    Indeed. But I did think it strange that there was no mention of him at all. Maybe episode 2? Cheers :)

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again season two discussion

    I am not sure we can assume that. Dialogue from multiple characters in the first episode referred to vigilante trials in the plural. But we only saw Swordsman in the episode itself. There must be others to go on trial and Punisher would seem to fit. But then again, he is the model for the...

    Yes, I caught that first time around. Based upon what we have seen I have to assume this occurs before Thunderbolts in the timeline, but not 100% sure. Anyone else have a bead on that? Cheers :)

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again season two discussion

    Interesting start to the season, with no immediate follow up to the final scene of last season (it is implied through dialogue, but nothing direct in the visuals). I am not sure how to take the turn of Murdock's former girlfriend (the psychologist). Yes, we know she was brutalized by the clown...

    I think if we look at the season as a whole then there are three strands that run together through this last episode and if you do not take the full extent of those strands (or character arcs) then you end up in different places. Caleb's arc is going from a child with trauma (despite being...

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    I imagine that there is something in the last episode about what Braka wants. My own speculation at this time is two-part: 1) Braka wants the Federation, specifically Starfleet, contained so that he can expand his own empire further without any competition or interference. 2) Braka wants to...

    Thanks for sharing, although not quite as dark as you think I expect. The comic is all about subverting expectations when it comes to predicting what is next, so ...

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Based upon dialogue earlier in the episode I took it that the red zones shown on the star map, and later on screen, were the overlapping sensor nets extending from the mines that would make them explode. So yes, no triggering the Omega. Nus is daring the Federation to cross the line and make...

    Imposter syndrome and/or needing to measure up to Dad's achievements & expectations and feeling that if she is not perfect she is not there. Even if her Dad does not actually expect her to be perfect, the example he has set to her for her whole life (she has mentioned many times growing up on...

    That, I agree with you. That was a decision made in Discovery that they just brought into this show based upon the shared timeline. It makes no sense in-universe if you think things through. That and the Dr. Who TARDIS like interior of Discovery after refit (with turbolifts that create their...

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Agree that the Athena was landed for the episode (and most of the other episodes). In the fiction I don't think it is a very logical way to set things up. It would be a compromise design that would end up being mediocre at doing the things you want it to do (not the best at being a starship...

    Should have mentioned in my last post. I agree that the episodes are getting better. E6 did indeed up the tension and the stakes. Agree that it was compelling. Some of my previous predictions came true, but in a different way then I expected. I did not expect to see the fallout that we got...

    Actually, E4 did not cut off early. It was only advertised as ending early (at least in Western Canada). If you used PVR you missed the end, but watching live I caught the issue and rebroadcast on CTV Sci-Fi is the correct 1 hour 20 min episode. That said, in my area rebroadcast was only at 2...

    Hello, Enjoying the season so far. While certainly some tropes are in play related to young people and school (high school/college in the stars), there is a great deal of other interesting material going on. To look ahead, I think there are two things we can expect (or at least I expect): 1)...

    D&D General Does anyone know which products had Elmore's Dragon Slayers, and Proud Of It! art?

    Hmm ... I did not play 2E, so never saw the art there as I have never even read any of the manuals. I could swear I saw it as cover art for Dragon, but you are correct it is not showing up in that montage of the first 250 issues. Maybe it appeared after that as a re-used piece of art? Or...

    It was a Dragon Magazine cover at one point. Sorry, but I do not know the issue number. Cheers :)
