New podcast alert! We are back reviewing the #StrangeNewWorlds season 4 premiere: Valles Marineris! Then we ask who broke the Prime Directive better in a conversation with historian and @eomproject.bsky.social author John Concaugh (@badsocialism.bsky.social)! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Captain Pike wears a cowboy outfit while sitting on a horse and speaking into his communicator. From the strange new worlds episode Valles Marineris.

McCoy looks disappointingly at Kirk as he orders serpents for the garden of Eden. From the original series episode Private Little War.

A Mintakan, please for his wife’s life back distraught Picard. From the next generation episode, who watches the watchers.

Let’s celebrate 60 years of Star Trek warning us about the prisons our false effigies lock us in.

Captain Kirk stands angrily over a nervous Dr. McCoy and Dr. Crater in the briefing room. The subtitle reads: this thing becomes wife, lover, best friend, wise man, fool, idol, slave.

Captain Kirk looks wistfully upward over a pensive, Dr. McCoy and Dr. Crater the subtitle reads: it isn’t a bad life to have everyone in the universe at your beck and call.

Captain Kirk looks down judgmentally at a sad eyed, Dr. Crater as Dr. McCoy listens in. The subtitle reads: and you win all the arguments!

🖖NEW EPISODE🖖 Trek Marry Kill is back for its 5th season. We kick things off with "The Man Trap" from The Original Series. Do Bryan & Kristen find this to be a handsome episode or is the crew's sexual harassment of Yeoman Rand too distracting? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

ENGINEER STILES
So, Grabes, I hear you bagged another single shot kill on a Romulan ship today.
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
Grabes has got to have up to 20 of them by now. The top brass will probably be promoting her any day now.
LT. GRABES
It’s 24 kills, actually. I’m hoping to have 30 notches on my wall by the end of the year.
All of them laugh. CAPTAIN MADISON is quietly eavesdropping on their conversation. He speaks to them without looking up.
CAPTAIN MADISON
You should show more respect when addressing the dead.

GRABES looks over to MADISON. She looks even more nervous than before. She stutters as she speaks.
LT. GRABES
Eh..eh..excuse me, sir?
MADISON looks up now.
CAPTAIN MADISON
The dead, Grabes. Those who have bravely fought you and have been defeated by you.
MADISON’S voice raises slowly to a cold, controlled yell so the whole room can hear.
CAPTAIN MADISON
They may be our enemies and they may not hold our values but they are still soldiers like us and in my presence you will show them some respect, damn it.
The room quiets and all eyes are on the officer’s table. MADISON stands to leave. The room resumes its chatter again. Before he can get far JORDAN also stands.
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
Sir, I’d like to speak to you in private when you have a chance.
CAPTAIN MADISON
You know where to find me, Exec.

INT. MADISON'S QUARTERS
Madison sits at the edge of a bed shirtless. Jordan is behind him frowning under the covers.
MADISON
Was there anything else you wanted to discuss, Landon?
JORDAN
Curse you, Kyle! You know this isn't what I came down here for.
MADISON
Yes, I know. You wanted to talk to me about my attitude and the crew's feelings. Haven't we had this discussion a million times before?
JORDON
We never get to have this discussion because you manipulate your way out of it every time! Do you know the flack I'm getting because of you? I can't sit down to a plate of food cubes witout dealing with a weepy navigator and mutinous chief engineer wailing in my ear?
MADISON
Ha, Ha. Mutinous? Are you telling me I should have Stiles keel-hauled? Shall we drag her along at warp, or will impulse do?
JORDAN
I'm telling you something needs to change. At least tell me why you've been out of it the last two months. I'm not leaving here 'till I get some sort of answer!

MADISON
You know I was an ensign on the first warp capable exploration ship?
JORDAN
I remember. I didn't join up much later than you.
MADISON
I was going to meet the people on those “strange new worlds”. I didn’t expect I’d be slaughtering them one campaign at a time. I listen to bright, young junior officers trained in science and exploration ticking off battle casualties like they’re scoring points. Death and killing means so little to them now. We’ve tainted a generation...
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
The Romulans did start this war, Kyle.
CAPTAIN MADISON
You don’t think I know that, LANDON? There isn’t a person on this ship who didn’t know someone on those colonies. But what does who started what matter now? We’ve been doing this for four years and where has it gotten us?

Ship Full of Jerks Podcast @shipfullofjerks.bsky.social · 3d ago

As guests hosts for @trekmarrykpod.bsky.social, the Jerks took Picard to task for derailing Lt. Darren's career. Something he did also try with Beverly in the "Encounter at Farpoint" pilot. Listen to our "Lesson" review on TMK here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Picard tries to throw Beverly off the Enterprise in the TNG pilot film.

Stuart Webb@inflatabledalek.bsky.social · 3d ago

#TrekADay To allow for Kirk not to look inappropriate, Star Trek established very early that there are no "rules against romance" in Starfleet, something we've seen over and over. But today's TNG is a great example of why this is a terrible thing as Picard dating a subordinate destroys her career.

Science officer Lt. Nella Daren looks startled in Stella Cartography.

#StarTrekTheWebComic #NoGoodDeed 5-8 2 April, 2013 trekcomic.com/comic/2013-0... Alt text is now taken directly from the original script. Some descriptions and dialogue may vary.

EXT. DEEP SPACE - STALWART
The Stalwart fires two rocket propelled torpedoes, the right one a single beat after the left. The first one detonates behind the Romulan vessel sending it into a slow spin. The second impacts directly, blowing the ship in two.
INT. STALWART - BRIDGE
From the captain’s chair we see the helm and main viewer. The Romulan ship’s remains explode into dust on screen. LT. GRABES turns toward the camera with a look of excitement.
LT. GRABES
Direct hit, sir! Target destroyed.
The ship’s first officer and helmsman, LT. COMMANDER LANDON JORDAN, turns toward LT. GRABES.
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
Fourth one this week, GRABES. Nice job.
CAPTAIN MADISON remains unmoved by the situation.
CAPTAIN MADISON
If there are no more hostiles within scanner range proceed on previous reconnaissance course, mark 2-8.

EXT. DEEP SPACE - STALWART FLYBY
INT. STALWART - MESS ROOM
We pan across several tables in a not quite sanitary looking cafeteria. The tables are full of crewmen and women eating and talking. The camera stops at the back where the officer’s table is. LT GRABES, LT COMMANDER JORDAN, and ENGINEER STILES sit together talking in muted, shameful voices.
ENGINEER STILES
Listen, if it wasn’t for you guys on the bridge pulling more than your own weight we’d all be dead by now.
LT. GRABES looks down disheartened into a metal cup she’s holding in both hands.
LT. GRABES
It’s true, Captain Madison has been a little out of it lately.
ENGINEER STILES smacks his hand forcefully against the table and yells the loudest whisper he can.
ENGINEER STILES
A little?! He has to be badgered and prodded into any kind of decision making whenever one of those buzzard ships come into sight. He freezes!

LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
It’s not so much freezing. It’s more like... disinterest.
ENGINEER STILES
Whatever it is he’s going to get us all killed one day. We’ve got to do something.
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
We’re all tired, Stiles. Several years of combat takes its toll on the best of us. We’ve both known Madison a long time now, and we have to trust he’s capable of pulling himself out of this kind of battle fatigue.
ENGINEER STILES
I’m just saying I know how my engineering crew feels. They’re worrying Madison is loosing his grip, and possibly even becoming a Romulan sympathizer. We have enough of those peacenik traitors back home. We don’t need one leading us into battle. If you were to challenge his actions I know the crew would...
An off screen crewman yells out something over the crowd’s noise.
CREWMAN
Captain on deck!

The camera slides over a room full of crewmen once relaxed and eating now standing at attention. It stops at the doorway with the figure of CAPTAIN MADISON standing in it. He steps forward and the door closes shut behind him.
CAPTAIN MADISON
As you were.
The crew sit and resume their chatter. Madison walks over to the officer’s table and sits down at the end, several seats away from the three conspiring officers already seated there. He addresses each one as he sits.
CAPTAIN MADISON
First Officer, Navigator, Engineer.
All three nod and respond with a muted “Hello Captain”. A mess crewman approaches MADISON with a tray of food and a cup. MADISON begins picking at his food the officers nervously resume a different conversation.

The Jerks went throught the Shat-ography recently, starting with THE INTRUDER. Our goal to see if William Shatner actually deserved the hammy actor criticisms. You can listen to our review of Roger Corman’s potboiler here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

One half of the Jerks was at the STAR TREK TOUR in Long Beach in 2008.

Jerk Ryan Riddle, still young as when the world was new, sits in the TOS captain’s chair. Yes, he really wore skater tees over a long sleeve undershirt. It was the early Aughts, okay. Things were weird. We listened to FALL OUT BOY and Gwen Stafani…

To this I’ll say what @ryanthomasriddle.com noticed: Meyer likes to make the main cast look dumb and his OCs capable. McCoy doesn’t check for the “creatures in our bodies”. Chekov doesn’t know how the alarms work or how to count planets. Kirk needs reminding to raise shields and still doesn’t.

On its 13th anniversary and on Star Trek’s 60th I thought I’d bring #StarTrekTheWebComic to bsky for the first time. I’ll run 4 strips every Monday starting with #NoGoodDeed 1-4. I’ll also add commentary when useful and the original URL of the first strip in every post. trekcomic.com/comic/2013-0...

A Daedalus class ship passes by. Explosions go off around it. It approaches a romulan bird of prey. The captions read “July 2061. The height of the Earth-Romulan war”.

Title card reading “No Good Deed written and illustrated by Mark Farinas”.
