If this season is essentially the Will and Jean Luc show I’m ok with it. I love seeing those two together.

Starfleet Intelligence has “Cone of Silence” technology.

My hope is that Johnathan Archer from the future comes in to save the day.

Your comment made me realize that they seem to have dropped a sufficient variety of hints so that it appears they’re trying to deliberately obfuscate the alien origins for the present.

Yeah, I totally loved Captain Shaw. “It’s my ship, we’re not going on some wacky adventure, I started dinner before you got here as a power move, now go sleep in a Lower Deck bunk.”

“What if the writers of Rick & Morty wrote a Star Wars prequel?”

I thought it was a fun episode. I thought the spirit of the episode invoked enough of the TOS Movies, and my goodness, Jonathan Frakes could have chemistry and charm with a chair. I think his being there elevated Patrick Stewart, it was genuinely fun to watch them try to do hijinks together.

It was about as well done as Encounter at Farpoint, which is to say it wasn’t particularly good but was better than a good chunk of the Picard we’ve watched for the last two seasons.

I felt like I was having a stroke at while watching this last night.

Either the changelings or, maybe more likely as they are TNG-specific and one of TNG’s biggest unresolved plot threads, the Conspiracy parasite aliens.

Nice to see Madonna’s original-recipe face again.

“At his best, there was nobody better than Prince, and he was at his best here.”

fun fact: they call it the halftime show because it occurs between the first and second half of the Super Bowl

You seem extremely mentally unwell. I’m sure you feel strongly about this, but so do crazy people screaming on street corners. Consider that your current situation isn’t much different.

No one asked or cares about your opinion dude. 

It’s a literal children’s game, based on a series of children’s books, on Twitch, a platform with a lot of children. Of course it’s “dominating.” I’d be surprised if it weren’t.

Give it time, after its complete success, the narrative will change to it was transphobes masquerading to increase publicity and sales. 

“Stop enjoying that thing! It’s putting money into the pockets of a bigot!”

This is the take. Absolutely don’t play it if it bothers you, put forth any and every critique you’ve got against it, (which is sadly not happening a lot, what a shocker that when all the critical folks stay away out of principle, the conversation is dominated by deeply uncritical people!) but this absurd line-in-the-s…

I like the Evil Benedict part. I was always super surprised when he turned out to NOT be evil. It was a nice way to give us that but with a twist.
