An important lesson was learned - You snooze you lose... but you're also snoozing so you still win...
Wasn't the Belgian Women's Football team. Still not.

Whatever your thoughts on Trek, can we all agree on one thing? Those pints of 'Guinness' were a crime.
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
Don't let the eedjits grind you down [easier said than done at time, I know].
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
I respect your opinions on trek. Might not always agree with them, but you're not one those sad joyless gits on the internet, of which there are depressingly many, who shit on it for the sake of shitting on it and have made an active choice to do so before even watching it.

Still think they should've had him play the Brid of Prey commander in A Quality of Mercy...
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
Probably should've said 'not enterprise crew' as there's a few recurring characters as part of the crew. Mudd is still the only 'encounter of the week' character to appear twice.

Not sure it's a awh/aww moment per se, and I don't have a screengrab to hand... But the scene between Seven and Tuvok where they play Shaw's recommendation that she be made a captain.
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, I wouldn't be averse to seeing Sarek again in SNW either...
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
For all the rough start, Duet is probably one of the stand-out episodes from DS9
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
Just to interject, A wish I have for SNW even though I doubt it'll happen... Another appearance of Mudd. Gotta have a nod to TOS' only recurring not-main-cast character.
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
Like Doctor Who... anything that's been around that long is gonna have it's... ups and downs...
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean... That's just Trek... there's some howlers and/or 'that hasn't aged well *at all*' in every series...
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
The 'Why's? - mostly 'just because'... Though I'll second your thoughts on Garak and add his interplay with both Bashir and Dukat particularly elevate the character. So that's probably my 'Why', it's as much about how they interact with the characters around them as it is the characters themselves.
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
Because one cant simply pick one... come on now Sean... so, by series TOS/Films - Scotty TAS - N/A [don't think I've ever watched any of it] TNG - Data DS9 - Garak VGR - Seven ENT - Phlox JJTrek - McCoy DSC - Reno PIC S1/2 - Rios PIC S3 - Shaw LD - Tendi PDG - Murf SNW - Scotty

You have thoughts. You articulate those thoughts to camera. We watch it. We agree... or don't. We watch more Star Trek. This is how it works, no?

I never understand the press release about an announcement for a teaser for a trailer for a film that's only just entered production and wont hit screens for another 2 years.

'Stone Dead' is also a thing in English. The rest except maybe the one with the fox I could probably see the logic behind.

Bad/app pet peeves [most extend to websites too]. - Apps that require a mandatory login. - Apps that can't be used without an internet connection. - Ads that ads get ads in ads the ads way ads of ads doing ads anything. - Apps that force me to use it over a perfectly functional website.

F1 makes a big deal of trying to keep a lid on cost and then insists pirelli churn out sets of the full wet tyre knowing full well they wont get used, even when it is wet. We've pretty much established now that 'too wet for inters' = 'to wet to race, end of' is the policy.
RedFlames (@redflames.bsky.social) reply parent
Might as well delete the 'full wet' too and just have the one wet-weather tyre/compound.
