Opening the universe for Star Trek Online

GameZone.com writes: "Star Trek, as a license, has gone 'where no one has gone before.' Ok, maybe others have tread the path, but certainly not with the style and longevity of the Gene Roddenberry brainchild that first left space dock in 1966 and ran for three seasons on television. That TV show is iconic for several reasons. It was cancelled and then renewed after the outpouring of letters and calls from the television-watching public. And it was the first prime-time television series to have an interracial kiss between a white man and a black woman.

"And, of course, it was just darn entertaining. It was a western set in space with a playboy captaining a spaceship, getting the damsels in distress, saving civilizations, breaking the prime directive at almost every turn and serving up enough one-liners to sate generations to follow."

Was never really a big Voyager fan I did watch it they reused a lot of the same story arcs time travel, slip stream, the borg, thrown closer to home. Best aliens I like that were introduced in the series were the Hirogen would love to see the Klingons take them on in a war.

The big issue was it was hard to have any consistency as you knew they were not going to mysteriously get home and Villains had to be infrequent as they were going through their space and would in time be out of range of their influence. There was a plan for the ship to get home via a new technology early in a mid season and then have them go to and from the Delta Quadrant and Federation as the story needed but that was nixed. I think not showing what happened when they actually set foot on Earth was a huge issue. I am hoping Picard addresses it.

There were plans to show a few episodes of what happened to the Voyager crew once they came back to the Alpha Quadrant but that fell through. Voyager was ok but it's not TNG or DS9 those two series I liked Enterprise with Scott Bakula was good I could never get into the Captain Kirk Star Trek that was before my time.

DS9 was great. I have not been able to get into Discovery. I do not like the characters or stories. I do not expect Xmas lights but the fact that it is 10 years before Kirk yet the ship is so much more advanced even before they went into time has not worked for me. Mainly dislike the characters. Prodigy lost me at the first episode but Lower Decks has grown on me and I have liked Picard.
