State of the Game

Me - We have smoked salmon, prawns, lobster, and champagne for tonight.
Mum - I want mini scotch eggs.

I'm with your mum on this.

Some fine British tapas there.
 
I'm intrigued now. Less wet eyes and Filip?
Don't get your hopes up :)

Watching the aftershows this week I was surprised that they give each strand to a different writer - so Dan Novak wrote all the Pella strand, someone else all the Roci etc. So I now have even less idea how they managed to make Filip be so inconsistent / all over the place. He was pretty annoying in the books, but at least he had an arc. The tv version seems much more like they flip a coin to choose how he plays a scene.

The Belters are written like idiots though this season.

All we've got for new years is Covid, but no worries, everyone is vaxxed and so far no serious issues.

Mum - I want mini scotch eggs.
Well now, there's an interesting recipe...

In the process of learning about that, I also learned another difference between US/UK terminology: hamper

In the UK its, as Yogi would say, a pic-a-nick basket.

In the US, its the place we store our dirty laundry while its waiting for its turn in the washing machine.

And in other news, I see I'll have to forego the rest of SotG until I get a chance to watch episode 4...probably tomorrow...hopefully...
 
I believe that is intentional so that Drummer can come to the fore
Meh. Drummer is already to the fore and works best against strong opposition - with Ashford and now Lego Hair. The stuff with her fam is less interesting as she just bossed them around half the time. Would have loved to see her clash with Jared ...

The problem with Drummer is that she makes Marco look incredibly weak, it's hard to see him as a threat.

Once Marco is dead.
It makes sense, since she will become the head of the Transport Union.

Good to see Duarte as well, and Cortazar. His 'wut you all doin' look made me laugh since he used magnets to sort out his emutions.

I think Marcos 'ace' thats visible is that he always has 'a knife in the dark' and for a while one step ahead- the end of S5, and the items he's building are his leverage.

Drummer is just like a Helen Daniels Engine of Wrath- the more she gets beaten down the harder she hits back.

they're (free navy) all going to get eaten by the stargate ghosts and somehow the rocci is going to have to destroy the gates to save humanity in all the systems they are currently in... but they will forever be separate.
 
maybe the big bad in discovery is the same boogy man in the gates from expanse. and it's a kind of unspoken crossover event.

Discovery then sacrifices itself and its crew to destroy them, thus ending that show. booker's cat in his ship is the only thing that survives. and with the help of a hologram version of booker, they continue their adventure.
