Right!?
A muscular adult man stands in a futuristic room with his hands on his hips, wearing a sleeveless gray top and fitted pants. He looks downward toward the floor. Warm orange seating and textured wall panels surround him, and a large window behind him reveals a hazy city skyline in the distance. Soft light fills the space, giving the room a sleek, sci-fi interior feel.

Totally agree. It's my number one too, with "Parallels" a CLOSE second.
Interior of a futuristic starship bridge. A bearded man in a red-and-black uniform sits at a control station while a woman in a teal uniform stands beside him, both looking serious. In the background, another crew member in a gold uniform stands near a console. On-screen subtitle reads: ‘Captain, we’re receiving 285,000 hails.

Post your home river.
Wide view of the Los Angeles River flowing through a concrete flood-control channel, with several people kayaking down the shallow water. Arched bridges span the channel in the distance, while graffiti-covered concrete banks and rail lines line both sides under a clear sky.

What was your #ChildhoodCinema?

The Topanga Theater: cinematreasures.org/theaters/2365. Opened in 1965, on the corner of Topanga and Victory in the San Fernando Valley. Closed in 2000. Demolished in 2007. There's now a Crate & Barrel on the site.
Exterior of the Topanga Theatre at dusk, featuring a glowing marquee and the theater’s name in mid-century, South Pacific–inspired tiki styling. The marquee advertises Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd and The Survivors with Walter Matthau and Robin Williams, with parked cars lining the street in front.

I remember seeing the Hale-Bopp comet. Hard to believe that was nearly 30 years ago.

Even harder to believe? That spectacular sight, a rumor, & #StarTrek inspired the largest crime scene of its kind in US history.

Podcast logo for The Prime Detective. A gold magnifying glass overlays a black background with a teal Star Trek–style delta outline. Inside the magnifying glass is an image of the Hale-Bopp comet, with its bright nucleus and long tail against a star-filled night sky. The title “The Prime Detective Podcast” appears in bold gold and teal lettering.

RIP Commander Landry. #SoSayWeAll
A woman in a dark Starfleet uniform (Commander Landry - played by Rekha Sharma) stands in a futuristic control room, holding a large, rectangular sci-fi weapon over her right shoulder. She looks to her left with a serious expression. Behind her, a large wall-mounted monitor displays a blue, holographic-style scan of a large, multi-limbed creature resembling a tardigrade, surrounded by data readouts, waveforms, and labeled panels. White subtitle text at the bottom of the image reads: “so you can figure out what makes this thing so good at killing Klingons.”

A close-up photo of a rusted metal bench or ledge along the Atlanta Beltline. A narrow strip of green tape is attached to the metal surface with black printed text that reads, “GIVE SOCIAL MEDIA LESS OF YOURSELF.” The background is out of focus, showing pavement and part of a metal post.

Wide view of a large graffiti mural under the John Lewis Freedom Parkway overpass on the Atlanta Beltline. The mural spans a concrete wall and includes two cartoon characters at opposite ends: the flame-haired creature on the left and the long-nosed human figure on the right. Between them is large stylized graffiti lettering in blue, red, yellow, and white. The ground is dirt and gravel, and concrete bridge supports with additional graffiti are visible above and around the mural. A man stands on the Atlanta Beltline beneath a concrete overpass near North Highland Avenue. He wears a dark baseball cap, a gray T-shirt with a yellow sun graphic and the letters “ITP,” black pants, and light-colored sneakers. White earbud wires hang from his ears, and his hands are clasped loosely in front of him. He stands on a paved trail bordered by grass and winter foliage. Behind him, the overpass features colorful street art and graffiti, and the Beltline path curves into the distance beneath the bridge.

🔥❄️ Good morning from the @atlantabeltline.org where the the battle between #HeatMiser and #SnowMiser is playing out under John Lewis Freedom Pkwy NE. It’s not looking good for SM. The forecast shows mid 70s in #Atlanta. In 2025, HM takes the win!
Street art mural depicting a cartoon creature with pointed ears, a red nose, sharp teeth, and flame-like hair in red and yellow. The character raises both arms with clenched fists and wears a yellow outfit with red boots. The figure appears angry or shouting. The background is painted in pinks, oranges, and darker tones with additional graffiti elements. Street art mural painted on a concrete wall under an overpass. The mural shows a cartoon-style human figure with a long pointed nose and exaggerated grin. The figure wears a light blue hat, scarf, gloves, and pants, with a dark jacket and torn clothing details. The character holds a stick or club raised over one shoulder. The background includes layered graffiti with red, blue, yellow, and white geometric shapes.

❄️ Merry holidays to the people who made Bluesky feel worth opening this year — through smart takes, good humor, and generous conversation. Y'all inspire, inform, entertain and enlighten me on the daily. 🖖
Circular network visualization on a blue-to-purple gradient background created by Skcycle.app. A larger circular profile photo of one person appears at the center, surrounded by dozens of smaller circular profile images arranged in concentric rings. The surrounding circles contain a mix of individual headshots, illustrated avatars, logos, and podcast artwork. Several circles display small checkmark icons. The layout suggests connections or interactions radiating outward from the central person over time. The text “Skcycle.app” appears in the lower right corner.

Square podcast cover image for The Prime Detective. Against a dark, snowy background, pale gold text reads “THE PRIME DETECTIVE,” with the word “PODCAST” in a teal rectangle on the right. A teal delta-shaped outline sits behind the title. In the foreground, a gold magnifying glass overlaps the text; inside its circular lens is a faceted blue gemstone surrounded by small white snowflakes, creating a snow-globe effect. Light snow appears to fall across the entire image, and a small star-like glint appears near the top of the teal delta.

Share an actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it...
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones stands in a jungle setting in front of ancient stone temple steps. He wears a brown fedora, a sleeveless tan shirt open at the chest, and a leather strap with a coiled whip over his shoulder. His muscular arms are exposed, and his face is sweaty and stubbled. He looks tense and alert, with a wary expression, as dense green foliage and weathered stone ruins surround him.

Post your favorite Star Trek character, wrong answers only.
A man in a shiny black sci-fi uniform stands in a bright desert setting, wearing an oversized, spherical black helmet that covers most of his head. He squints ahead while holding a large, flat, reflective panel, as if searching for something in the sand.

A wide shot inside a futuristic Starfleet-style ready room. A man in a light gray uniform sits at a sleek desk on the left, facing a woman who stands on the right wearing a bright yellow outfit with a black belt. Behind them is a decorative wall made of angled metallic panels filled with circular displays and illuminated rings. The lighting is cool and blue, with control consoles glowing in the background. White subtitles at the bottom read, “Please, Abuela, you promised.”

Drop something OCCULAR 😳👁🖤
A man with short gray hair and a trimmed beard takes a selfie outdoors in front of the Oculus transportation hub in New York City. He’s wearing a black jacket and white earbuds. Behind him, the white ribbed wings of the Oculus curve upward, and One World Trade Center rises into a partly cloudy sky. Tall buildings frame the scene on both sides.

I'm getting infinite shuttlecrafts (can they be runabouts tho?), consoles that don't explode (we'll use the Cordry rocks in the arboretum instead), and a hologram doctor (because a Denobulan doctor wasn't an option - #TeamPhlox).
This is a A graphic styled like a Star Trek LCARS display lists ten humorous upgrade options for building a fictional Federation starship, with a budget of seven credits. The options include: Cloaking device (3 credits) Holodecks that don’t try to kill you (3 credits) Consoles that don’t explode when hit (3 credits) Infinite shuttlecrafts — “the Voyager special” (2 credits) Saucer separation (1 credit) Comfortable bridge chairs (1 credit) A counselor who senses “pain” (1 credit) Warp 10 (2 credits), with a warning that it turns you into a lizard Self-destruct sequence that actually works (2 credits) Hologram doctor (2 credits) The header reads: “You have 7 Federation credits to build your flagship.” The overall tone is playful, poking fun at common Star Trek tropes and flaws.

I honestly think this is kind of a clever troll. I'm sure there will be ELEMENTS of this genre in STA, but I think marketing is really just HOPING for all the knee-jerk reactions.

Jon McBrine posted a pic on X of which this the academy poster is almost certainly an homage: x.com/jonmcbrine/s...
A stylized promotional photo for One Tree Hill shows five young adults lying closely together on a bed, arranged in a crisscrossed, almost star-like formation. At the top left, a young man in a dark sleeveless shirt reclines with one arm behind his head. To the right of him, a young woman with curly blonde hair in a green tank top lies on her side, propped up slightly on one elbow. In the center, a young man in a gray sleeveless shirt lies on his back, looking upward. Below him on the left, a young woman in a pink sleeveless top lies on her side with one hand resting near her waist. To the right, another young woman in a deep red lace top lies on her back with one knee bent, her hand resting on the center man’s arm. All five wear fitted tops and jeans, posed in a relaxed, intimate arrangement on rumpled pale bedding. The One Tree Hill logo appears near the bottom of the image.

One of the first cyberstalking convictions in U.S. history has roots in pro-wrestling, #StarTrek, and an actor who refused to be intimidated.

This case helped prove that online threats aren’t “just words,” but something the law has to take seriously.

🦃 #ThePrimeDetective is off for #Thanksgiving, but I still whipped up a special side dish:

An exclusive preview of one of the final @trek365.bsky.social episodes. It won’t air until December, but Izaak Brown gave us early access! 🎧 apple.co/3XdPmZE

Grateful for his friendship & inspiration.
A rectangular promotional graphic with a purple gradient background. On the left is the square cover art for The Prime Detective podcast: a black background with a stylized Starfleet-shaped outline in teal. Over it, the title “THE PRIME DETECTIVE PODCAST” appears in bold gold lettering, with the “I” in “DETECTIVE” replaced by a magnifying glass containing a black-and-gold insignia. To the right of the cover art, large white text reads “Special guest Trek 365: Thanksgiving Special Preview.” Below, in the lower left corner, is the Apple Podcasts logo in white next to the text “Listen on Apple Podcasts.”
