Star Trek: Discovery - The Sound of Thunder

God what a dumb episode. Saru's backstory is the worst. Also, everyone makes really dumb decisions in this episode - and it turns out that the Bau'ls have warp travel so the prime directive doesn't even apply and the federation was still just letting slavery and genocide go on unopposed.

Star Trek: Discovery - Saints of Imperfection

This was an extremely irritating episode. You know that thing where there's some kind of time limit, like a ticking bomb or something, and the characters just stand around chatting instead of getting the fuck out of there as quickly as possible? Yeah, that's, like, half this episode. And the other half is stupid Section 31 bullshit.

Star Trek: Discovery - An Obol for Charon

You know what? Last week might have just been them shaking off the last of season one. This week we're back to some definite Star Trek. Not what I'd call great Star Trek, but it definitely felt pretty damn Star Treky. They're starting to bring the bridge crew into the show more, the main story of the episode was centred on a one-time weird thing they encountered in space, and they had people working together and trying to avoid resorting to violence.

Star Trek: Discovery - Point of Light

This episode just had everything going on. It was a real mess. The Klingons are back with their dumb Klingon bullshit. As I predicted, Tilly tried to keep her hallucinations secret. And also remember spock and the red angels? That stuff's still happening. Evil Georgiou is also back as part of stupid Section 31, which is evidently going to be very important this season. So with all these different things happening at the same time, there wasn't much actual plot. More just setting a bunch of stuff up to presumably pay off later.

Why I Love Vivaldi

The web browser, that is. Well, one of the reasons. I actually like a lot of things about it and dislike some others but overall it's the best option available. I might write more about it some other time but I just felt like writing about this particular feature today. What feature? The options you get when you right-click on a hyperlink.
