I'm sure as hell not staffing the president, but the team I'm working on makes me feel like this every day. (Timestamp important.) https://youtu.be/N3DhDX0vS8M?t=84
It seems to me like it's high time and past time for an Ortegas-centric episode. I'm honestly not sure why we haven't gotten one yet—unless there's a reason we've been saving her personal history for later. 👀
Strange New Worlds may be my favorite Star Trek show. The vibe of the crew so far has been kind of workmanlike, but now we're getting some real chemistry and emotion—it feels like the actors are hitting their stride. And the… villain? breakaway star?… of episode seven has tremendous promise; I hope they come back.
My biggest question at this point is why the captain lets Ortegas get away with so much. Is there a real reason? I wonder. 🤔
This feels like what Star Trek was always meant to be.

The Exlene wireless gamecube controller also "connects" but then doesn't actually work. Ah well.
Turns out: _almost._ It sees the controller, and the TV claims to complete the pairing, but the controller isn't convinced. Ah well. The Switch Pro controller is better than nothing, I guess. Although… I think it already supported the (nearly identical) Xbox controller, and I never did anything with that. 😬
Currently installing the tvOS 16 prerelease because:
> Expanded game controller support: Apple says many additional Bluetooth game controllers are supported on tvOS 16. Notably, this includes support for Nintendo's Joy-Cons and Pro Controller.
Extremely curious to find out if this also means my favorite wireless PowerA GameCube controller. 👀 Having a decent controller would make me much more likely to check out the games available for TV.
Caught (and released) my first firefly of the season. Still a bit early and sparse, tho.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Episode 6
Strange New Worlds is quickly becoming one of my favorite Star Trek series—maybe on its way to become my favorite. But lol @ having to sideline Spock for most of episode 6 because his logic would have put him squarely opposite Pike morally.
