Hooray!

It might be just the kind of internal department jealosy and jurisdictional conflicts you might expect from a totalitarian bureaucracy where everyone fears that he's the next on the chopping black and needs some ace in a hole. The kind fo shenengians Dedra was dealing with, when the officer...

I guess I understand why you would write this. And that sound of prison doors closing over a view on the Imperial Standards cubicles...

That was a really nice season finale. Actually, in show canon, it seems that's how Elven dams seem to work. Or at least I presume the dam that opened with that little Sauron artefact and created Mordor's gloomy atmopshere was of Elven design. ;) Bear McCreary is at it again. So far I think I...

I don't know that Vel will never trust him. He only took the share he was owed (which is nothing compared to the money they stole). He did pretty much do exaclty what he was paid for, and probably saved her from being shot in the back by Skeen. (And she probably will believe the latter more...

Maybe particularly because he doesn't let go and he doesn't stop himself, at least not until he (and we as audience) has some catharisis. Jen still hasn't hadn't reach that catharsis moment. She stops herself before she can get there. Or at least the episode stops...

Les Miserables. That was exactly what I was thinking about. Even though I only saw the first half of the movie musical and otherwise only have the cliff notes from For the Uniform's conflict between Sisko and Eddington (DS9). I mean, Andor did certainly do more than steal bread, but Corporate...

That was a good episode. Lots of twists and turns. Of course, also extremely furtious timing... But that's definitely LotR stuff, I'd say.

That means: He was most likely in a fight recently and didn't immediately seek treatment for a blaster wound. He escaped that fight and got where they are without being pursued When he recieves treatment without pain medication he barely responds and doesn't complain He is together with a...

I am reminded a bit of the Star Trek episode whose name I forgot about a civlization of children. There was a disease that killed off all the adults. Maybe the mining accident lead to something similar. The people from the crashed ship didn't look like they all died in the crash, the ones that...

I can't help but smile and yet feel for poor Ortega's cruel fate...

The earliest time I experienced this was when one of the The Three Investigators (very popular in German as "Die Drei Fragezeichen???") contained an illustration of the characters that didn't mesh at all with how I envisioned them. Mind you, I also have the habit of glossing over detailed...

It is a quite unique thing. There are not many people that lived a life as long as she did, and it sad to hear them pass, because of all the things the experienced will be lost, and only the memories of those that knew the person (and are still alive) remain. She was the Queen of a large nation...

I mostly enjoyed this season, though I feel the ending was weak, because it seemed like it reduced the importance of some of the story during the season itself. Though it definitely sets up a "final" season.

I think he did, but the projectile he shoots first flies in a straight line, and only retargets in case they miss. So the only thing he loses without the helmet is the ability to retarget them - and he didn't expect any of his prey to use his helmet to target him, the standard case is just that...

I kinda expected this to be a twist - she decides to go back, takes her toys with her, and hands them out to her people, and sees how everything goes bad. And then, when the quantum core bombs hit the city, the simulation ends, and Kelly explains that they knew what she was doing and decided to...

Just finished the existing episodes. I really enjoyed the show (hence already being finished). As mentioned, I am not familiar with the source material, but with all the visuals I've seen, I totally believe that this was based on a graphic novel. I enjoyed how the story unfolded, it wasn't...

The way I see it, the setting of the Rebellion era before the Death Star is just a good place to tell stories. Not because there is something particular about that era that needs to be "clarified" or anything - just because fighting an oppressive regime is a neat thing to show. I don't know if...

But Lance had Millenium, the X-Files spinoff! And didn't he fly Blue Thunder? Oh, wait, that was Roy Schneider. Peter Weller had a decent one-time role in Fringe. Maybe I have to go in favor of Peter Weller, though Lance Henriksen is more present in my mind.

Almost certainly Matrix. Followed by First Contact. Those were the films at the end of my teenage years that hit all the right spots for me. And I still had the time. Matrix is one of the few movies that I saw multiple times. Once regularly, once in a double feature with the sequel, and another...
