  So this episode was a close miss for me, it’s like it had the framework to be a good episode but they just didn’t finish it up correctly.

  so this episode...

  The whole debate thing with Jay-Den saying Klingons must be Klingons, yeah duh, everyone knows that, weak! And the thing with the fake battle, really no one else thought of it? Honestly ST always had problems portraying Klingons consistently, they usually make them appear so dumb you wonder how they can manage to keep their fricking starships operational. Speaking of inconsistency, Darem was introduced in E01 being an asshole for no reason, then five minutes after changed completely, now he’s even a wannabe-counsellor? I’m all for character growth, but there was none, it was more like character switch.
  Loved the quote from The Drumhead, loved hearing the Klingon theme once again, I would have loved to hear it a bit longer. Picardo is killing it as usual.

  So, I’m seeing a slight improvement. I’m still hopeful this show can sediment into something good. I’m worried how they seem to have picked a protagonist once again, a thing I hated from Discovery.

  It’s a bit weird that losing Qonos somehow wiped out the whole Klingon empire.

  I agree that the resolution should be obvious, and after the Betazed episode, it is again ridiculous that political problems are solved at a school, but then again, it was ridiculous that Picard solved all problems in the galaxy.

  Eh, that’s just how shows work. Just imagine that there are a slew of other problems being solved off-screen by characters we never met.

  I was alive during the '90s, I’m Italian, we had the Yugoslavian Wars, my country was involved in the Kosovo war… If you asked anyone on the street they would have told you we were living in the most peaceful time in recent history.

  The Federation is huge, it’s plausible that an important conflict like the one with the Cardassians still ranked low compared to those with the Klingons or Romulans.

  Calling it retconning is a strech when it mostly added new story where there was none.

  “FUORI!” would be more likely, or “SCIÒ!” (shoo)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The French have good bread as well. Not as good as what we have in Italy of course, but well, they’re doing their best!

  This one was a bit better than the first two, but still not my cup of tea.

  Spoiler

  I appreciate the idea of moving the starfleet headquarters, I always found the Earth (US) centricity to be unrealistic. I still hope this whole future created by DIS to be retconned away, though.

  I was not aware slave labour was an issue in wine production.

  Irregular employment, sure, but slaves?

  When I used DDG, the !g bang to search on Google became wired in my brain to “get me better results, please”, so much that I sometimes tried using it in Google search too.

  That goes for the whole article, if you swapped the genders the outrage would be unfathomable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Bots That Women Use in a World of Unsatisfying Men⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So men who seek AI partners are painted as losers whose situation is mostly their own, or society’s, fault, while women doing the same is men’s fault.

  I’m all for improving everyone’s behavior, in and out of relationships, but this doesn’t strike me as constructive messaging.

  Northern Italy here. We are having the coldest winter in 10 years.

  Idk where in the North are you, but around these parts the “exceptional” cold just means it’s been a winter like the ones we used to have in the past, young people just don’t remember, or, no discrimination intended, they’re not from around here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History of Biodynamics⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just an excuse to differentiate themselves, it happens in cycles, first they went with the “biological” label, but gradually every wine became “bio”, so they found some other bullshit. Now that they’ve saturated that one as well, they’ll find something else>

  IIRC it used to be 50 hours. Most people don’t hit that.

  Adding this limit doesn’t make sense then. Why anger your customers for minimum benefit?
