The Star Trek title card generator is over here:

Make your own era-accurate Star Trek episode title cards in seconds. Boldly go!

The sitemaker (Josh Mayfield at https://bsky.app/profile/bean525.bsky.social) has asked for people to come in and kick its tires so he can work out any bugs they turn up. So do give him a hand, if you feel inclined. :)

(also, deeply amused by this one...)

janeway’s love of collecting young adult mentees + ambivalence towards actual children is such a fun combination of character traits and ime very realistic for a subset of highly ambitious, highly independent, highly career-driven people. she wants someone mostly grown who she can help realize their final form. which is a perfectly good desire most of the time it’s just that they’re all stuck in psychological hell on the voyage of the damned so that final form keeps getting twisted from normal things like “competent starfleet officer” to “god’s most favourite sacrificial lamb” and “perfectly tuned cog in the ruthless machine that is voyager”

GUYS IM SCREAMING WILLIAM SHATNER LIKED MY TWEET AND DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS

THIS ONE

THANKS FOR MAKING KIRK REALLY GAY

I FUCKING LOVE WILLIAM SHATNER

Asked if he saw the Kirk-Spock friendship as “two halves which come together to make a whole”, Roddenberry replied:

“Oh, yes. As I’ve said, I definitely designed it as a love relationship.… Also, dramatically, I designed Kirk and Spock to complete each other…”

He says the “only” difference between Kirk/Spock and Alexander/Hephaestion (who were openly gay) was that TOS never suggests “physical love between the two.” He then notes, “we certainly had the feeling that the affection was sufficient for that, if…the 23rd century [had more Greek-like views of sexuality].”

Then there’s Shatner, on an entirely different level.

Spirk is canon, and literally no one will ever convince me otherwise.

First time reading this Spirky excerpt. Thought I'd share it in case any of my followers hadn't seen it before

I want every ad on the subway to be this one. And then I want this also posted elsewhere. And then I want people who don’t use earbuds or headphones while listening to music or watching their videos in public to have their phones explode in their hands and faces. Or they get shunned and banned from public spaces.

Never stops tickling me that this is Bashir’s mum, and I like to think this is broadly what Amsha does after kicking Richard out.

Here’s the relevant sections from the DS9 Companion on casting Bashir’s parents. Love the tidy hair in the family photo, I bet O’Brien takes the absolute piss.

I love it when Garak is being difficult, everyone's go-to line is "I'm not Doctor Bashir" that's so funny.

I just heard Project Hail Mary's genre coined as "Cosmic Hope" instead of cosmic horror, and I'm getting emotional all over again. I need to sit down. God do I love this story to bits.

That’s also Star Trek’s genre

garak revealing his age to julian opens him up to situations where he's telling stories set during his adulthood and julian (cheeky bastard) says "oh, i was six years old!" and garak contracts a rare case of speechless

garak: [tells a story and mentions a year preceding 2341]

julian: that was before i was born
