It was seven seasons long, and they all connect from the first episode to the last one.

That finale, so well done, so unjust 🤌🧑‍🍳😘

Hey I’m also behind everyone else too, I’m glad to see a chance to chime in.

I consider this to be the absolute best “red shirt” episode yet. These are my reasons.

Ensign Gamble was introduced in prior episodes; no last-minute-hey-meet-airiam contrivances.

The episode starts with Gamble reading his log, as though he is framing the entire episode and foreshadowing his survival.

The threat was menacing and inscrutable, like an Armos with better presentation. But also sad, Gamble merely picking up that orb shows how fragile life can be even in the space future. He just gets iced for no good reason like Yar, because ultimately space is scary and dangerous.

Dr MBenga suffers more trauma and loss, as he should. Every redshirt was probably somebody’s protege and certainly leaves void we rarely get to see ( eg TNG Lower Decks). Closest runner up is Trip getting all tore up over ENT casualties.

This is how to kill an away team member and have me care about it.

It’s a good distinction to make that the characters were much more interesting than the story we saw.

I looked at a list of characters and I rank 4/7 of them as interesting, but sadly half of those were killed off :(

Space Hitler: 👎

Space Common: 👎

Quasi: 👍

Zeph 🪦: 👍

Garrett: 👍

Fuzz 🪦: 👎

Melle 🪦: 👍

The second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).

However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.

For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.

For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.

Also matey, the audible audiobooks are amazing 😎

Viva la fringe 💉💊🔬⚗️🧪🧬

The buildup to s2e15 “Peter” is great sci-fi and great storytelling, they promised and they delivered 👌

Wow, some of these are genuinely good, so evocative and visceral 👌

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

Delivering this feature goes against everything I know to be right and true and I will sooner lay you into this barren earth than entertain your folly for a moment longer!

All the scenes which René appears were not included.

I’m sorry Rene, the editor just said fuck you in particular 🤷‍♀️

I gave it a try on mobile and my general feedback is I think the game doesn’t work on my phone/browser.

My specific feedback is that I can’t tell what’s interactive and what isn’t, except for the giant arrow buttons to sidescroll the stage.

Great work getting the game up and out there 👍

they’re scary because they’re intelligent, relentless, and remorseless

Gorn Queen in 3…2…

I’m kidding, but also, please no.

Amen, I am equally puzzled.

Truly some of the worst FF decisions all in the same game.

Why is the key to the postgame dungeon a piece of undifferentiated loot? Why did the game allow me to accidentally lock myself out of the postgame by selling it?

Why is the story is a low effort clone of Star Wars?

Why set FF12 in the world of FF:Tactics but make no reference to it?

Why, oh why, an all-women-race of playboy bunny girls in lingerie and heels?

That being said, programming your own teams’ AI is peak jrpg wish there was more of that. This baby got thrown out with all that dirty bath water unfortunately

My tinfoil: she survives, but is mangled/killed soon after so he has a love interest in place when the Talosians take him from the beep beep chair into his own nexus/matrix.

Ya in his quarters he decries the Klingon bastards that killed his son. But at the dinner with Gorkon he drinks and toasts with klingons. He leaves it in his quarters, which of course backfires.

Woah isn’t that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?

Kampfradler. I read War-Roader -> Roadwarrior but Google translate says Combat Cyclists… So… Battlerider? Sweet👌

Is it that battleriders are taking the streets away from drivers? and that since only drivers carry the taxburden then battleriders don’t deserve their own rideways?

They are a boomer because their “cure” (give them no roads!) just feeds the “disease” (they took muh roads!)?

This looked way way easier to decode when I first scrolled past it 😂

Maybe you’re right.

I had a response written but at one moment I wondered “is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?”

Maybe TrekCorp isn’t at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.

On top of being an excellent documentary the credits are a masterclass in advertising; I absolutely bought it for all the stuff teased in credits.

Today is a good day to die observe trek fans are fucking lit👏

Never have I been so delighted to read such obscure trivia

Ya look at the cast photo, everyone looks genuinely happy. I’m rooting for them to succeed.
