    I suspect Carrot Glowsticks will either be bloodsworn rep level or Allied Tribe quests if they actually do that this xpac

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It’s kind of true. I like how they touch on this during the actual MSQ: in their eyes, you’re a psychopath who has murdered thousands and why rank and file soldiers shit their pants when they realize who you are

    The Mandalorian

    I wonder if this will be the Grogu flashback episode that dealt with the Jedi Temple massacre during Order 66. The season 3 trailer showed a quick snippet of that. Having another Jedi/force user show up to dredge up those memories would make sense, so I think you’re right that Ezra or Ashoka...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Maybe, but Beverly mentions Jack having nightmares as a kid. Unless that is a red herring, it suggests some manner of continuity between him as a kid and now in terms of the nightmareish visions.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Yes, happens all the time. I know what you're implying, but I can assure you people died of various "natural causes" /w no reported health issues or pre-ex conditions all the time pre-covid in droves as well. Biggest culprit: 1) Most men don't see a doctor regularly and ignore "minor" things...

    Back 4 Blood

    It wasn't "woke", it was just bland and convoluted 1) The card system, while nice on paper, just translated into a confusing experience early on. You gave players lots of choices with little practical input and your character felt gimped with bad choices 2) The gun had a loot rarity/attachment...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Yes, it totally stretches the realm of possibility that a guy who lives with his mom, who is an expert in medicine, would have actually learned medicine.

    Carnival Row

    Ya, this was the final season and that was the finale. Agree on those Agreus points - he fucking destroyed those goblin guards, like that one that was like broken in half. The molten gold repair work on the horn was cool.

    Carnival Row

    Wrapped up decently enough, although still pretty open ended in the scheme of things. I did like how Imogen and Agraius are going to basically be like a Westinghouse or Edison entity in the world - they did sort of hint at it in season 1 when he showed her the lightbulb technology. Philo's...

    Willow

    100% it was related to the need to save money. To be honest, this actually makes me more nervous about The Orville. McFarlane mentioned the D+ numbers were going to influence Disney renewing the show. If Orville was pulling Willow like numbers, then that doesn’t bode well for an additional season

    Star Trek: Picard

    In the teaser trailer for S3 of Picard, I think it was Geordi that recognized Lore. I suspect Geordi will run into Worf/Raffi when they head to Daystrom, then connect with the rest of the crew after that

    Star Trek: Picard

    Ya, the current showrunner was the guy behind the 12 Monkeys TV show. It's a shame Picard wasn't like this from season 1 and onward. Season 3 is basically what everyone thought the show was going to be when the Picard series was first announced.

    The Mandalorian

    Older - like 60-80. But ya, they can effectively keep him in baby form for the rest of the show outside of a time jump

    Star Trek: Picard

    The relaunch novels are noted on one of the ST wikis. Some are side stories and some are main story. Like for example there is a whole novella devoted to Rom as Grand Nagus.

    Star Trek: Picard

    The relaunch novels started off good, but that started to get less unified as time went on Stitch in Time (the Garak one) was probably the best of the batch and actually written by Andrew Robinson

    Star Trek: Picard

    That’s possible as well. That vision of people screaming in the transporter did seem odd - unless it was a warning of sorts His visions do seem all over the place and it is still a mystery on what is going on with him. He basically went Jason Borne on that part in the hallway, like it was...

    The Mandalorian

    Killing Pershing would have been easier, but instead they used eliminating him to keep an imbedded mole in the organization If he was flat out murdered, then there would presumably have been a bigger investigation than “shit, this imperial tech fried this dude’s brains. Chalk up another bit...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I saw a good theory online Remember when Odo got punished and turned into a solid? I recall that Bashir did medical scans and basically confirmed he was human. But Odo was able to become a changeling again when he absorbs that wounded changeling Since the great link could do that to Odo...

    The Mandalorian

    Regard Bo-Katan, I think she will leverage the mythosaur to try to gain power over the group. Since they are ultra traditional, she could easily use that to cement a place of power

    The Mandalorian

    If they're willing to wipe the mind of an asset like that, then that suggests they either have someone who can carry on his work, or they didn't need him anymore. Assassination would have drawn too much attention and clearly they want to stay on the DL - effectively eliminating someone who...

    The Last of Us

    They really need to during the second season. The audience is going to tune out if they don’t make Abby sympathetic before she does that deed. Trying to make her sympathetic after the fact will backfire

    Willow

    It had some redeeming qualities. The dude who played Boorman as a Mad Martigan standin was one of the few likable characters. And some of the callbacks were nice. IMO they could have cut down on the CW teen angst crap and made the some characters more likable (the daughter was too unlikable...

    Willow

    It couldn’t have been cheap and there have been pushes to cut costs, so not surprised it was axed. It did ok on the site, but it never really seemed to generate any major buzz

    Wednesday

    https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jenna-ortega-rejected-wednesday-offers-film-star-1235554072/ Interesting interview. Seems like Jenna Ortega was getting annoyed by how Wednesday was being written and had to actively try to fix it on set.

    Cocaine Bear (2023)

    It was “Sharknado” funny - basically the dumb premise is the humor and it is an intentionally dumb premise vs unintentionally. But if that doesn’t appeal, then the movie is just dumb Syfy Saturday schlock

    The Last of Us

    That detail alone made me question their plan. If it was interconnected with the host in some manner of symbiotic relationship (or benign parasite), then wouldn’t it be more important to figure how that works? If you kill the host and try to replicate the infection and it doesn’t work, then...

    The Last of Us

    In the game, didn’t they want to kill Ellie because they wanted to harvest all the fungus that had grown interconnected with her brain and nervous system? It always came across to me they wanted a lot of material to work with and didn’t have any contingencies to find a safer option, which seems...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Ammo is fairly easy to get now for free, even high end ammo. If you run Daily Ops (the dungeon thing), all the enemies drop the Ammo type you used to kill them. Even ultracite ammo. The only thing they don’t drop is fusion/plasma cores. They also drop enough of it that you leave with more...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Yes and no. Carry weight was a thing in Fallout 4 and since 76 was essentially Fallout 4 mechanics, they kept that. The other problem was because 76 was online and because of Bethesda’s spaghetti code, all that individual shit had to be tracked by the server. I recall early on there were...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Carry weight is the fucking bane of FO76. Like 1/6th my characters perks are for weight reduction and I perma run around in power armor with extra carry weight mods on the legs. They just arbitrarily add too much weight to shit. Like stimpacks or nuka colas weighing 1 lb each by default, etc

    Carnival Row

    The show is pretty much using historical allegories as the basis and smooshing different shit together Burge is basically Colonial Europe Pact is like a mixture of Tsarist Russia/WW1 Germany New Dawn are Bolsheviks Black Raven are like the IRA Fae are a mixture of various immigrant groups or...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    They released a slightly upscaled fallout 1,2, and tactics on steam. If you had bought fallout 76 way back when Bethesda had its own launcher, you actually got those for free I think. When I converted my Bethesda launcher stuff to steam, the old fallout games carried over as well

    Final 2 episodes land this Friday. It feels like they’re trying to fit 2 seasons of story into one and they’ve been murdering characters left and right. It’s a shame really, as I’ve enjoyed the world building. I’m trying to figure how it ends. The Stalinist commies are pretty clearly the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I kind of like how FF handles PvP. Gear means nothing, you basically get a default template for your class stat wise and some PvP only abilities (your hot bar is different for pvp as well). Most of the abilities are similar to regular abilities, although most are simplified. All classes get...
