Am working my way through Voyager @ the moâ, so will be interesting to see how that pans out (never saw it originally) & how she fits into the new Picard narrative.

No time now but huge Marvel news yesterday. Gotta go see my hungover modelsâŚ
Goosebumps
Stumbled on this on Twatter- not sure if youâve seen it or if itâs posted above. Regardless, enjoy. (Picard sounds like an old man - like my Dad in fact - though heâs not my Dad)

So Iâve finally finished watching Discovery S2. Iâve mixed feelings about it. I liked much about the characters. I even loved that one episode had a âpreviously on Star Trekâ and then went on to show excerpts from the 60s show, which the episode directly tied into. The episode on Saruâs home planet was also very good.
That all said, the show is replete with big dumb plotting moments which I canât really reconcile myself with. A good example was the required destruction of Discovery, which fails on the first attempt because of the AI protecting itself. Fair dos, so why not just try again by parking it next to a giant source of gravity, like a star? Why not try placing something independently explosive right next to the warp core? Why not just try giving it a bit more welly? The ship was almost destroyed in the last episode by the AI, after all. Even that didnât make sense. The AI sends a shitload of drones at Discovery, the one ship that happens to have the thing it wants on-board.
Apparently, the show had three different show-runners during this season and it fucking shows. It is a beautiful looking mess. Youâd hope theyâd do something decent with the ending, but personally, I canât see it. There is an excellent premise they could draw on just waiting in the wings.
I think theyâll end up drawing it in crayon.

In Voyager today, Captain Katherine Janeway was punched in the face and it did make me laugh. Itâs part 1 of 2 but I have no idea when part 2 is on.

I used to like you but laughing at Catherine Janeway getting punched is not cool man, not coolâŚ

It was just unexpected. I thought Iâd seen them all so to see an alien just turn around and full on punch her in the face caught me by surprise. Am I ashamed that I laughed? NO IâM FUCKING NOT
Dude, they had fluidic space in Voyager, a concept so strange that there are squiggly lines underneath the term fluidic.
If getting punched in the face was such a comedy highpoint, how comes Jimmy Carr isnât being fucking battered on stage?
And how can we make life âfunnierâ?
Could we re-enact that scene?
With most Politicians playing the part of Janeway?

If anyone is interested, part 2 was on today. The crew were stranded on some planet and had to make fire using sticks and Janewayâs hair as kindling.
Pubic? If so I definitely donât remember that episode.

Would you leave Kate alone please, youâre nothing but a misogynist when it comes to starship captains
No not pubic.
Geek mode on.
public is a keyword in a lot of programming languages.
e.g.
public class Hair {
}
Which sometimes gets typed as 
pubic class Hair {
}
But my personal favourite is the common Perl 5.0 mistake when doing object oriented programming.
Conventionally, the first line of any class was:-
my $self = shift;
Occasionally, one would type:-
my $self = shit;
And it would be true.
