She sprained her ankle earlier that day so she had disadvantage on dexterity checks.

I'm actually playing DnD right now. Too perfect on timing.

Dude, stop looking at your phone!

We have a lot of RP where characters are RPing with their gods or ghosts and stuff so I dont have to pay as close attention. I still do because I'm interested but I don't have to take the same level of notes.

The rape gangs were no problem though

Excuse me?

Edit: Derp. I didn't see the context of the message and I was so confused.

I recently started TNG and saw that episode for the first time a week or two ago. When she died, I literally did not believe it right up until the end of the episode because of how anti-climactic her death was. I was absolutely sure it was going to be a fake-out.

When the episode ended, I had to look up why she was written out because I was so utterly perplexed.

Well don't leave us hanging!

...and?

... And it turned out Tasha really died, though the article did mention the actress returning on a few occasions. It sounded like the first season was a little rough behind the scenes, and the actress was also worried that the role would be too repetitive(?)

Ultimately, I feel kind of bad for the actress since TNG is widely revered as one of the best sci-fi series and she missed an opportunity to be a major part of it; but I can understand why she felt the need to leave. Plus this change gave Worf more time to shine, and also made room to introduce Guinan; so I really can't be mad.

I also still find it pretty touching when the cast references Tasha and mourn her (like Data's hologram in the episode where they legally have to prove his sentience).

Denied, Mr Worf.

Do people like Guinan?

I was sold on her when she stabbed Q's hand with a fork.

I'm not so many episodes in, so I'm not sure how strong a character she'll be; but how could anyone not like a character played by Whoopi Goldberg?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Character aside, there is plenty controversy around Goldberg that can definitely sour any performance you recognize her in.

Hell yeah I do. Why wouldn't I?

No spoilers but there's a hell of a coda coming in "Yesterday's Enterprise".

One of these days, this event is going to be far enough in the past that my brain can stop saying "too soon!"

Today is not that day.

I guess the clue that it was dangerous was when it got up to De Knees.

Is this the world famous international superstar Rick Evans’ dad in the first panel?
