🕵️‍♂️ This must be the #podcast version of a musician hearing their song on the radio for the 1st time!

Episode 1 of #ThePrimeDetective may cause you to reconsider that vanity licence plate when one woman’s tag puts her on the hook for THOUSANDS in fines.

A man with short gray hair and a trimmed beard stands on a sunny street corner holding up a smartphone. He is wearing a light gray T-shirt and white wireless earbuds. The phone screen displays the podcast artwork for “The Prime Detective,” showing the title and episode information: “The Phantom Crimes of NCC-1701.” Behind him, cars are stopped at an intersection lined with trees, streetlights, and brick buildings under a clear blue sky.

My little neighborhood standing in for Savannah, GA today. Complete with fake Spanish moss in the trees! I THINK this is for the new “Cape Fear” Apple TV show. #Yallywood

“Melissa & Adam Cocina Vacsa” sits beneath mature trees draped with Spanish moss, giving the street a coastal-southern appearance. The mural of a white bull is visible on the left wall, and the restaurant’s warm lighting glows through its windows. Parked cars line the curb in the foreground. To the right, nearby storefronts include one with an orange façade. It is dusk, with the sky pale and trees casting long shadows.

A corner brick building at street level in downtown Decatur, Georgia, has been dressed to resemble a restaurant called “Melissa & Adam Cocina Vacsa.” The name appears in white block letters on a large black awning that extends over glass doors and windows. Warm interior lighting reveals a bar and hanging lights inside. The original business sign for The White Bull is not visible. On the side wall, there is a large mural of a white bull’s head painted on dark brick. Several pedestrians walk by on the sidewalk; one man wears black clothes and a hat, and a woman walks beside him. Evening light is visible in the sky.

A nighttime photo showing a sidewalk scene with storefronts lit by streetlights. A rack covered in hanging Spanish moss stands on the sidewalk beside orange traffic cones and a pink sandwich-board sign that reads, “BUSY MAKING ‘WOW’ HAPPEN. Keep shopping and dining while the magic happens. Downtown businesses are open.” A large yellow pointing-finger emoji graphic and the words “MOSS RACK” are digitally overlaid on the photo, indicating the rack. The moss appears to be part of set dressing for a nearby film or TV production. Two pedestrians walk past under streetlights.

A closer nighttime view of the moss rack shown previously. The rack is made of shiny metal poles arranged vertically and horizontally, with bundles of Spanish moss draped across it. Several orange traffic cones are placed around the setup, one labeled “DPW STREET.” Behind the rack, equipment carts and scaffolding are visible, along with the same pink “Busy Making WOW Happen” sign. The photo is taken on a city sidewalk beside a brick wall, with low yellow light illuminating the scene.

I can’t wait for Starfleet Academy as it looks great, but I can definitely wait for the discourse. I assume the Fandom Menace have already decided to hate it, so can we just try to keep their hate on the sites they use. We don’t need to screenshot all their bullshit from Facebook, Twitter & YouTube.

So... is this kind of like the AEU's Kelvin timeline? I thought AVP was definitely not canon, but the Weyland-Yutani logo is like, right there.

So glad y’all are back! Some of my favorite analysis of Trek in poddom! It’s going to be fun revisiting SNW S3 with you two.

Ship Full of Jerks Podcast @shipfullofjerks.bsky.social · 13d

We're starting a new run of episodes reviewing this season of SNW. This week we take on the conclusion to Hegemony. Then Ryan watched Murderbot and Mark watched Alien:Earth but neither of us wanted to sit through the other. So, we spoil them for each other while discussing their similar themes!

And Now For The Conclusion…

It's been a long time in the making, and now, my take on a Trek #podcast is live! 🕵️‍♂️ "The Prime Detective" is a weekly #TrueCrime meets #SciFi, short form, documentary series about what happens when real-life meets 'the final frontier.' Subscribe here: apple.co/3KzUkN7 or most podcast places.
