    The Expanse

    Only if TWD had biospheres that were taken over/reprogrammed by a "weapon" from an alien intelligence that predated humanity by over 2 billion years. If you're just worried about a lot of space zombies long term, it's not like that.

    Never watched TWD. How would it become TWD in space?

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    See...that's why I hate all the SJW/anti SJW stuff about Last Jedi. It gives defenders an excuse to go back and forth about that rather than discuss why it was simply a bad movie. I could give two shits about who they casted for Rose and the general that hyperspaced her ship into the other, or...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    And frankly you could argue that Carson was a semi snubbed, being 2nd in rushing yards in the NFC among RB's.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    As I was pointing out with the Scherff nomination earlier...Pro Bowl noms a lot of the time aren't the best measure of who are really the best year to year at the position. That Ravens team was 4-5 last year with Flacco, went 6-1 with Jackson. They lost a good number of their main contributors...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Wilson is the only other guy in the discussion, that's for sure, but Jackson's case is pretty hard to argue against at this point. Also beat Wilson head to head up in Seattle.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    There is some really shitty stuff in the EU. There's also a good bit of decent to good stuff. I do think Zahn's Thrawn trilogy pretty much is head and shoulders above everything else by a good bit, though.

    The Expanse

    Yeah being able to binge this season was great...and shitty. Guess I'll plow through Book 4 and as many as I can get through before season 5 is released.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Found racing and blitzball to be far more engaging. They're all super repetitive, but hot and cold was the worst of it confined to the smallest area. Watching my "beak level" increase didn't really move the needle, either.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Yeah, relax a little. "Luke's movie" in that he was simply the most featured of the 3 main original trilogy actors (Han/Luke/Leia). You barely see him at end of TFA, and not much more of Leia until near the end while Han gets most screentime and his send off with character dying. Last Jedi...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Pro Bowl isn't a real thing anymore anyways. Scherff got in for Redskins and he's had a decidedly mediocre season. Just going to let him get overpaid somewhere else.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    That's more like 13-15. 7-9 EU was the Zahn Thrawn trilogy, and frankly I assume most older Star Wars fans will continue to consider those the best 7-9 they could have done.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Not having same director/vision for all 3 movies was the issue from the start. I also don't get all the hate TFA gets, not saying it was great by any stretch but I'll echo others that it did a good job introducing the new characters and having a good amount of threads to pull on and tease out...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    How was the plan to strand themselves on the planet they were "running" to (because I guess they thought all the shuttles people would take down there had stealth tech and wouldn't be seen?) a better idea than moving a bunch of the little shuttle/transports between ships to confuse First Order...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Agreed. Although I have almost as much of a problem with the whole Speed in space plot having to go just fast enough to prevent damage from their lasers but we're running out of fuel and that makes up over half the plot of the movie, the useless sidequest to find a "codebreaker" (they're...

    Sounds like more of the same from stuff like this: Review: ‘Rise Of Skywalker’ Is The Worst ‘Star Wars’ Movie Ever The dumb thing is, now it's not just 2 sides of a coin doing reviews for these movies...the people that know they're bad, and the shills that just praise whatever splurgs onto the...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I wouldn't even say they did a 180 on it, because a lot of the "180" feel is stuff that was clearly there in the original. Daniel was kind of a whiny bitch even then, Johnny DID congratulate him and hand him the trophy when it was over. I think they did a great job with the societal changes...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think I was just a bit older when I went back and played IX, because playing the remaster of X I just can't rank IX anywhere close to X. Combat system blows it out of the water, story is far better imo, and every time I play IX the character design and what not just comes off as very kid...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I feel like at best, JJ could try and retcon/pull together somehow some of the threads that Last Jedi had already ripped apart, and if he even manages to get a cohesive story out of it, I can respect the effort...but there's zero chance to pull an actual good movie out of it all, let alone...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Literally the worst shit ever. Saw some early reviews (non spoiler) come in from the world premiere. Some doing the usual "SO GREAT! You will cry!", others clearly sticking to safe language of "BIG movie, huge plot could have been several movies in one!" without really saying how shit it was...

    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    I'm biased as fuck, but to me intentional elbows like that are still less of a hockey play than anything Tom Wilson has been suspended for. Also that's ridiculous that Lemieux got 2 for that love tap. They let waaaaay worse than that go in front of the net.

    Not often you see Ovechkin get nada with 9 shots. He did hit the crossbar, but was as close as he got.

    He's probably going to get north of $8M a year, maybe even 9+. I agree he had a down year during the regular season when we won the Cup, but deserved to go back in after how Grubauer looked first 2 games of that playoffs. His start this year was horrible first 5 games, but since then last 19...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    This of course, ignores the version where they get stopped on 4th, leaving them only up by 2 and forcing their D to then prevent the Falcons from even getting into FG range versus only having to prevent a TD if they successfully kick a field goal. Although frankly, I still probably would have...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Don't get how Steelers have Conner off the field in crunch time to turn 1st and 10 into 3rd and 20 before they put him back on the field. Four down territory with more than enough time I'd be eating up whatever yards I can on check downs early downs to make 3rd/4th easier.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree that Naz and Mech were better than Argus zones, overall. Class Order Halls did seem to bring a lot more content to do on alts and stuff rather than island expeditions/battlefronts/whatever
