Right. OnlyFans. I guess I just skimmed it.

Also, "A Quality of Mercy" is not the best episode by any means, nor does "Those Old Scientists," an episode which I enjoyed, deserve to be number two.

Also, I realize these ratings are made by the same people who put Subspace Rhapsody in the bottom third, but in no universe is "The Elysian Kingdom" worse than "Wedding Bell Blues." www.imdb.com/list/ls56238...

Usually, I'd swap a "story" or "plot" in there instead of saying "episode" three times, but "A Space Adventure Hour" doesn't warrant those things. An "episode" is a product. A thing that's produced for consumption but is *socially* distinct from "content." Usually has that other stuff, but not here.

Just downright dogshit of an episode. It would have been better if the franchise hadn't paused the awful episode to jerk itself off for a minute before continuing the shit-assed episode.

The four episodes of season three I watched were: Star Trek, "TOS callback," Star Trek, and "TNG callback," which averaged out to bad.

If musicals, puppets, LWD crossovers, and The Elysian Kingdom can make good episodes, then just do that. "Every TNG holodeck episode but worse" isn't working.

It IS kinda funny that most of these Classic Who episodes with Daleks include some form of explaining how Davros survived last time. A cliche, but better than "somehow, Davros returned."

VanVelding @vanvelding.bsky.social · 1d

There's a number of classic Dr. Who episodes on YouTube and--RAGING sexism aside--Revelation of the Daleks is one of the best I've seen so far. youtu.be/ivRC-zlfMdc?...

Having your house shared from bodycam tape can't be worst part of being shot in yr home by cops, but

Me, bleeding out because cops couldn't tell Country Street from Country Way and my Timber Wolf mini looked menacing: "It's not...usually...this messy. Work...has just been...crazy this week."

VanVelding @vanvelding.bsky.social · 2d

The demo's over, but you can still play in the one sector.
The fail state seems generous, with lots of specific missions generating telling you how to unfuck yourself and the ship flying at 0 morale for a WHILE. Crew do leave (what do they even do?) but you will eventually get mutinied. Eventually.

I do love a dialog decision that's one decision and it's Captain Janeway saying "Fire."

VanVelding @vanvelding.bsky.social · 2d

It's not fair to ask me to make this Classic Voyager Decision in the "Make Voyager Decisions" Game.

Dialog option asking if I'd like to destroy the Caretaker's Array or use it to return home knowing the Kazon will use it to destroy the Ocampa.

VanVelding @vanvelding.bsky.social · 2d

The writing is...enough. And the spelling is British. There's a typo when Janeway responds to the Kazon calling for reinforcements. I paused during a fight and the sound kept looping. No tooltips for when an enemy ship is removed from combat. This demo is rough as hell.

Still interested though.
