He may genuinely love the Picard show, I like a lot of bad stuff too, but his fawning over it in a those clips was a bit over the top. Obviously those clips were included to be made fun of and maybe they aren't as bad in the full context of the show but I'll probably never watch The Ready Room to find out.

The clips of him from the Trek talky show that were in the Plinkett review really make me question his opinion on this stuff Shut up, Wesley! or just swap out Quark for Wil in this clip

Why save on real estate alone when you can also save on salaries

That's literally what happened at my last job

I make my own nowadays. Just peel lemons and soak the peels in a strong neutral spirit for a while then drain and mix the liquid with water and sugar. That way I can control the sweetness and make sure there are no additives in my adult lemonade.

No, I'm supposed to be undead not dead dead

I really suck at ESO. My dark elf vampire sorcerer spends more time dead than anything else and during the rare moments when he is alive then he is facing the wrong direction

Everyone knows limoncello is the best lemon beverage

I don't think it's fair to anyone to call Jared a leader, especially him.

He has been pushing the drug for a while now and the only two responses Trump has to pretty much anything are to double down on it or to deny it. He's never wrong just alternatively correct. Apparently we have to accept this and it's okay because... reasons. No idea where he got the idea from in the first place but I'll give him credit for volunteering himself to be the guinea pig.

It's out now

Got really sick last night and am man-flued out right now. Pretty sure my son picked something up from daycare and is sharing it with us. MiL and my wife are slightly afraid it's that one virus making the rounds but unless you can get it twice then I'm fairly sure it's not. MiL has a slight fever too so we're watching that.

I didn't much care for The Hobbit book but I was that weird kid who liked Ivanhoe. It wasn't until the Lord of the Rings movies came out that I got interested in Tolkien

I loved Howard the Duck as a little kid. Kinda afraid to watch it now.

A physical distance block party. Was pretty awesome and the local band Wildermiss was really good.

Pike was a bright spot in Disco but I think they've said that it's going to be be some of the same Picard and STD writers so I can't say that I'm looking forward to it in any way. I'm probably just done with Trek now or at least until it changes hands again, Fek'lhr willing.

They don't want to get Serpicoed

Yeah, they don't generally accept produce for donations as it can be hard to store and keep fresh. That said, if you can contact them far enough in advance then they can probably get a solution in place. I used to volunteer at a food bank in a small farming town and mostly what they'd do with it is exactly what you did, find a church or shelter or something that can use it more efficiently/effectively.

Man, I got 0 out of 20 but I only played less than half of those

Fallout was fairly niche too and look how that turned out.

That's pretty much it, but speaking of that, it's what brought the Romulans into the Dominion War and saved the alpha quadrant. That's part of why it doesn't make a lot of sense that 14 (of over 150) planets threatened to leave the Federation if they continued to aid them. Not that it makes any sense that they needed any aid in the first place as an empire that rivals the Federation and the Klingons. Though if for some reason that is never explained they did need the Federation then why would the Romulan super secret bad girls club sabotage that? I mean, let's blow up our rescue armada and blame it on the "synths" as plan A for stopping artificial life research is pretty dumb. Sorry, I can pick nits on this show all day long because it's just that sloppy

The fillers are delicious. Mmm, wood pulp.

After some more reflection this is pretty much how I feel as well as I never could get on board with entire premise because it was too inconsistent with previous Trek. Starting in such a hole meant that followed needed to be really good to dig itself out but that never happened for me as I thought it actually kept getting worse for the most part. I felt that they could have fairly easily made the whole thing more consistent while telling basically the same story but instead they went with the second line I quoted

I think GD liked it as well but he also liked what they did to Luke in TLJ IIRC The only person I personally know who liked Picard is my dad and I'm considering taking a DNA test because of it.

When did you try it? It's been improved a bit over time I love the game so I'd suggest that you stick with it. We can even do an Obsidian kinship (LOTRO version of a guild or whatever) if enough people are interested
