Interesting! That would definitely be a different way to enjoy the shows.

You're not the only one! I like it better than most of the other Star Trek movies.

Yeah, you definitely want to get them watching! I get what you're saying though, so many other things going on other than watching a show.

Yes, The Ascent is a good one! My spouse and I really enjoy that one. Quark and Odo are great. In the Cards is a fun episode too!

I was in a DS9 mood this week!
- DS9 2x08 Necessary Evil
- DS9 2x22 The Wire - The Delta Fliers podcast just did this episode with special guest Andrew Robinson, so I decided to watch it before I listened. Robinson's acting is great in this one!
- DS9 2x25 Tribunal
- DS9 3x03 The House of Quark
- DS9 3x05 Second Skin

I'm afraid I wouldn't have the patience for that! Do they have any good points in the video?

I enjoyed that game! It feels like Star Trek too, which is something that a lot of the other games don't achieve.

- SNW 2x09 Subspace Rhapsody
- SNW 2x10 Hegemony
Subspace Rhapsody seems to be a very divisive episode in the fandom, but I really enjoy it! I'm really not a musical fan, but it works for me.

I know it's an overused question in a lot of places, but it hasn't been asked here in quite a while. I'm curious to see what the preferred Star Trek shows are in the group here. Whether you want to just list your favorite show, do a complete ranking of all the shows, or something in between, I'm interested to know! This is my current top five show list: - Deep Space Nine - Star Trek - Strange New Worlds - The Next Generation - Lower Decks It gets difficult for me to rank past that point, so I usually stop there.
I finally decided to order a box of the Strange New Worlds trading cards, and they just showed up today! I always enjoyed opening packs of baseball cards, so it was a lot of fun seeing what all I got. These are the five "extra special" cards I got, and I also had around 10 other non base set cards in the box as well.  I don't know if I'll buy another box or not, but I would like to get some autograph cards of the main cast. I know trading cards aren't worth it to many people, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of things like this!

I bought the BlueBrixx Enterprise model a little while back, and I was waiting until today to put it together! So I'm going to do that and probably watch an episode or two of something. Maybe the 25th anniversary episodes. 
[lemmy.zip/c/star_trek](https://lemmy.zip/c/star_trek) [!star_trek@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/c/star_trek) I'm trying to get the Star Trek community on Lemmy.zip back up and running. Stop by if you're looking for a place to chat about Star Trek!
Have you watched any Star Trek since last week? I'm thinking of doing a weekly post like this where people can drop the Star Trek shows, movies, or print media that they've consumed in the past week, as well as their thoughts on them.
Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself as the new moderator of the community and give a general idea of what I'm hoping to do. Demigodrick was looking for someone to take over and I figured I would give it my best shot! I've been a Star Trek fan since I was around 12 or 13, and I've watched quite a bit of it in the intervening years! This is my current top five show list: - 1 - Deep Space Nine - 2 - Star Trek - 3 - Strange New Worlds - 4 - The Next Generation - 5 - Lower Decks I like to collect models of the various ships, and I have a few other collectibles as well. Over the next couple of days I'll be making some adjustments as I try to get things up and running again. I'm thinking of trying a weekly post asking what episodes people are watching and maybe another one or two depending on the engagement. Is there anything that you would like to see here? I'm hoping to revive the community and make it an interesting place!
We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta. What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

At least Paralives is still supposed to released, and my copy of The Sims 3 still works as well!
