How The Wheel of Time Adapts a Sprawling Epic Fantasy - Den of Geek

Following on of me finding utterly random stuff on the internet that catches my attention....

Since I do post a lot of Gowron eye memes in the funny thread...

Saw Kate and The Protege. Both have elements of that John Wick "killer on a revenge spree", but The Protege is definitely the better one of the two. Helped by the presence of Maggie Q, Michael Keaton, and Sam L Jackson. Doesn't have quite the same raw flow of action sequences, but develops nicely with some good character banter. Kate is much more action-throttle, but doesn't have quite the dialogue to sell it. That and the "twist" is pretty obvious from the "I want to retire" statement in the first 10 minutes.

Horror! You missed an amazingly 80's soundtrack. Also, it emotionally traumatised an entire generation of kids.

There's actually an episode post-Jellico, where she specifically raises it with Picard and talks about going through the Bridge Qualification course. I vaguely recall they did reference it a few times over several episodes as she was studying for it before she took it. They built a chunk of an episode around her test , Riker administering it and she had to learn that sometimes ordering a crewman to do something that would result in their death but save the crew was a possibility she might have to live with. That was also the final episode you ever see her wearing the maroon jumpsuit outfit. Pretty much from there on out she was in normal uniform like the rest of the crew.

Ah, 35 years old the other day. I believe I might have to have a burst of nostalgia viewing...
