There’s so much to love about “Home.” Don’t miss @abbymsommer.bsky.social and my conversation about its similarities to TNG’s “Family” and Voyager’s “The Gift” after our regular discussion.
**🚀🖖NEW EPISODE ALERT🖖🚀**

It’s time to go “Home” with the NX-01 crew, meet Captain Hernandez, T’Pol’s mom, and examine the aftermath of the Xindi attack on Earth—and that’s just scratching the surface of this excellent episode of Enterprise! As Archer would say, let’s go!

Sorry to SpacedockPost on Sojourn, but just want to signal boost this unfortunate situation.

The game and DLCs are heavily discounted on GOG so grab em if you've ever wanted to.

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock was my first gig with a major sci-fi IP and a fond memory for me. Very sad outcome.

Pray tell, why does he need/want more money?
Furthermore why are people willing to give him more?

This is greed pure and simple.

Come hear Abby and Chris talk about this solid, transitional, and pivotal episode of season 4! I was honored to share my thoughts on the cold open.

(and just how beautiful is that Bay Stadium jutting out over my sparkling SF Bay?) ✨

We released our Second Contact episode today about the #StarTrekENT episode Future Tense. Bill and Maria tell us what they thought of the not-a-tardis ship and stegasaurus time loops. Plus, we chat about the treasure trove that is the Memory Alpha page for "profanity."

Oh the irony!
NOW they are concerned about poor refereeing!
Remember that time when Rangers didn't concede a penalty once?

Evening guys, got another Rikermendation for you. Maria's shown a fondness for British TV. The new series of 'Shetland' is back on tonight. It's a show initially based on some books by Ann Cleeves but has evolved over time.
If you like a good whodunnit this is for you.

Couple of things.
Kyrgios is not the man I would chose to compete in this match. He's no where near the level of player required to take on Sabalenka.
She's wipe the floor with him, but I don't think it'll prove anything meaningful.
This is nothing short of a gimmick...& not a particularly good one

I applaud Rachel Reeves' intention today to be transparent about what she's going to do in the upcoming Budget. However, I question her execution.
I would've preferred less rhetoric & more substance. The British people deserves a fuller explanation of what she wants to do in a clear & concise way.

Walking to get my bus into the office this dark morning listening to Oct Trek of the Month and suddenly...'One Moon circles...' enters my ears.
Freaked me the f**k out, so congrats on that 🤣

Why oh why are we continuing to give Farage airtime?
He's clearly trying to dominate the news cycle every week with these weekly policy announcements.
I wasn't aware that there was an Election coming up. Why is he acting like he's campaigning?
Is he trying to normalise us seeing him on our screens?

I really felt for Balvinder being in tonight's Dance Off again. Given her performance on Saturday I don't think she deserved that.
Harry didn't have a great night and I got bored by George's routine.
Bal, you got one of my votes last night. Chin up and keep going #strictly
