True, and I realised after I'd posted that I'd forgotten about Spectre 7. One idea that kept playing in my head was if Wim's dad was the captain, and his passed-away mother was the concubine. But the dad seems way too not-cool under pressure for that to be the case.

Why would they need to? It's a whole planet. Just because they have a singular focus doesn't mean they necessarily lack all the skillsets and resources to grow their society along with the population, or even if they do, there are always droids to put in the work. Having a mixture of species...

I liked the Doctor's collection of TARDIS models and memorabilia. Are they just police box models in-universe, or has the TARDIS been spotted around the world enough times that there's a subculture dedicated to it? The Doctor's reaction to being handed a sink plunger was fun. If the Time Hotel...

I kind-of assumed it was set up to supplement or replace whatever minting facilities were already in place, not that it was the first and only mint for Republic credits. I guess we'll see.

So, if At Attin was supposed to be a galactic mint, was it only supposed to stay secret until it established itself as such, or was it meant to continue staying hidden? Because I find it a little harder to believe that a planet can stay hidden when there are regular shipments of a galaxy's worth...

The TARDIS doesn't just come when it's called, it's not a puppy. Actually, I get strong cat vibes from it.

Yes, he's certainly at least passingly familiar with some of the tenets of the Jedi code, though he clearly doesn't set much stock in them. Incidentally, I noticed the other day that the first reference to the "old Republic" is in Episode IV, when Tarkin announces the dissolution of the Senate...

Couldn't resist To actually contribute something useful, maybe there's a logistical reason for using bears in the region - like, maybe a lot of medium predators, such as wolves, that horses would be panicked by, but are in turn unlikely to try to take on multiple bears. Or maybe there are...

The great thing about these mounts is that you don't need saddles - you can just ride bear-back.

Casino Royale: Battle of the Scrooges "The name's Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge." "I guess there was more of grave than of gravy about him." "That's how I prefer my spirits - shaken, not stirred." "Well, he's the ghost of Christmas Absent now."

Familiarity? Caine's performance is, in fact, the only one of those listed that I can clearly recall having seen. I think I may have seen Stewart's at some point, but more just clips rather than the whole thing, and I'm sure I caught the odd Duck Tales episode here and there but I was never a fan.

Yeah, I'm seriously going to miss this show. Would love to see a Starbase 80 series.

A bioluminescent mutant reindeer seems less creepy than a possessed snowman.

How dare you use dragons in your game?

Yeah, Neel's new friend showing it to him and giving him a tutorial in activating it definitely makes it feel like Chekhov's Turbolaser.

Since nobody here is making such claims to my knowledge, such disambiguation seems unnecessary.

In the in-universe context, the old Republic is simply the Republic that existed in the prequel trilogy, as opposed to the New Republic of the show's current era. I think most people are using the term in that sense, not intending to refer to the out-of-universe nomenclature of the various...

It's curious, the reaction of the pirates on the station indicated that they thought it was extremely valuable too, so how come it's just pocket change on At Attin itself? Even if not intrinsically valuable in purely material terms, they might be well-known to be collectors' items, and valuable...

The hazard of watching the episode first thing after getting up, I missed a lot of detail in that opening scene.

For a 'destroyed' planet reduced to warring factions that don't concern themselves with other worlds, it's a little odd that the people on At Achrann still value Old Republic currency enough to sell a herd of cattle for a small portion of Wim's lunch money. I wonder whether the schools on At...
