@SCShipyards Some choices have driven me a bit crazy but yes over all it’s at worst not bad. The musical episode was sorta crappy. The puppet episode coming in is scary to me also.

The frustrating thing is that SNW had outstanding character development, and multiple instances of it.
So someone on NuTrek's team knows how the equation works. They're just not allowed to implement it nearly as often as it should be.

@SCShipyards At its core I’d argue that Star Trek is a workplace show. Everyone has their specific job they’re best at and that is where STD failed only one person was good at anything. Snw and lower decks t least got that part mostly right.

Star Trek was, at its core, competence porn: skilled people doing their jobs well & improving each other and themselves in the process.
Now it's "identity" porn: every character is most interested in showcasing how special they are, but for hardly any actual, earned reasons.

@SCShipyards I also enjoyed the idea that we as a people could be better than we are now. This is exemplified by the courtesy, respect, professionalism, and kindness of the Star Trek crews.

@McCoolBCB Can’t critique unless you’re actively involved in doing something is always a bad take.

@JoshNorris Makes sense he’s a good reciever with a ton of speed and some evasion.

feel like in every mock draft video I say that Shanahan is going to love Concepcion
Ryan Fowler@_RyanFowler_
Source: The San Francisco 49ers will host Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion for a 30 visit. Potential option at 27 for GM John Lynch.

@davehelman_ The difference between a 3rd and a 4th even is huge currently.
English
lol ok I just had the opposite of the D.J. Moore reaction
Rashan Gary for a 3 is nuts, but Rashan Gary for a **Day 3** is totally fine
English
@Marcus_Mosher Day 3 is good. 3rd isn’t. Frankly isn’t the draft really about 90 picks long now?
English
This says late-round pick.... so let's hope it's not the third that was reported.....
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Trade: the Green Bay Packers are finalizing a deal that would send DT Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a late-round 2027 draft pick, per ESPN sources.
English
@Marcus_Mosher Considering he’s been sliding seems like not a terrible decision.
English
My guess is that the #Cowboys didn't want to pay him $40M for three seasons.
maX🎰@MaxEmmit
@Marcus_Mosher We couldn’t throw them a 6th?
English
@WhatGoingDowney It’s looking like took a pay cut for a bit of guarantee before he got cut
English
The lack of REAL details on this Terence Steele contract adjustment very much makes me wonder if he just took a pay cut
English
@SCShipyards Yup. And even sisko started off less then stellar but grew into it.
English
@derinyar Oh, yeah, sorry. Pike's not bad, but he's way too chummy. Aside from that... yeah, the last legitimately good one was Sisko.
English
Legitimately the best character of the entirety of SNW, and only appeared in the first season (as a regular).
It's kind of weird how Star Trek can keep nailing "super-tech engineer who can pull miracles out of his nethers", but struggles with "halfway-decent captain".

Lieutenant Hemmer Lieutenant Hemmer was a male Aenar Starfleet officer who lived during the mid-23rd century. Species: Aenar Affiliation: Federation Starfleet Rank: Lieutenant Occupation: Chief engineer, USS Enterprise Status: Deceased (2259) Died: 2259, Valeo Beta V #StarTrek
English
@SCShipyards I agree on that just saying they started with three very good captains and then forgot how.
English
@derinyar I mean, Scotty, LaForge, O'Brien, Hemmer, Pelia, all outstanding engineers and characters.
STD can't even decide who the CO is on a per-episode basis.
English
@Marcus_Mosher Hard to pay a lot of picks and cash on a player with one great year
English
Here is my guess: Only 4-6 teams would be willing to pay Pickens $30M+ a year.
And I highly doubt that any of those 6 would be willing to pay $30M AND give up a high pick.
fishsports ✭@fishsports
I think behind the scenes somebody’s doing some Pickens propaganda work. How’s it possible a 24-yo All-Pro is BOTH ‘worth $30M per year’ AND only ‘worth a 2nd/3rd-pick in trade’?
English
@TotalProSports Well the stats are the stats? Who won the superbowl this year..
English
@ScottKacsmar Now just with like 70% less defication. But it’s a fun show which fantasy has been sorta short on for a while.
English
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms shows a small-scale story in the GOT universe can work. Especially when the episodes are only 30-35 minutes. Don't need a million subplots. Just a lead, his sidekick, an adversary, a love interest.
English
6.5CM seems a good starting point. Work up from there if it's proving ineffective.
And then bacon.
Doesn't seem complicated, given what humies have been doing since humies humied.

what am i supposed to do about this
English
@JoeyIckes But Dak means they can’t spend money on anyone else! Trust me bro! Trust me!
I still wonder if the front office is conservative or just stupid.
English
@SCShipyards No one deserved the acolyte or starfleet academy to be subjected on the franchise they like.
English
Revisionist history is wild.
Like, "w/ lightsaber choreography that rivaled the prequels" is insanity. They never tried to actually hit each other, as their b-t-s training videos adequately documented, unlike the prequels that burned through dummy sabers.
Rent must be due.
