Or, as other sources say, they didn't want Gene as producer getting a reolatively unknown actress that happened to be his mistress such an important role - but it seems they also 'conveniently' solved that by requesting a male first officer., Basically, the entire episode explains that Holodeck...

Ah, this Esmeralda Weatherwax is a remarkable woman...

So Jason Stackhouse and Number 6 fighting side-by-side against dinosaurs. If it were the same franchise, this looks a bit like what Alien 2 was, but for Jurassic Park. But some of the dinosaurs walking at the beach/shore didn't look quite convincing to me.

Not sure I feel Warframe to be well modeled by a Pathfinder/Starfinder game, but Warframe was a bit of a positive surprise when I recently started it, so it might still be worth checking out. Intersting gameplay and the story is really unique. Though I kinda like the idea of using Warframe...

I believe the explanation is probably the kind of production issues that surrounded the issue and no good story-telling reason. My best guess - Section 31 was involved because they were interested in the project and Lorca requested Burnham, and they were the right people to manipulate the...

Well, it's still somewhat uncertain, but of course using John DeLancie is strong. However, the computer voice on Star Trek is done by Majel Barret, who also played Christine Chapel and Number One, that doesn't mean they are the same person or entity, either. And if you want to put a twist on it...

An interesting aspect of seat belt laws is also: It forces every car manufacturer to have them. If it wasn't a law that you needed them, maybe it would only be available as a premium package. Of course, the seat belts make every car more expensive, but when it's just an option, it can change the...

It matters more what people perceive it as - if they think it's reasonable, good advice most of the time, but it isn't, that's a problem. And a knife would probably absolutely be forbidden if people got killed or hurt by them commonly because they accidentally use them wrong and end up not...

It's been too long to really give strong advice. But after having played and GMed 4E a lot, some ideas: Just use the monster and NPC building rules as guidelines. Do definitely not try to map out the entire spell list of an NPC spellcaster. Pick maybe 2-4 spells - one he can use as his standard...

After seeing the James Bond car chase video: That is something I like in all my "car era" action movies, but I particularly like the ones with narrow (European) roads and/or serpetines. Obstacles to avoid, fruit stands to crash into, jumps over obstacles, short cuts to take...

Indeed. Predications are hard, especially if they pertain to the future. And predictions in media seem particularly hard. I mean, who needs Andor, a prequel about a secondary character in a prequel that answered questions that didn't need to be answered? There goes too much into the success...

I don't think young Kira was ever be in a position - mentally or ... strategically? - that Luthen Rael's speech would fit her. She wasn't a spy-master building a Rebel network, she's more like Andor. She didn't have issues with killing collaborators, but I am not sure she would even be as quick as

Shadowrun 3rd Edition (3.01D the German version was called, IIRC). I barely have memories of the circumstances of when and where I got it, but I knew Shadowrun from the novels and learned that some other teenagers in my high school were playing it. I joined them together with a few other...

But I think it's really the other way around - they made a really good design that worked from many angles, starting with the classic look, removing anything that makes it look dated, and giving it a really futuristic/advanced look. Of course, the TOS Constitution also was a lot like that, it...

The Constitution refit or "movie Constitution" is probably the best and uniquely Trek looking, but I still love the Galaxy. It's a neat space whale hotel. The Discovery/Strange New Worlds version is also a pretty good design. I think the Ambassador is the one I like the least, but it works...

DS9 really not only let us know the charactesr, but also the people and the place(s). Every other world is usually just a planet-of-the-week with aliens-with-bumps-on-their-forheads. Andor managed to give two previously practically or actually unknown Star Wars planet a real authentic feel of a...

Maybe I read it here and forgot, but some details that I didn't fully understand when I watched it and only in hindsight was the bombing scene flashback. Luthen hands her the trigger, and she acts as if she's going to press - but then takes it away, making the audience and Kleya think that...

I just don't feel that quite describes the situation. It's not Kleya that is "on the ground", we never see her outside of Coruscant until Chandrilla. She is the one that's getting intel from the people "on the ground", and relays it to Luthen, who is himself also "on the ground" all over the...

I don't really follow that his monologue suggests anything about him that is contradicted by the backstory. His monologue isn't about given up on something he had in the past. It's about giving up on something for his life, something he would never have, whether he had it before or not. This...

He's definitely not "just the front man". Kleya learned everything about the trade from him. But she is taking over from him. There are several occassions where they mention that it's getting too complex, that Luthen is slipping. He's getting old, but Kleya is still young, and now she has...
