Looks pretty good.  Nice to see some veteran Trek actors (most of whom are reprising their original roles) in this.

Well, I tried watching Star Trek: Of Gods and Men but had to stop. It just seemed silly. I am looking forward to Prelude to Axanar though. Maybe Renegades will be good.

Same.

I was never into Star Trek all that much when it came to many of the Hippies & Elves In Space storylines.  But I've always been infatuated with the starship combat.  Perhaps because it was heavily influenced by modern naval warfare tropes, as opposed to exceptionally fictional/massive stuff like that found in Star Wars.  So the dark-ish galactic war setting of the Axanar film is already starting off with a great theme for my preference.  O0

Did any of you see Marco's recent vids on Federation Commander?  Makes me want to finally pull it out and learn it.  SFB was more like endless reading material, but this streamlined version is probably worth pushing to the table.

Ooh, link? I did buy Star Fleet Battles Force recently but haven't tried it yet.

Was that Karl Malden at the end? He's been dead since 2009!

Richard Herd. He played Tom Paris' father in Voyager.

He was also Captain Sheridan in TJ Hooker ;)

I'm so old, I remember grease pencils and plastic folders.

Any time is a good time for pie.

You're not old. I remember SFB well. I hated that game because the one friend that wanted to always play it, always wanted to play the Gorn with their tracking plasma torpedoes o' death.

That just means you're old too  ;D

I still want to grope whores and touch myself randomly throughout the day. There's really no difference between teenage men and senior citizen men, apparently.
