Stargate is... its own thing, but if you like it then Stargate Atlantis is good.

Personally, I never felt like any of it was ever as good as even mediocre Trek, and it definitely has this military fetishism / combat focus that I didn't care for as much, but there are some pretty good and fun episodes as well and there's a ton of Trek/90s scifi alums you'll recognize (including Connor Trinneer playing a big bad that is definitely not Trip Tucker).

Rangers/Astros, Dodgers/Braves - which I consider the worst of all outcomes based on the teams that made it to the postseason.

It's hard for me to imagine Robin Williams' take on that character. I know he was a great actor and wouldn't necessarily be playing it as a comedian, but his energy is usually so manic compared to Frewer who did a great job being reserved and subtly manipulative.

I legitimately can't help tearing up when Picard tells this to Lily in First Contact. It's pavlovian at this point.

I dunno about ethos, but I do know Pine can also make false claims. I bought a Rock64 years back and they touted it as 4k60 video capable with an integrated GPU and that wasn't realistic at all. The software stack was still very immature on release. From their own wiki, years later, it still doesn't work and key parts still haven't been upstreamed.

High five, I also drove a manual '98 Civic that was my dad's. Put another 150k miles on it, drove it longer than he did and, up until it's transmission died, I never spent more than a couple hundred on repairs at a time. Ended up donating it a couple years ago, but damn good car indeed.

I love IV and it's definitely the Trek movie that cheers me up the most, but Undiscovered Country is the best TOS movie. Great cast, huge canon implications, great sendoff.

Honestly, I use Arch (btw) but after living on Fedora for a while, when I returned I started using podman over AUR for some stuff. If a package is going to pull a bunch of weird dependencies, or I want to easily migrate it later, it's just so much easier to keep it containerized.

I always felt bad for Beltran because Chakotay sucking wasn't really all on him, but after his recent attitude regarding the writer's strike I hope he never works again.

Who needs context when your toes curl up?
