    Omega Sector, I assume that is/was a Star Trek forum? :klingon:

    Wow. I never expected 2022 to be the year I caught up with Star Trek. But I did, going through the last 2 movies, TAS season 1 & 2, PIC season 1 & 2, Discovery's 4 seasons, LD's 3 seasons, ST's 2 seasons, and SNW's and Prodigy's 1st seasons.

    And I got hooked on The Delta Flyers podcast. And started posting here. :)

    Onto 2023, and a whack more episodes to come!

    Hi. Another refugee from Omega Sector. Being a fan of Trek since the late 70s after watching Spanish dubbed version of TOS. Trek is a speculation engine to switch-on the Mind. DS9 is my favorite iteration. Mostly enjoying the Nu-Trek, except Picard.

    Hey everyone. I've only just "discovered" Star Trek in the past 7-8 years, and since then I've seen just about every episode and movie many times over.

    The other day I said to myself "I need to join a Star Trek community of some sort", and I Googled and this was the first place to pop up

    I'm no stranger to forums, I've been a member of CowboysZone (Dallas Cowboys forum) since 2004, which uses the same software as this place it seems.

    But anyway, I'm here! So hi! :biggrin:

    I just wanted to say hello to the group! My name is jeng3935 but you can call me jeng! I love all things Star Trek, including the new shows Picard and Prodigy..and I have to add, I went to my first ever Star Trek convention last year in August and had an AMAZING time meeting friends and the cast of Star Trek Voyager of course! I used to be here a long time ago but decided to leave due to it being "too cliquey" for my tastes. However, after reconsideration for some time, I thought I would allow myself the privlege of coming back here for a while! So, nice to meet everybody. I hope to see some familiar names!

    Welcome back, Jeng. I'm probably one of the newer members though I'm from the TOS/TOS-rerun eras. Many of the old-timers are very active here. :techman:

    Hi! Yeah, that's cool. I was also a TOS fan before I was ever a Voyager fan! It's nice to be here in the presence of other fans.

    Hi, I just wanted to chime in and say how..it's nice to have a place to find fellow trekkies.. I've been watching ST my whole life (since i watched the TOS in the 70s).. and i read the books!

    i love Roddenberry's vision and it helps me stay positive in a crazy world. So much dystopia out there on screen and off (ha).

    I love Prodigy and laugh so much with LD.. I spent most of my time watching Enterprise while I was doing something else until Season 4 when I really enjoyed it, too bad it ended when it was just getting good. My favorite is a tie between DS9 and NG. I miss the episodic, well lighted Star Trek.. Looking forward to more SNW.

    And :adore: Picard S3 is so great....loving it! :luvlove: If the season continues to be as good as first two episodes, then i hope Terry Matalas continues to be the showrunner...someone who loves Star Trek! yes!:angel:

    LL&P

    Unfortunately season 3 is the last season of Picard... but who knows if there may be another spinoff show that Matalas can run?

    You have a cool screen name! This place is great for Trek fellowship. I wish I’d have more time. I’d be posting all of the time.

    I'm Quantum21. I'm not your ordinary ones and zeroes. I'm something more. I just might be both.

    I also Like Trek. I'm not reserved on this point, I enjoy it all. You might say this is my super position on the subject.

    I look forward to entangling with you all.

    I've been a Trekkie since I was around 12, after walking into the lounge while my step dad wad watching Voyager (around season 5/6ish). I love all the shows so far.

    I've been part of other Star Trek forums in the past (namely Bridge Commander ones, as I used to help with modding projects), but for some reason never registered here before.

    I have also set myself the challenge of playing as many Star Trek video and board games that I can (I've hopefully got a full list, done in date order). I'm hoping it would be fine to do a thread posting my thoughts on a few at a time, hopefully it will be something people will want to discuss.

    Plus talking about Trek in general, I'm hoping it's less abrasive here than on places like Reddit.
