I only watched it the once when it came out, so I could be misremembering. I saw the first few episodes pointing to 31 being necessary before getting diverted by Control. I mostly remember being worried that the "solution" to Control was going to be tossing it to the Delta quadrant and becoming borg

Yeah, I was trying to go with kind of the inverse of the point I commented on, where instead of idealism being made gritty, the threat posed by 31 to the Federation itself is more ignored. Sure they have to get sent to the future, but only because the computer went evil, not because it is bad

DS9 Section 31: Clearly in the wrong, maybe not even an org, readily defeated by a guy and his Irish best friend by adhering to their principles
Disco S 31: What if the black ops people are really good and cool and were the only thing keeping the federation safe

If you like these, check out James Tynion's Blue Book comics! It's an anthology of different peoples'encounters. There are two collections out, and an ongoing Red Book series of encounters in the Soviet Union

I have a deep admiration for any art willing to embarrass itself because it feels too much.

I think Marcus theaters does free popcorn on Tuesdays, but that might be a student only thing 😔

There's also the bit towards the end where Vimes comprehends the scale of a city and how much it takes to sustain, but also that is absolutely worth it for the things it creates!

The half blaster one sure, but I like the second

Did you make that cover image yourself? It's really cool!

Have you seen any of the pencil sharpening speedruns?
