68. Civil Defense (Star Trek DS9 3x07) This one is fine when Gul Dukat isn't on screen and great when he is. I wish it were great for more of is runtime I will say I'm fascinated with the dynamic between Dukat and Garak and I really hope the show explores it more in the future

67. The Abandoned (Star Trek DS9 3x06) Mixed feelings on this one. Good execution of a misguided idea; I like the character work here a lot and there's some great dialogue but the bioessentialist conclusion sours it for me unfortunately, it's a common sci-fi trope but it's one I really dislike

66. Second Skin (Star Trek DS9 3x05) This was definitely better than Equilibrium, still a bit hamfisted at times but a lot more natural in its dialogue and character work overall. Does a fair job of delivering its central mystery, too. Not really a highlight of the season but a decent enough time

Favorite town/city theme: Canalave City (Pokemon DPPt) Hardest choice yet, tbh. There are way too many 10/10 tracks in this category HMs: Breezy, Timber (FF8), Another Guldove (CC), Shevat (XG), Castle Town (Deltarune), Bran Bal (FF9), Folsense (Layton 2) www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVYp...

Favorite main theme/motif: Dragonsong (FFXIV: Heavensward) Okay these are two different things quite frankly but thankfully my pick is the same for both HMs: Deltarune (Don't Forget), FFXIV (Answers) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftuw...

65. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Rewatch) Strange to jump this far ahead, I know, but it'd been too long since I watched it. It's somehow a lot better than I remember, and I was already a big fan of it. Probably Lynch's most relentlessly harrowing work but that's exactly why it lands so well

140

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

64. Pilot (Twin Peaks 1x01) (Rewatch) A friend of mine recently finished the entire original run of Twin Peaks and it inspired me to revisit this, and goddamn dude it's just as good as I remember, such an incredible introduction to the show and these characters, it borders on perfect IMO

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Like beyond my frustration at Hamaguchi misunderstanding the cause of "open-world fatigue" and opting to put even more handholding in Revelation, I don't understand why almost a decade removed from BotW's release and overwhelming success it doesn't have more proper imitators in this department

010

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

And given the degree to which those games are celebrated (a degree that people who don't care about this sort of thing often find exhausting) amongst exploration-fiends it's really confusing to me that this sort of thing isn't more common

110

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

There is so much power in just placing something in the game world without signposting it whatsoever and letting the player stumble across it when or if they happen to go there It's this kind of thing that makes me love BotW/TotK and Elden Ring so much when I hate most other open world games

110

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Sometimes I think people who aren't exploration-brained really heavily underestimate the degree to which being told where to go to find something devalues the player's agency in finding that thing.

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I sorta wanna make a mod for FF7 Rebirth that removes all the markers littering the map and makes Chadley stop hounding you to go do them. I actually feel like this would hugely improve the game for a lot of players, myself included

110

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

63. Holston's Pick (Silo 1x02) A marked step down, unfortunately. Lots of awkward or unnatural exposition here and the character work is not nearly as strong yet, and the melodrama feels unearned and damages the tone. Plot is advanced in some cool ways but a lot of it feels like key jangling tbh

100

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

62. Freedom Day (Silo 1x01) This was not bad, the plot is decidedly intriguing and the characters have promise, it's decently atmospheric too. I hope some of the more awkward bits of dialogue and worldbuilding get ironed out but this held my attention for an hour which is rare for TV to do nowadays

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

X-2 really grew on me over the years, honestly once I got out of the intro my opinion of it skyrocketed and it's now easily among my favorites It's a huge tonal shift from X but in the context of the universe that actually makes a lot of sense? And I've come to appreciate that a lot

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I feel like not enough is said about the cutscene direction in Shadowbringers, it's really good - I love how throughout this whole sequence they keep occasionally throwing in close-ups of the nectarine as Tesleen talks about anything at all to avoid directly mentioning Halric's fate

000

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

61. Equilibrium (Star Trek DS9 3x04) An episode with a very interesting plot and absolutely no idea how to effectively tell it. My interest is thoroughly piqued and I'm excited to watch the followup that I know exists, but the dialogue is so bad that I don't think I'll ever sit through this again

Nothing wrong with frictionless, comforting escapism media where none of the bad stuff exists, if that's your jam or your need, but we all collectively really really REALLY have to get rid of the idea that media that deals with immoral subjects leave an immoral taint on all who engage with it.

60. Thirty-Eight Snub (Breaking Bad 4x02) I really like the juxtaposition of Walt trying to prepare for the immediate future while Jesse is stuck trying to deal with the immediate past, and they're both doing a terrible, terrible job of it

120

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

59. Box Cutter (Breaking Bad 4x01) I honestly think that if you can get to this point in the series and still think Walt is "the good guy" you have no moral compass, what a profoundly senseless tragedy all around, no one emerged from this unscathed

Azdamine🏳️‍🌈 @azdamine.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
