    Streaming Services: First 2023 POWER RANKINGS (And what's up with Prime?)

    I should have been more clear. I meant a streaming service that houses all of their content, like Disney+ or Paramount+. Sony licenses out their movies rather than put them up on a paid streaming service that they own. For example, Morbius is on Netflix.

    Streaming Services: First 2023 POWER RANKINGS (And what's up with Prime?)

    I ran across this article today. It's not exactly scientifically rigorous but they asked 1000 of their readers what streaming services they used and here were the results (I'm not really sure what is supposed to be in 4th place): Amazon 70.8% Netflix 61.5% Paramount+ 52.3% 48.4% Disney+ 43.5%...

    Streaming Services: First 2023 POWER RANKINGS (And what's up with Prime?)

    Now that many of the streaming services are realizing that they just can't spend tons of cash on content to boost subscriber numbers and profit matters I think it's only a matter of time before the number of services implodes. Personally, I can't wait. Look at the CW. From what I understand, as...

    Streaming Services: First 2023 POWER RANKINGS (And what's up with Prime?)

    I find it difficult to rate Prime against the other services because Prime isn't just streaming, you actually get a bunch of stuff with it (whether or not you use it). As long as people love quick shipping and just happen to get other services with it then the customers are more sticky. It's the...

    Science Fiction: Greatest TV Shows Part III

    I remember so wanting to like Dark Angel when it was first released and it just not grabbing me. Maybe I should give it a try again.

    Blue Beetle Trailer #1 (2023)

    I am looking forward to it although I probably won't see it in the theatre. I don't care so much that the DCEU is done, and possibly Beetle's future in the franchise, in favor of Gunn's DCU as long as the movie is entertaining. I still would have preferred a Ted Kord as Blue Beetle movie though.

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    Yeah, you are right. That's why, since you are a current viewer, I am willing to take your word for it. Unfortunately, I'm just not willing to invest the time in a series that I thought had 3 really bad seasons in the hope the final two may be better.

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    I would have said I agree with Morrus on this, but I haven't watched Discovery since the end of season 3. If things have changed since then that's nice to hear but unfortunately if the show couldn't win me over after three seasons I'm going to have to take your word for it.

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    I agree about Strange New Worlds, I think it's the best Star Trek since TOS. The lessons that P+ seems to have learned are why I am willing to give Starfleet Academy a chance even though my expectations aren't high. I will freely admit that P+ has shown my expectations to be wrong before...

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    Gen-X humor and references are the best kind of humor and references. And no, you can't ask how old I am. ;)

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    I agree 100%. Picard season 3 has been a joy, I think even those who disliked the first two seasons might enjoy it. Lower Decks is SO funny, I look forward to every new season. Prodigy has also been good, and occasionally pretty intense and dark for a kids show.

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    For what it's worth, I can't recommend Strange New Worlds highly enough. It's the best Star Trek since TOS, in my opinion.

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    Discovery. The first two seasons were pre-TOS era and then the ship travelled to the 32nd century for the last three seasons.

    TV show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starts Production in 2024

    I'm almost there with you. Discovery, in my opinion, is so awful (at least the first three seasons were, I gave up after that) that I have little desire to see anything related to it. That said, I will give it at least a few episodes to win me over but it's going to be a tough sell. On top of...

    Picard Season 3

    I just watched episode seven. I will say I have been enjoying the show, but I am getting tired of having to put blackout curtains on my windows, turn off all of my lights and turn the brightness on my TV up to even start to see the picture. It seems to be a trend in modern Trek (and other shows...

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    It looks like we are just going in circles so I will just address some of your reply. I specifically wasn't making generalizations. I spoke to my experience and even said that you and I had different ones. Since I wasn't making a generalization, I feel like I should be surprised if I am taken...

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    Once again, I have to disagree, but you are reinforcing the point I was making. Not everyone lived where you lived or shared your experiences. I know I didn't. I lived in a small town and was exposed to very few gamers and had no reason to think others were playing the game any differently than...

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    I'm not sure if you are responding to me since you didn't quote me, but that is kind of the point I was making. People assume the way they view the world is the norm and when justifying/defending that there is often a lot of over-generalization and lack of nuance. It seems to me that when people...

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    Just remember, some day you will be the old fart talking about the good old days of 5E (or whatever edition) and the people playing 9E will hate how you view your glory days playing the game. People tend to naturally assume that those around them view the world the same way they do. It's why a...
