It’s so interesting to see these characters so early in the actors’ terms with them. Riker seems more or less as he always does, though until he grows the beard he’ll just be wee babby Will. Picard has a Francophonic quirk of swearing in French that’s quickly abandoned. Brent Spiner hasn’t really fi...

This is so different from the Ferengi as we see them later.

This is definitely an artifact of its time, the old TV model. A lot of time was spent establishing characters and relationships and for a good chunk in the middle not a lot happened.

Count me in for the watch party!

I've finished up the Dinocalypse trilogy and King Khan . There was quite a shift in voice between authors in the Dinocalypse stories as Carrie Harris took over for the third book. I'm glad she didn't try to mimic Chuck Wendig's style; that wouldn't have worked. I enjoyed the trilogy quite a lot. Kin...

There's a lot to unpack here. My first impression and understanding is that it refers specifically to MC moves, but I don't have a game handy at the moment to cite chapter and verse. There's reasoning behind this. First is that it not speaking the name of MC moves keeps the MC interactions specifica...
