I requested a Trek “Scene It” game years ago, back when I bought the first edition of the Harry Potter game. It’s about time! The HP game is fun, but a bit frustrating in that they make a new edition with each movie. A “booster disc” for those of us who bought the first one would be nice. Guess I’ll just wait for the last movie in 2010 and then replace my current game with that one. LOL…

Anyhow, while I’m disappointed to see how many people here want a TOS-only game I guess I’m not surprised. This site is mostly a news resource for the upcoming movie. There’s little to report where the other shows are concerned. Personally, I hate Paramount’s decision to “re-imagine” the original series, and if there is to be new Star Trek I’d rather see it looking forward, not backward. But that’s just me, YMMV.

While I wasn’t terribly enamored with either VOY or ENT, I am overjoyed that TNG and DS9 will be included, especially DS9. I think a lot of those “TOS only” people would probably enjoy the grittier feel and political backdrop to DS9 if given a chance (or in some cases, another chance) to check it out.

It’s a shame that Spike TV appears to have dropped DS9 reruns (and TNG as well), because DS9 continues to age incredibly well. At times, DS9 seems almost (no pun intended) prophetic! People who love intelligent sci-fi would do well to re-discover the series on DVD. It’s too bad we’ll likely never see those richly drawn characters again.

Look forward to Star Trek Scene It? In my opinion, it should’ve been out long ago. I also look forward to the scenes from the new movie in the game. I am also quite sure that it will be the first thing I buy following my seeing of the new film. Put me down on the wish list. My father, mother and I are huge Trek fans, and we look forward to playing a game together. I’m so excited I can’t wait! I also hope that the manufacturers put at least 15 to 20 scenes from each series and the eleven films into the game (and of course, all of the usual Scene It? hi-jinks) I also think that the game pieces will be: The Enterprise NCC-1701, a phaser from TNG, a communicator from DS9 and VOY, and Shran from ENT.

For the “Scene It!” game I’m much more familiar with DS9 and TOS as they’re my favorite Star Treks. I’ve seen TNG a fair amount too. Voyager and Enterprise I don’t care that much for, and hadn’t watched them nearly as extensively though I have seen a good amount of their episodes at least once. Hopefully they will allow you to select some parameters.

Yeah that Scene It? DVD game does look good, might have to add that to my Christmas list.

On the subject of DVD’s the BBC are reporting that BlueRay has won the format war, don’t know if it’s true or if they’re jumping the gun.
If it is true it’ll be another example of the better format (Betamax/HDDVD)losing out to money and placement, PS3 anyone.

Oh well Maybe I’m just bitter, because I spent ninety quid on TOS-R Season 1 and plan(ned) on buying the other two eventually.
At least I didn’t spend a fortune on a Toshiba player, I opted for the 360 add on when I bought the Console.

I think I’ll watch The Final Frontier on it and see how it looks Up-rezed ;-).

To all those who said they won’t buy “Scene It?” unless it’s the “TOS Only” version: have you ever stopped to think that strictly selling that version would put a serious dent in the potential sales of the game?

I guess if the full Trek version is really successful, they could decide to market a TOS version and generate a good profit. But personally, I wouldn’t be interested in buying it because I would probably fail miserably at playing it. My best Trek knowledge lies with TNG and Voyager, not TOS. I agree with being able to pick your categories, though. That would be cool.

14 – me too, also sent an email. Couldn’t fathom why no Trek Scene it. With hundreds of hours of programming it seemed … illogical.

arrr… that Scene- It game looks pretty simple indeed…

perhaps they also ask “What color is the white Enterprise in The Wrath of Khan?”….

arrrr… I know, just a sample that be… how ’bout “how many folks got phasered?…”

To people telling me to stop being upset about the rescheduling:

I live in a free country. Don’t read my posts. You wouldn’t be the first.
