    Nice spot and I've grabbed it myself. As for the DLC, it's kinda
    something Slitherine do and generally I don't mind it as it doesn't feel
    that the base game has been artificially cut into pieces and the DLC is
    mostly of this has a 'campaign' variety which may appeal to you to
    refresh the game.

    It might be that, finding any info on it is difficult as the developers closed up
    shop and didn't pay their hosting fees.

    Yes. I love how no one said, "Hmm, doesn't Jack have all of Picard's

    I hope that doesn't spoil anything.

    It is a delicious guilty pleasure of wall-to-wall fan service. The only
    thing it's missing so far is time travel.

    Yes, I'm through EP6 and waiting the last one before watching the rest.
    I liked S1, S2 was...rough, but enjoying S3. Picard's son is channeling Shatner and Pine a bit too much for my taste, but eh it's good to see Warf
    and Riker for sure.

    "Today is a good day to die." Oh wait, wrong series. Actually, is anyone else watching Picard S3? It's really good and a lot better than S1 & S2. :)

    Yeah, but not happily. It - like most modern Trek - doesn't work for
    me. I actually enjoyed the first series (well, the first parts; the
    ending sucked) but neither season 2 or season 3 are particularly
    compelling. Sure, I enjoy all the fan-service (look, the gang's back
    together) but it all feels a bit forced and it's getting a bit much.
    Plus, I really dislike how they brought Data back; I thought his
    passing in the first season was perfect, and they've decided to wind
    that back chasing ratings.

    On the plus side, the series is /advancing/ the franchise's timeline,
    rather than trying to retcon new adventures into the past (Enterprise, Discovery, Strange New Worlds), or ignoring it entirely (Abramsverse).
    For too long Trek was stuck in a rut, but at long last it seems to be
    moving ahead again.

    Still, I think the best 'new' Trek of them all is "Lower Decks". Sure,
    it's a comedy; sure, it's animated, and It unarguably starts off
    pretty weakly - seeming a cheesy "Family Guy" rip-off of the series in
    the beginning - but it has more entertaining characters, stories and
    better placed (e.g., less blatantly obvious) fan-service. I'm far more interested in seeing what becomes of Boimler and his friends than
    following the adventures of Picard, or Pike, or Burnham.
