I actually like the setup of the episode, meeting this group of off-world alien hunters on a planet in perpetual night and some shapeshifting action. What’s not to like?
I just can’t stand Archer as a captain (and Reed as an officer). And the actual story they go with doesn’t really deliver, imo.
This is conjecture as there are continuing anti-war protests in Israel by a number of different actors and groups, e.g.:
In May 2024, 1,400 academics signed a petition calling for an end to the war Israel–Hamas war protests in Israel, Wikipedia
In my opinion, the way you phrase your comment crosses into antisemitic narratives as the comment implies (at least in my reading) that all the people protesting are anti Palestine. Please note I’m not saying that you are in any way antisemitic. It just irks me how that comment is phrased
“Without the return of the hostages we will not be able to end the war, we will not be able to rehabilitate ourselves as a society,” Ron Tomer, president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel. Te me, “Rehabilitation” implies a level of dissent with Netanyahu’s actions.
Thanks for the hint! :)
Since June! It’s Red Hot Cylon Summer!
Done! (at least I think I found the right setting)
This is my first time watching BSG and I am beginning to suspect that every single character in the show is secretly a Cylon (including Ben and Adam, Wynde is on to something here).
For convenience, here’s the link to the xkcd
… or they’ll just start over again from TNG S01E01!
But yeah, I‘d watch TOS as well, if it gets the Greatest Gen treatment.
I was not prepared :(
That’s upsetting. Thank you.
And now he’s considered “perhaps the most important person in Starfleet history” (and one of my favorite characters in all of Trek)
Not directly related but: I’m rewatching TNG and it’s so fun to see the character of Miles O’Brien emerge. Just through the sheer charisma of Colm Meaney.
I also think Chapel is very good at her job, but nurse and doctor are two different career paths. You don’t graduate being a nurse by becoming a doctor.
I don’t recognize Chaotic Evil and Neutral Good, can somebody enlighten me?
I really enjoyed despising Kai Winn. She’s such a broken character, always choosing the wrong side and still being completely convinced that her way is without alternative.
Still, I had some level of empathy with her (the gods she, in a way dedicated her love to, never chose her, never spoke to her and when she finally received visions, it was demons deceiving her). Fletchers performance is just the best.
Character’s name is Ensign Travis Mayweather and he’s played by Anthony Montgomery :)
Everybody’s favorite space boomer!
That was a cool moment. Thanks for reminding me of that scene!
I wonder if we find out what is actually going on with bearded, successful Boimler. Can’t be good, right?
