    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    Unearthed Arcana was a mixed bag for us. The new weapons, armor, magic items, and spells were largely well-received, but the new races and new classes were largely seen as overpowered. Additionally, Cavaliers and Barbarians had personality/role-play decisions baked into the classes (bad form!)...

    I think few if any Vulcans know the details of their Romulan kin. IIRC, the Romulans split during a chaotic and violent time in Vulcan history, and many historical records of the time are lost or incomplete. In this episode, Spock attributed La'An's violent tendencies to her augment DNA, so he...

    Hmmm... so maybe at the end of season finale, T'Pring steps out of the sonic shower, and Spock says "I had the strangest dream..."

    Yes I expect the Vezda to play into the finale.

    Whatever happened with that Sybok tease in season 1? And Captain Angel is still out there somewhere.

    Sorry for the confusion. The next musical episode and the puppet one are both in production for season 4.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I enjoyed this week's episode, but while I found it entertaining, I feel a bit shortchanged with season 3 leaning into the soap opera and comedy elements more than the solid episodic sci-fi that marked seasons 1 and 2. We are on the clock now, with only 18 episodes of the show left. And we have...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I think this was a case of conspiracy theory (M'Benga has let folks suffer/die in sickbay on orders from Starfleet, and/or there have been casualties in sickbay that Starfleet does not want you to know about) inadvertently stumbling over a truth (but for a different reason). I did not think that...

    I believe they are advancing one year per season, so SNW will end in 2264. Chekhov could show up as a cadet like Uhura did in season 1 in season 4 and/or 5.

    I also wonder about Kirk and the crew feeling remorse after finding the truth about the scavengers. I mean, what if they opened the helmet and it was a Gorn? Or a Klingon? Or some strange-looking alien lifeform never encountered before? The loss of 7,000 lifeforms is still a reason for remorse...

    I think Palpatine foresaw the Vong as a threat to himself and his power.

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    I never read the New Jedi Order books, but I heard that they touched on this a bit. The Yuuzhon Vong had a planet-sized weapon or something, and Palpatine had foreseen the need to have a weapon capable of taking out something like that. That it helped in his day job of running the galaxy through...

    DC Studios update

    Penguin was quite good. If you liked the bleak and gritty Gotham of The Batman, you will appreciate it.

    A New Hope Returns to Theaters in 2027 for 50th Anniversary Celebration

    You can see the deleted scenes on YouTube. The truth is those scenes with Luke at the start of the film would just make the story drag. IMO, it is better to view the deleted scenes separately.

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    This is very true, but @Retros_x has a solid point. The Empire may have a great number of supporters on a planet, and it would be illogical to destroy them along with Rebel elements (though totally on-brand). Additionally, planets have raw materials and resources which can be useful. Blowing up...

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

    No, I'm in the US. I can get Hulu, Disney+, or both. Right now I have Disney+, but I see Hulu as an option on the main Disney+ screen. I have been following the Hulu-Disney+ saga for years, wondering why they don't just consolidate into one service, but they still remain this strange...

    I think there is also a meta reason they could not send someone out to call the ship. The person attempting to leave (unless it was Chapel) would have been zapped and locked them in. They wanted to hold off on that reveal and not have some random red shirt get the axe.

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

    Agreed. Apple TV has built up so many good shows over the last few years. I would also add For All Mankind, Shrinking, Silo, and Sugar to your list. I don't get how this will change the current situation. Hulu is integrated into the Disney+ app on my Roku right now, even though I can sub to one...

    I believe @Prof_Dogg may be obliquely referring to The Lost Citadel (D&D 5E (2014) - The Lost Citadel: a new apocalyptic 5E setting from Green Ronin ).
