The second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).

However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.

For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.

For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.

Also matey, the audible audiobooks are amazing 😎

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.

The ole private equity bustout. Just like red lobster 👌

Picard: Didn’t you have a son?

Worf: Do not worry sir, he is attending Klingon honor camp to learn discipline and respect. He is fine, please stop asking about him.

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

I love to imagine that meeting

Come with me if you want to ~~live~~ suffer

Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌

 

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.
