It didn't start out like what I remember from the game, which is to be expected. it did setup Spartans and our guy 117 to be jerkholes. I don't recall that from the games, though there wasn't a lot of non-military interaction. It also reframed Captain Keyes to be a jerkhole willing to kill a...

Elnor! :eek::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I miss The Bilestoad. We'd gotten ahold of a stack of pirate game disks and had to figure out the controls, and that game had quite a few. keys to move shield in and out, more keys for axe and you'd try to chop the other player up, leaving blood and limbs on the island. I got pretty good at it.

had a IIe but swapped it for a laser128 because it was more compact. I'd gotten it as a legacy device to play my old game disks, so I wasn't for caring about the hardware itself.

It's been awhile since I booted up my Apple IIc clone.

What if the Queen is female Locutus? :)

I have a feeling this specific bit is about Patrick Stewart's past. His dad was abusive. There seemed to be a hint of the same in the flashback. I would guess that Picard staying single is a protective measure, in some ways to not risk himself doing that to someone he loves. That is likely...

yeah, that was a little odd. Like "hey, Borg. We have radios. Let's talk. What's the rush?" Why even the pretense? They clearly have a big ship with plenty of energy to transform into a bigger ship. Other than getting all the ships to show up, which pretty much happened when they came...

Finished season 1 rewatch last night (Elnor really needed a hug). and watched ep 1 last night. Season 1 oddities recap: if Oh sent the order for Rios' captain to shoot Jana and Flower, then she knew roughly where they were picked up (the Vayt sector). Why didn't they comb the region? Back to...

this is why I no longer find the Onion funny. Since 2015, most of its headlines were indistinguishable from actual events.

except that once you light up a light saber in public, you're gonna get called a Jedi or Sith. It's the Kleenex problem.

I think RangerWickett has an excellent remake of the last 3 movies with the same characters in a better plot. But getting back to the OT, I think the Sith are never quite wipeable because as long as Evil Force People appear, they'll be called Sith. It's that simple. The Jedi are a bit more...

well, yeah. I'm probably way less critical of stuff that's decent or doesn't miss the mark so badly. Mandolorean was great. Even if it also had problems. We expectations this would be more of the same. Then it came out. There are folks who loved the series. I'm not feeling it.

they kinda did that when Boba met them, but it was like one scene with a water monger and Boba hired them. Since then, they were happy to do his bidding. Maybe the writers thought that was enough.

are there no gas giants in this system? Space is big. Plenty of balls in the sky.

you may have hit it on the head. Boba's got no darn clue. I wanna be king. of crime. But I didn't actually watch any crime movies or think it through. Nor did the GM.

yeah, the whole thing seems dumb or flawed. If we were playing D&D (or starwars) as spice people, we'd land our ships from space where we needed the stuff delivered. It's no less or more obtrusive than weird trains and caravans taking the stuff overland. And if it's just a waypoint before...

How was Spice ruining the planet or lives anyway? Why did they have to bring it to the planet surface? They never really explained that, other than saying it was bad. What the heck is Spice besides a rip-off from Dune?

That was prolly one of the best episodes of the 5 actual Boba series. I still think handing over 2 full episodes to not-Boba chars was a bad idea. Would've been different if it was Fennec or the Gamorean Guards getting some back story or day in the life story. I also feel bad for the Gamorean...

yeah, I thought that was pretty obvious.
