Tried the show. It felt a little awkward. I think part of the issue is the absence of any party dynamics. We're introduced to the characters in little separate episodes, but that's funky being very tell not show. We don't see the character introduced in the story but by someone saying their...

Probably for a bit. It's frustrating that they're doing a Star Trek series but seem wholly uninterested in actually making it a Star Trek series. It feels like advertising a television show as a World War 2 series and then redesigning all the Allied Forces and German uniforms, completely...

The quotation marks around "fans" and implying that we're not fans because we like continuity is an unnecessarily provocative statement. That's just a gauntlet throw down. Why not just insult my mother while you're at it?

Catching up. Just watched Red Angel. Some good moments. Nice scenes. Spock had some great lines. But HOLY EFF were there some plot holes. The big one was the idea that they needed to keep Burnham filled in so they could trap her future self. Ummm. No. It's the opposite. It's her from the...

I'll take your word for it... No sillier than "Jedi". It just feels silly because it's unfamiliar. I was exaggerating with the "100,000 years" line. But it was 25,000 years. With thousands of years of warfare throughout the first ten millennium of the Republic's lifetime. It's a ridiculously...

I’ll probably check out the PDF for review purposes and will cross my fingers that the game is something I want to play. It would have been doable to tweak the rules between the playtest. Removing magic items from the math is a big one. Letting magic items be a bonus. As would pulling back...

I like the idea of something else taking over. RotJ was neat, and them returning was cool when they were this mythical unknown. But the prequels really showed the flaws of the Jedi Order. Their failures led to the rise of the empire and the deaths of untold trillions. Luke just going out and...

Okay, the text on the next episode sez: The Orville Season 2 Episode 14: "The Road Not Taken" The crew must contend with the disastrous fallout from Kelly's decision. (air date: April 25, 2019)

We don’t know.... It is telling that the ship faded to white without seeing what happened when she went back. So the next episode could be status quo everything normal. Or it could be an alternate timeline where Ed and Kelly never married.

Still haven’t gotten back in. But heard about the finale. So... the Discovery is 900 years in the future? Do you think they’ll get background their “present”? Or do you think it’s an excuse to move the series to an undetailed era so they no longer need to worry about canon?

Not really... Rewatching the “best of” DS9 right now. Based on this site’s recommendations: https://medium.com/maxistentialism-blog/star-trek-deep-space-nine-in-82-5-hours-10acde591fd2 In the 23 combined episodes of season 1 and 2, said characters get more time and attention than almost any...

Way back on Day One I said: I was wrong about the surge following the shows, but I was really close with the final guess.

No. She takes her long hair and ties locks from either side of her face together under her chin. And then draws on a moustache.

Rian Johnson is off doing his own trilogy. I imagine it will be largely unrelated. I don’t disagree. And if it was just the mask I wouldn’t mind. But they didn’t even let Rey customize her lightsaber... She should totally have a staff/sabre hybrid. Like a glaive. I think they will, just so...

Look at the responses to this tweet: https://twitter.com/wizards_dnd/status/1097904200401354752 People don't want an apology. They want him investigated. They want him fired. They're not going to be satisfied with him making a statement of contrition. He's better off keeping his head down and...

They ARE D&D players. https://www.girlsgutsgloryrpg.com/ They're just cosplayers who like dressing up when they do it.

I don't disagree. And I was one of the people shouting and @-ing Mearls to actually apologize. Which I regret now, as that contributed to him leaving Twitter (and likely dropping from the Heroes of the Vale game), retreating from the community. Which isn't good for the game. We were spoiled by...

I was brigaded on Twitter once. It made me suicidal and drive me from gaming for months. Other people have killed themselves over online bullying. Hopefully he’ll be fine. But it is a serious issue.

You're misremembering. The community only pointed out the asshats AFTER 5e was published. It was because of the credits that the community members contacted Mearls. It was noticed after the Basic Rules were published, but this was well after the PHB would have been sent to the printers. Yes...

No. That's why I was disappointed he was back as director. But I was hopeful he'd try harder and bring his A-game. Instead… Rey rebuilds the destroyed lightsaber exactly like it was. And Kylo is back in his lame performance-hiding helmet. And we're returning to a planet we've seen before. Or...
