It hurt, but also good God, wasn't it haunting, indeed? And isn't SirPatStew amazing?

I knew Picard was assimilated at some point (... I think I've seen movies that come later in the TNG sequence?), so I figured this might be when it happened. As soon as he was abducted I was like welp here we go. That reveal at the end was still incredibly creepy, though. Not least because I love Picard a lot and seeing him like that hurt.

Picard/Guinan brOTP and a half. Oh, and WorfxPrune juice is canon ♥️ Wed, 19 Jun 2019 12:34:46 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2015/08/mark-watches-the-next-generation-s03e15-yesterdays-enterprise/#IDComment1075755925 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2014/12/mark-watches-star-trek-s03e02-the-enterprise-incident/#IDComment1074652255 👀 I was planning to watch TAS anyway, but you just made it even more of a must-watch. (Yes, I know I'm actual years late 😹 Also, this was a damn good episode, not just in the context of Trek, but in the context of being a tense, clever, affecting, funny television episode. I was very impressed indeed.

(Yes, I know I'm really late commenting, but I just had to say YES.) He's remarkably subtle when the script calls for it, and generally speaking his acting suits whatever the script calls for. Much less hammy than I remembered.

It always seems like someone has previously meddled in a given society, which also seems like it would be a considerably better argument in favour of breaking the whole "not meddling" thing. It would be more interesting to look into who and what had previously meddled in these societies to make them stagnate. Or hell, actually make the malevolent force more than a random computer that was there because they need a plot device for the episode. (I've lost track, but I feel like there may even be another episode with the same plot??) I keep expecting someone to say "Wait! Someone has already meddled with this society in order to come up with this system that is causing such stagnation!" but instead we just get "humanoid races are not meant to stagnate, let's change everything so they will be forced to progress." HOW ARE SO MANY PLANETS CONTROLLED BY MACHINES, ENQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW? WHY IS NO ONE ASKING THIS QUESTION?

He is a nerd who doesn't even like being outdoors and he is black facing a bunch of guys who are most probably white supremacists and HE IS THE ONE WHO INSISTS THEY GO BACK and look I just love Hardison so much okay <3 he was my favourite from *minutes* into the first episode, but he also keeps behaving in ways that make me go "yes, you were right, he is undoubtedly the best" <3 Sun, 12 May 2019 12:47:13 +0000 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2015/03/mark-watches-leverage-s03e07-the-gone-fishin-job/#IDComment1073788152 http://markwatches.net/reviews/2015/02/mark-watches-leverage-s02e11-the-bottle-job/#IDComment1073559593 My favourite thing about this show FULL STOP is: everything Alec Hardison says and does, and how he says and does it.

He knows on the deepest possible level that that's the truth, because it's himself he's talking to. I am constantly being reminded why this is one of my favourite Pratchett books (hell, one of my favourite books, full stop) ever.
