One thing I did appreciate in Mass Effect Andromeda was the broader engagement ranges resulting from the more open-world design, making sniping viable with both weapons and powers.

Indeed, to me Back to the Future is the perfect top-tier trilogy. The first one stands alone as a great time travel story while leaving the door open to sequels, the second is a little weak pacing-wise during the future section but does a masterful job of weaving its plot into the original...

Isekai in general could do with being a little more rare. And more well done, for that matter.

Yeah, the Maquis were ultimately just one plot thread too many for the writers, which is a shame, because a lot of the themes involved with them were ones that the show liked to explore. But with the tides of multiple conflicts sweeping across the region, it was tough to keep them relevant...

A common pitfall / feature of the Let's Play genre. A recent / ongoing series on Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning got me re-playing that one for awhile, and I got quite into it, going through around 4-5 of the main regions. Unfortunately the game is not without stability issues, and a persistent...

The full word is "Adventure", but for a moment I thought "Seriously, they're doing advent calendars for Halloween now?"

I do enjoy the scenes of the Defiant being flown like it's the Millennium Falcon. An example of the better ways that the mirror universe setting allows them to cut loose.

Well, it's not southern hemisphere, but it's definitely "Christmas, but summery".

Add engineer Enrique Muniz somewhere in that large gap. Sadly RIP as a designated redshirt, but they really built up his rapport with O'Brien in that one episode.

There's also the factor that Molly, as a child actor(s?), is around even less than Keiko, and almost never without her, which kind-of gives the impression that Keiko is doing somewhere around 90% of the child-rearing, with Miles only occasionally involved.

An unfortunate result of multiple factors in the show's production. As a recurring character she tends to show up only in Miles-centric episodes, and since the standard procedure for such episodes is "O'Brien must suffer" it tends to not show a rosy portrayal of their relationship.

Yeah, that was a good one.

And since he eventually regenerates into Joanna Lumley in the Comic Relief special, you could tie the character into Wednesday post-retirement too, with her having a daughter who married into the Addams family. Which would make Wednesday part Outcast, part Time Lord.

Not sure which ones didn't matter in this one. The Hammer of Barovia fight establishes the stakes, showing Lex's duplicity and that he already has access to at least one combatant that can outclass Superman. The kaiju fight introduces the Justice Gang and shows the difference between their...
