Yay to season 4.

Agree. Codium goes brrrr, honestly.

I agree. Experience bij, Paramount!

It’s not a spoiler. It’s from season one.

One thing that suggests Broken Mirror’s mirror universe is the prime one is the uniforms borrow a lot of conventions from the IDE TNG Mirror comics, which sorts out a way the empire resurges.

I might add we saw a different Terran empire variant of the Cerritos in 2x08 “I, Excretus”, albeit a holodeck one.

My joking theory is they did the weird Rutherford implant removal to make his live action costume easier. 😉

It depends. The Cerritos is passingly mentioned in Prodigy, which suggests at least one version (probably ours) of the Cerritos is in the prime timeline.

I met someone who actually got into TNG because of Lower Decks.

I feel like I’ve been pulled off Ketracel white cold turkey. So many good episodes. My ultimate conclusion is the best episode is probably season 2 finale, with season 4 finale very close behind.

The Rutherford thing was weird - they could have written in a bit more foreshadowing. I’m gonna tell myself it’s a way to make Eugene Cordero’s makeup easier for a live action film. 😉

I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time an Ariolo has spoken on screen.

According to Memory Alpha, there’s an okudagram in Prodigy that says Prime Harry’s a Lieutenant by 2384.

There was so much joyful “Eeeeee”-ing during this episode.

I think your Adobe comment isn’t quite right. I have two family members who are professional photographers and use Photoshop; Photoshop is so important to their workflow they can’t give it up just to use Linux. They thus stick with Windows (though one’s work had them using Macs for a bit, so they see it as acceptable).

In contrast, although I sometimes used Photoshop in hobbies (a euphemism for memes), I never used any features so specific to Photoshop that I couldn’t just replace it with a combination of Inkscape and GIMP.

I think the truth is as much as I hate Adobe, Photoshop is the best at what it does right now compared to competitors; GIMP 3.0 has a dismal UI and a weaker feature set, and the latter is largely true of a lot of the web-based editors as well.

I love this site.

I’ve been liking my 1st gen Thinkpad E16 AMD. It took a bit of tuning, but the battery life’s decent.

I only switch to Apple Music in July - all my top albums are They Might Be Giants albums.

I don’t use the quick copy and paste on my Thinkpad because it’s so easy to accidentally trigger. I use it more often on my desktop, though.

…er than you’ve ever been, and now you’re even older, and now you’re even older…

This episode almost gives me Last Airbender “Tales of Ba Sing Se” vibes. It was especially nice to get to check in on a bunch of regular side characters for what might be the last time.
