I remember reading an article in “Star Trek: The Magazine” that fans were convinced it was practical effects, but the sequence was actually CGI.
The fact that the CGI was indistinguishable from traditional methods is honestly really really impressive for the era.
McMahan confirmed the season plot will come into focus in the next two episodes:
“The finale does. Episode 9 does to a lesser extent. But 10 is like a movie. It’s wonderful.”
I’m guessing either the Cerritos or the Sh’Val is disabled at the end of the next episode, then the remaining ship has to rescue the other in the finalé.
You’d probably end up with the next generation of conversation therapy involving full blood transfusions.
I played the original on the DS.
I thought it was cute how the person she was interviewing would give her story on the top screen, while on the bottom we got the protagonist’s internal thoughts, which were 100% unrelated to the information she was gaining.
It’s not a bad series. Kinda like a weird quaint cross between weird Earthbound-like fantasy and Ace Attorney Investigations.
It was nice to see a somewhat T’Ana centered story. Assuming she appears at all, she’s either making out with Shaxs or doing cat things.
Surprised it took so long to meet Levy. It played out as one might expect.
Glad we got some quality time with Delta Shift. We’ve had a few episodes featuring them, but they’re mostly off screen or limited to short exchanges.
As a whole package, I don’t think this episode worked as well as Veritas. There wasn’t a central story tying the four tales together. You could probably cut the hub tale, and possibly Tendi’s turbo lift tale, and not lose anything of value.
You’re not wrong, but think of it in terms of Biden tolerating this evil nonsense has the potential to curtail Trump actively encouraging or even instigating more and worse.
Think of it as less kicking the can down the road, as it is kicking the can out of Trump’s hand before he has a chance to pick it up and do something we’ll all regret more.
The unfortunate reality is that a not insignificant portion of US voters conflate modern Israel with biblical Israel.
Any stance other than full support of anything Israel does will stick Biden with the Right version version of being racist: an antisemite—and getting that label is enough to get apathetic right leaning voters to go to the polls.
Trump played the Israel card all the time and his base loved him so much for it that they would plug their ears whenever his crimes came to light.
Biden has the unenviable position where if he shows any signs of disapproval of Israel’s actions, he risks another Trump presidency. (Which is absolutely insane considering the whole insurrection thing.)
I feel like I’m reading clickbait.
Only 13 states are participating in the roll out… still. That’s better than the 0 we’re currently experiencing.
One of the main criticisms of the program is that it the direct file pilot only covers individual federal tax returns and does not prepare state returns. However, IRS officials said they are working with Arizona, California, Massachusetts and New York for filing season 2024 to integrate state taxes into the pilot.
Taxpayers in nine other states that don’t have an income tax – Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — may also be eligible to participate in the pilot, according to the IRS.
As an aside, the wording in the article makes me feel like the people putting this forward have a gun to their head and they’re trying really hard not to piss TurboTax off.
The boy was stabbed 26 times and succumbed to his injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
The 32-year-old woman, who had more than a dozen stab wounds, is recovering at the hospital and is expected to survive, the office said.
Yeah, I think I remember reading that when paying cash the areas of the brain that register pain are activated in ways that paying with ‘convenient’ methods don’t.
Personally, I pay via credit card, and pay that off weekly—so I’m never caught off guard with how much I owe. Probably not the greatest thing in the world regarding a credit score, but it keeps me on top of my finances.
Huh… never knew that tidbit.
It’s easy to imagine if that reality had come to play, we’d get the Tom Paris treatment… but I can’t help but wonder if we might’ve gotten a Captain Brahms.
