NRA4EVR, one of the hundreds of radical right wing messages in every episode

Since other people already got the joke I’ll grab the point for the ‘A’ plot: this one is the one where Lisa wants to go to the Isis exhibit. Marge has to take Bart to the hospital so Lisa wants to take a bus by herself.

And that one looks like our town founder, Jebidiah Springfield. Without the head of course.

Homer the Smithers when Smithers is looking up keywords to find his replacement (monstrously ugly)?

I actually think the episode itself is quite good. The framing of the episode, the part where the dinos left earth and ended up in the delta quadrant, is just awful and follows a long terrible tradition of Trek not even having a cursory understanding of evolution. But the storytelling is good. Learning about both the Voth and Voyager from the perspective of Voth scientists is good. Having them be much more advanced than Voyager and then actually showing that is a nice change of pace. The moralizing part is good too: respecting the journey for scientific truth even is important, though the message is a little muddled because the science of the episode is so hilariously wrong. A Chakotay heavy plot without any sky spirits is nice. The Voth were relatively good looking aliens for the time.

I think if it were rewritten just a little bit it’d be a top 10 Voyager episode.

I quite like StarSector too. It clearly owes a lot to the Escape Velocity series which I love.

StarSector's focus on colony management is super fun though. The recent patch was also quite good and seemed to add more story elements which I appreciate. I appreciate the unique looking ships even though some of them end up looking very ugly.

I love working with the AIs. Smuggling them, integrating them into colonies, doing other spoilery things with them. I wish there were deeper mechanics there and more story too, but that could still happen.

I go back to Super Metroid about once a year. I just get a yearning to hear the moody music and see the alien scenery.

Fairly sure that part is from Schisms where Riker and other crew members are being abducted while they sleep by aliens. At this point he knows he’s going to be abducted and has taken some stimulants to stay awake so he decided to get abducted in his uniform rather than his sleeping clothes.
