Yeah, unfortunately basic geography means there's likely a hard limit on how much diversification is realistic.

We absolutely should do everything we can to reduce our reliance on the US, but options become limited once you remove rail and road from the equation.

F-Droid is apparently in the works, but not yet.

Pfft you're gonna believe some ivory tower elites in...

I liked how William Boimler was so done with Multiverse fatigue. Felt topical given the current Hollywood trend.

Agreed - it was nice to see them tackle multiverse fatigue head-on. It was even nicer to have Lily(!) provide a bit of a rebuttal to it, and argue that such stories don't have to be hacky.

I've found the season to be a little lacklustre, but I really liked this one. The gags seemed like more than just gags, and the story was more engaging than I thought many of them have been recently.

Having Jolene ~~Blalock~~ back was a real treat.

Sahar is “super old,” extending his life through genetic augmentation and cryo sleep.

This is a somewhat different take from what I've been thinking - my interpretation of things that have been revealed so far is that he's an unfrozen Augment prisoner in the Khan tradition.

I get it. I'm obsessed with Streamline Moderne, myself.

Retro-futurism at its finest.

Well...retro now.

I'm glad to finally get a hint of a plot, even though it sound pretty much like what I expected it to be.

Sam Richardson's character sounds pretty entertaining based on a single line.

My partner and I (well, her really) have pretty modern taste, and coincidentally own a couple of lamps from the newer shows.

I'm guessing he still would have been compelled to sing...but the content of his song may have been different, as he would have had different things on his mind at the time.

Maybe a number about gaseous anomalies.

I thought this was a nice palate-cleanser.

The premise is a genre staple, including of course the original "Lower Decks" episode. I particularly enjoyed just how full of bullshit a typical day is for Captain Freeman.
