New Worlds and back to TOS, I dig into Vulcan family drama, forbidden mind melds, and what it all says about Spock’s power.

NEW VIDEO ALERT!!! Go over and take it a gander (and if you really love me, let it play completely even if you've got it muted). #trekademia #startrek #moviereviews #academicbluesky #blueskyprofessors
It's here! My first long-form lecture. This was the idea that launched the entire channel.

This episode is dedicated to the late Dr. Jeff Poelvoorde, my politics professor and friend. He helped me believe that pop culture scholarship has a place in the academy. #academicbluesky #trekademia

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
