Don’t forget the conglomerate names:

Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard

Oh, you mean the part where they almost completely undid the Mando S2 finale?

Then Mando S3 undid the rest

They fly now!

Sometimes I describe Andor as a 10/10 show that’s a 9/10 because it’s Star Wars

And I love Star Wars

The Kessel run might fit the lore, but the lore was clearly added after the fact and it’s so much of a stretch that the black holes look like silhouettes that were made for me on the other side

I recently purchased a Pixel 7 and there was very little difference between the versions other than the camera

Double-yolked eggs would be fraternal twins

That sounds like an incredibly shallow reason to stop contributing

Chopping up babies has biblical precedent

Thanks for the heads up on the pixel 7, I’m planning on buying one in the next few months

Because they’re having less babies than is needed to maintain or grow their population

2.1 babies/woman is about what’s needed to maintain a population, China was at 1.09 last year

Agreed about the survivors part, it seems like a major oversight that I hope they can explain in a satisfying way.

As for the Gorn on the ship, I presumed it was just a crewman trying to gather intelligence on the Federation by picking through the remains of the saucer section

According to the documentary Down Periscope, a nuclear sub is no match for a diesel sub with a misfit crew.

The US Navy wouldn’t last a week

Capitalism: imminently about to collapse under its own weight for the last 150 years

Sort of feels like the attack on the colony was unplanned, and that the later Gorn ship was playing damage control while trying to figure out what happened.

That’s consistent with what they theorized regarding the solar flares causing the first ship to attack the colony.

That’s the best explanation I’ve heard, and I’m going to stick with it until a better one comes along

Edward Teller, one of the lead designers for the hydrogen bomb, made a hobby of designing doomsday nukes that would have destroyed the biosphere

We’ve got the same problem in the US, so I feel you

If you’re going to be visiting a potential birthplace for Archer, I’d have to say he grew up in Watkins Glen, if only because the state park there is beautiful
