I’d be upset… except I don’t see any value to those services so I’m not subscribed in the first place.

As a filthy casual with little to no knowledge of comics outside of a few cartoons…
… I’m incredibly confused and distracted by retro-cyborg’s design.
IMO, it wouldn’t work well.
The DS9 set was complicated. You had obstructions and levels. Those would need to be replicated with green screen props and they tend to not bother with those. At best you’ll get uncanny valley like the Romulan Bridge in S1 Picard. Works for a specific scene, but isn’t something to dwell in.
Huh… never knew that tidbit.
It’s easy to imagine if that reality had come to play, we’d get the Tom Paris treatment… but I can’t help but wonder if we might’ve gotten a Captain Brahms.
I remember reading an article in “Star Trek: The Magazine” that fans were convinced it was practical effects, but the sequence was actually CGI.
The fact that the CGI was indistinguishable from traditional methods is honestly really really impressive for the era.
McMahan confirmed the season plot will come into focus in the next two episodes:
“The finale does. Episode 9 does to a lesser extent. But 10 is like a movie. It’s wonderful.”
I’m guessing either the Cerritos or the Sh’Val is disabled at the end of the next episode, then the remaining ship has to rescue the other in the finalé.
You’d probably end up with the next generation of conversation therapy involving full blood transfusions.
I played the original on the DS.
I thought it was cute how the person she was interviewing would give her story on the top screen, while on the bottom we got the protagonist’s internal thoughts, which were 100% unrelated to the information she was gaining.
It’s not a bad series. Kinda like a weird quaint cross between weird Earthbound-like fantasy and Ace Attorney Investigations.
It was nice to see a somewhat T’Ana centered story. Assuming she appears at all, she’s either making out with Shaxs or doing cat things.
Surprised it took so long to meet Levy. It played out as one might expect.
Glad we got some quality time with Delta Shift. We’ve had a few episodes featuring them, but they’re mostly off screen or limited to short exchanges.
As a whole package, I don’t think this episode worked as well as Veritas. There wasn’t a central story tying the four tales together. You could probably cut the hub tale, and possibly Tendi’s turbo lift tale, and not lose anything of value.
You’re not wrong, but think of it in terms of Biden tolerating this evil nonsense has the potential to curtail Trump actively encouraging or even instigating more and worse.
Think of it as less kicking the can down the road, as it is kicking the can out of Trump’s hand before he has a chance to pick it up and do something we’ll all regret more.
The unfortunate reality is that a not insignificant portion of US voters conflate modern Israel with biblical Israel.
Any stance other than full support of anything Israel does will stick Biden with the Right version version of being racist: an antisemite—and getting that label is enough to get apathetic right leaning voters to go to the polls.
Trump played the Israel card all the time and his base loved him so much for it that they would plug their ears whenever his crimes came to light.
Biden has the unenviable position where if he shows any signs of disapproval of Israel’s actions, he risks another Trump presidency. (Which is absolutely insane considering the whole insurrection thing.)
My problem with ship designs in general, canon and not, is that they all tend to be so flat. Like… vertically speaking. Flat.
