Spoilers Santiago Cabrera as Captain Cristóbal "Chris" Rios

just once I want to hear him go "Aye caramba!" C'mon I know it's in there, it's just waiting to bust out
Ay Caramba would be like Rios saying Oh shucks! Instead of Shit! Or Oh fudge instead of F---K!
It's way to soft and cartoony-cliche safe for Rios, Rios seems he'd be more than comfortable using the real word straight up Carajo! (or stronger; J---r!)
He's already used Me Cago en...D! (edit and just caught ep.9 Puta Madre and Malparido!:lol:)
With a show that has no problem dropping f-bombs, it's inevitable we'll get one, if he hasn't already.
Looking at you Emmet.

LOL! ^ Maybe a Southern-Cone holo-trio of strikers Messi, Suárez and Rios.
Although he may identify more with the English players.
Anyone catch Rios playing football with the synthetic-flower-children.

It scares me to think about the possibility of an uncountable number of Neymar holograms...

I have seen Santiago Cabrera with Harry Kane, though!
 
Du bist Charrúa?

No. I'm natural born "Ossi" from Germany.
But I heard Jonathan del Arco is born in Uruguay. Cabrera is from Chile.
As to Uru-Guru: I came up with this term after listening to Metal Guru by T-Rex, just after World Cup 2018. When Mexico kicked the German's butt I changed my colors......

This one was war - at least from 1.10 onwards..... With the legendary a$$ grabbing scene involving Gonzalo Jara and Edinson Cavani. You can't see anything in this video. It has been censored for American spectators :D. Rios would have kicked Jara's coj****.

So does Rios now pack up all the EHs now that he has a real crew?
Even the EEH (Ian) replaced with a Deus-Ex ship-repair device.

So help me out L to R we have:
-Ian EEH Engineer (Scottish)
-Enoch ENH Navigation (Irish)
-Emmet ETH Tactical (Spanish (Chilean accent)
-Mr. Hospitality?:lol: EHH Hospitality (English (American?)
-Emil EMH Medical (English)
-And Rios (Anglo-Spanish accent)
Or do people want to see them all stick around (as Emergency back-up crew) ?

I want to see all of the different Rios incarnations - I'm holo addicted like Reg :D. I'd like so see Santiago in the role of one of the Musketeers, though!

I did like one aspect of the season finally, which tied nicely to the introduction of Rios, in particular the book he was reading.
It all seemed to come back to that.
Rios: Chris Rios, ...he's just an EMH

Just?

Picard: What happened to you?
Rios: I didn't die!

"We personalize the All in order to save ourselves from Nothingness; and the only mystery really mysterious is the mystery of suffering.

Suffering is the path of consciousness, and by it living beings arrive at the possession of self-consciousness. For to possess consciousness of oneself, to possess personality, is to know oneself and to feel oneself distinct from other beings, and this feeling of distinction is only reached through an act of collision, through suffering more or less severe, through the sense of one's own limits. Consciousness of oneself is simply consciousness of one's own limitation. I feel myself when I feel that I am not others; to know and to feel the extent of my being is to know at what point I cease to be, the point beyond which I no longer am...."

"He who does not suffer, and who does not suffer because he does not live, is that logical and frozen ens realissimum, the primum movens, that impassive entity, which because of its impassivity is nothing but a pure idea. The category does not suffer, but neither does it live or exist as a person. And how is the world to derive its origin and life from an impassive idea? Such a world would be but the idea of the world. But the world suffers, and suffering is the sense of the flesh of reality; it is the spirit's sense of its mass and substance; it is the self's sense of its own tangibility; it is immediate reality...."

How do you convince yourself you are "real" ?

Anticipated by the last question asked above ^ , I believe was during Rios' intro ep. 2
In the end Data struggles with the same.
After Data reveals his consciousness continues to still exist through the synths, though many may desire immortally, he still wishes to die in order to learn what it is to be truly human.
Which nicely ties right back to the book that Rios was reading, The Tragic Sense of Life, by Unamuno. That pretty much narrates, that in order for life to have true experience and meaning it must be aware it's finite. Only with the knowledge of inevitable death that we give life and purpose true value.
And Picard and Data's conversation alludes to Data's awareness of his pursuit and wish of allowing for death, in order to gain purpose.
It is this awareness in the end, that gives his life purpose.
