I liked it but only as it was quite close to the comic, definitely understand why most others would dislike it

I avoid superhero comics (with a few exceptions like Watchmen) so sure as hell I was going to avoid the films

I did study it at school but had to take Classical Civilisation for one of my GCSE options. Our default in English Literature was a Shakespeare work as previously mentioned (Merchant of Venice for me). I also recall studying An Inspector Calls?

A tub of cold baked beans

I loved the Necron Pariahs and were sad when GW retconn'd them :( To me, there's something very pure about blanks, especially given the preponderance of Chaos in it's many guises as well as it's direct and indirect influence on the rest of the 40k setting

"Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it."

"Duet" gets me too

Along similar lines to the previous gothy comment, much of Borusiade's music fits in this category, being a mix of EBM and ambient influences. Check out Breathe as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj7L9RGr4p8

Edit: spoilers ahead, stands to reason I remember on the final LD episode

Loved loved loved the Wrath of Khan style shots of the Cerritos' saucer section, the DIS style Klingons, the ultimate fate of Starbase 80 and Carol along with it. Nice way to wrap it all up with a tribute to the ship's crew, but I'm still so sad it's the end at least for now. Time to hunt down the comics...

Holy crap, that was amazing. I guess the power of the multiverse is that, to quite 3 the Cole Porter standard, anything goes...

Loved this episode, weirdly my favourite aspect was seeing all the "Other Deck" characters again: Delta shift, Westlake, Barnes, Bingston, Meredith, Stevens and the cadet who needed help studying.

Stevens in particular showed his worth as an organised and thoughtful adjutant to the Captain, was great to see him as something other than Ransom's biggest fan or just the butt of jokes.

Heartfelt usually but not always equals The Tendi Effect on LD to me hah. I agree about the subplot being weak - both for Mariner and also Boimler/Rutherford which was pretty much a slapstick sketch.

I would've liked to see something like Boims struggling to think of a first book to take to T'Ana's book club, with Ruthie enthusiastically but haplessly trying to suggest things (usually engineering related)

Exactly my same combo with Vivaldi a Chromium backup

Aegis, Bitwarden, Librewolf, Mullvad and MEGA on my desktop

Of all time, The Cure's Disintegration. Lately, it's been Kangding Ray's Zero. Exactly what you need from a great techno record

I still remember when Double Negative was released, knocked me off my feet even as a long time fan of records like that and TWLITF. RIP Mimi 😢

Loved seeing more of the Cetacean Ops crew, plus those ENT unis

The Visitor will always be one of the most beautiful Trek episodes to me, RIP good sir 🫡

What docks do you have? Might bite the bullet and just get one, in retrospect I should've just waited to see what would definitely work.

Nevertheless, I do appreciate the suggestions from everyone! Definitely didn't think to try it with another display, oops

When do you plug the deck back to the dock? I tried this a few times with no luck :(
