Super Mario Odyssey. It's mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

Q is going to go public with it any day now, just you wait.

Can't speak to overall issues, and haven't watched it since it originally aired, but there was somewhat infamous friction between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, to the point where they would not appear in a scene with each other. The scene in the final episode (or near it, I don't exactly remember) in which they appear together at the bar is assembled from separately shot footage.

I think it mostly suffered from the standard network TV show issue of not having a real plan beyond "as many episodes as possible".

He's threatening in a way that Anthony Hopkins never could be (and to be fair, in a way he never tried to be). He's physically imposing to go with the mental acuity. Absolutely superb.

Hopkins is fantastic in the role, and deserves the plaudits, but like you, I feel like Mikkelson inhabited the role like nobody else has.

Disastrous space-leader or disastrous-space leader?

Even if you could prove it, it would still go badly in a lot of places in a lot of times.

Her head is on his left shoulder, if that helps it pop into place for you.

"Some"? 🤨

There is a lot of competition in the "creepy pictures of Richard D James" category.

Don't know if he's my absolute favourite, but I love Timicin from TNG's S04E22 "Half a Life". He's a good, dedicated and kind man who would have been a great long-term partner for Lwaxana Troy, but for the fact that he is about to commit ritual suicide as he's about to turn 60 as a part of a culturally enforced practice called The Resolution.

Played by David Ogden Stiers, he has great chemistry with Majel Barrett, and their relationship is a believable one. He's a man torn between challenging his society for the chance to keep living in order to save it (he's the lead scientist trying to stabilise their sun) while finding love with Lwaxana, and not rocking the boat and simply doing what's expected of him.

And of course, in the end, >!he chooses to die!<.
