To be honest, and I'm saying this as someone who has only watched DS9 and VOY so correct me if I'm wrong, but the

This is my favorite of the season thus far. Fun, entertaining, vaguely Twilight Zone-y, fairly balanced use of the cast, Bortus got more than 2 lines (fivehead!), a callback to my favorite S1 episode.

As soon as I saw Liz's name in the credits, I was expecting her to be the being screwing with the crew, and I was not disappointed. I love that she even had Charly acting like a snotty little shit in her hallucinations, she really read the shit out of them.

but the alien lady at the end is giving me some Q vibes.

Yeah, Q-ish with a Tron lewk.

Throughout the episode I kept joking that Q was behind this lol.

This is the same Liz Seth mentioned on his Insta, right? The woman he sings duets with? I don't know her outside of that context so I was expecting to see her sing or something lol I need to look at more of her work.

Yes, same Liz! She's on Dynasty, and she's from the same Nickelodeon show as Ariana Grande. We've had a few posts about here & you might recognize here from these 2 memes:

btw, Hulu's youtube channel is super slow about uploading the next ep previews, but they do have some trailer and "inside the episode" stuff for future posts: https://www.youtube.com/c/hulu/videos

Yeah, I also noticed that about the episode previews. I really wanted to be able to add them =( what do you think about random episode gifs? I was thinking about adding one to the ends of the posts. Please let me know if you find any good gif sites!

[beesknees7]

I suppose you could add the preview for the episode currently being discussed. I saw people asking them to add stuff more quickly to youtube, but I'm guessing they consider it a hulu perk & you can't embed from there.

I haven't really used tumblr for a few years since I stopped making my own gifs. I'd offer to make some, but I don't even have ps installed anymore. I just did a search and this blog has some nice ones though: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/unionshiporville

from an ask they got, it looks like they're one of only people making gifs for the show
