Made this hierarchy chart based on each Star Trek era's duration percentage of the total. This doesn't take into consideration anything past Starfleet Academy episode 9 or Strange New Worlds seasons 4 and 5.

62. Scribblenauts (Warner Bros / Fifth Cell) - Nintendo DS

Is there such a thing as too much choice in a video game? Well in this game you have the power to create literally anything (as long as it's not offensive or a proper noun). So of course you create things like cthulhu, black holes, etc...

61. The Simpsons (Konami) - arcade

I remember playing this for the first time on a ferry heading to Ireland. It blew my mind how wide and varied the gameplay was on it. Four player multi-player??? And then when I finally got to own a copy on Xbox 360 arcade. I loved it.

60. Kinect Sports (Microsoft / Rare) - Xbox 360 Kinect

Yes, I had the Kinect. In fact, I still have my Kinect. I love it. For me personally, Kinect Sports was so much better than Wii Sports - and THAT was awesome. Bowling and table tennis were both fun to play - even better with drunk friends!

59. The Italian Job (Sales Curve / Pixelogic) - PlayStation

I remember really enjoying this game right up until the last level and then getting really annoyed with it. Otherwise it was a great way to make the movie Mini antics into a video game. Was it a great game? Not really but I had fun.

Me, whenever someone mentions Star Trek:
...and then came Deep Space Nine which was set on an old Cardassian space station...

(later)

...then Star Trek reappeared on movie screens in 2009 with a new movie...

...which brings us up to Starfleet Academy's first season, which is where we are now.

Oh wow I don't think I ever saw the German language version of the Fact Files before. I admit I'd love to see a new version of Fact Files as it finished during Enterprise's run. There's a wealth of new ships and characters it could dive into now, but then I also want a new Encyclopedia too.

Another scummy tactic from #YouTube 's Smart TV app. They've now not only started to stop allowing you to block ads, but they've also now put this symbol on the screen. It looks like a skip button right? Nope - it canNOT be clicked. If you try to, it PAUSES the ad.

Are they hoping that their season copies APXGP's tactics from the movie? From double-DNFs to race winners?

I have sang on stage at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

(There is a huge caveat to that little statement though)

58. TOCA Race Driver 2 (Codemasters) - PlayStation 2

I did have this on Xboc and PS2 but the PS2 version was better IMO. There felt like a bigger choice of tracks and cars. This game even made it to a former workplace lunchtime challenge between me and a co-worker Kris. Loved this one.

Torchwood fans devastated over iconic Cardiff 'shrine' being removed It's a sad day for Doctor Who fans.

To be fair, it's lasted a while. I don't think we can be too sad that it's going.

Same people too. I really enjoyed it too. I mean as an F1 fan it's nothing to do with the actual motorsport but it's a fun diversion.

I don't have access to the meme creator right now but what would be an acceptable fourth panel in this sequence?

Bashir: Is Starfleet Academy Star Trek?

Garak: Oh it's all Star Trek.

Bashir: Even Section 31?
