I'm back from vacation and David and I are working hard on our next video! Since out last Star Trek WHAT IF (Picard and the Enterprise-D in the Delta Quadrant) seemed to be very popular - we are coming out with a follow-up: WHAT IF Janeway was Captain of DS9, and not Sisko? Coming this week!

Hi everyone. I'm going to take a short break from videos for a week or so to spend some time with my family, with great sadness I have to report we lost our beloved dog Oscar yesterday after a long battle with degenerative myopathy. He passed with his whole family present, myself, my wife and kids, surrounded by love. 🐶❤️😢

With Starfleet Academy concluded, and no other Star Trek coming up directly behind it, I'm considering covering FOR ALL MANKIND's 5th Season starting on 27th March. I've always loved the show and with ex-Star Trek alumni Ronald D. Moore and Joe Menosky on the creative team, well written and with great characters, I feel there is some Star Trek DNA in the recipe. If I started up some FOR ALL MANKIND content, would you guys out there be into that? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Over the past three months I’ve produced a series of videos on my channel exploring Mike Sussman’s Star Trek: United concept. In that time they’ve pulled in over 150,000 views and thousands of comments, and what’s striking is just how overwhelmingly positive the response has been. That kind of engagement has comfortably outpaced discussion around current Trek shows like Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy. It’s rare to see this level of excitement so clearly aligned, and it says a lot. Star Trek: United feels like the Trek many fans have been waiting for.
