Strange New WORDS wouldn't be complete until we heard from ALL the S3 writers - and now we have!

Onitra Johnson ("Shuttle to Kenfori" & "Through the Lens of Time") discusses writing horror episodes, what she fought for in S3, and doing the perfect about face! #StrangeNewWorlds

This episode may have helped me narrow down EXACTLY which restaurant the "rotisserary chicken" movement was born in!

The It's Got Star Trek Podcast @itsgotstartrek.bsky.social · 2d

New episode posted! This week we enjoy discussing sexy old Riker almost as much as discussing sexy young Riker when we cover "Future Imperfect". Plus, Dan is outed as an elite boner! Available now wherever the finest pods are cast...🖖🎵 #TNG #StarTrekTNG

The text reads "Episode #308 of the It's Got Star Trek podcast: Future Imperfect" superimposed over three images from that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Future Admiral Picard with a weird pointy porn beard; future slightly gray-haired sexy Riker with open pursed lips looking angry while First Officer Commander Data looks on; and a charming young boy with a trombone.

On Spocktober 3rd, he asked me what day it was.

Spock as Aaron Samuels looks back from his desk at school to Nurse Chapel as Cady Heron, who tells him, "It's Spocktober 3rd."

Welcome to the machine!

Well, this is a delightful episode (which is the norm for this show), AND it has John Billingsley!

PolyAmateur Hour @polyamateurhour.bsky.social · 8d

SLUTS IN SPACE. Our long awaited episode where we interview the more than delightful John Billingsley who played the only canonical polyamorous Star Trek character. Turns out he's even more chaotic than the Amateurs.

You're quite welcome. We are happy to be of service, and we can't wait to hear everything you've got in store!

Open Pike Night @openpike.bsky.social · 8d

I think we disagree on the fundamentals here.

Open Pike Night @openpike.bsky.social · 8d

What is legal and what is just are not always the same things.

Starfleet officers have a rich tradition of disobeying orders they feel are unjust.

Does becoming an ambassador erase Dak'Rah's misdeeds, or prevent him from harming people again in the future?

Open Pike Night @openpike.bsky.social · 8d

Woohoo, it's finally here! Congratulations on your first episode, we love it!

Open Pike Night @openpike.bsky.social · 8d

Mind if we clue you in on a delightful new treat from our good friend and thoughtful contributor @tvguygrayson.bsky.social - a brand-spanking new #StarTrek podcast called "The Prime Detective"?

Get to downloading, listening, rating, and reviewing!

Grayson @tvguygrayson.bsky.social · 8d

It's been a long time in the making, and now, my take on a Trek #podcast is live! 🕵️‍♂️ "The Prime Detective" is a weekly #TrueCrime meets #SciFi, short form, documentary series about what happens when real-life meets 'the final frontier.' Subscribe here: apple.co/3KzUkN7 or most podcast places.

M'Benga murdered a war criminal, and begged to be left alone before it happened. Extenuating circumstances.

Batel wasn't a villain.

You can hear answers to all these questions in our writer interviews 😊
