WannaBe: Be (very) interesting if Trump manages to end Ukraine war too. And/or bring some calm between Iran/Israel. Teddy Rooselvelt won the Peace Prize for the Russo-Japanese War. And Obama won the prize for ending?? The Peace Prize have always the more political, like when Y. Arafat shared

  WannaBe: Very cute, this episode's title is "No Win Situation".

Now, if anyone remembers Kirk and the Kobiyashi Maru scenario, Kirk said: "I don't believe in no-win situation".

See how this episode will work out. (Of course the hero will live, they've got more episodes to air/show)

  WannaBe: Edit, the correct title is "No Win Scenario", not situation.

Stupid Romulan Ale and Klingon Blood Wine.

Don't mix your alcohols, kids.

  WannaBe: This part makes no sense (to me), they shut-off all non-essential energy, but holodeck is still on?

Must be nice to be an admiral (and pull 'rank'). Ugh...

  WannaBe: Dang, the writers expected that and it was explained... =((

  WannaBe: "I am guessing you are not referring to cannabis"...

So, weed is legal on starships now? πŸ€ͺ🀣

Good thing they have replicators that can make infinite amount of Doritos or whatever you are in the mood for.

  WannaBe: Love that chair spinning scene, nicely (homage) to Amanda's father's scene in the movie. I loved it.

  WannaBe: And we have an 'explanation' between the animosity between Capt. Shaw & Picard. (And Jack Crusher)

Hard for me to justify either side of the argument, but I like how Picard handled it.

  WannaBe: Methinkth, that Riker just got 'punked'... Ashton Kutcher would be (have been) proud.

Well.... I did see that coming.

  WannaBe: Oh goodness gracious, there's a red door, and I hope Jack doesn't want to "Paint it Black". (Apologies in advance).

The 'intensity and acting' in this episode was higher than the other previous ones, and I was not surprised that this one was also directed by J. Frakes.

As always (for season 3) the credits of writers/directors are at the end...

  WannaBe: Oh, as a final thought, we 'get' to see Troi, via 'Zoom'.

  WannaBe: Just found out a couple of things that I didn't know about season 3, directors did back-to-back episodes, and that's that. (So probably not a random pea-draw as before)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_...

Could explain why the 2 J. Frakes' directed episodes are so good. #3 and #4.

Back in the 'old days', season was 26 episodes, or 1/2 of 52 week year, and some episodes were, um, huh, gee, "Not-So-Good"

Now they are down to maybe 13 or even 10 episodes a season. And man, I'll tell ya, quality over quantity.

  WannaBe: Now, a completely different topic, SilverGate & Silicon Valley Bank insolvency, this may cause a major tremor, if not an earthquake in the banking industry.

Could this be bigger than the failures of Lehman Bro. and other banks in the real estate time that brought on the Great Recession? (Time will tell)

But many, many smarter people than I have predicted a recession is coming, and it is because the bond leverage and how the fed/J. Powell raising the interest rate.

On YouTube, Patrick Boyle and Graham Stephan both published vids today explaining what and why happened. (I learned a lot).

Pretty scary.

And. Here. We. Go.

  WannaBe: That's one heck of an intro and throws a monkey wrench...
Mar-17-23

  WannaBe: Oh, wait, think I know what the intro is about...

  WannaBe: Don't know why I found this to be so funny, maybe it's cussing's allowed, since it's not on 'public air-wave TV'.

"I am going to step outside so the 3 of you can your BS story straight" -- Capt. Liam Shaw

(They are in a conference room, and no Capt. L. Shaw is not stepping out to 'outer space').

Killed me, just killed me. He is indirectly-directly assisting Picard-Riker and 7 of 9.
