I Wish Star Trek: Discovery's Wedding Got An Entire Episode

Summary It would have been a great idea forStar Trek: Discoveryto spend more time at the wedding of Ambassador Saru (Doug Jones) and President T’Rina (Tara Rosling), and I wish a whole episode was devoted to their nuptials. The glimpses of Saru and T’Rina’s promised nuptials inStar Trek: Discovery’s series finale, “Life, Itself”, were far too brief, with no time devoted to the ceremony itself. It’s an unusual choice, given thatStar Trek: Discoveryseason 5 built up the first Vulcan-Kelpien wedding as an important eventwith political ramifications for the couple’s home planets of Ni’Var and Kaminar, and a personal goal for Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) to attend....

Open-world video games are getting too big for their own good

Video game worlds have certainly come a long way since their formative period in the 1980s, when it was impressive to just move in three dimensions rather than the limited 2D planes of the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
