First time seeing South Pacific and…hello Albert. Must’ve done something terrible because I never see that name. #Survivor

It's been obvious for some time Alan doesn't really pay attention to the game he hosts (a trend in strategic reality competitions), so it's not surprising he's a font of terrible takes. #TheTraitorsUS

If they don't have similar trivia challenges on #Survivor50 as the one that launched Erik's historic downfall in Micronesia, they can keep it. #SurvivorRewind

It's not that Rob isn't playing a good game. He's doing well. It's the over-the-top fawning by other players and the audience when he just...sits there. Stephen and Mark get shit for being furniture, but Rob is an absolute block of wood. #TheTraitorsUS

What a beautiful DS9 tribute. It was so moving by the end, had to run to Wikipedia to make sure there haven't been any untimely deaths... #StarfleetAcademy

Don't care about the pageant but DO care about the sangin'-est sangstress to have ever sanged, Durand Bernarr, finally getting some well-overdue flowers. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

There's a difference between not saving someone (last week) and actively driving the bus over them (this week). Rob of the Island is playing like Boston Rob last season, focused on playing with Faithfuls rather than how to play with both Faithfuls and fellow Traitors. #TheTraitorsUS

"Battle is the language we use to honor each other. It is the way we first became one. The Federation would do better to humble themselves and learn to hear our language as it is spoken."

A beautifully articulated thesis on cultural politics. #StarfleetAcademy

There is a line in an upcoming episode of #StarfleetAcademy that hits particularly close to the chest at the moment:

'There has been a tragedy. Don't compound it with ignorance.'

Star Trek, on the ball as usual

Jenna is such an eloquent hater, I can't help but hitch a wagon to her for #Survivor50.
As part of my #Survivor50 preseason interviews, I had each person run down the entire cast of 24 players, assigning each one to Friend or Foe

Jenna Lewis-Dougherty immediately understood the assignment

Good god this season lost just about all its flavor by kicking Tiffany, Monet, and Porsha. Like…it’s glaring. #TheTraitorsUS

The way Ake has never met a comb in her life. Love that for her. #StarfleetAcademy

Paramount won't get a dime of my money, but I'ma keep finding a way to watch this lil' show. #StarfleetAcademy

He does not want Star Trek. He wants to co-opt the aesthetic of Star Trek to sell his techno-feudalist futurist wet dream. Star Trek hates men like him.
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

Voyager is 31!

"Much will be made of the political correctness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman".

A woman, captain of a ship 😱

Just a reminder that we've come a long way, and that the reactionary whiners of today are just the latest in a long line. 🖖

Natalie making it clear she let Michael know from *day one* she wanted him out the castle, iktr! #TheTraitorsUS

There has been some egregious time-fudging in the show but this statue mission…another level. #TheTraitorsUS

Really hate how the editors have decided this is The Traitors: Colton Edition. Enough. #TheTraitorsUS

And Jeff can skydive into the studio from an orbital platform, exactly. Real reality TV is back.

Michael Rapaport is such a stain and drain on the show. Good luck and much love to Yam Yam for staying on his neck, to the fun duo of Natalie/Monet, and whichever of Kristen/Eric who survives this round (wish it could be both). #TheTraitorsUS
