@travisromany Sounds a bit like #KillingGame @allstartrek

@travisromany @allstartrek Yeah, one of the best two-parters of the show—enjoy!

@ColesStreetPothole @arazil @travisromany @allstartrek Instead of the Kazon, the Vidiians are actually frightening. Though, barely used, quite effectively written.

@kcarr2015 @allstartrek Absolutely. And just because, Tuvok and Neelix would lay down their lives for members of the crew, one cannot just that as sole justification for killing(!) Tuvix because he combines both Neelix and Tuvix without also acknowledging the opposite: That Tuvok and Neelix would let Tuvix live.

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Feelings are … complicated

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek At least, Neelix's love for Kes is stronger than Tuvok's for T'Pel. Sure, they probably concur in them meeting is agreeable but that's about it in terms of romantic feelings. So when having feelings … let's just say, the choice is not … equal

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek It's not just about marriage length but more so about Vulcans suppressing feelings—but at least, we see him exploring feelings in that one episode where he has some kind of amnesia.

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Yep, you're right

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek I wholeheartedly agree. Creating is awesome but it involves choosing from infinite possibilities, anticipating the outcome, staying on budget and finding common ground with enough people in the decision-making chain. And of course: Having to go on strike if your employer refuses to pay you reasonably.

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Also, the amount of people to pick it apart is infinite, so someone will definitely always find something. You can't plan ahead for this. Nonetheless, (and even if I dislike her decision) the episode is great—as is so much of Voyager

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Yeah, that makes sense. There could have been a scene afterwards, where she—as always—might be disturbed in letting her guard down for just a moment.

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek It's Tuvok, it's Neelix! It's two guys, in-a-fix! It's Tuuuuvix! 🎶

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Count me in!

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Rewatching the scene, it could have been a bit less subtle but besides that: Yes, the scene tells it all. No need for additional scenes emphasizing her emotional weight added

@ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Tuvix scoring off the Borg—if that isn't something 😂 👍🏻

But yeah, I see your point and have to agree. One of the darkest, most philosophical and astonishingly acted episodes of the show.

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@kcarr2015 @ColesStreetPothole @allstartrek Well, first, this is highly philosophical. Even though, called that way, I don't necessarily think of it as an execution, yet, the fact can't be overlooked that the act was done unconsentingly—which, considering the morals of the Federation, should be at least highly questionable if not justiciable

shaedrich, 7 months ago

@ColesStreetPothole @kcarr2015 @allstartrek Makes sense 👍🏻

@negative12dollarbill @Montaagge @bookstodon That's how it works for other series of books just as well. Do you expect the next book in the series to spawn just on the predecessor's publication date? Consequentially, you'd have to say, kids shouldn't read book series that are not finished yet. Writing a book takes time. That's only natural.

@DocCarms @bookstodon "It was raining real hard the day we buried my daddy. Mama said it was because the angels were crying; but after hours of drenching downpour I doubted the angels were crying tears of joy about seeing Daddy in heaven but instead were downright upset about him there."

@negative12dollarbill @Montaagge @bookstodon I'm not sure if I'm the one missing the point here. Your observation is right - and so is what I said about book series, however, as I said, this is about J. K. Rowling. And at least in that point, she's not that special and for once, it's not her fault but ist how things work

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek Well, that's a cliffhanger

shaedrich, 10 months ago

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek Does he have another purpose?

shaedrich, 10 months ago

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek That's like what we have seen in Harry Kim's alternate reality episode
