Cardassians are basically Redditors. They hate the Space Jews, think it's appropriate for Garak to date a teenage girl, and practice negging-based courtship.

Bajorans are NOT Space Jews. They have no industry, they have no worthwhile food, their culture pervades nowhere and is the foundation of no other cultures. Please don't be so offensive. Bajor's own mis-management of Bajor is not akin to a Genocide. The Cardassians tried to save the Bajorans and when they had enough of the suicide bombings of their industrial works projects designed to stop the famine and left, Bajor went out and founded an indefensible New Bajor colony across the worm hole, in the middle of another year of crop failure on the homeworld mind you, that was wiped out allegedly by the Jem'Hadar, but you and I both know New Bajor got caught up in another fevered season of prayer and not planting so it was a New Famine on New Bajor that claimed them.

Please don't be so offensive. In all seriousness, the Bajorans were originally (in the early Ensign Ro stuff) a stand-in for Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Someone eventually realized, hmm, maybe we should not represent Israel as a nation of scheming reptilians who lust for the suffering of these gentle farmers!!! And so Bajorans kind of shifted to represent the abstract idea of Oppressed People.

The problem with Bajorans in DS9 (and the Ro episode where she left Starfleet) was that it always felt like an entire planet with about 35 people living in it. I understand that they were supposed to be decimated by the Cardassians, but it felt like overkill. I think it was sort of the problem with lots of things from TNG onward: the ships never felt like housed more than a few dozen people instead of 1200, and the planets felt like they all had one major city with a few hundred residents. I suppose a lot of that was budget, but it's distracting. Did TOS have their special effects redone? I watched it as a kid with my parents, but when TNG came along I never went back and got into TOS. I set up a series recording in my DVR and a week ago watched The Doomsday Machine, and the effects were distracting. It looked like CGI, but somehow still plastic and with the weird "nose down" way the ships flew.

Most streaming sites only have that version, I think the only way to watch the original versions is with the old DVDs or the newer blu-Ray sets.

If you go on Netflix you'll see the "enhanced" special effects edition. As some one who grew up watching the original, it neither helps nor harms the original show, but in "Doomsday Machine" it does add some context and breadth to what's going on. This was a network TV show from the 1960s. You got what you got and it was serviceable. If you wanted spectacular you'd have to spend millions like "2001" or wait ten years for "Star Wars".

I understand that they were supposed to be decimated by the Cardassians, but it felt like overkill. The dominion war in DS9 had the same problem. You see Sisko pull up to a sweet rear end fleet of like 50 ships and they get into this huge fight with like 70-80 ships on screen (most are super tiny background ships) and then some character drops a line like "There are 2,100 Dominion Ships! We are outnumbered 2 to 1" So there were like 3,000 ships fighting? Same thing about how 800,000,000 Kardashians were killed by Jem Hadar. All you ever see of Kardassia is a dingy street corner, someones house and a couple dudes standing on the same ledge overlooking the same skyline, but it was a world of Billions? We met like 6 Kardashians.

To save an exhaustive explanation of a dumbass game, the short version is that you pay money for better characters. You start with lovely ones that can't do much but can roll for Nagus Rom or Commando Janeway or some poo poo that have high stats in certain areas. BUT to level them up you need special items from special missions you can only run so many times (unless you pay money) AND you can increase their quality, but only if you have more of the same character (which cost money.) To effectively run all the missions to level your characters you need even more characters with different stats. Aside from all of that there is zero actual gameplay, you just click "Complete mission." 100% of the gameplay is leveling up the various characters. So of course that's why people have like $400 six star Grand Nagus Roms and poo poo.

I'm watching Metamorphosis right now and boy, they really took some liberties with the Zephrym Cochrane character in First Contact. Also, the know-it-all daughter from Father Knows Best is a whiny pain in the rear end in any universe, it seems.

STO is really, really easy. Just bind all your phasers and torpedos to one button, flying in a circle, presenting your shields at their strongest point and mash the button until the mission complete text pops

The old adventure games were pretty fun. I especially liked the TOS, Interplay ones. (25th anniversary&judgement rites) They felt like they could be episodes really (as far as I remember them at least) and there was no single way to get to the goal but you got the most points to act as "Federation" as possible. The CD versions also had all lines voice acted by the original actors. TNG also had one I never really got the chance to play through, but from what I remember, it was pretty decent too.

That TNG point and click game was pretty cool when I played it. I never got very far though. I kept wanting to set my phaser to kill to try and clear debris off of people, or shoot that space probe thing that couldn't die and kept shooting Geordi in the face or whatever.

PC/later Mac era, like I said by Interplay, Decent stuff. Fat Shat Sings posted:That TNG point and click game was pretty cool when I played it. I never got very far though. Oh, I remember that. Right at the beginning. You had to somehow "poison" the power the probe was eating, in best technobabble fashion. (Of course I remember this, but not actually important things. Thanks Brain!) This also reminds me that the game had pretty cool (for that time) CGI cutscenes. Pretty eyecandy. You could also decide yourself who would go on the away team on missions and that'd change Dialoge (also voiced by the actors, there was no disk version) and the solutions at your disposal. It also had a clunky engineering and combat part where you could actually blow up the ship by screwing around with the energy options.
