    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Yeah but honestly if I want to watch the older stuff so much I would just buy it. I promise that if the streaming services never made new stuff or had new movies coming in, that their subscription rate would take a big tumble.

    Car ?'s

    Call me old fashion but I prefer to just drive my own car. My truck has all the warning systems and lane systems and I deactivated them all. If I reach a point when I am unable to drive my own vehicle, then I will just stop driving.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    https://deadline.com/2023/05/wga-strike-evil-production-shut-down-season-4-wraps-early-1235358440/ I wonder how badly this hurts streaming. If nothing new is coming out, why would I continue to pay for it? The comments below appear to be a small window into what is going on.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    So better than Season 8 then? Having Melisandra be the one that kills Jon is something that was rarely discussed as a possibility. Considering she was the one that brought him back, it would actually be fitting.

    Sir, I have been inspired. The Prompt: "Write a 500 word story that continues the book "A Dance with Dragons". The reply: Spoilers for the book "A Dance with Dragons" ahead! As the winter winds began to pick up, the armies of the North prepared for battle. Jon Snow, newly elected Lord...

    Yellowstone

    I actually felt like in a lot of ways that the story revolved around Jimmy's character. It was why I enjoyed the show up too season four. The last episode made for a good send off of his character after having learned how to be a cowboy. It was a good redemption story. After reading the board's...

    Gladiator 2

    Maybe he plays a senator that sucks up to this popular gladiator. He pays the gladiator gold to appear at his kids birthday party. Its only then that the gladiator finds out that the senator wants to create a tournament for champions. They quickly bond and become good friends over this idea...

    I will also add the first 4 seasons of Yellowstone. I have not watched season 5 but I am understanding that it kind of went off the rails a bit.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Dark (If you say this show was not good, Fuck Off). Wait 2020's? The Magicians ended then, same with Dark. I would also add Andor to the list as that was a big surprise. The Last Kingdom was another one I enjoyed even if it did go Woke a bit at the end.

    It really is about the input for ChatGPT. As an example, I asked it too tell me a blonde joke. Its response was I'm sorry, I cannot generate a response to your request as it goes against my programming to engage in derogatory or offensive content, including jokes that target a particular group...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    All this talk about whether or not an AI is capable of writing a good script. I figured I would ask the AI. It gave a pretty damn good answer. AI has advanced significantly in recent years, and it is now possible for AI to write scripts. With the development of natural language processing...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Looks good enough. I am still not the greatest fan of the scream music.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Couldn't they just use ChatGPT now? With most of the crap coming out these days, I actually think the AI could do better. It would be funny if the studios went that direction and suddenly the writers no longer had jobs.

    I actually enjoyed the movies. I will watch this but as usual I am not going to the theater for it.

    Disney's Lorcana (trading card game)

    Yeah, A few boxes. I am almost willing to bet there is going to be a frenzy for first edition. So, good luck. Oh and August 18th is the current release date for those wondering.

    The show is very hit and miss. I usually get one laugh per episode.

    The Equalizer

    The first one was well done. The second one(unlike John Wick) was not. That is why you do not remember the second one. It was very disappointing after having enjoyed the first one. This one might be in between the first and second one for quality. I will most likely give it a shot unless it just...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Its clear the people running this do not understand what they are running well enough, to optimize the amount of money they could make off its player base. They are trying to milk this for as long as possible until either the "real" next great thing comes or we all die. I honestly think this...

    The Mandalorian

    As much as I want to see it, this is why I do not want to ever see Disney restart Firefly. Just have to accept that the show will never return, as I do not want to see it wrecked like Star Wars for the most part(Andor withstanding) has been.

    Star Trek: Picard

    They did actually kind of show that. You could tell that there was a euphoric effect to being attached to a collective. A sense of belonging that is very much human nature. The Borg excel at giving a human many of the things that we look for in life. Now add a drug or electric stimulation to the...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Where the fuck was this the whole time? That is how you end a generation and start anew. So the rating for this show is misleading. You almost wish you could just seperate the rating for Season One and Two, from Three. One and Two would be 1-2 star. Three would be 5 Stars.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I cringe at the expense of progress. Nice to see that it did manage its primary goal of lift off, but the cost of just that goal is numbing.

    MTG thread

    I don't know who that person is in that video but it just comes off wrong. He should not be doing pack openings for Magic the Gathering. He should be doing videos on ways to place electrical sockets in your home or some other do it yourself kind of video. His enthusiasm is just so blase.

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Considering how weak the last one was, I am fine with just retiring the series. It has had a phenomenal run. It is time to move on and let it go.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Maybe everyone is already dead on the Enterprise D saucer section. The last scene shows nurses disconnecting Picard from the machines that have kept him alive these last few months, 35 years later. His last mission, to save the trapped souls on the Enterprise D and to lead them to the great...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Due to Throne and Liberty taking longer, friend and I might also come back when the Merc system comes into play. Have no interest in playing the newly announced TLP..

    Star Trek: Picard

    I would guess Jack will have a major role to play in events to come. There is also a chance that allies would come to help but I just do not imagine the writers committing to the destruction of most of Starfleet. A solution will present that preserves a descent amount of Starfleet.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I can watch the train wreck without contributing to the population number or monthly fee. Should be plenty to read about right here and some other forums. I like playing on fun servers. This concept does not really have anything fun about it and equates too last year's servers. Grieving can be...

    Star Trek: Picard

    That was what I was hoping for. I am curious as to how this situation is dealt with. The odds are a bit out of whack at the moment. Excellent episode and actually looking forward to what might be the best Star Trek seen in a long long time. My reaction to the reveal.. Data's view on optimism...
