um, for good story-telling, it usually is. https://blog.reedsy.com/dan-harmon-story-circle/ Now these episodes may be self-contained circles, but they also are parts of a larger circle. As Imaculata points out with the helmet being just taken off, there's not a build up and pay off. The...

that and they were released in a non-overlapping sequence. How hard was it to watch 23 movies over 10 years?

I'm sorry for your loss.

But did it do so with malicious intent, or just criminal incompetence? There are plenty of shows where the AI gives plenty of badmouthing about the human species, indicating that it is killing them with malicious intent. Basically the same thing that defines a hate crime from ambivalent crime...

Congrats. Take a break. Come back later with fresh eyes.

It's a touchy subject. I'm certain the home-assistant making people did testing and found female voices scored better. And in turn, that reinforced negative gender stereotyping. It may have even scored higher on the test for the same reasons, depending on how it was conducted and what the test...

Back in the TNG days, they used to call episodes like that "Bottle episodes" To save money on FX, they stuck to the ship and sets they already had.

How come there are no close-ups of this thing? Not a single person with a camera thought to take a picture of those human-made rivets?

Tom Riker Vash Smiley Everyone on Picard except Picard

I read a recent thread by a dude who got covid and wow. Has it not occurred to folks that getting other people sick might be an actionable item in a court of law? If you post hot-headed stuff on Nextdoor and shoot the kid who was stealing stuff from your car, you'll be nailed for...

Sackhoff was born in 1980, so she's exactly 40 years old. What do you think 40 year olds look like?

It's an example where free speech hurts us. One could easily argue that restricting speech is bad, but the reality is, having it wide open has been weaponized and allowed the stupid and the evil to win. Youtube can make someone a flat-earther in 3 weeks due to how it leads a viewer to more...

Based on Danny's pic, if I was a rich snob, I would only want top shelf minks used for my furred products. Steering wheel covers, coats, underwear, etc. Why would I settle for mink fur that's been peed/pooped on by the upper levels?

When was the Eugenics wars? 1990s. Technically, a whole swath of culture shouldn't exist (at least in the sense of what we actually have from the 90s and up for a bit). The members of Pearl Jam were the first to die when Colonel Green attacked the western coast of North America. So much...

Odds are good, the Burn was because a large quantity of Dilithium was removed from the universe 900 years ago, and because Dilithium is linked on a quantum technobabble level, a wave effect began oscillating through the crystals until it built up enough to explode simultaneously (because again...

Do the writers of Disco know this? There's been a whole lot of hand-wavium and traveling and transporting vaster distances than other shows have demonstrated. I'm sure the people involved love star trek, but this series doesn't abide limits.

I thought he was describing the Great Divider.

Keep working on it.

I'm not a fan of twitmobs, either. And I'm actively trying to finish a book and publish it, so this whole topic isn't academic. There's a real possibility somebody won't like how I wrote the characters who aren't like me despite efforts to "get it right." I cannot control a mob reaction. But...

As Mercurious wants to discuss it, here's a summary of the controversy at the time: https://slate.com/culture/2019/01/blood-heir-ya-book-twitter-controversy.html
