Any chance you can make those bigger? They're too small for me to read.

I can't watch it either.

Yeah. It seems like that's part of the joke! A moment I really loved in one of last night's episodes was when Sisko went looking for Jake, who hadn't obeyed him about being back in time for dinner. When Sisko found Jake with Nog in a cargo bay, he discovered that Jake was teaching Nog how to...

That was such a well-written scene! Syril first got involved with all this Imperial stuff because of Cassian's murders, and then he was there on Ghorman ostensibly looking for "outside agitators" ... he then learns that the Empire has engineered the whole thing and is in the midst of a crisis of...

As I already said above, I'm fine with there being 1920s-ish elements in the setting ... but I feel like some people are aruging that it's the only and/or main time period that inspired the setting. It's not. There are many inspirations. As pointed out above, the Last War in Keith's mind is a...

I note that in one of the episodes I just watched yesterday, Quark tells Odo that Morn told him something … so the character can speak, even if he never speaks on screen. 😝

Honestly, I’m finding “The Nagus” to be more painful to watch than “Move Along Home”. I love Wallace Shawn in The Princess Bride, but his whiny voice and high-pitched tittering in this episode are truly grating!

I’ll have to look again. You still haven’t said where, though. It certainly used to be more medieval than it is now, and I for one wish it would go back in that direction rather than continue to become more modern.

Where? Neither the OG 3.5e ECS nor Rising mention WW1 by name that I can find. In its "Tone of Eberron" section, the ECS even states that Eberron "combines traditional medieval fantasy with pulp action and dark adventure."

Exactly. The name “The Last War” invokes “The War to End All Wars” epithet, but the details are more from the Hundred Years’ War, which as you say was more about royal succession and ran for a long time, and it had periods of hot and cold just like the Last War too.

I have never bought the "post-World War I" argument. Yes, there are some 1920s-ish elements, but there are huge influences from other eras too. The Last War has more in common with the Hundred Years' War than WW1, for instance. And as I said above, Eberron is not post-industrial revolution. It...

Eberron isn’t steampunk or clockpunk, though. If anything, It’s “magipunk”. The trains aren’t steam-powered – they use magically bound elementals. The airships aren’t dirigibles – they use magic wood and magically bound elementals. Warforged aren’t robots – they’re magically created beings...

Yeah. I'm just wondering why people upthread were saying it was the worst ever episode etc.

That was because of the backlash they got from angry playtesters! When I emailed Bill Benham my opinion of it, he responded with “We’ll always have the memories.” 😡

What is so bad about “Move Along Home”? I watched it last night and it didn’t seem any worse than any of the preceding episodes. A bit cheesy / cringey in parts but not that’s been par for the course so far, and I wouldn’t classify it as bad.

S1 E8: “The Passenger” Dr Bashir states that “a humanoid only uses a small portion of its brain”. Surely science had disproved that myth in the 90s! LOL.

Yes, and it was in the Clone Wars before that. The tip of a mountain is all that remains of Coruscant’s original natural terrain. The rest of it has been flattened or buried under tons of metal. Coruscant’s inspiration, Trantor, also has one single bit of natural terrain (the emperor’s palace...

I was thinking about this movie some more this morning, and while I think it does a good job addressing mental health overall, there’s one thing I think it gets wrong. When Yelena goes to visit Alexei, he is watching an old TV clip of himself being cheered during a parade. He later admits to...

Apropos of nothing, I quite liked the Andors' home on Yavin 4. It did feel a little out of place as part of the rebel base, but it was nice and roomy. Probably gets a nice breeze, which is important in the jungle.

Finally got to see this movie today. Fantastic film! I agree with everyone’s comments about its handling of mental health. I liken my depression to a black hole, entropy, a void. So that really resonated with me. I teared up when the group all came together to hug Bob and let him know he wasn’t...
