Definitely a lot of black metal particularly where it’s merged with folk influences. Panopticon is a prime example

Gattaca is immense, still underrated imo.

Dark City and (the probably obvious) Arrival are my picks

There is one with John Boyega portraying the son of the Marshal so based maybe 10 years or so after the original. Not quite up there with the first film but still fun, basically “Pacific Rim: Team Kids”

To divide people, families, friends, colleagues, etc is exactly the point of what I consider to be a human sacrifice on the altar of the alt-right. Don’t worry, already got my tin foil hat ready but anything to take attention away from the real culprits of misery for most: the super rich, political “elite” and corporations

In universe: he was old, too far gone, maybe Bashir was still learning about Cardassian physiology

Out of universe: narrative effect

Loved Rockbox, installed it on my Sansa Clip+ back in the day and was able to scrobble through it

You might want something a bit bigger for dedicated local music OTG but I love my compact Shanling m0 for listening to music on runs. Relatively cheap, supports SD cards up to 512GB (no built in storage), BT as well as headphone jack

I agree with your comment that this episode was a tonal mess, yet for all that still enjoyed it. Life isn’t neatly packaged into times of only deadly seriousness, lighthearted nonsense and character growth, sometimes they all happen at the same time.

In that sense, each of them clearly had a distinct tone to me

You clearly saw the seeds of the lead up to TOS in the Farragut storyline, which was ultimately it’s purpose.

Off-topic but holy hell are spoilers so difficult to use on Lemmy

I donate to a charity that I know will help (they’ve helped family members in the past), Shelter, but I genuinely say to those who ask me around my town that I have no change

Obviously emotive reason for an outright erosion of personal liberty and freedom, shocked Pikachu is shocked

Soon as he picked up the artifact I knew it was bad vibes from there on out

Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy and Patterns in the Ivy II. The latter is so beautiful, could’ve easily been on BWP too imo

It’s a classic Star Trek storyline but it still checks out. Also love seeing La’an leading the episode

Edit: on further reflection, whilst I enjoyed the episode (all the call backs to TOS vibes were great), I think this shows the weakness of having shorter seasons, in that there’s less space (pun intended) for “frivolous” capers like this.

I do love that the staff, be they actors, wardrobe, production, etc don’t have an insane routine like the old days but maintain that at least 12-15 episodes per season is a nice compromise

I’m a fairly social, enthusiastic person but have a lot of dysphoria around both my appearance and just being human in general

Maybe more due to a certain someone (I messed up the spoiler markdown so just edited out the name) working through the understandable trauma incurred?

This is the way, you can pick up a Surface Pro 6 for under £250 here on eBay, i7 and 16GB

Techno is the obvious one for sure, like this excellent tune from one of the masters, Oscar Mulero: https://youtu.be/FAqfA6UEIVQ

My vote, I remember my dad playing me that and DsotM and I preferred the more psychedelic vibe for the former

Nonplussed and forbearance. Got the latter into a work email earlier, easily the highlight of my day
