You don’t think that the way a person treats their staff is in any way indicative of the way they regard people in general?

“Yeah, who cares if this person physically attacks people or says fucked up shit or abuses his/her employees. There’s way worse stuff OTHER people have done.”

So... your argument is that because you’ve had terrible bosses, other people should too?

Add this to the list of reasons I remain steadfastly Team Hayter in the grand “Kojima is a Star-Humper” fiasco that was the VA team for Metal Gear Solid V.

...and yes, I know there are narrative developments in that game that justify the switch, but it was still a fuckjob, and Sutherland was awful.  Don’t @ me.

you eediot!

i saw it just starting to come up here on cape cod on the way to the vet, it was beautiful.

I feel the showrunners know fans liked her, and she’s getting flanderized, with her anxiety and quirks locked into overdrive.

There’s an easy pacing solution here; Trim Section 31 and get back 15 minutes to your episode.

I loathed Tilly up until this point, but I honestly, actually like her character and performance in this ep. Playing her off against May, them building a bridge, teaming up, finding common ground, and establishing respect - if not actual affection - was a great move, and deserved to be more thoughtfully paced. I…

Section 31 cannot be an official arm of Starfleet precisely because the Federation isn’t a monolith.

They have a real problem with Toxic Moclaninity.

Making Section 31 an official part of Starfleet is a terrible idea and pretty much destroys the legitimacy of the Federation.

I just want this show to be so much better than it is. And every now and then there is a flash that maybe it can be, but then it’s gone very quickly.

They totally retconned Section 31 in this episode. A originally presented in DS9, Section 31 is a super-clandestine organization. They operate outside any laws and don’t report to anybody. Not to Starfleet or the Federation government. Their only mission is to protect the Federation BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Not that…

Those are fair points. I’m not a fan of the great people, as I usually play on big maps with many civs, and there really aren’t enough great people to go around (and it usually seems like one civ tends to end up capturing most of given type). The split tech trees are ok, but I don’t think it would be bad to have them…

go find yourself an overpaid executive loafer to lick 

It’s deja vu all over again:

Personally there are things I think Civ 2, 3, 4, and 5 did significantly better than the others. I’m not sure I can say that about 1 or 6.

I loved Winter Soldier, but its conspiracy plot was a bit too far-fetched. Nazi sympathisers holding immense political and military power in the 21st-century USA? Whatever, comic books!

I agree that the characters change so frequently in the comics that big screen variations should get less ire.
