Haven't read the books, but yeah ... when the media made a big deal about how GRRM had agreed to let D&D make the show because they'd correctly guessed Jon's parentage, that was basically GRRM confirming what everyone already knew. Had to Google it, as I thought it was later than that, but...

I know that within the context of the story, he was a hidden prince, but from the viewer's perspective, he spent the entire show with a neon sign above his head declaring him to be the secret Chosen One. It was glaringly obvious right from the get-go that the bastard wasn't really a bastard ...

Wow. That's ... interesting. Especially given how DL's gods, even the good ones, are essentially jerks who nuke their own people as punishment for not being faithful enough. And I've always found the whole "We didn't abandon you; you abandoned us!" line to be disingenuous. I mean, the gods had...

As mentioned above, I think all of these options would be worse than simply having her be a whitewashed Native American. They would all make her even more of a white savior than she already is.

I just can’t see WotC keeping them as is no matter how Weis feels about them. That is arguably much worse. Better to either strip any Native American references from the Plainsmen or reimagine Goldmoon as not being Aryan. I suppose you could say she’s special because she was born with golden...

“To the Death” was interesting. “The Quickening” was sad. “Body Parts” is weird.

The last Pizza Hut restaurant in NZ closed back in 2016. Now we've just got the takeaway shops.

Yeah, it felt like they were going to be a big deal, but then they quickly faded into the background. I think the previous episode involving them was the one where Riker’s transporter twin tried to steal the Defiant.

“For the Cause”: Hey, look! The Maquis are back! Haven’t heard from them in a while. This was a solid episode.

As usual, Viva La Dirt League have a video about that ...

OK. That one does look good, but it's out of my price range! I'll have to add it to my wishlist and wait for it to be on sale. Yeah. It's sad. I've never liked multiplayer-focused games. I've had some fun with SW: Battlefront II, but I mostly only played co-op. I don't like online PvP games...

I’ve been watching WW2 stuff with my girls lately – Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Memphis Belle … that’s given me a hankering to play a WW2 FPS. The only one I’ve got is Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, which is more than 20 years old now. Are there any good modern WW2 FPS single...

Yeah, that battle scene was great. Moving on, “The Muse” was … strange. Lwaxana being pregnant was weird, Odo marrying her in a sham marriage was weird, and that psychic vampire woman sucking out Jake’s life force was more than a little creepy in various ways.

Oh yeah! I forgot. And it wasn't that long ago that I watched that one. Whoops!

If you can still count 20+ years as "new". :P

"Shattered Mirror" was another good (if at times sad) mirror universe episode, but I can't help wondering why they didn't bring O'Brien over with Sisko. I bet the two of them together would've been able to get the mirror Defiant up and running faster. I would love to see the two versions of...

I've never listened to anything by KBW. I was thinking more along the lines of how you can hear swearing (except the F word) on live TV here, and malls and shops play the original versions of songs with swears, not the radio friendly edits, and so on.

You're not kidding! I was really taken aback by that when I first moved here and am still occasionally surprised by it.

That's a reference to kangaroos, not baby boomers, in case anyone is wondering.

It's been a looooong time since I went to (or watched on TV) the Christmas in the Park show. My kids are growing up! Are you based in NZ?
