Oh I know, I’ve already seen the entirety of DS9 at least once if not twice. But this time... I don’t know what happened. I can’t explain it.
A bit late on getting into this thread, but just a few thoughts:
But DS9 is just good all the way through.
Well, except for season 1. I stand by my belief that it was the competition that Babylon 5 posed that made DS9 step up its game and become the best Trek series imo. Granted, I never watched the final season or two of Voyager, nor anything beyond that except for the 2009 movie.
I have a line up of game ideas. I bought Star Trek: Judgement Rites and Star Trek: 25th anniversary from gog.com which are two point and click adventure games from the early 90s. I played Judgement Rites to the end. It actually had voice acting if memory serves which was rare for a 90s game.
For TNG, I want to try to get Star Trek: Away Team. I finished it twice, but I don't know if I can get it working on a PC. I never played Elite Force II so I may see what is involved in getting that. For DS9, The Fallen was a fun third person game. I remember it having a few parts that were really frustrating though. Voyager will definitely be Elite Force.
All good choices, except I can't speak to Away Team. That's also a very fair assessment of DS9: The Fallen.
Ok. Day 2! How's it going?

Season 1 has its bumps (Move Along Home is a disaster), but it also has some absolute gems. Duet might be one of the best episodes of the entire show.
In my spread sheet I created new columns to keep track of which color shirts died in each episode, and Interestingly in the Man Trap, two blue shirts and one gold shirt died.
I love that you're keeping this tally! Please do update us on those numbers every now and then!
Painful!
I listen to The Greatest Gen podcast where they do this exact thing and they have made it through TNG and are on DS9 right now. 90s Star Trek is definitely a product of its time!
Yay, hello fellow Friend of DeSoto!
kazar, I wish you the best of luck with this. There's a lot of amazing Trek, but wow is there also a lot of terrible Trek.

I am still slowly catching up, I heard your ad during a DS9 season 1 ep. Got a little chuckle.
Also man DS9 season 1 is a rough ride.
I hope Ben and Adam start finding some gems among the crap. When the nostalgia isn't there, a bad season has got to be a challenge to slog through.
DS9 season 1 is rough. However, it certainly gets much better as it go's on. Just need to slog through the start.

As escher77 said, season one is mostly tough except for a few gems like Duet. Season two fares better, while season 3 is where it begins to take off.
They're about to get to the Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast two-parter. Can't wait.

We're staying close to the Notre Dame cathedral and most evenings are pretty open. Let me know if we can get some of us GWJers together

Well it’s just me, goodjerwise in the whole of France as far as I know.
As sole provider for two small children, evenings are tricky. How long are you staying?
DS9's season 1 is much better overall than TNG's season 1, but I enjoyed the stuff about Bajor, especially in the latter half of the season.
It's still galling that the first episode dealing with aliens from the Gamma Quadrant is Run Along Home, though. What a god-awful episode.
A fun tidbit from the episode's Memory Alpha wiki page:
Ronald D. Moore stated that when he watched this episode prior to joining the DS9 writing staff, he was "wondering if everyone had lost their minds". (AOL chat, 1998)
The new discovery short about Mud comes out today.

That’s Mudd, H. F. Mudd.
I call him Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie.
So why do we only on occasion see a green uniform usually only worn by Captain Kirk.
It could be leisure wear. Maybe Star Fleet was having a half-day.

Since money was no longer used throughout the Federation, Starfleet increasingly relied on various perks to attract the best talent. Casual Stardates quickly became one of Starfleet's most powerful recruiting tools.
Where did you buy that game? I'm always up for Adventure games!
I thought this was a fun analysis of Balance of Terror I watched in the past -
I know the CG effects they made for TOS has its share of detractors, but that's a big upgrade over what was originally shown.
