So the 2027 iPhone should have USB-C and a removable battery as long as it’s bought in the EU. Luckily they’re all unlocked and it’s only 35 minutes on the train from England to France. Guess I’ll be getting my phones from France from 2027.

Strange New Worlds 2x05. Charades | Discussion Thread

Another very strong episode from SNW.

Ethan Peck absolutely giving his all and getting to see his range was a treat. I kind of wished he could stay human but we always knew he was going to be fixed.

Jess Bush’s Nurse Chapel is quite possibly my favourite character of the show, an opinion which was reinforced today.

All in all a very enjoyable and funny episode of a very strong second season which has only had one weak episode so far. That being Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

Which is your favorite trek and why?

I always change between Deep Space Nine and Voyager.

Deep Space Nine is Star Trek at its absolute best and includes some of the best episodes not of the franchise but on TV. I’d challenge anyone to watch Far Beyond the Stars and not be moved by Avery Brooks’ sensational performance. Star Trek fan or not.

DS9 was also the first Star Trek to lean into a more serialised story telling thanks to the popularity of Babylon 5 at the time.

DS9 also had a very strong first season which is uncommon among Star Trek series and it continued to go from strength to strength for the duration of its run.

But for how good DS9 is I will always have a special place reserved for Voyager because it was the first Trek series I watched from Pilot to Finale while it was on air.

When you watch shows after they’ve ended you miss the thrill and suspense of the cliffhangers. I’ll never forget seeing Basics for the first time as Voyager flew off to leave the crew stranded or Scorpion as the Borg Cube pulled Voyager into the distance. But who could forget Equinox’s ending, seeing Janeway from the view of the alien only to be me with the dreaded To Be Continued… That was a long few months waiting for part 2.

So as you can see I don’t have just one favourite series. Now favourites episodes is another story but that’s for another thread.
