WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: #8 vs #9 are suppose to be close games, but SLU just blew out UGA... Don't know how SLU qualifies as "Atlantic-10" conference, but along with VCU are definitely putting out notices to the tournament.

WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: You made a comment on Skyline chili on another forum, about a month ago. Today I came across this YT video: https://iq-dist-2.com/s/page/2y888-... My convenient/easy go to is Hormel (BEANLESS!!), I do Chili Mac or use them for Chili Omelets

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

  WannaBe: Hum-dinger of an ending to episode 9, I can kinda-sorta-guessa what Season 2 final episode will be. (Knowing that other Next Generation Crew are coming back for Season 3)

Kinda, sorta, Star Trek First Contact movie, but with more personal in-depth and more goodies, and I am guessing episode 10 will end with one h*** of a f***ing cliff hanger.

Just a wild guess, but I'll find out next week.

  WannaBe: Star Trek Picard Season 2, Episode 10 (Season finale, there will be season 3 and will be the last, so they say, so far)

The need of many vs the need of one makes a return in this episode.

Wesley Crusher makes a return. And that's all I will say about that. Will not give anything away. Half way through this episode... So most likely I will have more to comment on later.

  WannaBe: Q: "My time is almost up, I have one last surprise in store for you."

Wait, Qs know when they will die?

  WannaBe: Picard Season 2, over-all A++++ (Did you really think I'd give it anything else?? C'mon...)

Great writing, lots of deep-thinking dialogs, a few throw-backs (bus in LA vs SF) The one that hits me-self the most is living in the past and how Q explains it.

Can't wait for Season 3 (which alas, will be the last, but all the gang-members will be back, Worf, Riker, Troi, Data, Jordi, Crusher)

But with the ending of Season 2, with Wesley, I thiiiiiiiink the writers (yeah, you, Michael Chabon) will have a couple of aces up their sleeves to surprise us.

And I'm going ALL IN, even if I am just holding 6 clubs and 3 of diamonds. I'm gonna hit that Full House. Babyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Now, on to Star Trek Strange New World, with Capt. Pike! (Not in that blinky-blinky wheel chair and that lovely, beautiful Rebecca Ramajian, Ramejaian. Oh hell. She plays the new Number One on the show and Ethan Peck as Spock. Did I mention that he is the grandson of Gregory Peck? Probably too many times already...)

  WannaBe: LOVE the intro!!! LOL. Wow-sies. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!

Oh wait, that is just the first 6-seconds.

  WannaBe: That! is what I call a First Contact.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Alright, so the real "intro" comes in, also done by Jeff Russo, who did Star Trek Picard, and lines are identical (virtually?) to The Next Generation, where "No Men" is replaced by "No One"

  WannaBe: There's that term again "Galivanting across the galaxy"!!! Hilarious. It was used in Picard Season 2, final episode.

And of course, spoken by Q. I also believe, if I remember right, it was spoken in the movie Star Trek Generations. But I think this may be wrong.

  WannaBe: And they bring up the future death of Capt. Pike and what happened in Discovery Season 2. Nice!!
May-06-22
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Oh, this is gonna be good, (at least we are promised season 1, but man I would want more).

A captain, who knows he got 10 more years before he become crippled and "death" in a blinky-blinky wheelchair and is already doubting his command abilities.

Spock is there to re-assure him. Oh, and we are barely just 20 minutes into the 54 minutes long show. Episode one of a brand new series.

Anson Mount is doing great job as Pike.

  WannaBe: Strange New World, Season 1, Episode 1:

Holy Crap, I loved it, the humour, the in-side jokes, the acting and the writing... Wow.

(Paramount and CBS+ promised to pay me to post this...) Yeah, right.
