I would classify all of those titles as clickbait and ignore them. I play and enjoy both games, and both have their place.

I sometimes feel like I was the only kid that always tried to make sure my citizens were taken care of as well as I could!

I don’t think they usually worry too much about continuity. They’ll try to make things line up and explain inconsistencies sometimes, but there’s a lot of times the writers say “wibbly wobbly, timey wimey” and try to tell a fun story without being locked into things. Seeing that approach for so many years is probably why I normally don’t mind the inconsistencies between the various Star Trek shows!

They could definitely figure out a way to make it work! It could be pretty fun, and I would at least have a big grin on my face when I first saw the TARDIS on the Enterprise bridge!

And yes, I’ve noticed that too. The world of Doctor Who wouldn’t be a great place to live compared to Star Trek, at least from what we’ve been shown. Even the tone of the episodes is often darker, there are quite a few classic and modern episodes that are just family friendly horror. Trek has done some of that over the years, but it seems Who leans into it more, or at least I notice it more!

It would make a lot of people annoyed, and open up a huge number of issues with trying to match up timelines, but… I would watch a crossover. I would probably enjoy it too, as long as they had a good story to tell with it! I would think it would be best done as a streaming movie or something though.

I thought it was pretty interesting. Of course first episodes are usually weighed down a little by setting everything up, but it seemed they did a pretty good job of it anyway.

Even though I don’t know any of the actors other than the former Trek actors and Wrenn Schmidt, the accents and voices are fortunately different enough that it’s not hard to keep up with so far. I do hope they don’t expand the cast too much farther though, or they could risk more casual listeners being unable to keep track of the various characters.

Khan is definitely not on my list of things I would like Star Trek to focus on, but I hope this series does well enough that they consider doing some more varied stories within the format in the future. And of course I plan on continuing to listen to this one too, and I hope they tell some interesting stories.

Already finished! It was pretty interesting, I’m looking forward to the rest of them.

I originally wondered about that when BlueBrixx lost their license. I can’t imagine how much they’ll cost, but I’m curious to see what sets they do.

American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 at the moment, finally with head tracking! It’s so much better, to the point that I would find it hard to go back.

Yeah, that is sad. I enjoy seeing futuristic aliens and ships too, but I guess I’ve never really understood why a lot of these shows have to look like movies now. I would be perfectly happy to see them cut those fancy effects way back and spend some of that money on some good writers to make a few more episodes. I’ve found I very rarely remember how good the CGI monster or alien building looked, but I often remember what the characters said.

No, I’m not as old as I sound! ;-)

All of the above! ;-)

Seriously though, I just like to give things a try before deciding for myself what I think of it.

It is a hot take, I know! 😂

We’ve seen basically nothing of it other than a short trailer, so it’s way too early for anyone to be deciding whether it’ll be good or not! I’m planning to give it a try, just like I have with every other Trek show so far. If I like it, I’ll continue watching. If I don’t, I won’t!

I personally like 1/2/4! I guess the best way to put it is that none of the Trek movies, even my favorites, have really stuck with me like my favorite episodes have.

From the information I’ve seen of it, I think I would have liked Phase II better than the movies they did instead. That being said, the movies probably brought the franchise to a lot of people it may not have reached with another show. So TNG and the later shows may have been a lot lower budget or maybe not made all.

That would be an intriguing idea, and animation would be a good way to do it too! I would usually prefer that they go the new ship and new crew route, but if they tell stories I’m interested in I would be happy to see it.

I’ve thought about having a more serious animated series in the franchise, and I think it could work. There would of course be a group of people that wouldn’t watch because it’s not live action, but depending on how they do it the costs could be a fair amount less too.

My head hurts just looking at this one! 😂

I haven’t being following news on this show too closely since it’s still a way out, so maybe this has been mentioned elsewhere. I noticed that the Klingon character has a pretty similar ridge structure to Worf and family, especially with Worf’s updated look from Picard. Might just be a coincidence though.

I dug my sim racing gear back out recently and have been putting in quite a few hours into the rallycross mode on Dirt Rally 2.0! I’m currently trying to tell myself that I normally only do this for a month or two a year, and that I don’t need to buy a sim cockpit to do it with! 😂 Although I could use it for American and Euro Truck Simulator, so maybe worth it.
