Totally! I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.
And it’s even carrying over from the show into real life, which is one of the things I love most about Trek and its good to have this out there. There’s some nitpicks, as there always are, but so far I can deal with them, especially if it stays consistent. 🖖
I wasn't aware of the Stellaris mods at the time I grabbed Infinite, but I have to say that I honestly don't mind dipping into it from time to time. I guess there's bugs and balance issues and whatever but apparently I'm basic enough that I haven't noticed. It getting abandoned does make me quite angry though.
I also liked this:
“We have people who have been run over by trauma, by substance abuse, by all of these things,” LeBrun told Macleans. “It’s about excavating that person, buried under their circumstances, little by little.”
Seems like a decent dude.
Deceive. Inveigle. Obfuscate.
(That’s a deep cut, wonder if anyone got it.)
I’m out of the loop, what did Better Help do?
“I will burn my own house to the ground if I think there’s a chance you’ll get caught in the flames.”
This is not accurate. Source: been living in Japan for 14+ years. In extremely rare cases (pun unintended but welcome) it’ll happen either at a high class joint (like in Jiro Dreams of Sushi) or in informal drunken situations, but if you come over here and start shoveling nigiri into your gob with your hands in a general restaurant setting, people are going to think you’re simply an idiot.
her reaction of shock is genuine because she was told up until that point that it would be Nichelle who was starring in that scene and was genuinely surprised to be across from Walter Koening instead.
While she may have been told Nichols would be in the film when she signed on, she didn’t fucking “find out” when they were literally filming the actual scene, you absolute pancake. That is not even remotely how film production works.
The surprise would, at the latest, have happened the day before when Goldberg might have noticed Nichols wasn’t on the call sheet, but in reality probably far before that during the normal course of production communications. Jfc
This of the kind of accurate pedantry I can get behind.
The older I get, the more I appreciate Neelix.
There are different unions for different trades. Stop trying to sound so smart, you keep failing.
I overall loved the choice to use it and orchestral arrangement especially, really got my attention after all the action and made me lean in to the moment and the show. What I didn't love was Rufus Wainright's overly syrup-y vocals. Really would have preferred the original remixed with the orchestral arrangement.
That said, I do wonder if over time this is going to grow on me and become another Faith of the Heart. 😁
