Well that was scary as heck. Didn't Kirk have a chance to wipe them all out once? And Nooooo, Not Hemmer!

Guess who got a call from the friend whose house I visited for a small b-day party (like 5 folks) because their spouse got told a cow-erker got covid and now they tested positive and aren't feeling smurfy? Yep, the birthday gift I didn't want. We're all fairly careful, but a chance is a...

We loved the latest episode with the wedding and the fighting and the character stuff. Ms. Marvel is one of the top MCU heroes just for raw "we're enjoying the heck out of it" And it turns out I was right, there is another bangle.

Also, this is yet another time modern ST writers have ignored travel times. We're at the edge of Federation space, and poof, T'Pring just pops out of warp with a prisoner. Like Vulcan is conveniently close by.

How does a band of maybe 20 pirates take over a big ship with like 400 crew who were already on alert? This is the largest most sparsely populated ship in starfleet. Fun episode otherwise, but weird plot hole to have. Surely some other "we stashed the crew in the hold or mess halls" or...

The whole uncles/aunties was pretty obvious as a cultural thing. Do people really struggle with recognizing cultural elements? Kamran was obviously too good to be true. Naks is mighty. Vote for her. Poor Bruno. Unrequited love is a pickle. We shouldn't talk about him. I suspect some backlash...

On the other side of the spectrum. I had never heard the song or heard of Kate Bush. Nice enough song. I just wasn't into pop culture much once I got to select my own music to play

Amen. It also harkened back to some of the darker TOS tales where Enterprise doesn't sail off with a happy tune, like Balance of Terror. I think the one challenge to the planet's plight is that they have space travel and know some people with a bigger truck. They could move. If my entire way...

my idea of heavy handed might differs from yours. Captain Me woulda said, "All you mofos bullying Isaac is why he is dead. Get off my ship. I don't care that we're in deep space."

thats up to you, but I enjoyed seeing the evolution of the show. Even early on, they tried tackling some stuff right up Trek's social justice alley.

I was a little fuzzy on the ending of season 2 (I thought it was a cliffhanger). It's been that long ago. But this ep hit hard. What happens when a crew member betrays the crew, but is still on the show? TNG would just have folks go back to normal. Orville had them harrass him until he killed...

that's because they won't get off our lawn,

sorry, I was on page 2 and not caught up.

that's my assumption. some kind of young jedi-person during order 66. For her to spend 10 years hunting Kenobi, she has to have a reason, especially as a young-ish character (20s)

and ten year old Leia looks like she's five. Casting hasn't quite figured out age/sizing for child actors...

Obviously. but the RWA is further from the demographic than the Hugo kids in the same genre. These folks go to the same meetings. And the anti-NK Jemisin drama is ongoing. Including GRR Martin's rambly bit about how awesome racist Campbell was.

there's also the Sad Puppies and the Hugos, which hits closer to the SFWA https://www.vox.com/2015/4/26/8495415/hugos-sad-puppies-controversy

pretty much. I'm aware of all that. I don't think of it as the same club, because the actual risks aren't the same scale. But somebody's working that angle on folks to promote their agenda. Which is usually tied to bigotry.

that, and as somebody not targeted by such language, it's easy for me to play devil's advocate, or let it slide. It's far from personal. somebody else, that's their lived experience and yet another harassment vector. just talking about it with others could be stressful. Let alone to someone...

and that's how it works. Youtube can make you a flat-earther in 3 weeks. Tucker Carlson can make you racist in 2. Even racists have valid points about problems (well, not their points about race). But things like fear of "the mob". They're off base, but guess what, that concern is in regular...
