That was an interesting watch. Glad someone is making shorts they think are fun to make, it's refreshing.

Finally! Someone with the courage to adapt the NES classic The Goonies II to the big screen. What a time to be alive!

And in future news 😉

I have no idea, but I hope so haha

Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I've seen ENT...I don't want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

5 seasons and a movie, make it so!

The schadenfreude here is delicious, alas the perils of being such a vehemently player-hostile game publisher 😂

I am now more impressed at what Lower Decks did with fewer, shorter episodes a season than Discovery.

Well said, I can't help but agree.

I'm part of the sad cohort that liked S1 the most, so I envy those for whom the show got better. Yall got a much better ride.

...all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏

I like to think of Mirror Chakotay like, with giant eagles' wings and singin' lead vocals for photonic Lynyrd Skynyrd with like a Maquis band.

I have a half-baked thought of my own.

That as the world slides into the maws of oligarchy, we need to see the Star Trek series that zooms in on the transition away from money.

They should face the music of class war with that Trek panache that made them great👌

There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.

Ah yes, the season-sized adventure that feels like a bunch of yak-shaving fetch-quests in an rpg.

we must find the progenitor macguffin, but first we must find the treasure map, but first...

If we look for it we probably see this pattern is common across many trek episodes, but across a season they managed to do it in such a way that feels very obvious and hard to miss.

Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they've got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

 

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

 

I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

 

I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
