I think the character decisions were motivated, intentionally difficult to wrestle with and especially relevant for the time it was made. I think what makes the show unforgivable for it however, is the complete lack of consequences for those transgressions.
And before someone brings up DS9 and In the Pale Moonlight, I would point out that that entire episode was doing the work of questioning and condemning decisions just like this. It's what ENT was missing.
What do folks think about Helium as a Chromium option?
I’m reading it for the first time this year, downloaded for free from Gutenberg.org.
Grabbed it right after watching Muppet Christmas Carol and once I finish I’ll watch Spirited. Scrooged is of course saved for Christmas Eve.
Also been thinking about throwing into the mix that one episode of Real Ghostbusters where they go back in time and unwittingly catch the three ghosts which screws up the timeline because of the unrepentant Scrooge that results.
I like coffee Janeway memes the best.
If you prefer this particular dystopian vision with chuckles, Rifftrax did it and was pretty good as I recall.
My friend keeps telling me that if I loved Shadows, which I did, then I definitely need to check out Wellington. I trust him, he’s far more discerning than I am.
Unlike Grok, I am utterly speechless…
Having it as a ’launch title’ with the Steam Machine release would be more hype than the world could handle.
God I love SCP so much. Probably why I loved Control so much, it was like playing SCP: The Game or something.
Holy shit, this got a spit take out of me! 🤣
Honorable mention: The Search for Animal Chin
That's kind of my point though, the show failed to make any statement about it, including this one. In fact, what you say here would have been an exceptional statement to make, especially considering the post-9/11 backdrop of this season's arc. Instead they were just like, "ANYWAY, time for some timetravel shenanigans" or whatever the next season was doing, I don't recall. That absence of comment is the failure the show makes is what I'm really saying.
