Sara Mitich must have had another gig during the shooting of these final episodes, so Lt. Ina was born.

Just telling you now, let your wife enjoy the show next season.

There may be other moments I missed, but there was no confrontation, no conversation where Michael and Stamets found common ground again.

HTML5 or another open standard that takes far less time to render webpages.

I think this is why they didn’t use this on the show. It doesn’t totally work. The prank is too elaborate, Jim and Pam thinking Dwight would fall for it is too unbelievable even for the Office, and ultimately its not totally clear how sincere his reaction was, which confuses the “heart” of the scene.

There’s a certain strain of chode on the Internet who insist that the Orville is “more Star Trek than Star Trek” because they are only comfortable with plot holes and hack dialogue if it comes from a show that reminds them of the good old days.

Michael tells Booker she loves him. [...] her saying it now changes nothing but they act like it does

dig itself out of the particular hole Chibnall saddled it with when he completely rewrote the show’s mostly established history.

[Jack] then exits the episode by deciding to catch up with Torchwood’s Gwen Cooper.

Yeah, this is a 90s mall. The environment designers are in their mid-20s, so they don’t realize how different the 80s and 90s mall aesthetics were from each other. Even the arcade in this has a decidedly 90s vibe. Arcades in the 80s looked like what everything else looked like in the 70s.

Since there seems to be too many creators and not enough players, what needs to happen is for Dreams to lean into that, and position itself as a proper game engine.

Is this more like Skyrim - an initial buggy mess, but should not be missed once the bugs are ironed out?

It may reflect Gadot’s limitations as an actor

I really wish popular fiction would stop giving us advanced civilizations that use a form of government where the transition of power is determined by single combat.

That’s what it should have been, but no. That’s my whole complaint. It could have fed into the context for his goodbye, but it absolutely didn’t.

I assumed he just looked at his arm and was familiar with the tech, but that’s fair. That is probably what they meant by that line.

How the hell should I know? That’s basically my point. 🤣

his is the way we see that other Mandalorians can be just as fundamental as Din not taking off his helmet. They are the same.

So, lots and lots of raw meat for hardcore Star Wars fans to chew on (we even got a “maclunky” in the post-credits scene), but on its own terms, like most episode of this show, not much actually happened, until suddenly it did. Gideon turned out to be kinda nothing as a villain, and they skipped over what could have…

I don’t disagree, but the ship on that sailed a long time ago, way back at the end of Season 1 when Micheal let Georgiou go free on Qo’nos.
