I don’t think this game should be taken that seriously. It’s basically Smash Bros, wherein that it should be viewed more like action figures being mashed together by a child to make them ‘fight’. None of it is canon, and even if there was a canon it should probably be viewed more as the characters having a play fight…

I should say, I’m not necessarily against video as a primary delivery format, as long as there’s significantly produced content in the video that uniquely takes advantage of the video format in a way that isn’t expressible in text and therefore justifies its exclusive existence as a video. (A good example being…

Why move past anything when tons of people appreciate and want more of this?

What if you just didn’t play the games you didn’t like?

He said he’d push for that. Which he has and is trying to get pushed through. The government is not that simple. The Democrats do not have a filibuster proof majority to get the stimulus passed, so right now it’s stuck in limbo trying to negotiate with right-wing asshats who as usual do not want to approve anything…

Bullshit.

“Kinda like how he promised $2000 checks and hasn’t done that either.”

I will say that the writer’s room has finally given the crew more space to develop in S3 - and that’s great!

I get the criticism, but if you want to apply that kind of command structure to Starfleet, none of our people would ever hold their positions, much less get promotions. Picard regularly disobeyed orders, as did many of his crew. Data was demonstrably hackable and could commandeer the entire ship once hacked, but they…

Respectfully, I don’t think there’s some “thing” about Trek that you’ve figured out that Discoverey’s showrunners have missed. They know what show they’re making.

Yeah, they literally had like 4 shots of Stamets staring daggers at Burnham. And now that they don’t need him to jump the ship, he’ll be free to wander around and be a general malcontent.

Not only that, the voiceover goes ‘sometimes it looks like connection is impossible’. Cut to Stamets glaring.

That’s one of thw things I said to my husband (who is way more into Trek than me), “thank fucking god Stamets is pissed at Michael, did you just see the sjade he threw with his eyes im between family hugs? He is so fucking done with her."

Our reviewer was too busy hating the show to notice that.....

yeah, he’s literally glaring at her. Not sure how anyone looked at those scenes and went ‘he’s happy’.

I thought it was a fine episode, but for all the hand-to-hand fighting the episode loses points for lacking that classic Kirk Fu. Needed more double-hand slams and neck chops.

I think the thing that gets me is “we have Brits, Spanish, Chinese, Germans, and even an African in this fictional Europe, but no Jews.”

“Please enjoy my fantasy version of Europe with elves, dwarves, dragons, and of course absolutely no people of colour or women with agency.

Hi! Non-binary human (and linguist!) here and I use he/she/they pronouns. I can explain this, at least from my lens.

Look...Ian...I mean this in the nicest way possible, and I say this as a fellow progressive who has tried to get people to vote for Bernie twice in a row, and this isn’t directed at you specifically but at the group you are currently representing with this article...but please, shut the fuck up.
