Here's a good look at the Nebula-class USS Phoenix, as seen from the front in #StarTrekTNG's "The Wounded". This ship, so similar yet different from my beloved Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D, left a big impression on me when I first saw it in the early 90s.

These screenshots from #StarTrekTNG's "Lonely Among Us"⬆️ and "The Wounded"⬇️ nicely illustrate the changes made to the Enterprise-D bridge between seasons 1 and 4. Learn more @eas_trek:

Only one more month until I will be celebrating my 30th anniversary as a Trekkie on October 20th. If I could tell that 14-year-old boy what role #StarTrek would play in his life from that day onwards! Taking notes while watching Star Trek - best decision ever! :-)

I forgot to highlight the moment in #StarTrekTNG's "Lonely Among Us" where Livingston is actually trying to communicate (or is farting). The subtitles call it a "gurgle" but to me, it sounds more like a "blub". Well, Livingston certainly gets Data's attention! :-)

Notice how much Picard's ready room crystal has shrunk in size between #StarTrekTNG season 1's "Lonely Among Us"⬆️ and season 4's "The Wounded"⬇️. The prop must have fallen off the shelf a lot for all of the crystal spikes to have broken off...

The Veltan lust idol, seen in the recently released #StarTrekLowerDecks season 5 clip ⬅️, is a callback to the Veltan sex idol from #StarTrekTNG's "The Most Toys"➡️. I wonder what role it will play in the LD episode! It definitely has no fake Ferengi pearls! :-)

I like this shot in #StarTrekTNG's "The Wounded" where Troi is actually see working at her bridge console. This does not happen very often because she is usually assisting the Captain other ways, sensing an opponent's feelings our counceling him.

The black octagonal Octime plates get their biggest moment in the #StarTrekTNG episode "The Wounded"↗️ after they also appeared in a family video in "Future Imperfect"↖️ . On #StarTrekDS9, they are also seen in Sisko's quarters in "Crossfire"↙️ and "Blaze of Glory"↘️.

Here's a picture for each #StarTrekTNG season 1 episode in which Picard's fish tank appears. It's interesting how it changed over the course of 26 episodes! "Too Short a Season" (1x16) was filmed earlier but aired later. Can't wait to start season 2 tomorrow! Happy #StarTrekDay!

Version 4 of the dress uniform (to the left of it are seen version 2 from "Manhunt" and version 3 from "Sarek") debuts in #StarTrekTNG's "Data's Day" during the O'Brien wedding (3rd pic). It is seen much better a few episodes later in "Qpid" (4th pic).

The alley (filmed on the Paramount backlot) where Sisko and Bashir hide from the police in #StarTrekDS9's "Past Tense I"⬇️ is the same location where Harry Kim and Tom Paris hide from Starfleet Security in #StarTrekVOY's "Non Sequitur"⬆️, filmed less than a year later.

I love it when they filmed shots of the Romulan Warbird like that, with the camera filming through the hollow sections of the ship, focusing on something in the background, like here in #StarTrekTNG's "Data's Day"⬆️ and #StarTrekDS9's "The Die is Cast"⬇️.

If you're old, like me, you might remember that once ubiquitous anti-piracy ad ("You wouldn't steal a car"), seen on many DVDs before the actual feature. Well, turns out it was filmed in Sanctuary District A (#StarTrekDS9's "Past Tense I+II"➡️).

Picard's ready room fish tank is finally redecorated with numerous live corals in #StarTrekTNG's "Too Short a Season". They can be seen gently moving back and forth - and Livingston loves it! Quite the difference to earlier eps (2nd pic: "The Battle"⬅️, "Too Short a Season"➡️).

Here are several shots of the ready room inside a Romulan Warbird in #StarTrekTNG's "The Defector"↙️, "Tin Man"↘️ and "Data's Day"↗️. I always assumed this was the warbird bridge but that set (in the season 2-4 appearance! ) only appears in "Contagion"↖️.

After a no-show in #StarTrekTNG's "The Naked Now", "Haven" and "Where No One Has Gone Before", Livingston and Picard's fish tank are seen several times in "Lonely Among Us". It seems some small details were changed around in the episode, the final shot is my favourite, by far!

I love the recurring theme or metaphor of the blue Solum flower, standing for the beauty/destruction of Solum and the relationship between Ilthuran and Gwyn in #StarTrekProdigy. It first appears when the Diviner shows Gwyn her homeworld on the holodeck in "A Moral Star II". 1/7

For a few episodes in mid season 4 of #StarTrekTNG, Livingston was mysteriously not played by a red lionfish (Pterois volitans), as usual ("BoBWII"↖️, "Suddenly Human"↗️, "Qpid"↘️) but by a radial firefish (Pterois radiata), ("Data's Day"⬅️, "Devil's Due"➡️, "First Contact"↙️).🤔

I first heard about T-cells when I watched #StarTrekTNG's "Genesis" as a kid. It made me interested in immunobiology and genetics, which led to me becoming a biology teacher. It was Ogawa's unborn child that helped fight the T-cell virus in the episode and now Patti Yasutake has died from a rare form of T-cell lymphoma. She will always be part of my curriculum from now on! #RIP, Patti Yasutake!

Meet Grom, the first (clearly identified as) female Lurian, recurring in season 2 of #StarTrekProdigy (here: Ascension I"). Just as talkative as Morn, just as hairless. Both qualities are recurring jokes. No need to "but actually, Lurians DO have hair", capiche?

I love that USS Voyager-A both can have high-tech isolinear circuitry behind wall panels (#StarTrekProdigy's "Last Flight of the Phoenix II"⬇️) but then also some rather low-tech cables and switches ("Ascension I"↖️↗️). Tom Paris' influence? ;-)

Does anybody know what the food in Zero's small cup with the Starfleet delta lid may be? It's seen in several #StarTrekProdigy season 2 episodes. I always thought this was some sort of Starfleet-approved yoghurt but here in "Ascension I" it looks like beans. 🤔
