Some of you will get this, and either be amused or saddened by it.

I own this book (as I preordered it) but I have not yet read it. However, I recommend that everyone who follows me reads this book. Rob is that good.

Finished cleaning up and tracing Jefferies' blueprints for the "Klingon Space Cruiser", AKA the D7. These would have been handed over to AMT to build the master that would then be scaled down for the model kit. 1/

The Star Trek: The Original Series episode “The Empath” was in front of the cameras 58 years ago today. Here is a photo of a slate from that episode (left) and a screenshot (right). Note that they flopped the shot in the episode because they broke the 180-degree rule of filmmaking.

60 days of Star Trek coloring books to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek. Day 20/60: Star Trek: The Unchartered World, Parkes Run Publishing Co, 1978. This Giant Story Coloring Book (17"x22") with 32 pages was written by Liza Hamill with art by Dan Dyen. The title was meant to be The Uncharted World.

The transporter solves a lot of story problems...and it creates a bunch more. David's Gerrold's 1973 book The World of Star Trek explores the creative successes, missteps, and challenges of making our show. Here are some bits from that book and from David: collectingtrek.ca/2026/07/24/w...

Revisiting The World of Star Trek

David Gerrold’s 1973 book is worth your time. Here are two excerpts.

David Gerrold's 1973 book The World of Star Trek sold really well back in the day but this wonderful piece of #StarTrek history telling does not get a lot of attention now. Very little is written about it. So I asked David to tell me about his book. collectingtrek.ca/2026/07/24/g...

My dinner with David Gerrold

Little has been written about the 1973 book The World of Star Trek, so I asked David to tell me about it.

I love this. I just got a copy of the 1976 Strektaculars, also drawn by Phil Foglio and from Boojums Press. I haven’t even read it yet.

🖖 BREAKING - Nacelle Toys Unveil #StarTrek "Build-A-Bridge" Playset at #SDCC 2026! Announced earlier this year, the prototype is now on display at the event. The bridge is designed to pair with Nacelle’s 1/10 scale Star Trek action figures! 👀 See it at Booth 2547!

Fifty years ago today, the doors opened on Toronto Star Trek '76--the best #StarTrek convention ever held in Canada. I wrote the definitive history of that weekend. Read about the fans, the celebrities, the almost-arrest, and scotch and jumpsuits and other shenanigans: torontostartrek76.ca

@inglorioustrek.bsky.social Hey guys. Do you think The Way to Eden will be a 60 for 60 episode? And if it is, would you like to add a guest, maybe someone who has a lot of thoughts about Eden? 🙂

Hey look, it's Disco McCoy before The Motion Picture! (The first photo is from David Gerrold's 1973 The Trouble with Tribbles book.)

It's interesting that even Vulcans have fashion trends, but we are left to wonder if Spock was leading the movement towards more moderate eyebrows or following what the kids were doing back on his home planet.

Stardate 2412.7 I can never remember which transporter room has the food dispenser

60 days of Star Trek coloring books to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek. Day 9/60: Star Trek Puzzle Book, World Distributors, 1974. 80 pages of quizzes, mazes, coloring, dot-to-dot drawing, freehand drawing, and games. Mostly Kirk, Spock, McCoy, the Enterprise and the usual death by phaser.

SPOCK in "The Immunity Syndrome": It is not a galactic nebula such as the Coalsack. CHEKOV in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield": Four oh three mark seven. Straight for the Coalsack if there is no letup.

Is McCoy jealous? Because he looks jealous. I guess he wanted to be grabbing Christine's rear end at work. T-Negative fanzine, 1976. #NSFW

It feels like a lot of horror is creeping into Star Trek lately. Is that correct, and what do people think of that?

My Star Trek Zero Point #1 cover is a matched set with my Star Trek #1 cover

“MR. SPOCK as a pirate” Seems legit.

Star Trek began airing in the UK on this day in 1969 with 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'.

I was going to reply “Nice, but who’s the guy holding the phaser rifle?” but then I realized the other likenesses aren’t great either, so fair enough.
