For me, it's like the USS Enterprise crew complement disparity in SNW. I'm hoping the showmakers are aware of these discrepancies and have plans to explain them. I'm happy to assume that is the case for now.

That's certainly a hypothesis similar to mine. It's also certainly not a fact in the show or movies though. The alternative hypothesis is, of course, continuity issues. Which is probably equally likely.

Yeah, I was a bit confused by that. If it's literally just that she can hear that frequency and humans (and the other synthetics) can't, presumably another machine could. Unless it is weird robot telepathy, in which case, what do frequencies and audio circuits have to do with anything?

No we don't get those in the UK either.

So one thing we've been wondering is that if these synthetics are superpowered beings who can defeat a xenomorph in one-on-one combat, why didn't Bishop help out a bit more? Also, I guess, see David and Walter, both also superpowered. My current theory is these are expensive synthetics, and Ash...

I don't think there is any suggestion that it isn't a Discovery sequel?

Oh I’d forgotten about the puppets. With two left I had predicted an Ortega-heavy drama followed by an action cliffhanger finale. With the puppet episode still to come though, that prediction isn’t correct. I guess that must be next week as they wouldn’t end the season on puppets.

Ah, there we go. Odo got himself a mace for the Battle of Hastings.

Probably exercise your scroll wheel, then. Just by an inch or so. It’s literally the next post after the one you’re quoting. ;)

Thinking about it, it just occurred to me… a better analogy than Robin Hood is Braveheart.

It’s lower magic—no fireballs or teleporting, druids rather than wizards. And fewer fantastical monsters (but there are some). It’s kinda like a low-magic D&D where everybody is human.

I haven’t seen him wield anything yet! He’s not exactly portrayed as the combat type. But he needs to be there so he can go back to Bayeux and make a certain tapestry.

It’s really nothing like a documentary. Like I said, think watching a (gritty Games of Thrones-esque) Robin Hood show.

King & Conquerer (new BBC show about Harold and William the Conquerer) is really good. Don’t think of it as a historical piece—it’s more in the vein of watching one of the Robin Hood things, maybe a bit more historical, but not a lot. Some people have complained about historical inaccuracies...

Gross.

No, it's not even vaguely steampunk by any definition of the genre I've come across. It's not really anything other than "D&D', frankly. It's its own genre, and has been for a long time. If I had to pick something I guess I'd say American Ren Faire.

It would. Fortunately nobody has done that.

Is 'slapped' good or bad?

I've edited out the [+] thread, as it serves no purpose here. "Let's not fight about it" is just SOP.
