Even though I had foreknowledge, a lot of these are my points, as well. So many important points were throw-away bits. 1. "Well, because they're our ancient enemy." (Don't worry, we'll throw in an unexplained plot here in a bit) 2. "We're here now." (Nothing about folding space and the...

Meh, they were always going to have issues ending it because all the whiny maggot fandumb factions who weren't going to be happy unless their fanfic ending was the show's. It became fashionable to pile on and while a couple of things may have felt rushed, it made sense in a Martin-esque way.

I'm looking forward to it. It will probably rock mightily, just to tease us with the crew exiting afterwards.

It was.......okay. The beginning has some issues, and the complete glossing over of the journey to Arakis or any interstellar travel was a bit jarring. Many of the things that may have been over explained in Lynch's version had none in this one. The Hunter Seeker was another. I know the shields...

Just finished the last couple episodes and it really hit its stride. I'm hoping they get some more run and it seems like Aldis Hodge loves it enough to keep making time for some appearances even with his busy schedule. In theory, they could even add a 'new person redemption arc' as a seasonal...

I'm in. Pattinson is growing on me and Kravitz is intriguing. It looks visually stunning, as well. I'm actually kind of burned out on the Marvel quippy schlock and am all for some gritty darkness.

Yeah, supposedly there are specials as well as this series so there should be nine or ten remaining episodes with her.

I've enjoyed it thus far, but have a few episodes left on the back half. The chemistry is pretty solid and even Noah Wylie fits pretty well. I like that they didn't have him "replace Nate" and instead gave him his own role.

The new trailer feels very "Stolen Earth" on steroids. I'd like to see Chibnall go out with a "bang".

Fights are/were much more dynamic, though and only took a long time when they were many rounds and people weren't paying attention, just like when spellcasters don't know which spells they're going to cast before their turn in any edition.

Too true.

I'm cautiously optimistic. While Peter Capaldi is now my favorite, even after a lackluster first series, there was a lot to like in RTD's first run. The parts I didn't were mainly Rose (in hindsight) and the tween romance schlock that surrounded her. Davies and Chibnall were similar, I feel, in...

The easiest way to keep them separate these days is by guitarists since both singers are pasty, aged Grecian Formula aficionados. Reeves Gabrels with The Cure looks like your car salesman uncle while often playing slightly quirky-looking Reverend axes while The Cult's British biker bartender...

This was where the series jumped the shark for me, specifically Futurama Ant Man. The next two episodes were utter garbage. What if....Ultron Won was somewhat better, but the finale has a LOT of ground to make up for all the drek thus far.

Something like that could work, as well. Here's my thought: a Halfling Fighter with a 20 Dex, light armor and trained in stealth should have almost no chance of failing a stealth check and two in a row should be nigh impossible to anything without some sort of super vision or perception themselves.

The fluff was no more or less part of the mechanics than any other edition, the main difference being it wasn't just casters that got to do cool things. Melee guys and archers got to be vibrant and dynamic, not support putzes. Defender classes got abilities to actually help them do their job...

Any skill check from which you are trained and have a maximized attribute (20) is rolled with Advantage.

I think I see what you're going for, but why must there always be tension? The episodes are part of an arc, not individual mini-movies, and aren't meant to be completely self contained, imo. When this episode was about character introductions/reveals and relationships, the fight was just a...

So a rulebook for a game is your reasoning for inserting game stats in to a show discussion?

So, edition wars then? And if you're inserting rpg stats in to a show discussion, it's threadcrapping.
