🙃 I've clearly been gearing up to the tricky stuff this week: private equity & KKR's acquisition of S&S on Tuesday, the many political grifts in modern economics today, &... this weekend, for our first big book club post on KSR's Ministry for the Future, carbon quantitative easing: the idea, the challenges, the possibilities.
But for now my brain is going whir, whoosh, & sometimes brrrp! so first, switching gears: a review to polish for Strange Horizons, then the last of SNW🖖to take with lunch.
@MLClark A friend is coming over tonight for dinner and the SNW finale. 
JUST FINISHED IT.
SO GOOD.
SO MUCH TO DISCUSS! 😊
(I can't tell if I want to go back to S1E01 or put on a TOS ep or movie right now. What a cracking good season closer!)
@MLClark I'll probably catch up with you in the morning ... Watching the breaking news, hopefully Colombia and Ecuador are still getting along tomorrow. You're in my thoughts.
Oh, I'm so glad you'll get to watch it with a friend! This is one episode I really wish I'd had a fellow Trekkie over for, but Colombia doesn't have many, alack.
Have a lovely evening with this one! It's more than a Trek episode, but even its other references are added with great care for core aims.
@MLClark Good morning ... Sent you a DM.
"Hegemony" borrows, of course, from "Aliens" but it also borrows from the opening scene in "Galaxy Quest." S3E1 needs to begin with Pike ordering, "Activate the Omega 13." 🤣
Why are these colonies always like "20th Century Midwest United States"? Why not 21st Century Medellín, Colombia?
We won't see Part 2 until after the WGA/SAG strikes are settled, a very long time.
