    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

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

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

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

    Doctor Who (2020) - spoilers!

    Yeah, it looks like New Year's Day again, which is a bummer. A little Doctor in an isolated Christmas would be nice. The trailer looks solid. Chris Noth is a bit over-the-top, and I have some suspicions. I think it's been officially announced that Graham and Ryan will be leaving after this...

    Talk stats in the game rules sections then, this is about the story, not the stats/levels.

    Lovecraft Country: Final Thoughts and Discussion (spoilers)

    I liked it, but I think the last episode had no idea what it was supposed to be. Was it opening the story world, opening an extension of the current story, or wrapping up an enclosed story? I thought the final scene would be revealing an elder evil or something similar to open the story even...

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    They're both forms of threadcrapping, one's just more passive.

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    Yes, there is. It would be utterly stupid to try and force a narrated character in to a two-dimensional rule set. That would completely hamstring writing a good story. "Hey, what if we had _______ do this here?" "Sorry Joe, I don't think _______ could have any levels in (class) to have that...

    The latter, by far, which is one heck of an accomplishment.

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    Let me state this very simply: There wasn't supposed to be any conflict between them. He was looking for her to take custody of the child he's very fond of, and she's not too stupid to recognize a child of Yoda's race. You're asking for a bunch of needless crap to be added for some manufactured...

    Lovecraft Country (Spoilers for Episode 1)

    The final episode was pretty good. The Christina twist didn't surprise me, and JIn's move made sense. I thought there might be an elder evil reveal at the end to tie it all together, but they haven't seemingly broached that subject really at all yet.

    The Boys season two (spoilers)

    I think he's been dead already and brought back by Compound V, which is why he's a bit of a blunt instrument.

    The Boys season two (spoilers)

    Yeah, he's not simply a narcissistic sociopath and makes you wonder what would have happened if he had been raised by a Becca-type.

    The Boys season two (spoilers)

    Yeah, it was a bit unexpected how things played out, but fairly satisfying. My first thought with the eye was that it's not skin and, similar to the shields in Dune, there may be other factors at play. I also like how they gave Homelander some more human moments and emotions regarding Ryan.

    Lovecraft Country

    This has bee a pretty good series so far. Last Night's episode was creepy as all heck.

    The Boys season two (spoilers)

    I thought my head would feel like exploding after this episode, but my prognostication was a bit off.

    She Hulk on Disney+

    Damn, I find the Hulk characters thoroughly uninteresting (sans Ed Norton's Bruce) but with Maslany attached I'll likely find a way to check it out.

    The Boys season two (spoilers)

    A lot to unwrap. The suspicions of Stormfront were even more "on the nose" than expected with the revelation she was Vought's wife and the "first", though we also found a good part of that was dumb genetic luck. It was also interesting to see Shawn Ashmore juxtaposed with Aaron Stanford and...

    Doctor Who (2020) - spoilers!

    Yeah, I think we're pretty darned close for the most part, though I also wouldn't be surprised if they did a total left-turn either.

    Doctor Who (2020) - spoilers!

    While it wouldn't be the first time, more like a half-truth, which has a LOT of options.

    Doctor Who (2020) - spoilers!

    Maybe, maybe not. It could be the Master's attempt to manipulate The Doctor for some other purpose. He's ever the schemer (in most incarnations) with an almost hypnotic way of twisting others' beliefs and memories. There are so many ways they can go with this.
