It feels unfair to all those people to put a kid on the bridge instead of an adult in the middle of their career.

It’s partially a testament to what a prodigy he’s supposed to be, but it’s also an artifact of Picard’s friendship with his mother and late father, and a soft character progression for both of them because up to that point no children were allowed on the bridge with him at all

Trek fans in that era got hung up on some weird stuff for sure. I knew several people who hated Neelix for basically the entire Voyager run mainly because of that one early episode where he acted jealously even though he got over it by the end of the episode lol

Wesley. Kes is boring

I am confused by the choice to have the Klingons look like the redesign. This is TOS era so surely they should look like TOS era Klingons, no?

In the DS9 episode “Trials and Tribble-ations” some of the cast time travel into the (legendary) TOS episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” and when asked why the Klingons from that era look different Worf only says “we don’t talk about it”

SNW takes place a number of years before that TOS episode, so perhaps we will learn what happens sometime in the future as SNW gets closer and closer to the start of TOS

Strange New Worlds continues to fit the Trek mold for me, and I am into it!

There were some elements of the story I found a little odd. I appreciate the nod to Star Trek III with Spock stealing the Enterprise, but it felt a little out of character for him

I think the new Klingon design is quite good, and holy cow the practical effects for them are incredible! Very reminiscent of 90s Trek Klingons with a hint of the look of Discovery Klingons. I wonder if we’ll see a canon explanation for why the TOS klingons largely don’t have the ridges beyond Worf’s “we don’t talk about it”

Pelia! Oh man I am so stoked to see more of her. What a cool character. I wish they had introduced her a little earlier, so we would already know she’s the chief inspector when she saunters onto the bridge, but I loved how she saw through their ruse instantly, and then invited herself to join their mission. Such a badass

I have not, it’s been a while since I’ve played sins, sounds like a fun excuse to revisit!

Interesting! I’ve played a bit of New Horizons and it’s amazing, if New Civilizations is even better I’ll definitely have to check that out

I’m not going back to reddit so “interacting” for me will be limited to if they come here

I bear ongoing users no ill will, I’ve just already deleted my account and I’m just not going to support reddit by using it anymore even as a lurker

Well I’m not going back to reddit even if this place fizzles out. Reddit has become way too corporate

There’s a really good star trek mod for Stellaris already, I wonder how this will compare to that

not sure I could stick to just one thing, I would be the captain that sometimes says something cool and the rest of the time embarrasses/annoys the bridge crew with the worst dad jokes

DS9 Trials and Tribble-ations

it's not an "episode" but Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

TNG Yesterday's Enterprise I've also always found to be an intriguing glimpse at an era we've never really seen otherwise

I saw most of TNG and all of Voyager and DS9 during their initial runs as a kid and to this day Voyager is still my favorite Trek series. It can be a little variable at times with guest writers, like the warp 10 thing, and the series finale manages to be one of the most anti-climactic of anything I’ve ever seen, but it had a real killer of an ensemble cast, a larger story, and a surprising amount of character development. And I know I already mentioned the cast but it’s hard not to love mama bear Janeway

My wife has always casually liked TOS but had never seen all of TNG or any of DS9 or VOY. We watched all of them together during lockdown. She liked them all, but Voyager was her favorite of the bunch, too
