The episode kinda sucked, and re-enforces my belief that Michael is a horrible captain...and it’s not a woman thing either, because I would argue that Janeway was the best overall captain (I mean she frequently told the Borg to fuck off, broke the temporal prime directive numerous times, didn’t give a shit about…

They’re going to need a bigger ship to take on the Shrike.  I bet Geordi is going to be how they get their hands on one.

Maybe I’m playing too much Skyrim recently, but does anyone see Jack’s visions and think he’s getting flanked by creep cluster?

I suspect it was connected to a debate that was going on in multiple countries at the time about religious attire being worn by military / police officers.  I know that the episode aired basically concurrently as we here in Canada were hashing out how to treat Sikh officers who felt that they had to wear a turban.

This was far, far better. No more preying on TOS / TOS-Movie nostalgia, but actually using TNG plotlines (you know, the ones involving the characters we’re here to see) to sink in emotional hooks. I hadn’t spoiled myself about Ro’s potential appearance so it REALLY got me when she showed up. Even better that the show…

I’d love to see Janeway but I’d offer up a kidney to somehow get a Sisko visit...especially since we’re dealing with Changelings.  

Ro has always been one of those TNG characters that a lot of fans have wanted to return, but circumstances just didn’t allow it. That Michelle Forbes came back for this one-off was great. Her exchange with Picard I would argue is on par with his conversation with Beverly two episodes ago and with Lilly in First Contact…

and after she kills the two shapeshifting officers on her shuttle

This is the first episode of season 3 that I watched unspoiled, and boy am I glad. That was one hell of a trip.

I love the running gag in “Who Got Dee Pregnant” where Dee is progressively more bird-like in each flashback, culminating with her being replaced by an actual screeching Ostrich in Mac’s recollection.

Glad that the Always Sunny episode was mentioned. One of my favorite Halloween episodes that wasn’t included is the “A Nightmare on FaceTime” episode of South Park. A hilarious riff on The Shining with Randy being a perfect Jack Torrance stand-in.

There’s an Overwatch main character and several WoW NPCs named after Mr. Jesse “You misspelled fuck” McCree.

Always important to keep your date rape minibar well-stocked! Jesus Christ, imagine being the real life version of that dipshit from the Blob remake.

What the fuck.

And this is why it is incredibly hard to believe that anyone in leadership positions never knows about this kind of stuff. It’s not just a one off thing, it’s rampant and is the very nature of these boys’ clubs.

How many more nails do we need for these coffins? Those apologies that we’ve been getting all week… yeah, those are worthless.

What in the actual unholy fuck.

It was also a hot spot for informal networking at BlizzCon, three sources told Kotaku, where people looking to make inroads at the company would go to meet and hangout with some of its top designers.

WoW is putting it lightly.
