There are also some puzzles, a po-ke-no game and a box with chess, checkers and tic-tac-toc games, but at that point I too would have seen enough and closed the door.

I don't know what's funnier, Sophie saying she knows the politician lied to her because he was looking into her eyes and not at her boobs, or Eliot and Hardison both saying after a few seconds silence that yeah, that actually checks out, can't argue with that

Episode 2, Season 1-Parallax

This is the first episode in which we get to see Chakotay and Janeway working together as First Officer and Captain, and it very much sets them up for success. The main conflict is whether or not B'Elanna is suited to be Chief Engineer. Janeway is surprised when he suggests her, and then when they're on the bridge and need help from Engineering, Chakotay calls B'Elanna first. Janeway is clearly scandalized, and calls to her Starfleet engineer instead, putting him in charge. She and Chakotay go into her ready room and they have an argument about whether the Maquis can or should have any command positions. It gets fairly heated, and towards the end, he says, a little more gently and with a slight sadness that he's trying to help her, and is sorry that she can't see that. I think that though he cares about his people and wants to take care of them, helping Janeway integrate them and run a successful ship is one of his top priorities. Despite the fact that Janeway is skeptical of B'Elanna, I think she realizes that Chakotay has her best interests at heart.

Unfortunately, when she tries to talk to B'Elanna later and get to know her, B'Elanna's temper flares, and it goes poorly. Still, Janeway agrees to allow B'Elanna to be in the meeting later in the episode in which they're discussing how to escape the black hole. This time, Janeway gets to witness B'Elanna's brilliance, and she doesn't ignore it. Right as everyone is leaving the ready room, Chakotay glances back at Janeway to gauge her feelings. She smiles.

Which makes him give her his soft smile, one that just grows softer over time

After Janeway makes B'Elanna Chief Engineer, she watches her from the deck above as B'Elanna makes her amends with Carey, the Starfleet Engineer who would have been Chief Engineer if it wasn't for her. Chakotay joins Janeway, asking, a little guardedly, if Janeway is checking up on B'Elanna. Janeway simply says that she's observing, and that B'Elanna will definitely have to face some opposition:

She then adds:

Their connection thus deepened, Chakotay asks if she would have served under him if they were on the Maquis ship. She grins and says that as Captain, she gets to keep some things to herself. And they share the first of what will be many looks of fond amusement:

As always, additions or disagreements are welcome!

It’s Monday!! So it’s time to unpack the latest episode of Yellowstone (ep. 3x05 “Cowboys and Dreamers, even though Niki mistakenly calls it 3x04 a couple of times!). 

This one does not let up, and neither do we, as we give a recap, ship some characters, play some games, and even hash out some of our own new theories. 

Come get Dutton Dirty with us and let us know what you thought of the latest episode and that killer reveal!

Good Omens Random Thought #20281891

Y'all ever think of that scene in the Tadfield Manor, where Crowley pushes Aziraphale up against the wall as he says he is nice? How Crowley INSISTS he is not nice, and strangely states that nice is a four-letter word? You know what other word is four-lettered?

Love.

And this keeps me awake at night. Like saying "I'm not nice", yeah okay understandable, he has a reputation he thinks he needs to maintain, but of what consequence is the statement that nice is a four-letter word? It seems to me that for Crowley, Aziraphale stating he is nice, is somehow an indication that he is also in love. I mean we all know why he made it so that those office employees were having miraculous escapes. Cause Aziraphale would otherwise be disappointed in him and he didn't want that. But to see it called out, was to see his own emotions bared and that's something which made him vulnerable.

I might be reading into it too much but that statement "I'm not nice. Nice is a four-letter word" just stuck with me. Cause I've often heard the statement "Love is a four letter word". For Crowley, being called nice by Aziraphale meant that somehow his love for him might get recognised as well.

And well, he couldn't let that happen, could he?

All that time at the island plotting my return, I didn’t realize how hard it would be to reconnect with Mom, Thea, Laurel. Ok, I didn’t…I didn’t know how painful would it be to keep my secrets. You asked me to save this city. To right your wrongs. I will. I swear. I can’t be the Oliver that everyone wants me to be which means that sometimes to honor your wishes I need to dishonor your memory. I am sorry…

Widow's Bay ep 1x02: The Brochure

Our History Article

(unfortunately Patricia's thumb is in the way and I couldn't get everything, but we get some juicy bits!)

In 1681, Richard Warren was a merchant Pilgrim, a Puritan seeking a new community. There was a wicked storm at sea and the ship sank, leaving Richard to swim to the nearest shore, which became Widow’s Bay Island. He was determined to make this undiscovered land his own and he formed a settlement where Widow’s Bay Township now stands proud and lasting.

With first wife who died under mysterious circumstances (some say by Richard Warren’s hand), Warren had seven seven children. In 1701, he married a 25 years old woman who traveled from Boston for the engagement, named Sarah. When a madness plague affected the island in 1702, Sarah attempted to leave the (island) with the children, but they…… and died.

...  ships in the 1700s, … … … …, the township was… and thriving by the mid 1750. There were setbacks, with rumors of strange and deadly fog, aggressive sea creatures other anomalies that threatened the well-being of the citizens of Widow’s Bay. When you visit the Historical Society, you can see firsthand accounts and period articles and photos of some of the phenomena that envelopes the lore of the island. And, when you stay at the Kreakwater Inn, be sure to be on the lookout for ghosts and other hauntings.

Although no know living relatives remain on the island, the Richard Warren Museum preserves the legacy of our island’s founding father and family.  Usually open by appointment, the museum does have holiday hours so be sure to check in and see items from the Warren homestead, some as early as the laste 1600s belonging to Richard’s children and wife.

What happened to his first wife?? Also, I have transcribed the whole thing as it was, including grammar mistakes (I think, English is not my first language) and the "seven seven children" bit.

As for the second wife and (all?) the children, my guess is that they drowned trying to leave the island. I couldn't see the key words of that sentence.

Hello From The Mayor

As Mayor, I’d like to personally invite you to enjoy all the beauty of Widow’s Bay Island. Whether you want to get a tan and take a dip in our fine waters, or just enjoy the festivities, please join us at Widow’s Beach on July 1st to see our Mayor take the inaugural swim to the buoy and back.

The beach is just a stone’s throw from the Town Square, so you can enjoy some dinning, shopping and romantic walks while you are here. Be sure learn more about our island’s rich and eccentric history at The Historical Society and the Richard Warren House. And while you are here, visit our historic lighthouse. We are so glad you are here!

On the opposite page, it's too blurry to read much, but I can see two events:

July 4th: Fireworks celebration on the beach

July-August: Historic Cemetery Tours 👀 (at this point I think they are just tempting fate a bit too much)

--- --- --- --- --- ---

Notes:

I was wondering if they tried to hide the curses in the touristic brochure so I ended up checking it and nope, they mention some of them, including that the inn is haunted, LOL! Well, to be honest that's also a good bait for tourists.

Not knowing the name of the inn was driving me crazy so I was so happy when I spotted the name in the article: The Kreakwater Inn (if I read it correctly).

The Our History article has a photo of the map of the island that (blurrily) appeared at the beginning of ep 3 and it looks like, yes, the "Don't travel Here" warning is at the top right side of the map.
