What was Mikey Thinking?

  Fame Patrol notes   Nice needle drop. So everybody that we care about survived the Immortus thing? I was worried about Deric for a second Jane is PISSED Casey holding Wally and Torminex.   No love for Doctor Janus??   They don’t even show us her body. Laura:   A Pile of dead corpses in a giant crate is fairly sobering They’re all trying to figure out what the hell is going on with IsobelImmortus Cliff hadn’t even registered that Dorothy had shown up. Casey is doing a good job of showing the confusion that a fictional character would feel being pulled into reality *** We’ll figure this out together.   I promise. Bye Deric.   We’ll miss you.   Good on you for going to check on your family though. I hope that this isn’t the last we see of Deric. So Deric’s telling him to find a new way to be Cyborg? No way Deric got an Uber there that fast. Rita is barely pretending that her reasons for killing Isobel aren’t personal...

  Orqwith Patrol notes Is Rita dreaming?   Oh no, we left off here *** OK, I know you’re having some sort of disassociative episode right now, but could you please re-associate? They have death squads? Rita:   Can’t you move any faster? Rouge:   I’m a suitcase! I’d forgotten that Rita and Rouge were in the ant farm I love that Deric is being so task oriented.   And Vic is so sxaseperated Deric:   Oh Yeah!   Rock beats scissors, motherfuckers! OK, so we don’t know for sure that Rita squished Wally Rouge isn’t wrong about the lack of residual goo Was Wally made of ink? Rogue:   ( reading note)   Gone to Orqwith… for J’s longevity and.. rescue Larry.. if there’s time. Deric’s solution with drawing the rock is ingenious How exactly are they planning to rescue Jane’s longevity? They’re doing a good job of recapping Cliff:   How are we going to get passed the beauty school dropouts.   Also, how do they dres...

  Notes on Ouroboros Big statue of John Majors.   Awkward Loki running, chased by Mobius We’re supposed to think we’re in a different time stream, right? Very Attack of the Clones Why’s Casey on Janitorial duty? Casey’s listening to a relaxation tape! (Sound of car crashing to the ground) Loki:   I’m sure she’s fine. Making the big crack on the floor was a very clever way to illustrate the time jump What does ‘backwards in time’ even mean in a place outside time? And now Casey knows who he is, but doesn’t remember the earlier meeting? So did the branches start growing simultaneously at all times in the TVA? Miss Minutes! X-5? Ah, we’re back to Mobius’ jetski desires.   What does this scene even accomplish?   Just to meet X5? X-5:   Mobius.   Mobius!   I don’t care? Mobius:   So why’d you ask? Who are these judges now?   They mention that Mobius’ old boss is gone, so this must be the replacement fig...

  Extreme Measures notes   Bashir gets the opening log.   Odo is still super sick with the changeling sickness.   Good to establish the stakes right away Odo wants to know exactly how much time he has left. Odo is being all noble in character and wanting Kiri to go fight the rebellion without him Nice that he admits that he just doesn’t want her to watch him die.   And a little selfless of him.   Also, nice callback to Barreil Odo:   I don’t want the last thing I see to be pain in your eyes. This is skirting melodrama in a sappy way, but they get away with it The Breen weapon is still a thing going on in the background Way to play subtle, Julian. Genocide is an extreme measure Miles has decided to come clean with their plan to dupe section 31 to come to them and that the federation created the disease They’re filling the audience in on the whole lure section 31 plot already set up and bringing everybody up to speed so that the...

  Field of Fire notes Opening with a party in honor of a character we’ve never met before.   You can count his expected life span in minutes Bashir:   He’s very particular about anybody seeing him in his coonskin cap. It totally seems like Bashir and O’Brien are having sex in the holosuite Drunk Starfleet officers are rare It feels like they toyed with having Ezri accused of the murder, being the last person to see him Ilario Ilario:   You know Lieutenant, you’re very beautiful. Ezri:   And you are very drunk. ‘Hot’ always seems like an imprecise request for a beverage Yup.   Predictably, he’s now dead Oh yeah,   Projectile weapons aren’t a thing anymore Tritanium Convenient that Sisko had heard of the TR116 rifle and remembered it off the top of his head This is about 3D printed guns It’s weird that they don’t even handwave to Ezri being accused Fun that they had to find a way for Odo to know about powder burns just so ...

  Picard Surrender notes   Flame in space is an interesting image Is that the transporter ceiling?   No, it’s the bridge She can block out data, then coms.   Then doors Her conducting the sounds of death is so creepy There is clearly something more up with Jack.   He can read minds, project his mind, So everybody is really dead Someone being murdered while you’re in their mind would be very odd She’s pulling a surrender Dorothy It’s Star Trek 3 Klingon murder setup I am enjoying the Veeger noise Hey, Troi finally! ****   The face of a man who can still take a punch.   Almost. Riker and Troi really are kind of adorable together Riker isn’t remotely bothered by the thought of Deanna sleeping with a changeling So Riker did give up the compromise code in the hopes that Picard could handle it.   He can not Shaw is mad at Seven for not giving him up. And he uses phrases like ‘hunky dory’ ‘My name is Seven of Nine.’ ...

  Picard Imposters notes Old school bridge deck noise! Beautiful starscape It’s a dream, so everyone on the bridge is technically an imposter.   Is the implication that Jack is an imposter in some way? I feel like I should recognize all the alien races Nice jump cut editing to communicate that this is a dream ‘I know what you really are’… interesting.   Jack himself is a threat somehow. Nice effect with the red vines on the face CC says it’s Beverly saying Jack come home It’s the ‘being repaired after the big battle episode’ episode Nice exposition about Changelings not being able to mimic internal organs Love the way Shaw dubs seven when reinstating her Shaw:   Oh, and as a courtesy, because of the harrowing ordeal that we all survived together, I’m gonna step outside so the three of you can get your bullshit story straight. We’re definitely in ‘quiet aftermath mode Nice that Beverly apologized for bringing him into it Does Picard have ...
