If you pick up a copy of Star Trek Explorer this month, you might see a familiar face! I'm honored to be an IDIC Award Winner for my work in accessibility, diversity, equity and inclusion. Thank you to Star Trek Explorer for featuring me and also for supporting everyone who demonstrates the ideals of Star Trek in real life. LLAP!  🖖🏿  Alt text for the IDIC award photo: THE IDIC AWARD - Honoring fans who demonstrate Star Trek's idealistic values in real life. "I love Star Trek because it inspires me to create, dream and strive for a better tomorrow, no matter what," explains Jay Justice, a dedicated fan who works to embody Trek's values. "My goals are always to center marginalized people and listen to voices that usually unheard... My calling is to make sure everyone who needs accessibility can get it and the best way to do that is to listen first and act second." Pictured here in cosplays that include Captain La Forge and a TOS uniform, Jay values teamwork. "You're not alone, you don't have to fight against the injustices of the galaxy alone. You've got your crew and you should rely on them just as much as they rely on you."

Ed Speleers on the cover of Star Trek: Explorer’s eighth issue (Sept. 12th)!

In the exclusive interview Ed discusses the Picard Season 3 finale, as well as his post-credit scene with John de Lancie (Q). He also expresses his enthusiasm on reprising his role of Jack Crusher for a possible Star Trek: Legacy spinoff:

“I would be there with bells on. If the opportunity presents itself, then sign me up, Scotty!”

james Tiberius Kirk is pro choice and pro contraceptives just fyi

#i cannot believe this made it into to the episode #this was 1969 #i feel like a lot of people see kirk as this over macho all american chauvinist (william shatners fault) #buts hes actually this bad ass bureaucracy-hating space explorer who makes all his decisions with kindness and equality in mind #and i love him #and obviously this show is flawed and dated because it was made 60 YEARS AGO #anyway kirk is beautiful and i adore him #star trek tos #jim kirk #star trek #spock #tos

The choice to put Una Chin-Reily on a Starfleet recruitment poster in the late 2370s seems a nod to the extraordinary person she is and her exemplary service, but Boimler’s enthusiasm for her as a personal hero cannot mask the fact of what Starfleet execs are really doing here: while it is Starfleet tradition to honour esteemed personnel from its centuries of history, we have to look at the poster as a product of its time: it seems clear that, shortly after the devastating death toll and the rapid militarisation of the Dominion War, putting a prominent figure of the Great Exploration Age - and notedly someone who had not served in the Klingon War - as the poster person for Starfleet is an indictment that contemporary young people of the Federation are not drawn to the service as it is in their time anymore.

Critically, Starfleet has to use somebody from a 120 years ago, a timeframe that would lap generations of even especially long lived member species like Vulcans or Denobulans, to attract new recruits. Boimler says himself that seeing Una as a representative and her motto - “Ad astra per aspera” was: “Uh, it was a really big reason why I joined.” Clearly there is a wealth of recognisable Starfleet officers from 2370 and onwards, but their entanglement in the Dominion War, or at least in the Borg threat makes them unsuitable as role models for people like Boimler who cannot help but associate these contemporaries with the horrors of war and intergalactic conflict. Thus, the retreat to a “safe” historical narrative, with Starfleet still being about peaceful exploration reflects the growing divide between the realities of a colonised galaxy, the ongoing need of new bodies to fill the posts on all those ships and space stations and the aspirations and values of young people today. In this essay I will question whether Starfleet can keep its promise of scientific integrity in the face of growing political unrest in the UFP and ask what “Number One” herself would have thought about-

#i loved what the poster meant for una but really it IS kind of weird #like maybe if there is a series of posters #but especially picard establishes this growing resentment and whispers of plexits (planet exit) political problems in the UFP #which I KNOW are bc writers write what they see #but also...cant we not have nice things in the future. like a functioning united system of government #anyway imagine little boims or tendi seeing the news of the dominion fleet coming through the worm hole? #they should explore that. more. #star trek #snw #snw spoilers #una chin riley #number one #lower decks #brad boimler #bradward boimler #ufp #starfleet #mp #strange new worlds #star trek strange new worlds #star trek snw

Star Trek Explorer magazine #11, edited by me, is out now , published by Titan Magazines featuring a huge lead interview with Star Trek: Discovery star Sinequa Martin-Green, via Ian Spelling. She teases things to come as the series draws to a close, and offers some candid comments on what she hopes the legacy of the show will be.

Across the print and subscriber-only supplement we also have exclusive short stories from Keith R.A. DeCandido, Michael Dismuke, Rich Handley and David Mack. A fine lineup!

Michael’s tale is a Star Trek: Picard short story, "Confirmation Bias" illustrated by Pete Wallbank, centring on a difficult encounter between Captain Shaw and Seven of Nine aboard the U.S.S. Titan-A. You can read an excerpt here https://www.startrek.com/news/star-trek-explorer-11-excerpt

In David Mack's story, "Dignified Transfer," it’s a sad mission for Captain Picard.

This issue also has an exclusive interview with the Hagemans, creators of Star Trek: Prodigy, and IDW’s Heather Antos chats with Rich Handley about the company’s plans for their Star Trek comics.

I’m grateful too, to former editor Paul Simpson for his poignant contribution to this issue, reflecting on his Star Trek experiences in a special “Trek through Life”. Thank you.

Thanks to all the contributors this issue: Chris Dows, Rich Handley, Aaron Harvey, Lisa Herrera, John Kirk, Andrew Lane, Rich Matthews, Louis de Martinis, Joe Nazzaro, Larry Nemecek, Paul Simpson, Ian Spelling, Jay Stobie, Paul Travers (wait, who? 😀) and Andy Walker

really love characters who have varied panic responses. kirk stating himself that he does not panic outright, externally, not in high-stress dangerous situations, but instead becomes tense and level like a wound string, on-guard: mostly because his role as captain necessitates that he maintain level rationality even when facing potential death as his training as 'the guy who tells you what to do when shit hits the fan' requires, but also because his childhood experiences taught him early that drowning in the desperate haziness of panic won't help you survive. especially as kirk already follows his intuition so deeply. he learned to grasp and contort the feeling. spock is the main person who represses his emotions, of course, but kirk does it to those deep-set, personal ones (this includes how he doesn't reveal anything truly personal about himself willingly 90% of the time, only what others already know/shallow anecdotes) in a much more subtle way that's really interesting to me. certified expert at avoiding the subject as long as he isnt caught out on the lie. professional bluffer.

in terms of past or parents we dont know much!!! hes known as the heart-on-his-sleeve guy!!! like yes he yells, he gets irritated, excited, hes a whirlwind of quick-thinking and plans and intuition, he goes out of his way to connect with his crew and shows it, when he puts on a little act or bluff he puts his heart into it and clearly enjoys the dramatics so much, at times he wears his heart on his sleeve, he laughs openly and is honest to spock about what he means to him, he's very sun-coded to me in a burning, passionate way, always intertwined with the stars and seeking them out, but when it comes to genuine deep-set turmoil? we dont actually know all that much about him??? hes so full of emotion and character (i love fics where spock characterises jim's mind/bond as a whirl of colour and sensations, hes a quick thinker!!! intuitive!! lively!!!) and yet its still so outwardly surface level. tarsus iv gets mentioned like twice? so especially here where kirk gets briefly jumpscared by the creature, because like:

its subtle but his eyes. his eyesss!!!!! kirk commands with his emotions but there's always some sort of level of control to it, or he transforms them into something that spurs on others or uses them to ascertain a goal: seeing unguarded fear/distress in his eyes even if its faint and brief (in this instance) makes me go insane every single time. like!!! its such a small moment!!! he isnt even panicking!!! really, he just got jumpscared!!! its insignificant!!!!!!! but seeing a two-second flash of actual, naked apprehension is just...oughhh,,,,,,,,,

oh god, and dont even get me started on the galileo seven episode where he assumes a tense level-headedness throughout the whole thing, irritated and apprehensive but not panicking, making sure he maintains intelligent rationality, even when he has to leave them behind, but when spock and the crew are confirmed safe and the bridge is occupied the camera pans to him and his eyes look like they're fucking watering and he's so achingly relieved. don't even talk to me. im. fuck.

he shows so so much but at the same time reveals so little.

#just had to write something about this because i loveeee seeing cool characters in distress. sorry but i need to see that boy PANICKING #im only on season 1 still so i dont know if there is a point where kirk openly seriously panics in the typical way #in high stress situations hes guarded but controlled #seeing him genuinely lose his nerve and start panicking would make me ouuughghgughg #like if he starts actually hyperventilating for kirk you know somethings so wronggg #but no yeah even if spock is injured or kirk is concerned about him he still shows that in the tense guarded high strung demeanor #same with spock really - his tone becomes tense and he uses jims name and its subtle but AAACKKK #i love the note of desperation being logical. that one episode is such a good exploration of spocks characer #i just think its interesting. to me it reads not only of kirks headstrong nature but also of his experience on taurus iv #not equipped for rambling #star trek tos #star trek #james kirk #jim kirk #captain kirk #kirk tos #hope this is right because im only just coming to the end of season 1 so #i love kirk so much though i cant even #hoping so so much ive interpreted him well #and that this makes sense. this is a ramble to the max. #he draws people into his orbit hes lively hes intelligent hes a burning whirl of passion and arhrthhhh

Society if Hikaru Sulu had character depth

#he's a charming and funny guy but he doesn't get too much exploration into his life #like. aos sulu has a husband and daughter. both unnamed #do any books focus on him and explore more of his life? or will i have to take this into my own hands #star trek #he likes old weapons he likes plants he's friendly and he's good friends with the other bridge crew #updates from cipher
