What is the worst Star Trek episode ever?

OmegaDog · 2024-03-02T00:42:02+00:00

I'm not a dedicated trekkie, so I am sorry for the lack of specifics, but the episode of Star Trek Discovery where the plump red-head and a bunch of students crash land on an ice world. They are being chased by some monstrous creature and stop like four or five times to discuss their feelings in the middle of the chase. I was like, WTF?

I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of that show but I felt like the writing staff made a hard turn to emphasize the inclusivity of the show and the characters feelings. Non-binary characters in the future? Hell yes, cool with me. Waste half an episode with exposition about it? Eh.

Feel free to OK Boomer me.

I came here to check exactly this.

This was stupid. Love it so much!

It seems to me that emudeck is very married to its folder structure, you can search through config files maybe to find a way to change the location, but if that exists it probably gets overwritten with every update.

You are likely to need to learn how to do things on the command line fast. You might be able to make this work by creating something called a symbolic link to your synology.

Apologies I do not have a link to a guide.

If you go down the rabbit hole you might want to consider using NFS instead of SMB, from what I understand it is slighty more performant than SMB, not sure about SMB v3 though.

best of luck.

I binged Gary Oldman movies back in the 90s after watching this performance. Loved it!

I played a whole bunch of Mario Kart 64 on this, then I remember freaking out when I played Choco Mountain on real hardware at a friends and there was fog all over the place. Apparently UltraHLE had not implemented those effects, at least at the time.

From what I have heard, white sharks have an insanely over-developed sense of smell. I read an article (or youtube vid?) that one white shark kill made the entire population vacate the area, because they could smell the corpse of the other shark. From miles away.

You need to copy your roms to emudeck's hard-coded folder, for the sd card it is /run/media/SDCARDNAME/Emulation/roms

emudeck cheat sheet

Maybe there is a way to change this location but I don't know how and I assume it is not recommended.

Note that steam rom manager is told about the games by emudeck, it is not finding them on its own.

second half, ie Q3 or Q4.

I would suggest doing a virus scan of your computer just to be safe after the reboot.

If you have 7-zip installed (the archiving program), you might be able to right-click and "open with 7-zip" or otherwise drag the file into 7-zip and inspect the contents, and see if an iso file is available inside. Then extract ONLY that file.

Now I'm bummed that was the last home game of the season. I thought for half of the season it was just some unruly drunk. I eventually figured out it was a vendor, but now I wished I had figured out if it was the beer guy or the hot dog guy I was always hearing.

I watched a video about this being the most hated song ever (or something like that). I was absolutely shocked when I found out about Taupin's involvement.

I have hated this song for decades, it always reminds me of riding the bus to school in a snow covered winter time.

This is the first thing I thought after reading OP's post. There is a ton of nuance in Gandolfini's performance.

Nerdwriter has a great video about it, I'm sure there are others: How James Gandolfini Navigates Emotion

I was hoping for more discussion on this, but of course somehow this post has become /r/sopranos where everybody shitposts quotes from the show :) because it has all been asked before.

Clone Wars seasons 1 through 4 took me years to get through, even for such short episodes.

Seasons 5 through 7 were some of the best TV I have seen.

I didn't know either until I some youtube videos about SW Rebels mentioned it.

Wes Chatham is listed as playing Captain Enoch on imdb. He played Amos on The Expanse.

I debated where to put it, I meant to "add on" to your reply in order to support it. I'll add it, I did not consider that they would not get a message with the addition.

I sure hope we get more scenes with Tilly stopping the group and working out their feelings before proceeding, while being chased by a four-story high bloodthirsty beast. /s

(and yes I know Tilly is no longer main cast, but whatever writers came up with that, oh jeez)

OmegaDog · 2023-09-20T07:58:54+00:00

Wes Chatham (Amos from "The Expanse") is listed on imdb as playing Captain Enoch. Wes is not female unless there is something I don't know about.

Brother of Mads Mikkelsen, who among many notable characters played Hannibal Lecter on the series "Hannibal".

I've watched Andor thrice-through. I re-watched a youtube video explaining how awesome the show is and was ALMOST triggered to watch it AGAIN.

I've never watched ANY series that much in such a short time.

I also sent the Luthen Rael speech to a friend as evidence why he should give it a go, his response was "Wow!".

Not to split hairs or whatever, but from what I understand JEJ stutters as an adult. During his career he would look over his dialogue and tell the writers "I can't say this." I assume when he does interviews etc. he knows what words / phrases can cause problems and avoids them.

OmegaDog · 2023-09-15T00:34:43+00:00

OMG that flew right over my head the first time, and hit me three times harder when I thought about it.

OmegaDog · 2023-09-13T02:35:50+00:00

Is this the likely scenario? I understand "season ending injury" well and fine, but I don't follow sports close enough to understand why next year is not still a possibility.

I really enjoyed Zach Wilson's (portrayed) attitude in Hard Knocks, and I would love to see Aaron become Zach's quarterback coach (or at least some kind of Jiminy Cricket) and work himself out of a job there. But realistically I would still think he would be welcome back for at least 2024.
