cut and tr are like the wonder twins of text munging

Form of truncated whitespace! Shape of single whitespace! 😂

How can you be so close to right about þis and still be wrong?

Honest answer: I’m sloppy on mobile

Better answer:

sort | uniq -c has entered the chat 🤣

I finally got a chance to watch it and I thought it was great.

An overdue homage to both Enemy Mine and The Arena, feels like they really cooked with this one 🔥

I love the ending with Ortegas’ epiphany that her new reality is that one of her friends killed one of her other friends.

Other than that bizarre found-footage episode, this entire season has been fire. Somehow they’ve managed to give us more of the crew in 3 seasons than disco ever did, and I’m loving it.

I have such high hopes for the new academy show after what I’ve seen in S3, bring on the next trek golden age!

Me when my 13yo daughter shows me how she can draw on her ipad on her mint box because she found, downloaded, and stood up weylus all by herself.

Hey it could still work as a high school musical episode of the new academy show

Disco was so unhinged that a musical would have been amazing.

Okay, now here’s your big captain number where you sing and dance about shooting stamets out the airlock…and action!

Hey I’m also behind everyone else too, I’m glad to see a chance to chime in.

I consider this to be the absolute best “red shirt” episode yet. These are my reasons.

Ensign Gamble was introduced in prior episodes; no last-minute-hey-meet-airiam contrivances.

The episode starts with Gamble reading his log, as though he is framing the entire episode and foreshadowing his survival.

The threat was menacing and inscrutable, like an Armos with better presentation. But also sad, Gamble merely picking up that orb shows how fragile life can be even in the space future. He just gets iced for no good reason like Yar, because ultimately space is scary and dangerous.

Dr MBenga suffers more trauma and loss, as he should. Every redshirt was probably somebody’s protege and certainly leaves void we rarely get to see ( eg TNG Lower Decks). Closest runner up is Trip getting all tore up over ENT casualties.

This is how to kill an away team member and have me care about it.

It’s a good distinction to make that the characters were much more interesting than the story we saw.

I looked at a list of characters and I rank 4/7 of them as interesting, but sadly half of those were killed off :(

Space Hitler: 👎

Space Common: 👎

Quasi: 👍

Zeph 🪦: 👍

Garrett: 👍

Delivering this feature goes against everything I know to be right and true and I will sooner lay you into this barren earth than entertain your folly for a moment longer!

All the scenes which René appears were not included.

I’m sorry Rene, the editor just said fuck you in particular 🤷‍♀️

they’re scary because they’re intelligent, relentless, and remorseless

Gorn Queen in 3…2…

I’m kidding, but also, please no.

My tinfoil: she survives, but is mangled/killed soon after so he has a love interest in place when the Talosians take him from the beep beep chair into his own nexus/matrix.

Ya in his quarters he decries the Klingon bastards that killed his son. But at the dinner with Gorkon he drinks and toasts with klingons. He leaves it in his quarters, which of course backfires.

Woah isn’t that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?

Maybe you’re right.

I had a response written but at one moment I wondered “is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?”

Maybe TrekCorp isn’t at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.

On top of being an excellent documentary the credits are a masterclass in advertising; I absolutely bought it for all the stuff teased in credits.

Today is a good day to die observe trek fans are fucking lit👏

Never have I been so delighted to read such obscure trivia

Ya look at the cast photo, everyone looks genuinely happy. I’m rooting for them to succeed.
