I could be wrong but I’m sure Kes gave them a warning about the whole thing and to avoid that region of space. I also enjoyed the episode Nemesis. I remembered bits about it but totally forgot how it all played out. The ending came as quite a surprise, as did Chakotay’s reaction when seeing one of the aliens on Voyager. Yeah they kind of dropped the ball with Kes telling them about Year of Hell. I think there might be one throwaway line but even that I'm not sure on. One of the relaunch Voyager books revisits all the Krenim stuff so I might be thinking of that. 1 1
Cube Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 The biggest issue with Year of Hell is how the episode is ruined and rendered irrelevant by the ending. At least one person should have remembered it. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 At the end of the episode Random Thoughts, Seven asked Janeway something that I've also been wondering. Why in the hell do they keep going off course to investigate random planets and different species? I'm with Seven on this one. Unless you need supplies then just concentrate on bombing your way home. Also, stop crusing along at warp 5-6 and start hitting those high end speeds. No wonder they estimated it would take 70 odd years to get home.

Higher warp decreases the dylithium quicker and the engines can’t handle it for a sustained time. I’m happy enough with them still wanting to be “Starfleet” and explore. It’ll still gonna take decades regardless. Plus they aren’t gonna find any other, quicker ways back if they ignore everything. They get flung forward a few times during the trip and never would have managed that if they’d stuck to one straight path, ignoring everything else.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Message in a Bottle...fantastic episode. I remember liking it back in the day but I forgot how good it was. The Prometheus is a hell of a ship. Shame we never got to see it in action in a DS9 episode. 1

mr_bogus Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I'm halfway through S7 now, missed most of that season back in the day (it was the year I moved to UK). Some good episodes but a fair amount of filler too. Then they suddenly reach the last episode and "oh crap we have to finish it now, and we only have a double episode left... um... Spoiler ok Janeway from the future comes back with cheat codes. Done" Edited March 25, 2021 by mr_bogus spoiler tag
Hero-of-Time Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I started season 5 this evening. The end of season 4 was kinda flat. Usually the season finales lead to something but here it was simply Starfleet saying that Voyager was screwed and on their own. I have been enjoying the constant fighting between Seven and Janeway. I do wonder if these scenes are so good due to the off screen antics that were going on. Seven has been great to watch. Sure, she’s easy on the eyes but I was talking more about how she always questions orders. The scene where she faces Janeway and tells her that she was freed from the collective to be an individual and yet she’s constantly getting told to get in line...great stuff and a valid point. Seven also has some hilarious lines. When she is supposed to distract the robot in Tom’s black and white holodeck novel had me howling. She simply said “I am Borg” and then ripped it’s circuits out.
Happenstance Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 ......I.......hmmmmm.......well.......that was.........sure something

Cube Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 so much great looking Star Trek stuff. Hopefully we'll get a Strange New Worlds teaser as well. Lower Decks has been confirmed for season 3.

Could be Star Trek Online (but he's a regular in that anyway), one of the mobile games or an unannounced one.
Ronnie Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Terrible "trailer", but intriguing concept. All Good Things is my favourite episode of Trek ever so maybe this will live up to that high bar. Edited June 16, 2021 by Ronnie

Cube Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Both look great, I love the look of the USS Protostar.
Happenstance Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) https://www.gog.com/partner/startrek Load of Star Trek games added to gog.com today. Lot of my favourites so I think I’ll have to buy them all! Edited September 8, 2021 by Happenstance 1
Happenstance Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 The current Star Trek litverse is coming to an end with three final books that are going to tie up that universe and make way for the new continuity created by Discovery, Picard etc. I've really enjoyed this universe they created as the books and stories tied in together. It really was like the shows were getting extra seasons. I've just bought the first book in this final trilogy. Should probably wait until I get home to start reading it but it's quiet at work at the moment and I have the Kindle app on my PC so I'm sure I can get a few chapters in without anyone noticing
