Completely hooked on: Baldur’s Gate 3.

Completely hooked on in the past tense and stopped playing: Overwatch.

Blood is a good replacement for eggs in recipe. Use like 4 tablespoons per egg you’d have used in your recipe.

Never ask a Hobbit what they got in their pocketses. Bad time will be had by all.

I’ve been catching myself calling it the activation rune instead of the power button.

GU̇U̇D MORNVNG?

This episode seems full of subtle allusions or homages, albeit possibly accidental, considering how much that ice field scene looked so much like Titan A.E.

The Ice Debris field have me Titan AE vibes, especially with making a new planet at the end.

I’m not sure what to think of this episode. The interweaving of the plotline with TNG’s Lower Decks eponymous episode feels off and some of the plot beats generally too contrived but not so much that I can point to something and say “this is bad.”

I might need to simmer on it for a bit, or see how the second part goes.

This was a nice wholesome episode.

They want the Entergalactic audience.

A bit of a weird episode in that the protagonists didn’t solve much, the two problems just sort of fizzled out for their own reasons.

One can say the same for plenty of good stories like Indiana Jones.

Boimler and Tendi are rarely paired up for their A/B-plots, as well as Rutherford and Mariner. I was kind of disappointed much wasn’t done with that, they were just kind of … there and it was Boimler and Rutherford’s story chiefly. Not much character interaction between the duo. That made it a bit funnier when Rutherford was like “Tendi is right” and Mariner was taking a bit of umbrage to that.

I like it when the Ferengi stay on brand.

Yeah, I wouldn’t have noticed the pun without reading the subtitles.

Mariner really shouldn’t be pulling out those knives, especially the ones with serrated hooks on the back. That just seems like a recipe for severe bleeding.

I thought it was fine. The ending of Rutherford’s B-plot felt a little cheap.

Plus with Luvik around, I’m wondering what happened with Jet and if there’s going to be a gang of bitter lower deckers who don’t quite like the main four.

Close enough. Thanks.

Between the OST’s for Mechanicus and Ixion Guillaume David does not miss.

I don’t know why this answer should have been almost obvious to me in retrospect. The shoe fits, even though the Pakleds are more about cunning and language expression.

Thanks for the answers. I’m going to see if I can check some of those episodes out.
