| | WannaBe: Personal log/opinion, maybe it's just me, but Star Trek Discovery just keep getting better and better, with the ethical side of the coin (much like the original) and the over-all script and story (line). Can't wait for Season Two of Star Trek Picard. Also Matrix 4. |

| | WannaBe: Oh yeah, just noticed also, the computer voice now have a name and it's got a hint of British accent, maybe Welsh, or Irish, could be Aussie, or New Zealand or South African or Nigerian or Kenya or Egyptian or Jamaican or any of the previous British holdings. It's definitely not American, Boston, New York, Alabama, North Carolina, California, Dakotas, Minnesota, or Texan. Definitely not Texan... Definitely, Definitely not Texan (to quote Rain Man) |

| | WannaBe: Star Trek Discovery (STD) season 4 episode 7 is something else (in a good way). Wow, a whole combination of old scripts presented in a modern day world. AI (Zora?) is not aware of herself and try to protect the crew. The idea of need of many outweights the need of the few. This episode have literally no action scenes what so ever, no fighting (hand to hand) or space ships firing at each other, but the tension and the messages were delivered pretty loud and clear. A++ |

| Jan-25-22 | | suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Thank you for posting the game! I did consider 21...Ne4, actually, trying to get in there and cause trouble, but I couldn't find any continuation to make it worthwhile. What did you see? |
|
Jan-25-22
| | WannaBe: <suenteus po 147> 21...Ne4 22. Qd3 [or Qd4] ...exd5 Well, now lookin' at it some more, would probably not be the best move for black. |
