I’m trying to watch seasons 2 and 3 of Strange New Worlds in a free week of Paramount+.

Having played backed and played Star Citizen since 2016, I can confirm that it is a mismanaged bugfest, but slowly becoming an actual game. I truly do not believe it’s a grift, just that Chris Roberts doesn’t know how to manage large projects. Only thing I remember about the show Enterprise is the aliens blew up Florida, and this being after the 2000 election, I may have cheered a little. Well, that and the Enterprise was actually a pretty good design. Probably one of my favorite ships to have the name Enterprise in the franchise.

Not getting this or the latest never been a better podcast in pocket casts. Don't know if it's on my end though.

Don’t forget that the finale of Enterprise also killed off a major character for basically no good reason. Just one final middle finger to the audience
