You know how the writer of your fave show mentions the πŸ™„ notes they got from the studio? It’s me, hi. Currently on: All the Treks and Murderbot. Previously: Ghosts, CSI: Vegas, Equalizer, American Vandal, Criminal Minds, Black-ish, among others.

But a very serious tasting cake.

I’m willing to bet it’s a pretty big Venn diagram of people who love Trek and love the Muppets. 🀞

Some of our folks currently on the Star Trek Cruise shared this cosplay with me from the other night.

Even though we’ve only shown a very small peak at Puppet Pike thus far, this cosplay is scarily episode accurate.

Trek fans remain undefeated.

I'm happy I finally have time time to feature the "Tales from the Frontier" comic, seen in #StarfleetAcademy's "Come, Let's Away".😊 I have assembled all the pages seen in the episode but as a special gift, here's the cover and back page of the comic, provided to me by its designer: Stu Pearce! 🧡 1/4

The goal and hope was to make it easy to jump onboard without homework. At most, you’ll just need to understand that The Burn was a cataclysmic event that people in this world are still recovering from.

I found the episode to be a little magical realism coded, given the story and it being from SAM’s pov. So to me, elements like this, her writing on the screen, the freeze frames, were just leaning into the uniqueness of how the story was being told.

With this week, we hope SFA has done a good job of showing where it’ll live in the first 6 eps. There’s gonna be action & drama; humor & heartbreak. There’s going to be hope & the dark to challenge it. There’s going to be classic stories & telling in a way specific to SFA. Hope you enjoy! (2/2)

Happy #StarfleetAcademy drop nite! Ep6 β€œCome, Let’s Away” is written by Kenneth Lin & Kiley Rossetter. Directed by Larry Teng. Lands ~9pm PT.

We talk on this end about teaching an audience β€œhow to watch a show” with the first eps. What to expect, what to question, what to discuss, etc. (1/2)

He does really great work! #spoilers: I love the subtle reveal of the museum cameo. And the reaction shot of the gang after the first punch kills me every time. So many great small touches.

Slight #spoilers: Even if you don’t know DS9, the team did a great job of also just telling a story about a kid whose parents say she needs to be one thing, but now at college she’s realizing she wants to be something else. Just love how it works on both levels.

I need to tell the P+ team to serve that up as the β€œplay next” option on the platform.

Larry is a longtime partner of ours at the studio but new to #StarTrek. I worry about overhype, but with his, Kirsten, & Tawny’s powers combined, I do think they made a special story. So relatable to anyone trying to find themselves. And so heartfelt for anyone who loves tacky eyesores. Enjoy! (2/2)

Happy #StarfleetAcademy drop nite. Ep5 β€œSeries Acclimation Mil” is written by Kirsten Beyer & Tawny Newsome. Directed by Larry Teng. Lands ~9pm PT. If you know Kirsten & Tawny, you know that they KNOW Trek. Not just the facts & stats (which they do know), but they get the heart & soul of Trek. (1/2)

I wouldn't be surprised but not certain. I feel like everyone’s instinct is to try & confirm beta canon & other media where possible vs contradict.

Funny enough, the materials I see usually doesn’t describe the ships in these scenes so I also get to do the Leo Point once I see the completed VFX.
