Kale if we can count his cut dialog about the history of the nomadic merchants.
Otherwise Diallos. He lost his maiden, he joined the wrong gang, he lost his brother (to that same gang!), and finally redeems himself to save Jarburg. One of the few quests with closure. Insert “Fire Spur Me” gesture 💪
Ya you’re right that one is much tricker.
If you take the direct route via Dectus lift you will miss her unless you take that particular route to Volcano Manor.
If you climb the precipice, she’s in line of sight when you approach the grace… but still easily missable if you’re panic feeing to the grace from the Lansseax ambush.
Tangentially, I once thought Goldmask’s hat was a pvp reward because I only ever saw invaders wear it. I never saw him the first time I played haha.
If you take the warp gate to Caelid, yet are too dumb to realize that Gurranq is INSIDE the building (I didn’t notice the door right behind me) and not the giant Gargoyle out front…
Well in that case you will walk back to Limgrave and stumble upon Millicent about half way there. Easy peasy lol
Gimme those guest stars from ntsf:SD:SUV:: 🤞
DAX: I hope you’re not holding back because I’m a woman. If it makes things any easier, think of me as a man. I’ve been one several times.
think of me as a man. I’ve been one several times.
We could do this all day, I just reached for this example because of my recent run Gowron of episodes 🖖
Oh, this definitely includes Renegades 👌
Yes, we see TPol reading the new rediscovered teachings of Surak, demonstrating the spread in new ideas
We also see the Vulcan ambassador standup for being a “deviant” and ultimately prevail, demonstrating a shift in attitudes.
The Vulcan arc was one of the most strangely satisfying because:
- It begins strong in the first 5 episodes or so (until Trip gives Tpol pecan pie)
- Goes into the back burner for 2.5 seasons, except for random jabs at the Vulcan High Command
- Goes into overdrive in S4 and shows us how these Vulcans become the ones we’ve come to know.
If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:
Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat
They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.
But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.
p.s. Buckle up 🖖
Enterprise all the way.
It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.
Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.
Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.
Highlights include:
- Captain Archer feuding with Duras
- Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
- Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
- Grapplers!
Low points include:
- Decontamination
- Archer/Tpol tension
- Cogenitor episode
- The finale

Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.
Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌
Quick someone animate it
for the masses,for the children, for me!
We know Riker plays for keeps; Quark owes him platinum and tried to foist gift cards on him for payment.
We know the TNG poker games would also raise the stakes; Crusher challenges Riker, LaForge, and Worf to bet shaving their beards that one time.
We know that gambling lingo is still commonplace, even though Mariner doesnt know other slang from our era (eg what a pinup poster is)
I want to say that gambling never left and it makes me realize we’re sorely missing a proper heist episode. With Quark 👌
Edit: I am mistaken, I forgot about Moogie
If Kirk is going to come back, it has to mean something. It has to be the show. But I was so impressed by this writer, so I said let’s talk after I’m done in Vancouver.
He had me in the first half, but thankfully this doesn’t sound like another vanity project ala Picard S1/S2 🤞
I came here for the post about fog, but stayed for bikepower rabbit hole 👌
This looks like one you can make from an old washer and an old bike: https://permies.com/t/90723/Pedal-powered-washing-machine
Finally! Someone with the courage to adapt the NES classic The Goonies II to the big screen. What a time to be alive!
Just looking down every time and thinking “can I go there?” felt great.
Start going down a random well in Leyndell, follow down into Subterranean Shunning Grounds, past the hidden wall in the Cathedral of the Forsaken, past the hidden wall in the Frenzied Flame Proscription, down into Deeproot Depths and the Nameless Eternal City, ride the stone coffin to Ansel River Main and finally get a glimpse the Lake of Rot which restarts the cycle 👌
I wish the best for those legally compelled by their HOA to maintain a colony of unwanted plants.
Maybe one day sanity will return to their regime and they’ll be able to grow tomatoes and other peasantries like the rest of us.
As an Archer fan… bwahaha. He knew it was wrong, there’s too much dialog around suspending moral codes and the like.
Eg one of my fave episodes Harbinger:
