I enjoyed this week's episode, but while I found it entertaining, I feel a bit shortchanged with season 3 leaning into the soap opera and comedy elements more than the solid episodic sci-fi that marked seasons 1 and 2. We are on the clock now, with only 18 episodes of the show left. And we have...

I think this was a case of conspiracy theory (M'Benga has let folks suffer/die in sickbay on orders from Starfleet, and/or there have been casualties in sickbay that Starfleet does not want you to know about) inadvertently stumbling over a truth (but for a different reason). I did not think that...

I believe they are advancing one year per season, so SNW will end in 2264. Chekhov could show up as a cadet like Uhura did in season 1 in season 4 and/or 5.

I also wonder about Kirk and the crew feeling remorse after finding the truth about the scavengers. I mean, what if they opened the helmet and it was a Gorn? Or a Klingon? Or some strange-looking alien lifeform never encountered before? The loss of 7,000 lifeforms is still a reason for remorse...

I think Palpatine foresaw the Vong as a threat to himself and his power.

I never read the New Jedi Order books, but I heard that they touched on this a bit. The Yuuzhon Vong had a planet-sized weapon or something, and Palpatine had foreseen the need to have a weapon capable of taking out something like that. That it helped in his day job of running the galaxy through...

No visible moving parts... ;)

Penguin was quite good. If you liked the bleak and gritty Gotham of The Batman, you will appreciate it.

You can see the deleted scenes on YouTube. The truth is those scenes with Luke at the start of the film would just make the story drag. IMO, it is better to view the deleted scenes separately.

This is very true, but @Retros_x has a solid point. The Empire may have a great number of supporters on a planet, and it would be illogical to destroy them along with Rebel elements (though totally on-brand). Additionally, planets have raw materials and resources which can be useful. Blowing up...

No, I'm in the US. I can get Hulu, Disney+, or both. Right now I have Disney+, but I see Hulu as an option on the main Disney+ screen. I have been following the Hulu-Disney+ saga for years, wondering why they don't just consolidate into one service, but they still remain this strange...

I think there is also a meta reason they could not send someone out to call the ship. The person attempting to leave (unless it was Chapel) would have been zapped and locked them in. They wanted to hold off on that reveal and not have some random red shirt get the axe.

Agreed. Apple TV has built up so many good shows over the last few years. I would also add For All Mankind, Shrinking, Silo, and Sugar to your list. I don't get how this will change the current situation. Hulu is integrated into the Disney+ app on my Roku right now, even though I can sub to one...

I believe @Prof_Dogg may be obliquely referring to The Lost Citadel (D&D 5E (2014) - The Lost Citadel: a new apocalyptic 5E setting from Green Ronin ).

Ooohh... imagine if they had not wrapped up Rukiya's story and she was still in the buffer... now alongside this transdimensional demonic entity. :oops: That could have gotten very dark.

In Dragonlance, Tasslehoff's dagger Rabbitslayer was not a returning weapon per se, but it would always find its way back to him.

Yes, as a Trek fan from way back, I and my friends have often pointed to uses of the transporter (or other technologies) in some episodes being solutions to problems in other episodes. We became resigned to seeing these inconsistencies and try to look beyond them (but it doesn't mean we don't...

I wonder why they did not put Batel in the transporter pattern buffer to delay her Gornification?

Pike's voiceover in the opening credits of SNW also says "5 year mission."

True, but it's easier than building entirely from scratch or using Roll20. I have not used the importer for an adventure, but it imports everything else nicely (again, giving the developer a few weeks to accommodate new titles on DDB). Adventures are the most complex structure to import, so I...
