Star Trek

They have quite a few guests lined up this year - the full list can be found here.

My wife recently started to show an interest in watching Star Trek. Previously she had seen The Wrath of Khan when she was single digits in age and not much else.

So far we have watched some of the first season of TOS and some other key episodes (still need to show her Mirror Mirror and The Trouble with Tribbles for sure, and probably episodes with Pike, which I think is starting to come up for us soon).

We watched a few episodes of TNG, for some reason Paramount through Amazon started us in the middle of season 3 instead of the season 1. She did not like how Wesley is treated on the show (she is a huge fan of Wil).

From there we moved to Voyager and are about half way through the second season. She is liking it, but not a fan of Neelix (I cannot wait to tell her he improves after Kes is gone) because of his jealousy towards anything that interacts with Kes. I have never finished watching all of Voyager myself, I think I am in season 6 or 7.

I watched all of Discovery (I think I finished anyway), the first Season of Picard, most of Strange New Worlds, and some of Lower Decks. Since she has said she wants to watch the new stuff with me I am doing my best to not watch it all so I have some new episodes with her.

At what point would you move from the old stuff to the new stuff to keep someone from being too confused? Or if confusion arises would you go back and watch the old stuff to answer questions? I know we will not watch Picard until we have gotten well into the Borg stuff in Voyager and some episodes of TNG dealing with it.

As usual, take these with a grain of salt, but...maybe?

Will the game be on Xbox Series X?

Will it be like civilization 6? I ask because the description it gives on Microsoft edge says this: Star Trek: Infinite is a 4X grand strategy video game developed by Argentinian studio Nimble Giant Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive. In Star Trek: Infinite, players take control of one of four Star Trek civilizations interstellar civilization on the galactic stage and are tasked with exploring, colonizing, and engaging minor nations and other major civilizations with diplomacy, trade, or warfare.

When does it come out? On Microsoft edge it says it will release in 2023 and if that’s true we only got a couple days left 😅🤣

I'm probably going to PlanetComicon in KC because some of my friends are going, and I noticed a couple of celebrities have been involved in Trek comics!

I've been meaning to start reading some comics but keep putting it off because the amount of series to choose from is a bit overwhelming for me. I suppose now is a better time to start never!

Is anyone here president of Paramount?

Everyone who has Netflix — or wants to sign up — be sure to watch all 20 episodes of STAR TREK: PRODIGY when it drops on Christmas Day! The more who watch all of them in the first few weeks, the better.

If enough people do so, who knows what the future holds… 🖖

With the imminent return of Prodigy, it's time to figure out where it will be found.

"That's easy," I hear you say. "Netflix!"

But we all know it's never that easy, don't we? Here's what we know so far:

Canada: CTV.ca and the CTV App.

France: France Télévisions channels and Okoo.

Iceland: Sjonvarp Simans Premium.

The Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Central and Eastern Europe: SkyShowtime.

Everywhere else: Netflix, I guess?

When in doubt, this link will hopefully lead you to accurate information.

If you discover any other unique situations that aren't listed here, please leave them below!

Somehow got my S.O. into Star Trek with Strange New Worlds. Yay! Great show.

It actually introduced and developed an interesting new species over time. I don't think we've seen that since the Kelpians?

Plus the villains were competent, which is a nice benefit
