60 Years of Star Trek

If I had been paying attention, maybe I could have remembered that today was not only Star Trek Day, the day that the first episode of the original series aired, but its also the 60th anniversary of the show. It kind of feels like I should write something up for a prestige anniversary for one of my favorite TV series...es. Is it still just series? Probably part of why I missed it was that I have never been a huge fan of The Original Series. I actually have never watched all of it, though I started to and it fizzled…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.12.20)

Kind of feels like an odd line up this week, and I am trying to "encourage" myself to post more individual posts on some things, like gaming. Gaming I actually have been playing the LEGO Fortnite a fair bit. Primarily with some sandboxy elements on, so I can quickly build little villages, but still fight things. I doubt this lasts very long sadly, the game play loop is just... not that deep. Especially with the material grinding removed. Anyway, I hope to post more detail on it later. Truck Sim has its Christmas event going on. The mechanics are very…

Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil on Netflix was one of the best things to come out of the MCU, though its questionable if its actually part of the MCU. Not to get into the weeds too much, but basically, there used to be "Marvel Movies" and "Marvel TV" as separate divisions. They had different heads, and there was dumb company politics and the claim that the movies didn't want people to feel obligated to watch a TV show to understand the films. Then they merged the divisions, and now every movie has a TV show attached and we get shows with questionable conclusions and…

What I’ve Been Up To (May 2025)

As I've decided to combine my blogs, I'm still kind of trying to decide if I should combine my occasional, "What I've been Playing" and "What I've Been Doing" posts. Or if I should do one post for each. I post them irregularly anyway, so it doesn't really matter that much in the end. Gaming Let's go with Updates on what I've been playing, from my usual suspects, for now. Infinity Nikki I'm not sure where to even start here. I still WANT to play Infinity Nikki, I still WANT to enjoy the game, but something just feels… off… with…

Star Trek TOS – Season 1 – Part 1 – E01-13

So, this one feels slightly tricky. I have been making notes about episodes as I watch them, but also I have been writing up some on a private forum and having some back-and-forth there. Actually, maybe this will make it much easier. Anyway, since Discovery is over, and I am caught up on Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, I decided to move on to Star Trek, The Original Series (TOS). I really want to rewatch the TNG era stuff, but I am kind of trying to knock out all of the "older era" stuff first. Also, as it turns…

Star Trek Strange New Worlds – S01 & S02

Despite that I've been writing about Star Trek Discovery, what really brought me back to Star Trek was Strange New Worlds. I had tried and given up on Discovery several times, not making it past the first episode, and I wasn't hearing much great and Star Trek Picard. I was hearing good things about Strange New Worlds. I know the timelines and continuity is iffy, but it's essentially a prequel series to The Original Series. Something I kind of realized when starting SNW, is that I have never really watched TOS. I have seen episodes here and there for sure,…

Star Trek Discovery – Season 1

I have been mostly avoiding the newer Star Trek shows. One, I was under the mistaken impression that they were either part of the New Movies timeline, which I dislike, or they were yet ANOTHER new Timeline. It does not help that Discovery really, REALLY feels like they initially intended for it to be a new new timeline. Everything about this show really feels way more advanced than other Trek shows, which is way weird because on the timeline of Trek Show continuity, it's second after Star Trek Enterprise. It happens roughly 10-15 years before Star Trek TOS. I am…
