  • Not to sound doom gloomy here, but my reasons for ditching Blizzard games were absolutely not the launcher. I don’t think I’ll be going back to Overwatch or anything else in their portfolio because of my issues with game development/marketing (PvE in OW2 promises vs. reality, Warcraft 3 Reforged debacle, etc.).

    That said, for anyone who still is up on Blizzard properties, having platform choice is always nice. I still play a ton of Apex Legends and love that it’s available via Steam rather than just EA’s launcher, for example.

    My first time seeing this; delightful term hahah

    I also can’t agree enough with your observation about the human side as a lens through which to understand Spock and how he relates to those around him. Double points for noting the lack of quippiness in the vein of “Are we sure we want to fix him?” I hate that I need to praise that kind of restraint in TV / movie writing these days but, well, here we are.

    As for my original contribution here:

    I realllly liked the fact that while I’m sure I’m not alone in shipping TF out of Spock and Chapel, I feel like this episode went to decently robust character exploration such that the ending bit felt a lot less tacked on, or a writer’s wink “for the shippers”. A lot of that IMO rests on Spock’s monologue at the end of the dinner. For just another layer of appreciation of that character moment.
