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.
A Look Around You reference in the Wild? My day is made! ❤️
I like coffee Janeway memes the best.
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.
Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.
Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.
Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵
I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.
BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.
Yup, the older I get the more I appreciate Neelix.
Totally agree but also want to throw in the sexiness of the Enterprise too. Had to rewatch a scene b/c I was seriously like, “The design of this turbolift interior is hot. It’s making me sweat!” 🥵
Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).
It is infuriating to me how often people start explaining the rules without explaining what the actual goals are first. Like, what are we even doing here, start with that, m’kay?
Same! Even though I’m not excited about this timeframe in the Trek universe, I just became exponentially more excited knowing she’s involved.
That’s what bothered me the most. Like okay, in the moment you gotta make a shitty call, I get it. But then never going back to make it right? What the hell is that? That could made a great ep in itself, where you have to deal with the price you paid in order to win.
But nothing, not even a throwaway line. Ugh.
I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.
My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.
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.
