  • I’m feeling personally attacked here! I come down on the Boimler side here I think, and I’d hate to argue with Beckett but she’s wrong.

    All Star Treks are awesome in their own way and there all my Favourite. I can’t and I won’t be made to pick a series.

    Those Old Scientists era is where it all starts and nobody tackles those great social issues like they did.

    The Animated Series is so forking batshirt crazy and fun. And they brought us my bois, the Kizinti!

    The original cast movies brought Trek back from the repeats. Yes even numbers are better but five got me to ask “Why does god need a starship”

    The Next Generation really kicked it in to high gear and expanded the universe.

    DS9 - I wouldn’t recommend any long story format higher.

    Voyager - if I didn’t love Voyager Janeway would kick my ass.

    The TNG movies had some kick ass action and amazing space battles.

    Enterprise really explored the beginnings and had a lot of fun filling in the niches and contradictions.

    I could keep going on and on but it’s late and I’ll leave you with how I alway feel about Trek series. My favourite one is one that I’m watching right now





  • I’m really surprised that nobody’s mentioned The Last of Us yet. It really used the uncommon technique of changing POV to really suck me in to its storyline. Right from the start when Joel’s daughter dies in the tutorial it was a gut punch as I had ‘been’ her just a few minutes ago. But the whole story was so immersive I found by the end I was really engaged with the characters and their stories. Spoilers for the end of The Last of Us if you’ve not played or watched the series. In the last big action piece in the Fireflies Hospital on my first play through I shot both the nurses in cold blood because I was so upset about what was happening. I like to think of myself as a ok person, at least better then the kind of guy who’d do that but in the heat of the moment I was so angry I totally empathise with Joel and his desire to kill everyone threatening Elly.
