That’s alright. When I first saw the episode USS Calilister I thought he was Matt Damon.

Plemons is actually married to Kirsten Dunst. He’s got quite a lot of acting credits under his belt. Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, and most recently Killers of the Flower Moon with Leonardo DiCaprio.

That’s Jesse Plemons. I don’t see Video Game Highschool on his list of acting credits in IMDB.

You might be thinking of Bryan Forrest.

Sony didn’t have both versions readily available in the Playstation Store. While I did eventually purchase the DLC (which is the deluxe version, not a typical DLC), I’ll be damned that Sony didn’t make it easy to find the OG version in the store.

And I put that on Sony, not the game publisher. Regardless, BG3 has been a breath of fresh air to gaming this year. About time a studio put out a full game without divvying it up into expansions and DLCs.

While I understand your hesitation, I definitely believe there could have been at least five more relevant episodes in Season 2. This season was overall character driven instead of a “planet of the week” format we’ve seen before. So, there could have been some extra episodes that extrapolated on the seasonal Gorn arc, or an Ortegas episode, or a Pelia episode. There’s a lot of potential to provide spanning character and seasonal arcs while delivering episodes from different planets over a 15 episode season.

I definitely believe 20 episodes is pushing it, but a 12-15 episode season could work if the stories are laid out well.

I knew Sean was going to give a down for that as soon as he mentioned it. You can tell by his inflection just where he’s going with it.

I’ve been watching his videos way too much…

If Abrams would have offered I bet Olyphant would have been great as Pike, for sure.

I would surmise that Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow has somewhat altered the main timeline, and there could be some minor adjustments with the characters to accommodate the story that showrunners want to tell.

I’d consider the Pike/Kirk relationship to be a minor thing. If they meet again, I’d be okay with it if the story broke some of the canon. I mean, they already changed the timeline of the Eugenics War, so is it a huge deal if Pike and Kirk come face to face a couple more times throughout the series?

I like it as well, yet I didn’t find a place in Trek forums until I left Reddit last month. So this is new territory for me. Take it in stride, there are other Discovery fans out there.

That’s an interesting metric. Apparently the vitriol for Discovery is mostly contained to the internet.

This comes as no shock at all.

I could only keep drawing parallels in Babs’ performance to Jamis in Dune. It’s like he brought the tension in that fight scene with Paul Atreides to the entirety of this episode. He is an amazing actor, and I love how he brings this mystery to M’benga, and how writers continue to peel his layers away as the series progresses.

I would like to see an Otegas focused episode though. While there was some focus with her in this episode, it was definitely overshadowed by M’benga and Chapel.

Sean, while I love it when you point out uniforms, I really don’t enjoy a five minute conversation on uniform comparisons between shows as you give it a down.

/end rant

But seriously, this episode was grim, and I really liked it.

Literally translates to “Time Portal.” Yeah that was hilarious.

Sean didn’t mention La’an’s timing in the shuttle when she catches Boimler and Mariner in the shuttle just after she says “I never get caught.” That was really funny as well.

Honestly there’s just so much in this episode, that even after several viewings I’m sure you’d still be picking out small references and easter eggs here and there.

I have to admit, like Sean, this is probably my favorite episode of the New Trek Era. There’s been so much to unravel.

Riker!

Agreed, it was so much fun!

Definitely a treat! You’re welcome!

Article says they’ve been cutting back on these comments since last year, so well before Lightfall dropped.

You can now buy to max out your seasonal level at the beginning of the season for $100.00, so you can immediately gain the XP boosts and other stat bonuses. It costs 100 silver per level, and it’s available day one of the season, not halfway through or at the beginning of the seasonal content drought as it has been in the past.

I’m in agreement with you, however I’m going to also add that the creep to a “pay-to-win” game has pretty much been crossed. Not to forget that Bungie decided to drip feed expansion content laced throughout seasonal content this year…that has not been received well.

Destiny players are a salty bunch, but I have to say the current level of furor towards Bungie is pretty legitimate right now. They do overreact; I just feel that this in this current state of the game there is justification behind it.

Regardless, “I hate Destiny; I play every day.”

I mentioned in another post that I think T’pring, despite asking for time apart, eventually realizes that Spock omitting his current condition was entirely justifiable. I think she’s hurt, but she then understands Spock’s point of view (as logic would dictate) that omitting disclosure was the best path forward with the highest probability of success.

Big pointy arrows and clickbait captioning? Usually not a good quality video, and very clickbaity.
