NEW: In celebration of the great new series #StarfleetAcademy, TrekRanks deep dives into the "Top 5 'Coming of Age' Episodes" in #StarTrek history! And you know what we find out? 'Coming of age' is not just about youth to adulthood, it's never-ending. Fun one!
🔊 www.trekranks.com/trekranks-podcast
Artwork for the 225th episode of TrekRanks featuring the "Top 5 'Coming of Age' Episodes." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an image of Mariner from "Crisis Point" fighting herself for therapy next to that, and Picard in a blue uniform from "Tapestry" in the upper right corner. IN the bottom right corner is Wesley Crusher (literally from an episode titled "Coming of Age") and the split screen shots in the center images of two young girls on couches with video monitors above their heads are from "Children of Mars." Between them is Worf getting pain-sticked in "Coming of Age." Underneath the words "Top 5 Coming of Age Episodes" across the center is an image from Vulcan in "Amok Time." As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

Massive underrated positive for #StarfleetAcademy, that no one is really talking about, is the return to a 16:9 aspect ratio for the series in contrast to the 1:1.85 used in broadcasting #SNW, #Picard & most of #Discovery. I get the temptation to make it all more cinematic, but it's on TV, you know?

The War College Mugatos and the Starfleet Academy Laplings! Love it! These banners hanging on the wall in the Gideon S. Turner Wing of #StarfleetAcademy are everything.
Five banners hanging on a wall in the Gideon S. Turner wing of Starfleet Academy. From left to right they are: a Mugato (the mascot of the War College), a War College banner (both of these banners are in light blue and black and grey), the center banner is a United Federation of Planets banner (in dark blue), and the final two banners (most in red) are Starfleet Academy and then a Laplings mascot banner.

Seeing "Kids These Days" immediately open with a sun-drenched, exposition-filled, recruitment walk-and-talk in a green, foreign land gave me all the nostalgic feels. The entire episode just felt bigger and grander than anything Trek has launched with in 10 years. And I love it! #StarfleetAcademy
Admiral Vance (holding a single ice cream), on the left, walks down a sandy path lined with thick green grass and trees on either side. It's very sunny. On the right, is Captain Nahla Ake (holding two ice creams, and licking some off her left wrist). She is wearing all white. (From Starfleet Academy's "Kids These Days.") Ben Sisko, on the right, stands over his son, Jake, and has his arm around him as they stroll from right to left. It's sunny and bright and there are trees and brush in the background and a covered wooden bridge overhead, and the bright open sky can be seen in the upper right corner. Jake is carrying a thin and barely visible fishing pole in his right hand. (From DS9's "Emissary.") Tom Paris (slightly blurry) is on the left wearing grey overalls and walking next Captain Janeway in standard Starfleet attire, as the stroll in front of a heavily wooded area, as the sun breaks through around them. (From Voyager's "Caretaker.") Hoshi Sato, wearing shorts and red top, strolls down a sandy path that is covered with sunlight and heavy palms and green shrubbery all around. A linen short-sleeved button-up shirt wearing Captain Archer walks with her on the right. (From Enterprise "Broken Bow.")

It's true. #StarfleetAcademy
A meme with a picture of Detective Rosa Diaz from the show "Brooklyn Nine Nine" holding a photoshopped image of new Klingon character Jay-Den Kraag from "Starfleet Academy," and the top image says: "I've only (edited) known about Jay-Den Kraag (end edit) for a day and a half..." And the bottom image (which is the same), says: "but if anything happened to him, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself." Hilarious! This is how I feel!

Way too many people are focused on the trolls right now and missing the fact that the early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Probably the most positive early #StarTrek reviews we've seen for a new series in this new era. And the praise is well deserved. Pretty damn cool! #StarfleetAcademy

NEW! It’s another classic “Scenes in Trek” topic as we head into white out conditions for the “Top 5 Scenes in the Snow.” There aren't THAT many scenes in the snow in Trek, and we cover a lot of ground, so the challenge to you is to let us snow what we missed!❄️🖖

On its birthday, with one image, what's your favorite DS9 episode?
It's Ben Sisko, as Gabriel Bell, and he doesn't like your hat. He is wear civilian clothes and standing in front of a wall with a fancy scoreboard calendar in the upper left corner that says "000 -- 9.02.24." There are also two flyers on the wall. Oh, yeah, and Sisko is pointing a big rifle at the camera.

If you start "Fissure Quest" at exactly 11:32:58 pm tonight, Boimler will scream "Holy (bleep)! We're all going to die!" just as 2026 begins.

No worries If you're late! You can start "The New Next Generation" at 11:54:25 & he'll do the same thing!

The perfect way to start 2026. #StarTrekLowerDecks

My DS9 re-watch has hit "Far Beyond the Stars" and the tears are already flowing. I couldn't even make it through the cold open. Just seeing Rene Auberjonois moving past Sisko's office, and then that beautiful exchange between Avery Brooks & Aron Eisenberg at the newsstand, & then Avery & Colm. 😢❤️🖖
Rene Auberjonois in a light grey suit and fedora, out of place, moving behind a window in a door, slightly obstructed. From DS9's "Far Beyond the Stars." On a busy street corner in the 1950s, Avery Brooks in a smart, grey suit and a fedora cap holds a small book, talking to Aron Eisbenberg, a newsie, wearing a cap, and holding up two hands in an animated, but friendly conversation. From DS9's "Far Beyond the Stars." Avery Brooks, in a smart, grey suit and hat and specs, smiling at Colm Meany, whose back is to the camera on the right side of the screen.
