Wine Dark Sea and some tidbits

Tonight, over at the Hidden Frontier forums, the second episode of Star Trek: Odyssey was released. The Wine Dark Sea it is called, and tells the tale of out intrepid crew trying to get fuel for the ship. During the mission, a crew member is injured and Doctor Vaughan, hindered by damaged equipment and hald a staff, realizes the young man is doomed.

Ro, still uneasey about being the captain of the ship, finds his troubles multiplied by this, plus Stadi and T'Lorra's active pursuit at pissing each other off.

Brandon McConnell makes his debut as Ro, and I think he did a wonderful job, bringing some new depth to Ro. The script was tight, a bit talky talk (as most episodes are), but there was some great moments here.

Beo does a fine job, despite this being the first time as both writer and director. Having to handle a new actor playing Ro was even more impressive.

On a side note, it looks like some more nasty weather is moving in. Much like last Friday when it rained all day, starting tomorrow night and into Friday, we could have a repeat. The roomie is off to Nashville for a football game this weekend, leaving Saturday and coming back on Tuesday.

Work goes on, as it looks like Natasha will be leaving Rancho to go to Mira Loma, the newest Borders set to open in mid February. I wish her luck, but I dred training a new manager.

We'll see what happens.
