https://t.co/97cYEtPDkD has launched! Dedicated to #Starfleet uniforms from #StarTrek: TOS, with a series of articles planned.

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

https://t.co/kREpyxMozV launched TEN YEARS ago today! There hasn't been any new content in a while, but that doesn't mean there won't be. 😉 Meanwhile, I am delighted that Trekkers still find it to be a useful resource as we approach STAR TREK's 60th anniversary! 🚀🎉

Happy First Contact Day! 😎🚀

His Majesty referring to Artemis II as a "bold mission" was a wonderful choice of words, as they boldly go farther than man has ever gone before! 🇨🇦🇺🇸🚀

[Canadian Space Agency @csa_asc]

King Charles III sent a letter to @Astro_Jeremy to acknowledge Canada’s role in the Artemis II mission.

“I was deeply touched to receive this message, which honours the collective vision and dedication behind this historic moment.” — Jeremy Hansen

HAPPY 95th BIRTHDAY, Mr Shatner! 🎉

[William Shatner @WilliamShatner]

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝

I’ve learned two things:

Never waste a good cigar.
Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

St Patrick's Day is Captain Kirk's least favourite holiday. Something about a LepreKHHHAAAAAANNNNN!!! 🍀😬

[William Shatner @WilliamShatner]

11 years ago we lost Leonard. 😔

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

As am I, as a proud Canadian. 🇨🇦🇬🇧 God Save the King! 👑

[William Shatner @WilliamShatner]

Why? Is the US going to take the King and Queen into custody? 😉 You forget that I am a subject of the King.🤷🏼

This is a new link for the #StarTrek #fanfilm I did #VFX for: "Farragut 2024," part of the Starship Farragut/Farragut Forward series of films. It was re-uploaded to make some important corrections to the closing credits. https://t.co/xapJanx0s5

... I just hope "Khan" doesn't end up following the trend of prequels that take well-known villains and dilute them with some "he's not evil, just misunderstood" nonsense.

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

Is everyone looking forward to "Star Trek: Khan" episode 2 this Monday, or are you so-so about it?

Being "based on" a story by Nicholas Meyer hooked me immediately, and I am liking its potential as a tale that bridges TOS to TWOK from an "other" point of view!

Star Trek prematurely releasing its 60th anniversary logo on the date of its 59th anniversary seems like a weird corporate leapfrogging over the celebration at hand -- but I like the design, and I want one as a lapel pin in 2026!

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

Mr Shatner gets it right! 😎🇨🇦🚀

[William Shatner @WilliamShatner]

I hear it’s the 59th anniversary of that little space show I did all those years ago. BTW it was the 59th anniversary two days ago in 🇨🇦. #TheyGotItFirst 😉😝

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

@Ladieswhotrek And John Colicos: the 3rd Canadian actor honoured by Canada Post in their 50th Anniversary stamp collection. 🍁 Kor was desired as a recurring character in TOS (including in "Day of the Dove"); it didn't happen only due to conflicts with his other filming commitments.

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

STAR TREK first aired 59 years ago on September 6, 1966, on CTV in Canada. 🇨🇦📺🎉 The rest is history! 🖖🚀

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

@SubcommanderT @inglorioustrek The crew-necks never did it for me either. Clearly they were dressing down the monster maroons, but it gave the mismatched impression of wearing a t-shirt under a suit jacket. If anything, switching to a non-quilted turtleneck would have harmonised with later uniform designs.

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

@al6244225 @SubcommanderT @inglorioustrek Yes, collars in TWOK were made with an out-of-production "trapunto machine" that reportedly blew them full of thread using a special hollow needle that was itself already so rare, they only had one. However, many perfectly good replicas have since been made with other methods. :)

[Canadian Kirk @CaptJChase]

William Shatner is writing a book about... us!? 😮
Cool! 😎👍
