You want to hear a wild theory? My brother and others online think Voyager is Michael Piller's take on Star Trek as gothic literature / Stephen King horror. It would track with the extra weirdness this season that seems intentional, along with Kes as the psychic character who's always in a King...

No worries on spoiling. I'm more interested in other aspects of things besides plot details.

I think I'm going to find myself in much the same boat. It's already such an up-and-down show in the first season that I'm more likely to going like bits and pieces here and there. You never know with me, though! <-- still thinks The Motion Picture is the best Trek movie

Federation, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, November 1994 "Why?" says Admiral Kirk as he leans onto an apparently silent Guardian of Forever. Why live a life when it's impossible to see everything? Why should the Federation exist, when evil will never die? Why is "Star Trek" important...

Voyager Season One, Spring 1995 Caretaker - We journey now to the far reaches of cable television in this first episode of TNG Season Eight. Indeed, we see scraps of TNG Season Seven here: the Maquis, white people appropriating Native Americans, Paris having a strangely similar backstory to his...

DS9 Season Three, 1994-95 (spoiler warning) It is 2022. As a traveler in time’s streams and eddies, I come from October 11, 2020. I got through about half of DS9’s third season before I was hired for a new job and moved back to my hometown. As I finalize chronological adjustments, I must...

Played my second game of Glen More in seven years (how is this thread getting closer to ten), and I got close to parity in score despite tripping over the rondel, putting hats on my meeples with wild abandon, and generally playing like a pigeon with a glass of water.

Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers - Played on Yucata.de. Compared to the base game, I enjoy the rock-paper-scissors approach to farmers, where deer are countered by tigers for overall farming points. This adds an interesting layer of offense/defense to tile placement. I don't quite understand the...

Especially considering we've already seen this dig in the form of Bashir and Quark's womanizing in DS9's "Emissary". But that's likely reflective of the wheel-reinventing we see with different iterations of Trek.

Star Trek Generations, 1994 So Star Trek is in a big franchise swing, eh? Two TV shows, one wrapping up, another new one on the way, and this turd of a Bermanbangle arriving in time for Turkey Day 1994. There's not much to say other than it's a rushed mess that runs out of steam halfway through...

TNG Season Seven, 1993-94 Descent, Part II – Like last year's "Time's Arrow", the opener is more of a straightforward adventure without stopping for very long to think, save for little bite-size pieces of Data wrestling with emotions and a good scene where Geordi appeals to Data's friendship in...

Lordy, has it really been nearly three years since I last posted? Well, okay then: DS9 Season Two, 1993-94 The Homecoming / The Circle / The Siege – In contrast to TNG's complacent season openers, this first episode jumps right in. Quark delivers an smuggled earring to Kira—it belongs to a...

I'd pay off my expenses, put enough in the bank to create an independent income of $5000 a month from interest, and pay off other folks' expenses. Of course, the more effective alternative would likely be to put it all in the bank and pay off people's expenses as the interest comes in...

Likewise for Xbox. I found the Persona Packs as add-ons for the New Frontier Pass, not the base game. So you have to navigate twice in the store to find them.

I'm guessing for whatever reason that Aspyr hasn't fully ported the persona packs to consoles yet. Might be worth contacting Firaxis and Asypr.

Hmm...you seem to be right. It's possible that they need to be selected from the Microsoft store. I'll take a look.

Update: You have to install it, but Ethiopia is already marked as owned if you bought the season pass. No issues here.

I was about to post the same thing. The Microsoft store does say I purchased it but it doesn't show this in-game. Also worthy of note, New Frontier Pass was mislabeled as Maya/Gran Colombia Pack until about 12:30 EDT. My emailed receipt likewise says $40 for Maya/Gran Colombia. It's probably...

Oh good, a Meteor disaster. Now it finally makes sense for Civ 6 to have Cloud saves...

Xbox One runs great.
