Hmm, I may have to watch just so I can react to some of that
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

I'm nodding along with your points Atropa. Quite vigorously with the last one.
I'd been wondering where David S. Goyer's influence on the narrative was, but that mystery can be considered solved.

Is that a thing with him?

He's the one responsible for Leonardo having an historically inaccurate romance with Lucrezia Donati in Da Vinci's Demons. Can't have a leading man who's not involved in a relationship with the female lead, after all, or even worse who might actually be guilty of the sodomy charges (plural) that were made against him!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've only watched the first half of the season so far and...it was just so bad I don't want to finish it. DH has the screeners so I guess we will at some point, but I don't like anything about any of it. (With the tiniest of exceptions for Death and Desire, whose performers are doing the best they can with what they've been given to work with.)
The less said about this version of Delirium the better. NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Well, that is probably good news for my general media consumption but sad

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The most recent Strange New Worlds is the best bit of Star Trek I've seen in a long long time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yeah, up to now I thought this season has been pretty weak, but this last one is one of the all-time great Trek episodes.

Exactly!
I sat there weeping and am looking forward to the "Why is Star Trek Woke?" rants because I could really use a good laugh right now. I know it was written and shot before Paramount went to the dark side, but that wasn't really a surprise and its nice to see them go out swinging. It'll be hard to give them up come May when Colbert is done. Maybe they'll somehow get bought. Maybe they'll get nuked too. This, episode, iswhatStarTrekisfor.
