The first 2-3 seasons are great. And that’s because it’s excellent characters in an unusual situation with just a splash of mystery/paranormal. The end of the show sucks, because they wrote it like they knew where it was leading, but they didn’t. The big reveals are very unsatisfying. Would have been better if they just ended it with no answers and let it develop organically instead of shoe-horning a “this is what it was all leading to” ending into it.

Just rewatch the last season. That’ll cure you.

Oh man Garak is one of the best characters in Trek. And that’s a competitive list.

Holy hell yeah you did. How would you go about doing that in a single expression? A bunch of back references to figure out the country? What if that’s not included? Oy.

I was thinking a nice golden throne. More appropriate for a god-emperor.

Which is a pitfall for anyone conversing in a language that isn’t their first, I’d say.

I like the ‘:has’ pun in the title too. Supporting that is a real game changer!

I remember in the mid-aughts my brother hacked his iPod — the wheel kind, this was pre-iPhone — to hold the entirety of the text of English Wikipedia at the time.

Excellent! So immersive!

Where’s the dedicated DRADIS monitor?

Softly. With their words.

Do you have any theories as to why this is the case? I haven’t gone anywhere near it, so I have no idea. I imagine it’s tied up with the way it processes things from a language-first perspective, which I gather is why it’s bad at math. I really don’t understand enough to wrap my head around why we can’t seem to combine LLM and traditional computational logic.

A boring dystopia.
