A Final Unity! One of the best Trek games out there! I love how they managed to actually fit a real astrometrics puzzle within the context of a point and click adventure game.
If you’re a fan of Star Trek adventure games, make sure to give the new Star Trek: Resurgence a shot. It’s done by some ex-Telltale employees, and makes really good use of the genre to tell a fun Starfleet adventure off with a new ship and crew.
The TNG/DS9/VOY era was pretty famous for “Star Trek Director’s School” for the actors. Most main cast folks tried their hand at directing at least once or twice. (It’s fun when you notice it for the first time. Their characters usually have bit parts in the first episode they direct.) Jonathan Frakes (Riker) directed episodes have become known for their top-down “god shots” in a lot of episodes like Cause and Effect. observer.com/…/jonathan-frakes-on-his-journey-fro…
Star Trek: Prodigy. It’s the Nickelodeon show for kids who have never watched Star Trek. It features a cast of new alien species who find a mysteriously abandoned prototype Starfleet ship. The ship mistakes them as a batch of Starfleet recruits, and a holographic Janeway teaches them the basics of the Star Trek universe and things like the Prime Directive.
The Beastie Boy’s “Sabotage” exists at least in the Kelvin universe. It would follow that “Intergalactic” also exists in world of Star Trek. Therefore it follows that Amanda Grayson must have been enough of a fan of classical music to name her half-Vulcan son after a catchy Earth beat.
I love new Star Trek but the, “What’s your go to warp slogan?” banter feels a little like an indulgent writer’s room exercise. Each Captain had their own thing, but they never called too much attention to it on the classic shows. It was like their unique caffeine orders. Discovery’s banter with Saru felt authentic to that crew’s rapport, but the fact that it went on to become a Starfleet meme on Lower Decks and the cliffhanger ending of Picard is such an odd modern invention.
