I’d love to see a Trek game by a competent adventure dev like Wadget Eye. Hopefully Resurgence will be good, but I’ll not be holding my breath; most recent Trek games have been low quality cash-grabs, bulging with microtransactions.
Thank you for the correction, I remember reading about the Epic exclusivity now. I look forward to picking it up when it goes on sale! Such is my way. I knew there was a solid Star Trek Stellaris scene, but I’m just a dabbler in 4x games. My favorite Trek games are probably A Final Unity and the Interplay TOS adventures from 30 years ago.
Edited to add, Bridge Crew is moderately fun as a single player game. Would probably be a blast with a group of friends.
I share your dismay w/r/t the ‘origin story’ trope, and started typing a much more cynical comment. But it’s not like you can’t tell a good story within those parameters. Plenty of good prequels exist. And lots of people were not big fans of Picard’s efforts to advance the timeline.
The determining factor for me will be the quality of the writing. I haven’t seen this Black Mirror episode, but I’ll check it out.
Honestly, that aspect of DS9 did put me off when it first aired, but in my defense I was a kid. I don’t think I got around to watching the whole series until sometime in my 30’s. I also think my JLP-lovin’ kid self thought it was total bullshit that Sisko held Picard responsible for the crimes of Locutus.
My wife once stuck her hand out the car window, and a butterfly landed on it. Separately, I witnessed a squirrel waving at her. Some people lead charmed lives.
As someone who despised Discovery, and avoided Picard, I’d recommend checking out SNW at a minimum. Lower Decks is also great, but I get it if the jokes and aesthetics don’t appeal to you. SNW ain’t perfect, but it’s well worth watching. Definitely on par with older Trek shows.
I get the burnout and the alienation, I’ve felt the same. But I think you’re doing yourself a disservice by letting Disco and Picard put you off of all the new shows. Anyhow, good luck 🖖!
it’s not really representative of the tone of SNW. The screenshots are from an episode where two characters from Lower Decks (the animated series) end up in the live-action SNW universe.
I’ve heard that white people smell like bologna. Could never stand the stuff myself, but I can’t vouch for my scent! Tangentially, I think my dogs’ paws smell like salami. “Ol’ salami paws”, I’ve been known to call them.
I’m happy that it introduced some new people to Star Trek. I think the diversity and representation on the show really resonated with some people, and made them feel more seen. I think these positive things it did probably outweigh any weaknesses the show had, in a larger perspective.
Personally, many elements of the writing, directing, and cinematography of the show really rubbed me the wrong way. It is, in my view, more akin to a Young Adult series than any previous iterations of Trek. It’s definitely an intentional appeal to younger viewers, and I feel like it probably succeeded in that. It’s not for me, but that’s ok.
