I would just like them to finally release the Boimler and Mariner statues that have been on pre-order since October 2023 and for which the release date keeeeeeeeeeps slipping. Q2 2024 was the last we heard, but that’s definitely some time ago. Again.

Not impressed with Exo-6. They have my money (granted, a 25 USD pre-order) and have delivered NOTHING for almost a year now. Original planned release was Q4 2023 back when I ordered.

It’s not a patient game yet, but I caved and got Alan Wake 2 the other week. In the early stages so far (the game’s quite scary!) but loving it.

I think Burnham was referencing Book, not Tyler, when she said she knows what it’s like to lose someone but got him back. Book died during the final events of 10C, but they magically zapped him back into existence, if I recall correctly.

I prefer the world-famous song “Press X to Jason”

Since it’s about the first 5-10 minutes of the game, it’s not a big spoiler.

Stupid Jason.

Not sure either, ENT rewatch was some years ago… I think that might’ve been another time version / shapeshifter or something something?

Hah, yes! Or O’Brien, the most important Starfleet officer in history!

As a show with so much promise, I often felt Disco reached for big concepts but never quite managed to get there. It would get bogged down with pathos and dragged out plot lines. Unfortunately, season 5 felt no different. This episode dragged on and on for me. Mol and L’ak had mostly become irrelevant and were completely unnecessary in this episode.

I get the series got axed and additional scenes were shot to round things out. But that random “we’re all hugging” scene? It was weird. And didn’t the actress who played Detmer say their absence was planned and revealing anything would be a big spoiler or something? Well. No, it really wasn’t.

Kovitsch was Daniels? I think at that point of the story, he could’ve been anyone and it wouldn’t have landed. He could’ve been Sloane (not dead after all!) and it would’ve made as much sense and be just as meaningful to the story.

The progenitor plot? With a tick list of “clues” and “challenges” to lead the way, but ultimately we decide your worthiness to reshape the universe as we know it with a geometry puzzle? I can’t even.

Discovery had potential, back in the day, but disappointed year on year. I had hoped this final season would offer redemption, but alas. Decent bunch of actors, but with subpar writing that usually went nowhere coherent. I won’t miss it. Glad it’s done. I hope Paramount learnt some valuable lessons from this and moves things on.

Something about the former Primarch really reminds me of Sarris from Galaxy Quest.

Did anyone else notice that the alien statues in 5x02 looked remarkably similar to the Batarians from Mass Effect?

Have a look at Three Minutes to Eight - small indie game released on Steam a while back. Haven’t given it a good run myself yet.

And as someone else mentioned: Oxenfree. Definitely good vibes there.

The Star Trek games I played growing up were 25th Anniversary (the ship battles were too complicated for 11yo me), later on I used my own pocket money and bought Final Unity. The Chodak are still a very cool alien race added to the universe. Loved those frog faces in space suits. :-)

Played and finished Elite Force and Armada. Earl Boehn (RIP) as a main villain was a moment of teenage glee being such a massive T2 and TNG nerd.

Interested in Resurgence, my husband recently played it on his PS5 but I don’t go near that machine. 😂

Will NEVER understand the people who lied to him in that scene. Or choose to shoot him in the back.

I was wondering if the “Previously” bit at the start was maybe Eugene Roddenberry, channeling his mum?

Loved the episode. Did I understand correctly that the Betazoids were travelling from planet to planet to find a cure for this rampant emotional telepathic event?

Does that mean T’Lyns powers extended that far?

Or were they secretly hunting for the alien ship? I got a little bit lost with the fast dialog.

On a random note, funny how in ten forward the two guys making out kept inserting themselves in almost every scene.

Here’s hoping he’ll have his version of Pet Sematary! :-)

Ah, thanks! I had indeed noticed the new transporter chief this season, wasn’t sure if Kyle was going to make a surprise come back or not.

Really enjoyed this one (again)!

Felt like it probably worked a bit less like a time travel mystery, but worked very well as a La’an character piece. She got to experience what it was like to live without the burden of her heritage, but realised that for the greater good, the bad things had to happen.

The plot contrivances were a bit on the nose, the convenience with which they located people and facilities in particular, but again, it didn’t bother me one bit. The emotional scene of La’an in her quarters, at the end, after her call with Kirk… great stuff!

I expected a Guinan-esque moment where she would hand the watch back to Pelia and they would just smirk and nod. I felt like Pelia was given her “the look” when she returned to the bridge at the end, so that may have been it. But then the “cliffhanger ending” where the camera focused on the watch? Who knows, Boimler may need to come back and fix this mess!

But also… no matter which timeline we’re in: Where did Chief Kyle go??? Was he too mean?
