A needle

I’d take any number of additional SNW episodes. It’s the best of the new series alongside lower decks.

I do like Strange New Worlds and feel that it captures the style and tone of classic 90s Star Trek, that most fans love, best. However, I think the number of whimsical episodes relative to the overall length of the season compared to the length of seasons from the 90s tips the balance too far. I haven’t crunched any numbers for this comparisons, it’s just vibes but even if the ratio was the same, in a shorter season I feel you need more serious episodes to maintain plot tension and character empathy.

I don’t listen to anything made after about 2010. I don’t have these worries.

I’m trying to understand this meme, does it refer to classical liberals? Or is it just a euphemism for the US democrat supporters?

I’m not from the US so might be missing nuance.

Quantum Leap?

Think of the poor Americans that could be eating those affordable eggs!

I remember the heady days when I thought this was the final step of enshittification. Such simple and innocent times.

Decades. Just a social drama, no zombies at left.

Decided to scroll before I said the same thing!

You win this round, Balrog. You win.

The universe is pretty big. 41 is too small to cover it.

That music lives inside my head. I often play it as background music when I'm doing stuff at home.

Final Fantasy 7 (the original).

And it's not even close. What a journey.

Rayman. That thing got brutal ( to 10 year old me anyway).
