Título de juego de rol para este episodio de TNG, ‘Eye of the Beholder', en el que, realmente, Troi vive en primera persona el papel de un asesino vicario que acaba suicidándose, pero deja una huella psíquica por sus poderes telepáticos que provoca el suicidio de un joven tripulante, y casi el de Troi mismo. El episodio, que entramos a comentar a partir del minuto 33, también ahonda en la relación Troi-Worf, pero nuevamente fuera de la realidad y solo en la mente de Troi.

Eigentlich haben sie wenig gemeinsam: Odd Beholder, das kühle Electropop-Projekt von Daniela Weinmann, und die Zürcher Rock'n'Roller Annie Taylor. Ausser, dass beide am 22. Mai ein neues Album veröffentlicht haben – und seit Jahren zum Besten gehören, was die CH-Indie-Szene zu bieten hat. Und wenn man etwas genauer hinschaut – beziehungsweise hinhört –, entdeckt man dann doch Parallelen zwischen den neuen Alben «Out of Scale» (Annie Taylor) und «Honest Work» (Odd Beholder): das Motiv des Wassers, das immer wieder auftaucht, oder Durchhaltestrategien in einer Welt, in der Menschen zwischen Verbindungssuche und Selbstoptimierung verloren zu gehen drohen. So haben wir sie im Gespräch also doch gefunden: die Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Annie-Taylor-Frontfrau Gini Jungi und Daniela Weinmann, die wir aus Platzgründen (verflixte Eishockey-WM!) zum ungewöhnlichen, aber schlussendlich spassigen Doppelinterview eingeladen haben.

Join the  Uplift Community App TODAY!  Have you ever quietly wondered if the way you hear from God or connect with him is somehow wrong? Maybe it feels too loud, too unconventional, or too far outside the quiet time Bible journal template you think real Christians are supposed to follow. Hosanna Wong surveyed more than 1,000 people around the world and asked them two simple questions about their relationship with God. What she discovered will genuinely surprise you, and it might finally give you permission to stop chasing a spiritual standard that God never asked you to meet. Hosanna is a bestselling author, international speaker, and spoken word artist. Her newest book, Uncomplicated, is one of the most freeing and clarifying books on faith I have read in years. She is back on the show because so many of you asked for her, and I will be honest, I took notes. There is a story about a woman in Florida and a bird that I will never forget. You will know it when you get there.   What You Will Learn in This Episode The six roadblocks almost all of us face in our relationship with God (busyness, distraction, shame, grief, silence, and expectations) and why expectations may be the umbrella over all of them Why the standard you have been trying to reach in your prayer life and spiritual growth likely did not come from God The seven worship personalities, or as Hosanna calls them, praise‑onalities, and how to identify yours so you can stop forcing yourself into someone else's spiritual rhythm Why it is not only okay but actually biblical to worship God through movement, beauty, outward expression, tradition, solitude, intellectual curiosity, or community What my confession about loud worship services and roller coasters reveals about how God meets us exactly where we are wired One of the most beautiful stories about a woman, a bird, and her grandfather that will change the way you think about how God pursues each of us   Timestamps: (00:25) – What Hosanna's 1,000+ interviews were really trying to discover (01:21) – The two questions she asked every single person (01:30) – The 6 roadblocks almost all of us share (and why that's actually comforting) (03:27) – Why expectations may be the umbrella over every other roadblock (04:53) – The lie the enemy uses against the people who want to please God most (05:49) – Why so many women said "I know this is weird" about the way they connect with God (09:12) – The second question: what unique way have you found to encounter God? (09:30) – Introducing the 7 worship personalities: the "praise-onalities" (10:54) – Praise-onality #1: The Recreationalist (11:08) – Praise-onality #2: The Beholder of Beauty (11:16) – Praise-onality #3: The Soul Fire (12:18) – Praise-onality #4: The Sacred Space Seeker (13:09) – Praise-onality #5: The Interior Expert (13:38) – Praise-onality #6: The Thoughtsmith (14:07) – Praise-onality #7: The Artist of People (26:23) – The bird story. You need to hear the bird story. (31:26) – Why God made us all so wonderfully and uniquely, and what that means for how he pursues us (38:41) – The product Hosanna texted all her friends about (40:43) – Where to find Hosanna and why you need Uncomplicated   About Hosanna Wong Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, bestselling author, and spoken-word artist helping everyday people experience God for real. Widely known for her spoken word piece, “I Have a New Name,” Hosanna shares in churches, conferences, prisons, and other events around the world, reaching across various denominations, backgrounds, and cultures. Born and raised in an urban ministry on the streets of San Francisco, Hosanna later packed her life into suitcases and traveled to churches and other ministries throughout the United States to share about Jesus through spoken-word poetry. During those years without a permanent home, she began speaking and creating resources to serve the local and global church. Hosanna currently travels and speaks year-round and serves on teaching teams at churches throughout the United States. She and her husband, Guy, serve together in various ministries equipping people to experience and share God's love in their real lives. Hosanna is the bestselling author of How (Not) to Save the World, You Are More Than You've Been Told, and What God Says About You.   Links to great things we discussed:  Uncomplicate It Free 6-video Bible study Follow Hosanna on Instagram Hosanna's Song Recommendation: Space Jam Theme Song Hosanna's TV & Movie Recommendations: The Office & Titanic Hosanna's Product Recommendation: Invisalign  Function Health Uplift App Wise Woman Era Alli on YouTube   If your home could use a little more beauty and a gentle reminder of God's steady love, this tea towel is such a lovely place to start.

The Twilight Zone, from 1959, remains one of the most influential anthology series in horror history, blending psychological tension, science fiction, and social commentary into unforgettable standalone stories. In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, I'll break down how the series uses fear not through monsters, but through human behavior, perception, and moral consequence. Through iconic episodes like The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, The Shelter, Eye of the Beholder, and Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, this episode explores core themes including paranoia, identity, isolation, and the fragility of reality. From Cold War anxiety to timeless questions about human nature, The Twilight Zone reveals how quickly society can unravel, and how fear often comes from within. If you've ever wondered why this series still resonates decades later, this episode dives into what makes The Twilight Zone not just horror, but a mirror. Thank you, everyone, for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠@so_you_like_horror⁠⁠⁠ or email us directly at soyoulikehorror@gmail.com. We're open to all conversations, suggestions, topics, and criticisms.

In Episode 2, of Season 7 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom was re-joined (over 2.5 years on) by Barry Panayi, Group Chief Data Officer at Howden, where they discuss, how the CDAO role continues to evolve and whether accountability is being diluted, which includes;Why the CDAO role is splitting between commercial outcomes and BAU leadershipWhy the biggest trade-off today is speed vs sustainable valueA pragmatic view on AI ownership: enterprise enablement vs bespoke buildThe risk of over-indexing on ROI and neglecting foundational data capabilityThe danger of the CDAO role being watered downWhy many organisations still hire CDAOs for the wrong mandateHow culture and incentives shape whether data leaders can succeedHow AI is making value measurement easier than traditional data workWhy proving quick wins can sometimes slow long-term progressWhy CDAO–CTO chemistry now matters more than job titlesThe leadership lesson: make the least bad decision with convictionWhy Barry wrote The AI of the Beholder as a leadership decision simulatorThe reality that there is rarely one “right” leadership choiceWhy future board opportunities for CDAOs require broader leadership breadthWhat boards actually value from ex-CDAO leaders in NED roles

Welcome back dear listeners! This week, we are joined by Stratik, who invites us to stare deeply into the world of melodic techno with their mix: Eye of the Beholder. (disintegration ray not included) Stratik, a lover of raves and electronic music; a DJ of 14 years, operates out of Billings, MT. They have dazzled stages at Tesseract, Resurgance, Polaris, and an endless list of house parties and clubs. Inspired by the mystical, spiritual, and psychedelic meaning of music, they've set their gaze on a melodic mix that includes artists such as Detuned, Tinlicker, Daniele Di Martino, VNTM, and more. But hey.. don't let me spoil it all, come see(hear) for yourself! A few words from the artist: "This is one of my favorite sounds I haven't had the opportunity to play live for people yet. I love to tell a story with my mixes, there should be highs and lows and surprises that sweep you off your feet, and that's what I try to achieve with every mix I record. I hope this music can teleport you somewhere else, if only for a little while. I love you and I love all humans and pray to see peace and prosperity on earth and unity in our life time.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Ultima IV. We talk about the boat, we talk about dungeons (a tiny bit), we deep dive into NPCs and consequences, we talk about the quests and how everything is in the world, and answer some listener email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More of Ultima IV (Much more, in B's case) Issues covered: revisiting locations and finding new things, a game that does a lot with a little, everything existing in the world, getting to know the world, NPCs sharing sprites and being hard to remember, getting a ship and fighting your way on, broadside combat, dying to a waterspout, wanting to search the oceans, badly simulating tacking, riding a horse, being interrupted in any location, trying to replicate the tabletop experience, feeling like a "yes" game, whether what you do matters, can you be a thief, watering down a morality system, having a limited palette of options at any one time, layering frosting, taking out the friction and icky feeling, the niche audience of some RPGs, taking elements from older games and bringing them into modern games, asking questions of the player who is also the character, avoiding the uncanny valley, an aside into adventure mode, the horseshoe effect on NPCs, reaching the limits of what the human brain can contemplate, an aside into Dunbar's number, facing the same challenges, chunking chapters, feeling the anxiety of there being too much, coalescing your notes from time to time, the telescope moment and seeing the map, the lack of loot, preparing to do things, validating your assumptions, having to revisit everywhere, the friction of Pikmin, getting good controllers, handheld mode, the Wavebird, bouncing off character creation, character creation we've liked, wanting a story to wrap around a more specific character, the generic hero, having fun with a character creator, a freeing character creator.

There are monsters in tabletop RPGs that exist to be fought, monsters that exist to be feared, and monsters that exist to make the Dungeon Master quietly whisper, "I hope you prepared spells with saving throws." Beholders fall squarely into that last category. This week on RPGBOT.Podcast, we're diving deep into Beholder-Kin — floating orbs of paranoia, laser violence, and architectural malpractice. From tiny gazers that exist solely to be annoying, to death tyrants that refuse to stay dead out of spite, we explore why beholders remain one of Dungeons & Dragons' most iconic, miserable, and tactically terrifying monsters. Along the way, we discuss dream-based reproduction, anti-magic cones, and why every beholder lair looks like it was designed to fail a building inspection on purpose. Show Notes Beholders are one of the oldest and most recognizable monsters in Dungeons & Dragons, and for good reason. They aren't just bags of hit points with flashy attacks — they're intelligent, paranoid, and cruel creatures that reshape both combat and storytelling the moment they appear in a campaign. In this episode, the hosts break down what defines beholders and their many variants, collectively known as Beholder-Kin, and why they're such effective villains across nearly every tier of play. The discussion starts with what makes beholders fundamentally different from other monsters. Their signature eye rays, combined with a central anti-magic eye, mean that fights against beholders rarely follow predictable patterns. Even experienced players are forced to react rather than execute clean plans. The randomness of eye rays creates chaos, but the creature's intelligence means that chaos is applied with intent — the rays may be random, but the targets absolutely are not. From there, the conversation expands into the many variants of Beholder-Kin found throughout D&D. Gazers, spectators, gauths, mind witnesses, beholder zombies, death kisses, and death tyrants all represent different expressions of the same alien biology. Each fills a distinct role, allowing Dungeon Masters to introduce beholder-themed encounters from the earliest levels all the way into high-tier play without losing flavor or threat. This flexibility is one of the reasons beholders remain so enduring in D&D design. Combat tactics play a major role in the episode, especially the importance of running beholders intelligently. A beholder that floats into melee range and trades bite attacks is a beholder being played incorrectly. These creatures thrive on distance, verticality, and environmental control. Their lairs are often carved with disintegration rays, filled with vertical shafts, traps, and contingency plans, and designed to punish creatures that rely on gravity. When played well, a beholder encounter feels less like a fair fight and more like surviving a hostile environment that actively hates you. The episode also dives into beholder lore and ecology, which somehow manages to be both fascinating and deeply unsettling. Earlier editions described grotesque physical reproduction, while modern D&D reframes beholder reproduction as a dream-based phenomenon where nightmares literally manifest new beholders into reality. This almost always results in immediate territorial violence, reinforcing the idea that beholders are incapable of peaceful coexistence — even with themselves. To balance the horror, the hosts also explore notable exceptions in D&D lore. Famous beholders like Xanathar embody tragic paranoia, while figures like Large Luigi — an omniscient beholder tavern owner in Spelljammer — prove that even reality-warping aberrations can choose hospitality over genocide. These examples highlight how beholders can serve not just as villains, but as unforgettable NPCs, information brokers, or narrative wild cards. The episode wraps by touching on player-facing options. While players can't normally play beholders, they can still interact with Beholder-Kin through warlock patrons, summoned spectators, or gazer familiars. Used carefully, these options let players brush up against beholder weirdness without completely breaking the game — though the temptation to do something irresponsible is always there. Key Takeaways Beholder-Kin work because they operate on multiple levels at once. Mechanically, they introduce chaos through randomized effects, but narratively they reward intelligent, ruthless play. A beholder encounter is never just about hit points — it's about positioning, preparation, and survival. These monsters scale exceptionally well across a campaign. From CR ½ gazers to CR 14 death tyrants, Beholder-Kin allow Dungeon Masters to introduce consistent themes without repeating the same fight. Each variant reinforces the core beholder identity while adding new tactical wrinkles. Lair design is not optional when using beholders. Their environments are an extension of their personality: vertical, hostile, and unapologetically unfair. A beholder fought on flat ground is missing half its threat. Finally, beholders remain iconic because they embody the strange heart of D&D. They're terrifying, absurd, overdesigned, and deeply committed to their own misery. Whether used as cosmic horror, dungeon boss, or omniscient bartender, Beholder-Kin remind us that sometimes the most memorable monsters are the ones that don't want to exist — but absolutely refuse to stop.

Korby finds Gamble at a doorway to the Vezda prison and the Enterprise goes to rescue him. This is a trap to lure out M'Benga, as he and Gamble need to be together to open the doorway. The crew learn that the unique combination of DNA inside Batel matches the biology of the Beholder statue that guards the prison. To open the doorway without M'Benga and Gamble, the crew devise a plan to simultaneously fire on it from the Enterprise and the Farragut; Spock performs a mind meld with James Kirk so the two can perfectly sync their actions. Pike and Batel enter the prison and confront Gamble, who destroys the Beholder and frees the other Vezda. Using her emerging power, Batel creates an illusion in which she and Pike live a full and happy life together. She then traps all the Vezda in the prison and becomes the Beholder. Pike struggles to move on without Batel as the Enterprise sets out to explore uncharted planets.Trekcast: The Galaxy's Most Unpredictable Star Trek Podcast!Welcome to Trekcast, the galaxy's most unpredictable Star Trek podcast! We're a fan-made show that dives into everything Star Trek, plus all things sci-fi, nerdy, and geeky—covering Star Wars, Marvel, DC Comics, Stargate, and more.But Trekcast isn't just about warp drives and superheroes.

Looking around in 2025, it's hard not to see the outright rejection of classical beauty. From Art to Architecture, fashion to physical beauty trends, it is clear that something has been lost in societies perception of beauty. But this is not a new phenomenon. As society has rejected truth, it has also rejected the concept of objective beauty. Today we will discuss where this hatred for the beautiful came from, why it has become so pervasive, and how to deal with a world that calls ugly things beautiful and beautiful things oppression.-----⭐ SPONSOR: Good Ranchers Serve only the best meat to fuel your family this school year!
