    Witcher change up?

    If we think of the "normal" tv show, if a show establishes a main protagonist that the show revolves around, and then you shift to now follow a different character, it can be jarring for people. Doesn't matter if its true to previous media, people get used to a certain thing and often don't like...

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    yeah to me its always about internal consistency. If the universe is consistent to itself, or characters are consistent to themselves, than that's fine. Alien has created a universe where workers have horrific safety standards compared to our modern day. Its more like early industrial era where...

    Spoilers Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    having not read the books, I figured Magnifico would betry them in some way, but did not think he would actually be the mule. Hehe I thought the mule was the mule!

    Life in its infinite complexity is beautiful....and horrible. For at its core, the purpose of most life remains....the consumption of other life.

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

    So the finale basically felt like the rest of the season as a whole. A fun premise, enjoyable characters enjoying the moment....but extremely rushed, with a plot moving at warp speed, that takes no time to consider any sensible alternatives, and just goes "well its clearly this....so that's...

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    people are having children a lot later than they used to. If we assume the Kents were 30 when they got Clark (which again for today's era is not super late to start a family). Clark is ~30 in the movie based on tweets by James Gunn. So the Kents are 60 years old...yep decently old. Even if you...

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    Another fun episode, man I felt the creep factor when tootles went for the cage. So a lot of the Alien franchise does run on incompetence which has been established in previous movies, but with the kids it adds a degree of believability. One moment the kids are able to make adult decisions and...

    Time travel doesn't exist because time travel wiped out the timelines where it did

    Which is also a somewhat faulty logic. The paper assumes that because a machine can have its lifetime extended from 10 to 20 years, its inevitable to extend it to 1000 years or infinite timespans. But with every incremental step your faced with newer more complex problems, and you hit limits...

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

    Sure but that model existed long before streaming. I could always wait to watch a movie on dvd or on tv rather than see it in theaters for less money…as long as you were willing to wait. The drive to see it “now” brought people to the theatre, and the same desire will keeping people watching...

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

    yeah its why streamers are moving away from the binge model (netflix is slowly doing it by separating shows into parts, but I promise they will continue to move towards the episodic format). In a world where I can just pay for a small time and cram everything in, people are going to do that...

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    and you definately should count it twice. Honestly this movie made Lois' reporter skills more important than any other superman movie to me. In a world filled with misinformation, the power of a real truth seeking journalist is magnified 10 fold.

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

    Honestly the only Kirk insertion that has seemed forced was him being on the holodeck for the murder mystery. Now it was a cool episode I didn't mind it, but yeah of all the people the enterprise has transporter records of they just happen to pick Kirk....a bit on the nose. But the idea that...

    Spoilers Wednesday S2

    The classmates don't really think of Wednesday as special because of her precognition. Its the way she gets **** done and takes 0 fs from anyone. That kind of confidence is going to attract followers and respect from others.

    Spoilers Wednesday S2

    Its a cool routine, especially with the invisibile in and outs....but its not as memorable as the Season 1. That routine was just so unique, especially as it reflected Wednesday's character. In comparison, this was just a nice solid choreography. All and all, great season, I think I liked it...

    As La'an showed us in an earlier episode this season, anyone who has been traumatized by the Gorn develops an almost instinctual level of familiarity with their..... hehe no it doesn't make any sense but its the 2nd time we have been showed starfleet people just able to "figure it out"

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

    I agree with you, though I guess they did it for continuity to connect to later events, but it does weaken the payoff a bit. Overall great episode though, glad to have some serious drama brought back into this season

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

    I think the other problem with the whole "we have to be vulcan to go down to the planet". Ok, I get the prime directive but there clearly has to be a grandfather clause in there. We have a pre-warp society but they know advanced aliens exist, and they already have advanced technology. The...

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

    They do explain this one, that the infusion from Spock bled over some of his logical characteristics. Now does it actually make sense....no it does not, but its the kind of hand wave Technobabble that is perfectly established on Star Trek, so I am fine with it. Its exactly what I needed, just a...

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    Hotter take, if your an experienced dnd player, you simply cannot answer that question. I'm in the middle of playtesting a boardgame for example, and when it comes to some of the new player UI....you simply cannot replicate it with people that have any experience with your game. They can try...
