Transporter_Room_3 , 5 months ago to Star Trek in When should I start showing someone new to Trek new shows?

When should you introduce her to the new shows?

After watching the old ones, of course!

Start with TOS, move on to the first set of movies, watch TNG, DS9 and Voyager, generations to nemesis, THEN you start on the new shows.

I mean, technically you could show in some kind of chronological order, but then she’s going to be frustrated by the differences in technology. Especially discovery. They reeeeeally wanted to be more high tech than anything else while still wanting to be set before most things we’ve seen. IMO, it’s very jarring and doesn’t work well. But I just ignore the “it’s before everything else” problem and it’s a decent show.

I’m certainly biased, but I feel shows should be shown in the order they aired, not the order they’re supposed to go according to Canon. They are a product of their time, for better or worse, and most issues I feel are more easily sidestepped if you view them as such, all together. Seeing the strings on the enterprise two episodes in a row is a lot easier when you don’t have to compare it with pike’s sexy hair modern cgi space battles.

Absolutely a good point!

It felt like it was for kids without being “childish” but also DEFINITELY felt like star trek.

I sincerely hope it does well, and continues for many seasons with fresh content.

That said, I don’t really like it. It’s too geared for children for me, but that is their target audience. It’s not really fair for me to judge a show when I am not their target audience.

Having said that, you know what’s coming.

I didn’t feel like Avatar: The Last Airbender was “too childish”, save for a few spots here and there, but this show feels different.

that’s okay, I don’t have to like it. But as a star trek fan, i want it to do well.

Transporter_Room_3 , 6 months ago to Star Trek in Let's remember some Star Trek games

HELLS YEAH! That game was my JAM

I was pretty young when I was introduced to star trek, and it started out with only the movies. I loved C&C Red Alert, so my parents got Armada for my dad and I to play, and I think I put in a good 1,000 hours into it before my dad even tried it out.

I played that game so much I think by the time I got a new computer I was giving myself ridiculous challenges to beat the computer opponents like scout class offense ships only, or “once superweapon ships are unlocked only use those no matter the price” or “no expanding the base”

Star Trek Armada, hands down the best Star Trek game I’ve played. I do like the feeling of captaining my own ship in Online, nothing beats the feeling of winning a war via RTS.

And now that I’m older, and have seen more Treks, read more books, and have a much greater knowledge of all things Star Trek, I’ve been wanting to replay but I can’t seem to locate my disc… I’ll have to check my digital providers to see if I can find it most likely.

I’d love to see a modern take on a 4X Star Trek. Flavor mods for Stellaris and Sins of a Solar Empire don’t cut it anymore.

Oooh hello sexy.

I was wondering if they had just sold all remaining stock to customers or to another business, and figured with all the prices I was seeing, it was the former.

Now I know what I want for my birthday

I have been kicking myself over not getting the eaglemoss collection when I had the chance.

I only have the tiny Akira. I wanted to get the xl enterprise e, but couldn’t justify the price tag to myself. Now if I can even find one they’re like 300 or more.

I hope these look and feel similar in quality!
