Maybe this is just Stark's arrogance at play? It's a stretch because he should know better but it's the best reason I can come up with.

The first time I recall really noticing this was during the TV show 24. Everyone on the show used a Sprint cell phone and, at the time, Sprint (my employer then) was a CDMA carrier and didn't use SIM cards but they were constantly referring to the phones SIM cards in the show. It was never...

I don't disagree and think such an explanation would have been out of place. I just thought that that the little references to where all of the bits and pieces of her costume came from were also silly, or at least didn't add much to the story.

And this all comes back to my problem, we have to make up reasons for stuff we don't see on screen to justify not turning the costume into the Solo: A Star Wars Tale of the MCU. (don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the show but this part was silly).

The problem with Agent Deever is she had all of the depth of a dried-up puddle. We went from the interesting Djinn to her rather quickly and her actions were easily predictable.

We also have no reason to think Carol was stuck in the Negative Zone. While they obviously switched places I doubt either is in the Negative Zone.

Stop making me feel old ;)

I have no problem that her mother created the costume but looking at it from her mother's perspective doesn't work. When was she aware that the red scarf came from the Red Daggers? Most of it, even if I grant you things like the broken necklace, come across to me as very contrived.

Kind of my point, the Red Daggers really added nothing to the show other than giving Kamala someone to run around Pakistan with. What's important to the comic doesn't necessarily translate well to TV, especially if not well done.

I've had TPKs but they are few and far between (years and years). If I have poorly designed an encounter then I'll do the things you mention but in general I just try and keep the encounters balanced. Most encounters, in my games, a should be challenging but not unfair to the characters and...

It really depends. In some games I talk more than the players and, in some games less. My group has some who like to role-play and are very talkative, some who are just there for the combat and one who is pretty new and learning the ropes. If it's a combat heavy game or session I talk more to...

For a show that I had low expectations for, I enjoyed it a lot. Iman Vellani was amazing. That said, I had issues. One of the things that turned me off from the initial trailer was that some of the cartoonish graphics popping up on screen really reminded me of a kids show but when I actually...

This has long been close to my opinion of Discovery; an entertaining enough sci-fi show, lousy Trek. They tried to turn things around in the second season but even by the end of the third season, when I stopped watching, it hadn't become good Star Trek. Season one gives us a needless redesign of...

I notice you use STN a lot for Strange New Worlds. Should I read that as ST for Star Trek and the N for New? I'm just curious how the abbreviation works. I usually use SNW. Just curious.

As I said in original post I didn't bother to verify the info and now that I have read the Memory Alpha article more closely I think I misinterpreted what the Reddit post was getting at. I don't think it was supporting how often Kirk violated the Prime Directive, I think it was how frequently it...

I fall on the side of Kirk not being a by-the-book kind of Captain. Not that he was a total maverick, but he was willing to do what he thought was right regardless of the rules. When the situation called for it I think he violated orders more frequently than other Captains. Based on this Memory...

This is one of my few gripes about SNW, more of a nitpick really. While I like the design of the ship, I think it's too big (I think I mentioned this already upthread), at least it's interior based on the size of the bridge and other rooms we have seen. From the exterior I really like the redesign.

Snarf's game so Snarf's rules, no animated series but I think that does an injustice to some great entries into the franchise. 1. TOS. I agree with Snarf here, the first season had very few stumbles with some great writers. Yeah, they were still figuring things out so there wasn't a lot of...

I didn't see that coming, at least not him being killed so easily. In the comics he was a clone of Homelander so I expected him to be tougher.

I recently started brewing and I'm enjoying it. I made an IPA which turned out ok, I'm currently drinking my second batch, an American Pale which turned out pretty good. My next, which I will probably start this weekend, will be a Red. I'm currently using kits since it seems like an easier way...
