    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    There's a whole episode of "The Outer Limits" based on that concept. "The equation must be balanced."

    The problem comes when people, who know the character as physically intimidating, see a small man in that role. I wouldn't exactly call Cruise physically intimidating, in appearance. It's kind of a core part of the character, for readers. EDIT - For context I'm a whole 2" taller than Cruise...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sounds like the sort of player who always wants the spotlight to be on them, rather than sharing it with the group. i find that sort of player to be impossible to please and rarely worth the trouble.

    Fans of the books were really annoyed that they picked 5'7" Tom Cruise to play a character that's supposed to be a genius level 6'5", 250 pound meat wall. Alan Ritchson, in the streaming series, is a much better fit.

    Spoilers Wednesday S2

    I would have been more than happy for a John Astin style Gomez, as that's what I grew up with. Luis Guzman just doesn't hit the notes for me. I'm thinking that the crows will have something to do with Ophelia, as they name drop her in every second scene.

    Or, and stick with me here for a moment, they're simply stating their personal perspective on the thing.

    Another blatant case of a property being sacrificed on the altar of making it a vehicle for a star. Stallone's "Judge Dredd" was another.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That's not every RPG? What about the dozens of characters that I've made for every RPG that I've ever played, but never got to play in the game?! I'm doing it wrong...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    I'll be watching at least the first two episodes, starting in just a few minutes. The first 4 dropped today.

    I made it through the first two and then never watched the third. Same with "The Hobbit."

    That would pretty much harmonize it with D+ Canada.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    I think we're generally talking more about obit than orbit.

    I think that some source material is just better suited to being either campy, or serious. Some can go either way equally well. I think that Conan needs a certain degree of camp for it to be the most true to its source. Robocop? Serious just doesn't work for it, as the source is meant to be a...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    DS9 managed to make the pining of a puddle of goo for a reformed terrorist into compelling TV. That's damned amazing.

    WAR OF THE WORLDS Trailer

    Just the trailers have left me cold. Hearing that it's "Work from home alien invasion" just cements that.
