My favorite episode of D&D Trek is when they go to that Domain of Dread where everybody is an 1800s Irish person and the resident cleric Beverly Crusher has relations with an alien/ghost who was also romantically involved with her grandma days before.

[Don't you @ me this was a real episode of TNG]

You know what is prime? The way our boy sits in chairs.

You do know he does that because Frakes has an injury, and it would be out of character Riker to go "ooch ooch ouch" every time he sits down?

Way more slick than the Picard Maneuver.

He did say it was because of a back injury, but also he's really tall.

I think as we get older many of us pull an unheroic grimace when we sit down, even shortstacks like me! On the positive side, I can pass as ferengi.

A challenge, aged 20: fight a legion of orcs/klingons.

A challenge, aged 60: sit in a chair.

Sub Rosa. Not their best work, to say the least.

Ironic that sub rosa has come to mean something we don't talk about...

Considering Rawson Marshall Thurber's track record of movies starring the Dwayne Johnson and Dodgeball, I predict a TV show about a competitive Goat-Ball league starring Johnson as a Goliath.

Which, honestly, doesn't sound half-bad. Though if we were going to see a fantasy sports movie, I'd think Blood Bowl would be ahead of Goat-Ball.

In all seriousness, doing Dragonlance as a TV show or a live-action D&D Cartoon would be pretty darn great.

Paramount + so probably nobody will see it lol.

All the Yellowstone spinoffs like 1883 and 1923 are there (both great shows). That showrunners new show Tulsa King is there too. All the Star Treks are there as well.

They added 5M subscribers in a single quarter last quarter. That service is smoking hot right now in the streaming wars.
