Nick, that's encouraging. Last week's episode started out poorly and then became "OK." The two or three prior episodes I could have done without. (Though I did like the parody of ST-OS at the beginning of one of the episodes of ST:SNW). This one I'm hoping will be better!

By Tom Lusco (Tlusco) on Friday, August 15, 2025 - 11:50 am: Edit

Discovery was so frustrating. High production values, a few really interesting characters (Saru, Lorca were compelling and some of the best character design in ST). The negatives overwhelm the good though--such poor plotting, over the top emotionality, obnoxious levels of representation without justification. All that aside from the main character, and there's a laundry list of problems surrounding her.

The one redeemer: it introduced Pike and No.1, and that got us SNW. SNW is more up than down, and while I wish they told more standalone stories, its a solid watch and holds up on rewatch. Its the one TV show I make time for every week while its being released.

Reading all the comments, maybe they should rename all the series "Galaxy Quest"

hah lets not insult the GQ community

There is a new Franchise-licenced PC game on the way, titled Star Trek: Voyager - Across The Unknown.

It is set to offer players their own paths forward, in terms of charting a course for NCC-74656 USS Voyager across the Delta Quadrant.

Personally, I wonder if it offers the choice of "settling down" at the planet of the "37s", and attempting to build up a "pocket Federation", Federal Republic of Aurora-style.

But then, maybe a future game in which I could actually play as the FRA would be even better!

This just came out. Incredibly moving (and fixes a gross injustice):

All I can say is "wow." That was so well done. Plenty of AI to make it happen, but I didn't care. Masterpiece.

By Vincent Solfronk (Vsolfronk) on Friday, September 05, 2025 - 11:50 am: Edit

Actually it seems like this came out last year? I just missed it.

By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Saturday, September 06, 2025 - 01:29 pm: Edit

Awesome

By Robert Russell Lender (Rusman) on Saturday, September 06, 2025 - 02:41 pm: Edit

It's very good. But I'm not sure I understand what the point of the story is.

Kirk and Spock are just waking up in the afterlife or what?

By Ted Fay (Catwhoeatsphoto) on Saturday, September 06, 2025 - 07:32 pm: Edit

I saw it as a vignette on the importance and value of friendship, and that its true value may be unappreciated until near death.

I also thought they may have been setting up some new Trek movie or series.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, September 06, 2025 - 09:48 pm: Edit

It’s a powerful emotional experience, I don’t think it’s intended to make sense or tell a story. It felt to me the same as the various times in my life that I was summoned to say goodbye to a grandparent, parent, aunt, uncle, or family pet. I think everyone has had such an experience, which is why this vignette felt so powerful. The times I wasn’t summoned, or didn’t get there in time, or nobody knew the death was coming somehow felt hollow and incomplete.

By Vincent Solfronk (Vsolfronk) on Saturday, September 06, 2025 - 10:30 pm: Edit

It is made to be added to after Kirk "dies" in Generations, to give his death a little more meaning.

By Gary Carney (Nerroth) on Monday, September 08, 2025 - 03:47 pm: Edit

The first episode of a new Franchise audio series, Star Trek: Khan, has been posted online.

New episodes are set to be released each Monday, from now until the 3rd of November.

And also: officially-licenced Franchise LEGO is on the way.

By Dan Bivona (Admiraldan) on Tuesday, September 09, 2025 - 10:07 am: Edit

As someone who is big fan of LEGO - I absolutely MUST have Star Trek LEGO in my house!

By Nick Blank (Nickgb) on Tuesday, September 09, 2025 - 11:10 am: Edit

I am still waiting to see what the sets will be. The only thing I have seen is the leaked pics of the Next Gen Enterprise-D., but no actual details yet beyond the fact that they are doing them.

By Dan Bivona (Admiraldan) on Tuesday, September 09, 2025 - 02:04 pm: Edit

I've heard about the Enterprise-D as well. Personally, I would love to see the Defiant.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 - 01:02 pm: Edit

Dan, I agree. I am clearing the decks for those sets! For franchises, I haven't really seen a bad set. Of course, mine are mostly the botanicals, but I did Rivendell.

By Mike Erickson (Mike_Erickson) on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 - 02:15 pm: Edit

I hope LEGO offers a nice Klingon ship.

Good for a laugh...

Final episode of season three of Strange New Worlds dropped yesterday. It's quite good, and oh boy, it gets you right in the feels.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Monday, September 15, 2025 - 03:26 pm: Edit

Strange New Worlds doing a Dr. Who Crossover.

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Monday, September 15, 2025 - 03:46 pm: Edit

TOS did it in Assignment: Earth (don't tell me that Gary Seven wasn't a Doctor).

By Dal Downing (Rambler) on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - 11:25 pm: Edit

Gary wasn't a timellord. He was forerunner of the temporal cops. i think they were retcoonning him to be one of Wesleys Travillers.

The cat though...

By Dal Downing (Rambler) on Monday, September 22, 2025 - 12:05 am: Edit

Was just watching ST:VOY S7:13 Repentance. The Nygean Prisoner Barge at the beginning is a ISC Star Cruiser. =')

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Monday, September 22, 2025 - 08:15 am: Edit

The semblance is truly striking.

By Ted Fay (Catwhoeatsphoto) on Monday, September 22, 2025 - 10:57 am: Edit

Some differences, to be sure, but it's definitely strongly reminiscent. Nice catch!

By Gary Carney (Nerroth) on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 - 10:16 pm: Edit

A new gameplay trailer has been posted for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown.

I should note that the game is set for release on console, as well as on PC, should anyone here be so interested.

No word just yet on how, or if, the PC version might run on Steam Deck, however.
