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. 😁
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.
This one always made me giggle uncontrollably. https://whiteninjacomicsarchive.github.io/#78
I started keeping a Note on my phone titled Game Diary with different sections for games I’m playing, and write down what I was doing, my train of thought and what I wanted to do next, things I had to check on our fix etc, at the time I put it down. It’s helped immensely when I come back to something after a while and encounter exactly what you’re talking about.
all of the building blocks were created over a long time, and suddenly, their invention or discovery becomes inevitable.
The first season of Connections did an exceptional job of illustrating that idea. Highly recommended!
I thought our rights were in that place where I put that thing that time.
I think we just call that a movie.

It’s common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can’t even tell who the bad guy is. But they’re still good stories.
That’s kind of my point though, the show failed to make any statement about it, including this one. In fact, what you say here would have been an exceptional statement to make, especially considering the post-9/11 backdrop of this season’s arc. Instead they were just like, “ANYWAY, time for some timetravel shenanigans” or whatever the next season was doing, I don’t recall. That absence of comment is the failure the show makes is what I’m really saying.
I think the character decisions were motivated, intentionally difficult to wrestle with and especially relevant for the time it was made. I think what makes the show unforgivable for it however, is the complete lack of consequences for those transgressions.
And before someone brings up DS9 and In the Pale Moonlight, I would point out that that entire episode was doing the work of questioning and condemning decisions just like this. It’s what ENT was missing.
What do folks think about Helium as a Chromium option?
That was a good read. Almost didn’t click on it but glad I did. Cheers.
I’m reading it for the first time this year, downloaded for free from Gutenberg.org.
Grabbed it right after watching Muppet Christmas Carol and once I finish I’ll watch Spirited. Scrooged is of course saved for Christmas Eve.
Also been thinking about throwing into the mix that one episode of Real Ghostbusters where they go back in time and unwittingly catch the three ghosts which screws up the timeline because of the unrepentant Scrooge that results.
I’m very happy that he seems to have his own stocking. 😊
No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.
The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that he accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.
While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.

Sorting in Immich needs a lot of work still. The main thing I’m still missing from Google Photos is being able to manually sort images in an album.
