(Also a lot of people explaining that no, cadets are ensigns when they graduate. Guys, I promise we know that.)
There's a small amount of overt racism, but mostly a lot of people going, "Oh no, Caleb is clearly an engineer" or "he has first officer vibes", and uh. The point. Missed.
One of our TikTok reels is a convo about Caleb moving into the command track, and learning to be ambitious in the context of Star Trek making Black characters work extra hard for command compared with white guys. And I do not love the comments we've received. I do not love them at all.
I love your recaps and I’m sorry for what went down in the comments. I don’t comment because Adam blocked me here so I try to stay out of his spaces, but I think your observations are thoughtful and reasonable.
It took 20 minutes, animal handling gloves and a light sedative to get Dale into his carrier, and he had to have his head covered to tolerate the grooming. Then Colin strolled out, cool as a cucumber, to rub his face on the vet’s legs. Can’t believe they’re related.
The vet visit the other day went well, and Dale has just had his first dose of Clomicalm. I’m glad I don’t have to get my anti-anxiety medication served in chicken mush.
No, he's just a sexist jackass
When I was six, I was one of two Anglo kids in a class that was mostly Lebanese kids who had fled the civil war and the 1982 Israeli invasion, and I think of my old classmates every time Israel bombs Lebanon. Which is a lot.
GOOD, but also, unfortunately I hate Fillion as well
It had exactly one thing I really liked, which is the silence of space. More shows should have copied that instead of the quips.
Exactly! Does she have a separate circle of friends, or is she isolated/becoming that weirdo who only hangs out with her brother? Etc. It captured that sense of "Oops, the semester just started and now it's over!" though.
The Lost Cause stuff, the overt sinophobia, the MAGA castmember, it is truly a series for the 2020s (derogatory).
Enterprise has aged better than Firefly, which is truly alarming when you think about it, so I'm just going to sit quietly in a corner and think about literally anything else.
Back in the 2000s I liked to share my hot take that Firefly should have been cancelled sooner, and I guess I'm excited to be able to revive that? But can I also have the skin elasticity and lack of knee pain that I enjoyed in 2002?
I really like that, in general, we only get a couple of teachers at a time, but yeah, it feels like they frontloaded the season with Lura. I assume because the make up is a LOT.
The cats are currently under my bed, and refuse to be drawn into discussions about private property and the means of production.
- BONUS EPISODE: War College POV. D'Zolo is the protagonist now, bitches!
- Final exams, Caleb realises this is a four-year commitment and he's ... kind of okay with that. Which is bad, because it's a betrayal of his mother. Probs a quieter episode with some sort of nonsense B plot like Darem stumbling into a cheating ring.
Episodes we needed between "Come, Let's Away" and "300th Night":
- Calica, again. Actual match against another school, does Sam 2.0 still want to play, how does Tarima feel about losing her place on the War College team?
Love this week's SFA, but it drove home my feeling that SFA needed a minimum 12 episodes for this season. It feels like a lot of character development has happened off screen between "Come, Let's Away" and now, while Caleb's search for his mother has been sidelined a bit.
Oh my god, not COMMUNISTS!
No, that’s why we record locally. I don’t even know if Discord records at all.
As a lactose intolerant person who loves ice cream, I relate to Darem
Discord and local recordings for us! Riverside is completely unusable for me.
I suppose you don't want to hear about my genetically strong enamel
(my siblings are in your boat, I just got lucky)
That sounds AMAZING!
I definitely feel less sanguine than a week ago about most of our flights to Europe stopping over in the Middle East ... but then I spent a good three minutes looking at flights to Japan and thinking, "23 hours in Ho Chi Minh City sounds rad!"
This was also a source of considerable confusion to me when they first appeared on the scene in the early 2000s! I don't actually listen to commercial radio, so all of a sudden Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was judging reality TV????
Yeah, I've gone from "I love the US and I'd love to go to Europe one day" to "I should visit my BFF in Japan again" and "maybe there's a non-trashy way to visit Bali?"
