My reactions to this are, in order: It's an elegant solution that sidesteps the need for balancing mix-and-match traits between dozens of playable humanoids, I don't particularly like it, wait... it's essentially Mr. Spock (a Vulcan/human mix with the mechanics based one parent). If it's like...

It's not a lateral move from 'the entire solution' to 'part of the solution'. Some people have trouble adjusting.

The game’s editions was interoperable for almost 20 years during the AD&D 1e and 2e era. Why not again?

Oddly, setting it in the 32nd century makes me much more interested in an Academy show. The far-future Federation is still in the process of rebuilding. It’s an exciting time. Plus, you get Tilly, Vance, and Kovich whenever you need them.

Jack’s not manifesting telepathy, right? It’s something like the human version of the Great Link. Connection.

I share that concern. I run my current game off of a MacBook for people whose hardware ranges from 'gaming rig' to 'laptop-shaped potato'.

What are the odds of a Day One macOS support? That isn't just the phone/tablet code meant for a touch interface. Not that I'm interested in jumping in anytime soon.

Some people are still upset over the OGL fiasco, not to mention the guys who are still upset the present isn't the past.

One of the many great things about this episode, aside from the wonderful dialogue, was seeing the Federation continue its long tradition of responsible AI development.

Fast gin should be a thing in D&D. It has the effect of a Haste spell - and it makes you mean.

True. And TNG embodied that in a fantastic way; a ship equipped with metaphoric nuclear weapons and a literal kindergarten.

Also, family is a super-important theme in TNG. What's the episode directly after "Best of Both Worlds, part 2"? "Family". (and I seem to recall a family crisis in the middle of Wrath of Khan...)

As much as I remember the plot of Nemesis, yes. That was part of Shinzon's backstory. I am ready for it.

There was: James T. Kirk (!!!!). So... body-snatching? I didn't really like that reveal, but I pretty much love everything else about the episode. I'm going to be sorely disappointed if Picard doesn't continue as Shaw, where every 3rd episode is Jack and Sidney getting into hijinks while flirting.

It said so on the label! I feel like we now know what Rise of Skywalker could have been with a great script.

Recollection Wine is fermented from ghosts. It allows the imbiber to relive pieces of the decedent's life. Blends are intense, recommend only for the most experienced oenophiles. Sold in the Port on the Aster Sea by a chap named Earnest Gallows.

An interrogation, street justice, dinosaurs.

Drove me crazy, too.

Now they have a laser.
