Oliphaunts.

Yeah, what qualifies as winning it in battle will be up to the Mandalorians to determine. Do you have to just defeat the blade's current owner, or do you need to defeat them while they're actually wielding it? Does it have to be melee combat, or could you take them out with a blaster? A thermal...

I'm a bit torn on this. On the one hand, I like the idea of specialising into specific types at higher levels - i.e. one druid might go Elementals, another might go Monstrosities, and another with Dragons. But on the other hand, I'm not so keen on cluttering the class with multiple...

We'll always have Lower Decks. They give at least as much love to TOS as they do the 90s series.

Should be easy enough to resolve. Just get everyone to compare them to Gandalf as a baseline.

That does look well suited to the task. Curiously, the item's description gives its AC and hit points, but doesn't describe the result of its destruction. Are the creatures within it all freed, or are they lost forever in their extraplanar spaces?

I've been thinking in a different direction, but still DS9-related. Pah Wraiths.

The in-universe explanation/excuse is that it's for warp travel - the more streamlined shape allows the warp bubble to flow more smoothly around the ship. For me it's between the refit original Enterprise and the D, though I really like the Ambassador-class C, which manages to capture a lot of...

The refit featured in some good films, but the -A replacement was only in Star Trek V and VI. I know I don't rate The Undiscovered Country very highly compared to most, but even if you think it was great, the ship barely did anything in that movie except be a target for photon torpedoes.

They mentioned that the Daystrom Institute was evacuated in the wake of the break-in, and was currently empty aside from two-hourly security patrols. Can't say I blame them - I wouldn't want to be on the station full of top-secret superweapons run by a creepy split-personality AI any longer than...

I think they didn't think they'd need to - that they were going to reduce them to a mere remnant that would have only minor impact on the plot going forward. So they happily established their hard-and-fast rule, no taking off the helmet in front of anyone at all. But sometime between seasons 2...

What these programs need is to be able to use "uncanny valley" as a negative prompt.

To be fair, they pretty much did that in the first two seasons, showing that other Mandalorians don't adhere to this custom and having Din compromise it for the sake of his ward, while also having his faction be decimated down to a handful of members. And now they're doing a Rise of Skywalker...

At the same time, though, it's one amongst dozens of Intrepid-class vessels, and we don't know how famous and storied any of them are. It might simply not be the only famous vessel of its class out there. Honestly, the most surprising thing is that there was enough left of Voyager to stick in a...

It's pretty much standard practice in any drama to provide some personal stakes to go along with the larger ones.

I do wish I had a better idea when this show was set compared to Star Trek Prodigy, because there are some potential continuity snarls. On the one hand, the Defiant was very much still in active service at the end of Prodigy, but on the other hand the events of that series should have seriously...

And the fact that someone from Naboo - someone senior given the royal guards and executive spaceship - was helping him. Who was in a position to do that? Certainly not Padme, the attack on the temple took her by surprise as much as anyone, and she didn't really know what had happened until...

The part where they all simultaneously go off and isolate themselves to eat meals, while next to a predator's nest, without leaving anyone on watch was particularly special. I guess those things don't hunt by smell.

Yeah, I fully believe that as a Jedi he could jump around the way he does, but at the same time it just looks ridiculous. And putting him in a set of junior armour is not going to improve that visual.
