Last week’s episode of Star Trek: Picard is “Mercy” (PIC 2x08). This is the antepenultimate episode! Thank you for joining me on this adventure.

I totally meant to post this last week, but I had a lot on my mind and a lot going on, and so it got delayed until today. The night before the penultimate episode. Oh, brains!

I react to the fourth episode of HALO on Paramount Plus. Although I have seen a number of negative reviews out of fandom, I am still enjoying the show. It is fun sci-fi from my point of view. There is a developed storyline, there is plot development, there is characters with individual motives, and it’s told in an entertaining manner that captivates my personal interest. In my personal opinion, it is good.

Tonight’s episode of Star Trek: Picard is “Monsters” (PIC 2x07). This episode deals heavily with mental health and mental illness. If you need help with mental health issues, you can look to MentalHealth.gov, United Way 211, the National Alliance on Mental Illness Helpline, or a number of local places. Help is out there.

I react to the the third episode of HALO on Paramount Plus. As someone who has not played the HALO campaigns outside of HALO: Reach, I am not overly familiar with the franchise. Therefore, my expectations aren't much more than a superficial understanding of who some of the characters are and the alien design.

I find that I am very invested in the show so far - it has the kind of storytelling that I like. Instead of being a blockbuster movie from the get-go, it builds on itself. That’s the kind of stories that I like. it’s a strong start, but not the most explosive.

Tonight’s episode of Star Trek: Picard is “Two of One” (PIC 2x06). I am out visiting family, and so my setup is slightly different. I’ll be back at my usual recording space soon. I also don’t yet have a camera, but that will happen soon. Again, thank you all for helping me get to a place where I can have a camera and for encouraging me to keep creating.

The other day, I had pondered the idea of doing reaction videos. Specifically, reacting to Star Trek: Picard. I decided to give it a shot. I've never done a reaction video before - this is an experiment. I may only do the one episode, I may go the entire season, I might even do other shows.

Please forgive the low quality - I am using my laptop's internal camera and I do not have any video editing skills. As I said, this is an experiment. Please feel free to leave a comment!
