That's very kind. Thank you Sparrow.

This all sounds very promising Sparrow! But if you need to make space for your own stuff, make that a priority over reading mine.

Games have come a very long way since then, but the story is excellent.

It's very, very good.

On the plus side, the Khan audio drama is legit good. I love Kirsten Beyer's writing and would love her to be a showrunner. This may be as close as we'll get?

The other day Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers said that because of the time constraints imposed by the Writer's Guild strike, a lot of season 3 was done on the fly. Which makes so much sense, as this season hasn't been the best.

One nice thing about self contained episodes is that it's easy to skip the plonkers and the story doesn't get stuck in that place for the rest of the season. So that's... something? But yeah, that felt like a bad episode of Enterprise. And that's saying something.

I hear that.

So glad you are enjoying it!

Yeah... Remember when they used to show pilots on TV as a "movie of the week?" That's what it felt like. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Would love to see what the cast could do with more character development, but don't think we'll get the chance.

(I do also have an illustrated YA trilogy retelling the Aeneid, if that is of interest!)

Sorry for my late reply! I think the best one I can recommend is Rosemary Sutcliffe's retelling, illustrated gorgeously by Alan Lee.

(Yes, I say 'Huzzah!' too much, but there are worse vices!)
