I thought this was going to be his swan-song and that would have been perfect for me.
This. Exactly this. Same as that movie he made a few years ago. It's tough to see a character reduced from their powerful selves. But going out with style to help a young woman get to a new home would have worked great for Xavier. I mean PICARD!

I have to admit that I didn't read through every post on this thread so I apologize if this is a repeat. Was anyone else hoping Picard stayed dead?

This episode made me like a lot of the characters, in some cases, again. Seven of Nine continues to be one of the biggest bad asses in all of Star Trek. Loved her on Voyager and am loving her here. When she plugged in and started regenerating the cube I was thinking it was a new Borg collective. Which would be great fodder for season 2. Thankfully she unplugged. When she said "We are Borg" I got chills. And then they blew the hatches and she felt everyone of their deaths.
This was a pretty heavy episode for a lot of characters.

Sadly it looks like you are right. Hopefully someone picks it up.

That wig? Horrendous.
SECOND! I just want to yank it off. And its color changing capabilities are amazing.

Rhy Darby's best known role is Murray in Flight of the Conchords.
"What color do you call your hair, Murray?"
"Electric copper."I freakin' love Rhys Darby. And the Conchords. Jermaine made an appearance, maybe Rhys will too! Some kind of werewolf convention? The guy who played the head werewolf in the show played Dave in Conchords. And we've had Mel (Kristen Schaal). We just need Brett to get all the major players from F.O.T.C.

I think he just has to say that he watched Picard getting old, so he made himself look old, too, and then he can gloat about how it's not a real body for him so he doesn't have to deal with all the sad humiliations of actual aging.
This is what I was thinking. Q was so obsessed with humans and wanting to have the human experience that it wouldn't surprise me if he aged himself. Or appeared that way.

I disagree. While frelling is good for Farscape, and fraking in BSG, I think any swearing in Trek would just sounds weird. Same with boyfriend, and girlfriend when it popped up in Star Wars. Some words just sound wrong in certain situations.
We're actually on the same page with this one. I think it sounds out of place. My examples were more of a... if you HAD to have cursing in Star Trek.

Vasquez Rocks has served as various planets for every Trek series, except for Disco, which films in Canada. It's been Vulcan multiple times, most recently in the 2009 Star Trek.
This is the first time it's ever been what it actually is, the mountains of Southern California.
Don't forget in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Where they actually watch the episode of TOS before they get tossed off the rock to their deaths.
Also, I'm with whoever said swearing seems wrong in Star Trek. If anything the F word would be replaced by new cursing that far in the future. Like how farging was such a bad word in the 1800's.

Thank you ...I never thought to check the library for 'comics'
Mine has them all. I have read through most of the newer, canon Star Wars ones too. The two that take place immediately after A New Hope are fantastic. There's a Darth Vader one and a Luke's crew one.
They also had Y: The Last Man, and Saga. If you're a fan of Brian Vaughan.
On a more Firefly related topic I did not like the Shepherd Book one at all. I liked how they told the story but I was not a fan of the story itself. Not even a little. They should have gone with my idea. But Joss Whedon didn't check with me first. It was his story concept, written by his brother.

Anyone reading the new comics? They are not whedon-penned, but still have a nice feel for the 'verse. Set before the movie so everyone's all there.
I read the first one, Those Left Behind. But I noticed that I can get them all through my local public library, so I'm going to read through them all. Especially the Book one. Curious to see how that one is.

No, but I remember the much maligned 1999 film where Kenneth Branagh was part mechanical spider monster. Does that count? 😄
What the hell was in the water during the 90's?All I remember about that movie is Mr Fischoeder and Salma Hayek's butt.

She would have had to make it to the airlock and out of the hangar in 15 seconds before blackout and more gruesome side effects, or be rescued by another force.
Also without being sucked into space minus a helmet. But it's television and if you didn't see her dead body, then....

I bought season one on DVD. No special features either but the shows are in different order than they ran.
This makes sense. It was pretty obvious that Citizenship should have been earlier in the season, based on the Jenna arc.

Not necessarily. Maureen saw her empty space suit floating by the window. Assuming she was sucked out into space whatever she had on her or with her might have either gone out into space (and later collected) or got caught on something inside that room.
Maureen saw the metal helmet float by. Which could mean Smith removed the metal helmet, that was holding her down because of magnets, and escaped just before the robots turned off the magnet and got free. That's what I'm assuming happened. Even though I thought it was a great idea to kill her off somewhat heroically.

It helps that moving to Amazon allows more cursing too :).
I have been saying that all season! We finally get her on the same level with the book where every other word is an F bomb. She really using cursing as a disarming tool in the books.

I read book 4 this past summer, and I don't recall Amos losing it. There was one scene where Holden was joking that since Amos was temporarily blind, maybe he (Holden) could finally take him in a fight. But I remember Amos just being *shrug* about the loss of his eyesight.
I actually like how they handled it in the show. Amos losing his sight would cause him to lose control over his environment (which he very much needs), so I get him breaking a bit.
That's how I remembered it. I was getting worried that they are trying to humanize Amos too much in the show. But that's one thing I love about him, nothing makes him budge. Even when we get into the 5th book and the rocks start dropping and visits Baltimore and all hell breaks loose. Amos is the constant.
But, as an edit, I will say that my worries quickly evaporated when Amos capped his girlfriend. I just didn't like seeing him freak out and punch the air. It felt out of character, even for the show.

I haven't read book 4 in a while but does Amos lose it like that in the books? I don't remember that. They made up for it in the show when he capped the girlfriend but seeing scared Amos just didn't sit right with me. He (Wes Chatham) was great, but I thought Amos was always the steady hand. Even with the eyesight eating virus. Has anyone read the books more recently? Or remember if that's how it happened in the book?
And while I can't say it's better than the books, the show's pacing for this season was well done. A little rushed, maybe. But overall good. I thought bringing Marco in this early would bug me but it didn't. I wouldn't have revealed the rock dropping plan as a cliff hanger though. Maybe just a tease. But book 4's slow pace did get to me after a while. That book took the longest for me to finish.

Remember that time Laszlo turned a baby into a vampire? Who does that???

Annie from the book went into sudden rages against the writer because he was messing with Misery in her eyes, and was punishing him. Although not the best of rationales, she didn’t go psycho for no reason.
I think she went into a rage because she wants Joy back. Like Misery she wasn't getting what she wanted and went bonko.
My question is this. Will this season end to set up the movie Misery? I'm guessing Joy dies and Annie never leaves the area.

S02.E01: Resurrection / S02.E02: Ghosts
in What We Do In The Shadows
I can't wait. Part of me wishes it was being released all at once so I could binge watch it. But then it would be over in a matter of hours.
