It looks amazing and has some great actors, so I am pretty happy so far. I don't want or need an exact retelling of Asimov's novels. The strengths of them is arguably the sci-fi concepts he uses, and the show is definitely doing that.

Maybe the giant myth says that humans were Giants cursed to be small and weak, and the only way to remove the curse is to transfer it to another giant, which they can do by bite or spitting in your mouth. Or they have heard that humans in the grand cities have build white thrones on which they...

I guess that makes sense. The underdog hero just is a compelling story, and if the Jedi is an active, established order, it becomes harder to tell such stories, because the Jedi could always swoop in and save the day. And droids sidekicks have been a common thing in Star Wars, I think it's not...

I kinda like the idea of injuries taking longer than a day to heal, too, so in my 4E inpsired Star Wars game, I created the concept of wounds. When you get reduced to Bloodied or 0 hit points, you suffer a wound, that will have longer lasting penalties (some only "active" when you're bloodied)...

If you've used Maptools in the past, maybe keep at that. I have been using that for a while an are fairly familiar with the tool, though I don't really use all the features (like lights or fog of war based on tokens and stuff. I just block out the stuff the players aren't supposed to see until...

I can see that. I guess as a DM you had the option to turn the Fighter into a damage dealer - just have NPCs constantly ignore his mark, and get punished for it. But it kinda asks the DM to play suboptimally just to make a player happy. I guess I wouldn't be good at that. :) -- I am not...

As a small side trek (pun intended): One of the things that can be amazing if we look at "modern" (60s is modern?) technology is that even the most simple seeming things - like broadcasting a show that was already filmed, cut, edited and what not,t here is still yet another layer you didn't...

It are more shows, but not really more episodes. The old shows had 25+ episodes each season, the new ones are 12-13 episodes or so. I think the overall goal is to have basically weekly Star Trek. That is "catch-uppable", I think.

There are really fans of every series. ENT and VOY might be my least favorite, but I've read stories about people that loved VOY and what it did to their lives, and so I am fairly confident in saying that it's beloved (and so are all the others). Hehe, true. But I limited my remark to VOY...

Yes, they said that once, but did make course corrections at warp speed in other episodes. VOY is a beloved show, but it wasn't consistent.

I've read this before somewhere. Someone apparently didn't tell the DS9 and Prodigy artists about this. :)

The Star Trek Prodigy main title was recently released: https://intl.startrek.com/news/star-trek-prodigy-unveils-opening-title-sequence The main title didn't excite me at first, but it starts to grow on me. It also gives us another look at the ship (USS Protostar, NX-76884. The NX...

Just a quick thought I had, which already had from playing (and loving) D&D. We have an online MapTools game, and we have only 2.5h each session once a week (with lots of breaks because someone can't make it). Most of my players liked D&D 4 "combat as a sport" / tactical combat. But we also want...

That was very good show. I wish to see more adventures of Vesemir now. I also enjoyed that the trailer I remember an enjoyable way. It looked so much like Castlevania that I figured Vesemir and the sorceress, but his age... I don't actually remember reading it back then, but apparently he got...

I am not sure where to help you, I don't see your question? What do you want to figure out?

Definitely interested in this. I got 1 and a half year free Apple TV+ subscription that I let run out, but when Foundation comes out or latest when the new For All Mankind season begins I will probably resubscribe. Judging by the trailer and the responses to the trailer, a lot of fans will...

I am not sure that she isn't just going along for now because she can better interfere from the inside. But I dunno. I have practically no memories of He-Man, probably because it wasn't a show I would watch with any regularity. I expected the show to be a bit more about He-Man than it was...

Person of Interest was one of my favorite shows. I actually rewatched it a few times over the years, and noticed how the various seeds of the metaplot are strewn over the seasons. There were always new facets added that put things into more context. One of the small things I really liked is how...

The job of a soldier is not one that is healthy for body and mind, and while that doesn't mean crimes done by soldiers should go unpunished, the government has responsibility for their well being and needs to keep taking care of their mental and physical health. Of course, Walker probably is...

Which would be better, unless you need to some tax deduction or secure some film funding support from local states or countries.
