Of course they didn’t try to redeem her, which is why they say this episode she’s changed, that now she can make different choices. She has been, as the show progressed, less and less likely to do terrible things. It was subtle but it was there.

The thing is, I think Zack went past ‘honest, thoughtful assesment’ about twenty reviews ago. His entire review in this case boils down to ‘I don’t like the Mirror Universe’ which fair enough! But it’s not particularly thought-provoking.

It was clear Ellis was out before this. The last time this happened, Darrah kept C&Ping smth like ‘At Bioware we’re committed to our values blahlabh’. When asked why he was only saying that, he replied ‘lawyers’.

She’s literally 15 right now and in the picture she... looks it. She’s just a teenage girl wearing make-up, high heels and a nice dress.

Oh yes, I was agreeing with you. I just find it the most hilarious characterization.

And by ‘absolutely has to’ we mean ‘they show up’, so it actually makes sense he never mentioned his sister that went to the future.

In fact, that’s one of my favorite things about TOS: the fact that it’s a bunch of people who are pretty much who they are already and don’t grow nor learn that much.

Nah. By now I read to see which bits of canon he gets wrong at the same time he acts like a canon gatekeeper.

Ha, what a culture shock. I’m from Argentina and here ‘Tramontina’ is synonym with knives and other types of cookware.

I also liked that Saru was having none of it when she said that he was right.

I still haven’t played Witcher 3 because of all the damn times I got told ‘oh but the witcher 3 is better!’. Yeah, sure, but I like playing female PCs!

Yes! I started watching TOS after getting hooked on Disco and his reviews are interesting. But here it’s like he hates the show so he doesn’t engage with it at all.

Yup. It’s like he decides what’s he’s gonna criticize so he ignores everything that doesn’t fit his thesis.

Okay it’s incredibly odd seeing Clarín getting linked here. Incredibly incredibly odd.

I honestly think it would have worked better if instead of a dilemma Nahn would have just gone ‘you know, knowing my people joined the Federation and seeing this, I have to check on how they’re doing’.

And she was there at the tree back in episode 3!

Yup. I mean, I think that she’s right but that she’s also pushing a lot and really shouldn’t. The Admiral was portrayed as a reasonable man. They just clashed a little and then talked it out.

They didn’t make clear what the dilemma was at all. I got the emotional motivation - missing her people and wanting to see what happened to them -, but why was it even a problem was more ‘???’.

Do you expect this guy to actually watch the show? He keeps missing things clearly stated in dialogue.
