It’s a good distinction to make that the characters were much more interesting than the story we saw.
I looked at a list of characters and I rank 4/7 of them as interesting, but sadly half of those were killed off :(
Space Hitler: 👎
Space Common: 👎
Quasi: 👍
Zeph 🪦: 👍
Garrett: 👍
Fuzz 🪦: 👎
Melle 🪦: 👍
Delivering this feature goes against everything I know to be right and true and I will sooner lay you into this barren earth than entertain your folly for a moment longer!
All the scenes which René appears were not included.
I’m sorry Rene, the editor just said fuck you in particular 🤷♀️
they’re scary because they’re intelligent, relentless, and remorseless
Gorn Queen in 3…2…
I’m kidding, but also, please no.
Amen, I am equally puzzled.
Truly some of the worst FF decisions all in the same game.
Why is the key to the postgame dungeon a piece of undifferentiated loot? Why did the game allow me to accidentally lock myself out of the postgame by selling it?
Why is the story is a low effort clone of Star Wars?
Why set FF12 in the world of FF:Tactics but make no reference to it?
Why, oh why, an all-women-race of playboy bunny girls in lingerie and heels?
That being said, programming your own teams’ AI is peak jrpg wish there was more of that. This baby got thrown out with all that dirty bath water unfortunately
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.
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.
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
Hey I’m also behind everyone else too, I’m glad to see a chance to chime in.
I consider this to be the absolute best “red shirt” episode yet. These are my reasons.
Ensign Gamble was introduced in prior episodes; no last-minute-hey-meet-airiam contrivances.
The episode starts with Gamble reading his log, as though he is framing the entire episode and foreshadowing his survival.
The threat was menacing and inscrutable, like an Armos with better presentation. But also sad, Gamble merely picking up that orb shows how fragile life can be even in the space future. He just gets iced for no good reason like Yar, because ultimately space is scary and dangerous.
Dr MBenga suffers more trauma and loss, as he should. Every redshirt was probably somebody’s protege and certainly leaves void we rarely get to see ( eg TNG Lower Decks). Closest runner up is Trip getting all tore up over ENT casualties.
This is how to kill an away team member and have me care about it.
