All part of the charm.

I loved this one. 'Mystery contagion' is such a classic Star Trek plot, and the way Ghosts of Illyria combined it with multiple character reveals and an admission (then condemnation) of the Federation's prejudice toward the genetic modified made it feel new. But totally agree that M'Benga and...

I recommend South America - Argentina or Brazil!

Well this is certainly egg on Justin LaNasa’s face. Or should I say egg whites? Separated from the colored bits. Wouldn’t want to suggest any of that shameful egg-mixing was going on. It almost makes me wish he had a career in gaming to ruin.

I don’t watch shows I like as faithfully as you watch shows you hate, @bloodtide .

“Carousel begins! Roll initiative.” ”Twenty!” ”Natural?” ”No.” ”Okay the big laser crystal goes first, hits, and you take 100 damage.”

Remember when the Romulans didn’t have FTL drives back in “Balance of Terror”? I guess theirs was a very small Star Empire. Minor canon tweaks can be a good thing!

Welcome to the problems inherent in a future history first conceived 56 years ago!

I thought Capaldi was magnificent and his run contained a few franchise-bests, like Heaven Sent/Hell Bent.

Killed Walking Fortress, village saved! (the 'fortress' was an ogre howdah with 4 apprentice kobold sorcerers in it - not bad for 6 2nd level 5e PCs with an assist from some reluctant anthropomorphic animal villagers)

Good Lord I'm two years younger than Hartnell when he began as The Doctor. I feel unstuck in time!

Smith certainly did.

I think it’s to write for a show that’s run so long and already told so many stories. But yeah, maybe less sonic this go round!

I’m still reading Spencer Ackerman’s Reign of Terror. It’s a fantastic account of the post-9/11 War on Terror and its effect on the US political landscape. Written by a national security journalist who is also an expert on the X-Men! I’m on my 3rd renewal from the library. It’s so infuriating I...

Check out the Halo series on Paramount. It’s a surprisingly solid science fiction show.

I’m excited to see more of Fun Nurse Chapel. Strange New Worlds should strive for fidelity in spirit, not precise details, which the premiere episode did to great success. I’m also good with Camina Drummer’s Sister. I’ll take more Drummer anyway I can get.

And mind-bendingly bad criticism. My favorite part of the first episode was the big fistfight the landing party got in on their way to teaching the planet’s inhabitants about peace. Now that’s Star Trek! What a delightful first episode. Not a bad way to start a (hopefully) 5-year mission.

I kept expecting La'an to start spitting out Belter creole, too.

Damn if that‘s not a charming cast. Reminds me of another show…

So this season ended up being a more personal version of "All Good Things" where instead of taking place in three time frames, it took place in three 1980s movies spliced awkwardly together (but set in 2024). For the first half of the finale I was disappointed. Mediocre TV writing trying to...
