I built an old #startrek plastic model and added a customized decal and had the best time.

I also have a hot take on “Spy Who Loved Me.” (I hate it.)

This was a fun conversation with some lively disagreements!

Mark Snow, ‘X-Files,’ ‘Ghost Whisperer,’ ‘Blue Bloods’ Composer, Dies at 78 Mark Snow, the veteran television composer who turned "The X-Files" theme into an unlikely chart hit in the 1990s has died. He was 78.

I never met him but was a fan. I read an interview once where he jokingly said he composed these lyrics to the theme from “The X-Files”: “The X-Files is a show… with music by Mark Snow…” RIP variety.com/2025/artisan...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Please read I’m very proud of this!

On second thought, should probably be GrandINFLUENCER.

GrandMA will get you green lit.

And building on that, what it it’s PB&J GrandMA? Think about that.

I just had a fantastic discussion with fellow #StarTrek #autobiography authors @unamccormack.bsky.social and @davidagoodman.bsky.social

But her emails.

I felt like Insurrection opened a can of worms with the romance with Anij and didn’t know how integrate it with the story I was telling with Picard and Beverly but looking back I probably should’ve tried harder to integrate it.

You got a lot but missed a few - all the people Picard is running against in the marathon are named after Enterprise writers. - later Picard, Walker Keel and Jack Crusher are in a bar on Sigma Iotia II which is from “A Piece of the Action”, and the natives are dressed like they’re in starfleet.

Thanks I was very lucky to work there.

Thanks I’m very proud of that book.

I think one of the difficulties of Star Trek as a viewer is that in the show we see no lasting effects from this torture, and victims of torture live with it their whole lives, and I tried to correct that a little.

Yeah this was a no brainer. The Joni Mitchell song I put in because I felt TNG always went a little too old with its music references. #TrekBookClub

I actually was required by Paramount to put a Discovery reference in here, this was written before Discovery came out, so I actually didn’t understand the reference.

I hated how the Ferenghi were portrayed in first season TNG. I think DS9 saved them.

Yeah as an Enterprise writer I wanted to have some character from the show in the book, but I agree that it’s a little bit of a stretch. I also did a version of this story in one of my “Orville” comics.

Yeah I enjoyed that too that the brat grows up, which is also a theme of a lot of characters in trek, that they used to be irresponsible or self centered but they change and grow.

Yeah, I felt trapped by what was said in Measure of a Man, which establishes her attitude about the court martial. But glad you liked it.

Yeah I thought the way he talked about it in “The Battle” he seemed modest about it.

I think the other piece of this that was important to me as a writer was that bit of backstory that was introduced in “Attached” where we find out Picard was in love with Beverly, so that his responsibility for Jack’s death is all the more difficult.

I wanted to make Jack a lot like Wesley, very smart and open. I felt that his character really hadn’t been explored that way.
