Kirk

You know I was a liberal until they force detached nacelles down our throats.

Kidding obviously, but I am right there with you 😂

EDIT: For the record I loved the Disco S1 Klingons and they never should have wussed out with those but I can live with it.

I thought SNW did a really good job establishing all of the characters in a short season. But SFA is somehow doing even better.

After the first appearance I thought he was going to be a lovable scamp, like Harry Mudd or Quark. But MAN.

Paul Giamatti and Holly Hunter were just absolutely amazing this episode.

Couldn't agree more. Just absolutely riveting scene with little else going on besides his angry ranting and her micro-expressions. So many layers to both of their performances.

I'm with nearly all your other observations too. Even the Kyle Jay Den thing manages to feel natural and awkward in a wholesome realistic way for a character who has had all of ten seconds of screen time.

Yes [Caleb's] an ass at first as the defenses instinctively trigger

This is the only part I'm not sure I fully agree with you on. I think Caleb's reaction to having his childhood trauma brought up against is will during a time he is supposed to be feeling safe being vulnerable is completely understandable. "She can't help it" isn't an excuse in my book. BUT they both handled it maturely later with cool heads and that's what matters. He is definitely going to think she's a badass (maybe because that scene was maybe one of the most badass moments we've ever seen on Star Trek).

Oddly enough the Sisko impression is one of the best I've ever seen

I loved this episode, it was really funny to hear "normal" people navigating getting an instance up and running, but they did without too much trouble. They also have 7K monthly active users since creating it, which is a great infusion of fresh blood to the fediverse.

Good for him. In the history books there's going to be an asterisk next to the results this year.

“I think that people assume, because the pictures aren't real, that it's not as damaging,” Brewer told me. “But if anything, this was worse"

I also just want to add the batteries in most of those zigbee buttons last on the order of years

I'm the same way and finally had to accept I'm going to need to change because Nova isn't coming back 😭 and to my knowledge nobody is recreating foss.

Kvaesitso is what I went with. It's a different style of launcher but very well put together. So far I've been quite happy.
