Ok note to self sometimes rules contain more than “don’t be a jerk” statements and there may be a test.

In other words don’t skim read and think “Well I’m not a jerk” as you will embarrass yourself and then not know how to fix it.

If I was normal I would forget about this in… idk how long do normal people feel bad? A day maybe? This will probably bother me for a month and then my brain will sporadically remind me when something triggers the memory for years.

Aaaand this is one of the reasons why I don’t like interacting with people /sigh

So the new Obi-Wan Kenobi came for the throat with the feels huh?

I mean I figured from the point in the timeline it would be painful but I underestimated. Ouch.

I’ve only watched episode 1. I was going to watch both but I think I need time to recover. That was a lot.

Obi-Wan Kenobi first episode hitting me with every feel going 😭 like Order 66 check, Obi-Wan having heartbreaking nightmares check, Obi-wan’s confidence shaken check, Bail being an amazing dad check.

Obi-Wan being destroyed by the mission to watch over Luke, having to hear as more Jedi who initially escaped are killed, having to actively deny help because he couldn’t risk being exposed.

Leia being adorable and so on point with what she said to her cousin was about the only thing that didn’t make me want to cry.

I mean amazing doesn’t quite cover it. They really nailed it in episode 1 IMO. I’m not sure my heart can take much more. Too many feeeeeels.

The only criticism is one I had months ago when the trailer dropped because the Grand Inquisitor is nothing compared to his Rebels appearance. That is disappointing.

Finale thinky thoughts! As in I like to make it make sense.

I think they went back to their original bodies, not the confederation ones. They were in the same clothes as episode 1. They hadn’t just been transported.

Rios wasn’t there either. But Q cosmic power, handwaving. I mean technically the Stargazer blew up so he rewound time as well. So being like “you back in your original bodies” oh and due to time travel “you two aren’t there” is just Q being Q

To be honest I think the only reason Seven got re-borgified is so casual fans wouldn’t then be confused how she was XB again after Q clicked his fingers. It wasn’t actually a necessary thing for Seven to be an XB in the main timeline

While I’ve been feeling so crappy I have been playing a bit more PS5. I started with the Guardians of the Galaxy game and it was very good, surprisingly so actually. I was wary about it and didn’t buy it until the reviews came in as the Avengers game by the same company sucked but I digress. Anyway I stopped with Guardians because I remembered Uncharted.

I saw a trailer for it. I’m a sucker for archaeological adventures and I thought it would be fun. This is despite the fact that I didn’t really get into the Tomb Raider game when I played it.

So because I’m a perfectly normal person I got the Nathan Drake collection for Christmas. I got quite a few games for Christmas and hadn’t got round to playing it by the time my birthday came. So obviously the logical thing to do was ask for the Legacy of Thieves collection. Because obtaining all 5 games before even trying them makes perfect sense.

Honestly I don’t know why I’m like this. I sort of did the same with Assassin’s Creed. I played a few hours of Origin at least but then thanks to the Steam sale obtained the rest. I have zero chill.

Anyway I have played the total campaigns of 1 & 2 (Drake’s Fortune & Among Thieves). Fortunately I did like them very much. I played on Easy and it was not always easy. So seeing Platinum requires a complete run through of all difficulty modes including Crushing that’s not looking likely. Which is a shame because I have been trying to 100% games lately. I guess I did 100% complete the campaign at least.

To be honest given how compelling I have found the games I may give a play through of normal a try at some point. I doubt that will go well but who knows! Perhaps if I play the games more my rubbish skills may level up a little bit.

Oh! And I have been very amused by the fact that Chloe in the game is voiced by Claudia Black (Vala on Stargate). She is awesome. Also I very much want to see the Uncharted movie now. Although I’m torn because on one hand Tom Holland looks too young, and on the other hand an older man would struggle to parkour like Drake does. Perhaps if I see it then I’ll reach an actual conclusion.

what still bother me the most in picard s1 is the way picard asked for help… especially from raffi and elnor

[warning: hardcore picard/st fans who accept no criticism please don’t come after me, im just stating my opinion here without tagging, thank you]  

Keep reading

I agree with you completely.

Full disclosure I have seen all the TNG movies + the first two seasons. I am working on the rest but you know time.

However I don’t think the lack of having seen Picard in action prior changes a damn thing when it comes to how entitled Picard acted in season 1. Raffi and Elnor were new characters but they were shown to have had a prior bond with Picard. Elnor saw him as a kinda father figure/hero/the person that saved him and was trying to save the rest of his people. Raffi had served with Picard as his XO I think. They had a different dynamic than Picard had with Riker but they had worked closely together for some time and were clearly close as Raffi called him JL.

Then the Romulan/Mars mess happened and Picard dropped them both. He was dealing with his own crap and 14 years happened. Ok understandable but how he treated them during Picard season 1 was inexcusable. He just assumed they would do what he wanted. He manipulated them emotionally using guilt and disappointment, as well as hitting triggers for them. There was no apology really. Just entitlement. He presumed he had a right to demand from them even though he gave up any right to ask them for anything when he dropped them both. Just his general attitude was appalling.

I found it terrible that Picard “didn’t want to call on Riker and the TNG crowd” because they would help him out of loyalty. Instead he went to Raffi who “had nothing left to lose” – talk about taking advantage of the vulnerable.

I wasn’t happy with Picard when I watched the first time but on the rewatch I did last week I got angry. I felt so bad for Raffi and Elnor and how he played them.

s3 let’s go

ensign tuvok: [making coffee for his captain] 

janeway: you never brought me tea

I LOVE THEM

tuvok: ever since I entered the academy, I’ve had to endure the egocentric nature of humanity. you believe that everyone in the galaxy should be like you, that we should all share your sense of humour and your human values. 

i mean… he’s not wrong tho. so far what I’ve seen on voyager, people like tuvok and seven are expected to behave and express emotions like the majority… it’s unsettling 

That’s always been one of the ‘darker’ sides to StarFleet and the federation that I wish had been explored more. Instead everytime they touch upon it they always backtrack to “oh but we are right so that’s ok” and no?

I mean if StarFleet was just human then fine but it’s so intertwined with the federation which is supposed to be a equal cooperative? Like a United Nations of the stars as I understand it.

Have we ever seen a non human Captain? Do the non humans on a ship ever out number a human crew? Are they always the minority? Like that can’t be an accident. The admirals and leaders of starfleet are usually mostly human. Sure some of it is probably out of universe money as they don’t have to do makeup for too many characters but still :/

It’s Tuesday so I was going to start posting the Soulmate AU fic Time Will Tellbuuuuut I haven’t done the graphics so a weeks pause between stories.

I’ve barely done anything this month. I’ve felt quite unwell 🙁 I think perhaps it might be less physical now but is being perpetuated by a depression slump. Sometimes that takes me months before I pull myself out a tiny bit. Honestly it feels like I get a tiny way up the rope, the top is still waaaaay up there, but I keep sliding back and falling into the pit. It’s harder and harder each time to even bother to try going up again. Like what’s the point? 🙁

I thought it didn’t mention anything about Janeway giving up? I remember the line Seven said was “Janeway went to bat for me, threatened to resign, but… I gave it up, went full Ranger.”

Well we saw how well “big play bluff resignations” went with Picard. Seven knew Starfleet was everything to Janeway so gave it up to save Janeways career. It was the logical thing to do. Also Seven sacrifices for her friends 😦

Ok rewatching 2.02 the confederation and taking notes.

First I had said that Raffi’s line later (which I still laugh at everytime re: Picard and transplants “all of them”) was a continuity error as they were in the confederation bodies not their own. But Q in an off the cuff remark says Picard does have a synth body due to battle damage. I hadn’t fully clocked that first time through.

Second (and far more importantly 😉) Seven is in distress, confused, having woken up without her implants in this strange place. She hears the door and says “Raffi?” And the response

“Raffi is on her way”

I totally missed that the first time. Mind = blown.

Oh. insert lots of swearing

It’s “coffee” is coming 😭 I thought he said “Raffi is coming I assure you”

Ok sad face. I really did think he said Raffi /sigh but I guess Seven said Raffi and he misheard and thought she said coffee. Bugger.
