Hahaha

It’s half the reason everyone treats Janeway as a criminal. Like yeah overall she’s a fantastic captain. But she did straight up murder tuvix! He begged for life!

If it’s any help, that show is a hot mess. There are some absolute banger eps, I absolutely love most of the cast, but on average it’s underwhelming.

The guy who made BSG ranted a bit about working on Voyager. Apparently they weren’t allowed to change anything. Everything had to reset by the end of the episode. In a series about being stranded.

It’s absolutely a slip around series :) the plots you’re probably referring to really only kick in the last half of the series.

The ferengi were a terrible idea done terribly… until DS9. They really find their stride

Although I think they are best in the ep where quark sells weapons. Something about his cousin is peak Ferengi

OG star Trek is a product of it’s time. While revolutionary and a great source of solid sci Fi, it’s also got the old tv style to it. Extremely long pauses, close ups forever, agonizingly long just to get out one line then repeat.

Would recommend… After you’ve watched a more modern star Trek :)

TNG is a favorite for a good reason. Maybe from season 3 on to start. It’s also going to seem extremely slow / no music compared to modern TV. But it’s overall quality shit.

The writers saw BSG and wanted to make BSG but Stargate. It’s a rough fit hahaha

It had the ol “eh it’s the last season just like writers do whatever the fuck they want” thing happen, and behold, there were several great episodes in the last season.

We have had some b5 spinoffs over the years. They are… Below average :)

It would be great to see that series reboot. The writer would clearly do it, seems like Warner just won’t do anything though.

It’s pretty wack that we haven’t since had a game that captures many of the better elements of Chrome hounds.

The lack of gameplay is fine, and very much important to call out for any new players. There’s a whole genre of “you’re playing a movie” that SOMA fits nicely into

It does have a couple sore points. The whole aimbots running rampant was awful. And it was one of the first major games to introduce and popularize micro transactions.

Ah yes, comments and commits written by LLMs, who wouldn’t want that.

Oh yeah it’s awesome, definitely is able to commit to their ideas and ideals

Disneys stance is to be middle of the ground on everything. Writers or source material bring in a ton of actually interesting stuff, only to be snubbed and half assed. It happens so consistently in all their shows. It’s maddening!

Fml

My reaction to these actually useful cases is generally the same: That does sound handy, a time saver. If GenAI were free I’d say it’s amazing.

The problem is the cost, mostly the power cost. It’s just… Not worth it for something like scanning books. It’s almost always just not going to be worth it.
