I love to imagine that meeting

I haven't read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there's so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.

That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.

Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I'm reading the exact same words, but this time they're hitting way harder.

It's just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.

Their process ignores gems like Scavenger's Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?

Yeah really fun premise slathered in boring characters.

If I recall it devolved into some CW-flavor bullshit revolving around the girl, who is her real father, why is she special. Blah blah blah.

I had to blow the dust off this one https://conanzeromus.ytmnd.com/

That was a great read, thanks.

Kinda surreal to read about disco without also reading about disappointment.

Wildest part is how good it sounded at the time:

"Things are at a fever pitch right now, I believe we can all agree. The devastation, the oppression, the genocide, the division around the world, I think it has reached a fever pitch, and I absolutely think that it's causing people to lose hope in a lot of ways," she says. "So yes, I think people are looking for something to hold onto, they're reaching and grasping for glimmers wherever they may find them. It's why I feel so honoured and blessed to be a storyteller, number one, and to be telling this story, because I believe it speaks to that. I believe seeing this utopian future, even with its challenges, is incredibly, incredibly hopeful and inspiring."

Confirmed: Kai + Anus + Goatse = Koyaanisqatsi

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist)

Enterprise all the way.

It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

Highlights include:

• Captain Archer feuding with Duras
• Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
• Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
• Grapplers!

Low points include:

• Decontamination
• Archer/Tpol tension
• Cogenitor episode
• The finale

And in future news 😉

I am now more impressed at what Lower Decks did with fewer, shorter episodes a season than Discovery.

Well said, I can't help but agree.

I'm part of the sad cohort that liked S1 the most, so I envy those for whom the show got better. Yall got a much better ride.

They could do an episode in this idea too, you got a stew going here 🤙

Some aliens arrive looking for Dax (who remembers them and why they've come) but then the aliens kidnap Dax!

After some science the crew learns that Dax must have diverged in the past and the aliens are seeking the Other Dax.

The crew finds the Other Dax, explains the situation, and cooks up a ruse to free both Dax and Other Dax.

Episode ends on Other Dax's personal log detailing a trip home to the TSC.

Getting from there to here 👌

For the first two seasons I would listen to right up I til the title card disappeared, just long enough for the first two verses and that sweet whiff of a strings section.
