The abandoned warehouse firefight scene is amazingly inventive. Anyone complaining about the "slowness" needs to watch episode 3.

I am quite pleased by the refreshing lack of troopers, Jedi, and lightsabers.

Watching it now. It's dark, bleak, and cynical. And I'm here for all of it.

It's a combination of the two. If someone has a bad connection, that will slow everything down. If someone's browser doesn't render fast enough, that will slow everything down. And then you superimpose that on server load which, as you can imagine, is highest on the weekends. I don't have a lot...

I think that their VTT will be a boon to both nVidia and AMD. Because it looks like it will melt graphics cards. Seriously, I think it will piss people off. I run Roll20. And it runs decently enough on my PC (with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700 and a trusty GTX 1070) but its limited by the power of the...

If I were NuTSR, not only would I be worried about getting sued by WOTC & Hasbro, I would be even more worried about Varg Vikernes coming after me for alleged IP theft. Seriously, Star Frontiers should just change its name to "YIKES!"

Just finished watching Season 4. First of all, talk about a loving tribute to 80's slasher horror... Strong Nightmare On Elm Street 4: Dream Warriors vibes. Not a ripoff but a definite homage. And I was definitely here for it. Storywise, it was all lore, all the time and, again, that's what...

Just started watching this week and am almost done with Season 1. Honestly, this is pretty perfect science fiction. The alternate history is really enjoyable as they appear to have taken a somewhat grounded tack. Some of the plotlines are a bit over-the-top (Deke Slayton puts himself onto...

The police have ranks and uniforms but are not military (their armament aside). They are a civilian force. The purpose of the military is to make war, not to explore. If Starfleet was military, then the open would have far more Terran tone to it. - From Star Trek Continues (which I freely...

There is plenty of in-universe and behind-the-scenes evidence that Starfleet is NOT military. Stack Exchange offers an excellent answer to this question. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/54154/is-starfleet-a-military-or-civilian-organization

It's not a naval vessel. Starfleet is not a military organization.

I wasn't all that fond of ST: Disco. Mainly because I found the second season storyline to be absurd. SNW, on the other hand, well I'm all about this show. The blend of humor, wide-eyed adventure, and optimism is refreshing. As is the return to an episodic format. Also, I'm all in for Captain...

I just meant that it can be hard finding people to volunteer. At our temple, there's a 3rd Vice President, a 2nd VP, a 1st VP, a President, an Immediate Past President, and a Past President. Each one leads to the next. So agreeing to be 3rd Vice President is actually agreeing to a 12 year...

I loved how simply unapologetically Muslim the episode was. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed an episode devoted to her home, school, temple life balance.

I didn't know that Muslims too have ritual washing but that doesn't surprise me in the least. Judaism also has ritual washing and, given that Judaism and Islam both hold so many of the same commandments and prohibitions, it's quite understandable. I'd be more surprised if there wasn't a Board...

Retconning and invalidating central premises of other SW properties seems to be this show's modus operandi.

Leia is basically Kim Bauer (from 24) and Liam Neeson's daughter in that she has been kidnapped multiple times and needs to be rescued by the same special agent guy again and again.

Lizardfolk overthrow their bullywug oppressors

I'm still not convinced. She records the message as her ship is being taken. She's in a rush. So to convince him to help her, she says "you helped my father 20 years ago" and not "I'm the little girl whose life you saved." I'm not buying it. Also, Obi Wan is a jerk to his eopie. When we...
