My big takeaway from the first season is maybe the Karachi stuff would have worked better in the second season. The two opening episodes did such a great job establishing Kamala in Jersey City; putting a character in a place like all good fiction is supposed to do (well, most), bringing both to...

Nigh infinite. (my character is the setting since I’m running our 5e campaign) I think the median CON among the PCs is 14.

AD&D and earlier. Wait, make that 2e and earlier, since it's so mechanically similar and a lot of the setting material 2e was known for has their roots in 1e.

All of the above. Huh. In my defense HBOMax, Prime, and Peacock are technically perks from other services and Hulu/Disney is a bundle. And Apple TV was free for a year after I bought a new MacBook. Then I forgot to cancel. And then Severance was amazing, and For All Mankind was back for season...

Season 2 just finished shooting! S01E10 was a strong end to a strong first season. Damnit Jim, they did it. They figured out the tone, cast and writing for an updated TOS for the 21st century. Sure, it’s not as groundbreaking as the original, which helped bring science fiction for adults to the...

What you do is political. What I do is normal. This drives me crazy, too.

They’re halflings into magic or machines.

Got the artifact. Now what? (It‘s The Graduate as D&D)

No worries! It’s all fun and games… until someone publishes a white supremacist reboot of Star Frontiers. Well, threatens to publish.

Interesting. Did M’Benga catch him in the transporter? I’m trying to recall where the doc was in that scene. Wait, you said the character’s gone. What other shows are planned for that era?

I’m pretty sure I was being sarcastic. That’s why I used the awkward phrase ‘thinking disabilities’ and mentioned waivers. Damn, tone is hard online!

Good point!

Damn, I liked that character… also, this is going to go down as the best first season of Star Trek after S01 of the original, isn’t it?

Taunting people with thinking disabilities is usually wrong… but in this case I think we can make an exception, or at least grant a waiver.

“We want to apologize to the LGBTQ community for using homophobic rightwing propaganda images from Eastern Europe, maybe, to promote our virtually nonexistent gaming business in the US, which, admittedly was a weird flex on our part.” Our branch of the Free Library hosts a Drag Queen Story...

Have you seen The Big Sick? He’s fantastic in that film. Granted he is playing a character based on himself. But if that was easy… ummm… everyone would be more compelling!

I was partially kidding. I thought someone would reply "Charles Xavier was no prize himself!". Child endangerment is practically his brand. Seriously, though, I think people swinging between good and bad in comic book stories is fundamentally a positive thing (exaggerated as it must be, given...

Doesn't Charles give his school to Magneto when goes off with his space girlfriend (into space)? Doesn't the White Queen end up running it for a while? Isn't this kinda par for the course with Marvel?

Caught up last night. Yeah... not sure what I can say about "Gently Falling Rain" here other than it was a very strong episode, Krill looked great, and... ummm... it was nice to hear President Sheridan's voice on TV again. Another fine example of how subtlety and science fiction do not mix...

Oh no! Are they ruining a show inspired by Star Trek with politics? Note: sarcasm. Lots of it. Haven’t seen the latest one yet. Maybe tonight, with a nice rye cocktail…
