Madison_rogue OP , 10 months ago to Politics in [News] Wisconsin lawsuit asks new liberal-controlled Supreme Court to toss Republican-drawn maps

The incoming court from the election is just getting seated. There is a several month long lame duck session with the court. That’s why nothing has been done yet.

Honestly MAGA doesn't care about that. Trump is a strongman to them; nothing that says differently will sway their opinion.

Madison_rogue , 10 months ago to Star Trek in Jim Kirk on Pike’s Enterprise - Inverse dives into an analysis of canon constraints and lack thereof

I would surmise that Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow has somewhat altered the main timeline, and there could be some minor adjustments with the characters to accommodate the story that showrunners want to tell.

I'd consider the Pike/Kirk relationship to be a minor thing. If they meet again, I'd be okay with it if the story broke some of the canon. I mean, they already changed the timeline of the Eugenics War, so is it a huge deal if Pike and Kirk come face to face a couple more times throughout the series?

Madison_rogue , 10 months ago to Star Trek in "We Didn't Know It Was The End": Jonathan Frakes On Directing Star Trek Discovery Series Finale

I like it as well, yet I didn't find a place in Trek forums until I left Reddit last month. So this is new territory for me. Take it in stride, there are other Discovery fans out there.

That's an interesting metric. Apparently the vitriol for Discovery is mostly contained to the internet.

This comes as no shock at all.

Madison_rogue , 11 months ago to Star Trek in Interview: ‘Strange New Worlds’ Director Jeff Byrd On Exploring The Dark Soul Of Star Trek At War

I could only keep drawing parallels in Babs' performance to Jamis in Dune. It's like he brought the tension in that fight scene with Paul Atreides to the entirety of this episode. He is an amazing actor, and I love how he brings this mystery to M'benga, and how writers continue to peel his layers away as the series progresses.

I would like to see an Otegas focused episode though. While there was some focus with her in this episode, it was definitely overshadowed by M'benga and Chapel.

Madison_rogue OP , 11 months ago to Politics in Analysis: DeSantis is defending new slavery teachings. Civil rights leaders see a pattern of 'policy violence'

He's really mad he never got invited to drag shows. You can tell.

Madison_rogue OP , 11 months ago to Politics in Analysis: DeSantis is defending new slavery teachings. Civil rights leaders see a pattern of 'policy violence'

I honestly don't think you get more racist, you just go "mask off."

Madison_rogue OP , 11 months ago to Star Trek in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.8 - Under The Cloak Of War

Sean, while I love it when you point out uniforms, I really don't enjoy a five minute conversation on uniform comparisons between shows as you give it a down.

/end rant

But seriously, this episode was grim, and I really liked it.

I don't doubt that at all.

Madison_rogue OP , 11 months ago to Star Trek in Ups & Downs From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.7 - Those Old Scientists

Literally translates to "Time Portal." Yeah that was hilarious.

Sean didn't mention La'an's timing in the shuttle when she catches Boimler and Mariner in the shuttle just after she says "I never get caught." That was really funny as well.

Honestly there's just so much in this episode, that even after several viewings I'm sure you'd still be picking out small references and easter eggs here and there.

Madison_rogue OP , 11 months ago to Star Trek in Ups & Downs From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.7 - Those Old Scientists

I have to admit, like Sean, this is probably my favorite episode of the New Trek Era. There's been so much to unravel.

Riker!

Agreed, it was so much fun!

Madison_rogue OP , 11 months ago to Star Trek in Paramount Plus just dropped its big Star Trek crossover episode early

Definitely a treat! You're welcome!
