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.

Reminds me of learning German

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.

Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)

I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.

Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking

Misogynistic post-apocalyptic Holden Caulfield

Lol that’s a new one for me. It’s funny because it’s true 🤣

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.

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.

I agree. I’ve never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.

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?

… the removal of the hair, having done hairless Klingons with J.J.’s films. So I’d personally already gone through the Internet backlash, and so when Bryan said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do bald Klingons, like it’s gonna be tricky, man.’ And so everyone was salting the broth.

Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistake until you learn. At least this guy is humble and practical about it.

cries in Scavenger’s Reign

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.

Upon further reflection
