    Star Trek: Picard

    I disagree. He clearly shared the message with her and was looking for validation on what he suspected, because ultimately he wanted her buy in on what he had to do

    The Last of Us

    TLOU2 gameplay wise is fine Storywise it’s mixed and some of the controversial storybeats involve gameplay that takes away player agency, so even though you REALLY don’t want to do that gameplay action, you have to in order to proceed. It’s like that Viva la Dirt League sketch where the guy...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Fucking Barclay got more character development than Kim. Not that Voyager had a ton of character development anyways outside like 2-3 characters anyways, but in a show with so little, it stood out even by those low standards of the show

    Star Trek: Picard

    Seven and Chakotay was such a shitty pairing. Zero chemistry “everyone thinks Chakotay is boring and has the personality of a rock - lets pair him up with Seven!” Seven and The Doctor would have been better to keep going if they wanted to do a relationship thing. Both their characters had...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Best Voyager episode is the one where a copy of The Doctor is activated 700 years later and sees the historical re-enactments of Voyager that paint them all as evil war criminals

    Star Trek: Picard

    Voyager basically was a treasure trove of technologies and knowledge by the time they got home. The fact she got it back home in one piece is 100% promotion material - in some cases, she let Starfleet get centuries worth of advancements (Borg stuff, future stuff, etc)

    The Last of Us

    Communism can work ok for a very small community that doesn’t trade and just does it’s own thing in order to survive and everyone pulls their weight that is able to. Basically think a family unit pooling resources. It completely fails at scale, though

    Star Trek: Picard

    That wouldn’t fly, because technically Shaw outranked both. Picard is retired and Shaw, as captain of the Titan, would override any authority Riker would otherwise have even thought Riker is also a captain

    If you’re referring to him wanting to dump Ellie on Tommy to bring her to the university, that was in the game

    The Last of Us

    I really hope they don’t just launch into TLOU2 right away in season 2. Start setting up those plot lines, but at least flesh shit out more. Given the current pace of the show, it’s clear the first game story will be completely done

    Carnival Row

    The Pact thing seems to have parallels with the fall of the Russian Tsar and the rise of communism. Things seem nice now for the plebs, but once the spoils get used up, I wonder if storywise you’ll end up with how the Soviets ended up. There are already shades of it since they are employing...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Assuming he has a say. Could just be the higher ups just put her there whether he wanted it or not. Although given Shaw’s focus on efficiency, it wouldn’t half surprise me if that is what made Seven appealing: Borg are efficient, if nothing else

    The Last of Us

    Correct. The fungus mutated to respond to environmental pressures and also allowed it to infect humans. Tommy’s town in the game is relatively safe because of the remoteness. The winter makes it harder for the fungus infected to move about, but them being in the boonies and trying to clear...

    Star Trek: Picard

    It will be nice if they handle it like Trek’s in the past. What I suspect will happen is the “do not trust Starfleet” thing will get revealed and Shaw will be slightly more understanding. But they should still have him reprimand Seven and explain that even though stuff worked out this time...

    Hellboy (2019)

    If you look at the example above, Hellboy 2 made 2x it's production budget. Although with Hollywood accounting, I'm sure that was twisted into they made nothing on the film. Either that or they didn't feel Hellboy 3 with a 120m budget would have made back the same ratio. Hellboy 2 was such a...

    She's working undercover for Starfleet Intelligence and apparently working solo with a yet-undisclosed handler (everyone is guessing the handler will be Worf based on some hints the show left us). She is trying to figure out who stole some advanced technology that can be weaponized. For the...

    Hellboy (2019)

    Del Torro never getting to do Hellboy 3 is such a travesty. They even did an animated version of the never finished post Hellboy 2 scene where it showed this arctic base full of nazi robots and Rasputin's ghost appearing, which would have been the presumed plot of the next movie.

    In a manner of speaking, it is. This is the final season.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Warp 9.99 is pretty damned fast in Trek and conventionally treated as about as fast you can go without shit getting weird (at least based on that Voyager episode). As for how fast, I’ve seen anything from 7900x the speed of light to 21000x. But the real answer is “as fast as the plot needs it...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Enough that most players are willing to do it. I was listening to an ex-NFL player on the radio and he mentioned that before the Super Bowl, the Disney reps will basically layout how they’re supposed to do it and what they get. They’ll even make the player redo the “I’m going to Disney...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Solid first episode, although first episodes have usually been ok for this series. Curious to see where this goes my thoughts/theories: 1) the kid will end up being Picard’s 2) Section 31 is involved somehow with the stuff going on 3) Episode seemed to focus on memories a lot, be it losing...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Here is a question then: Based on what you experienced in Dragonflight, would you rate yourself likely to play more once the next major content drop comes out? I think this is something Blizzard has to adjust to. At a certain point, you're going to hit content drought unless the players can...

    1923

    The older nuns in Catholic school were the scary ones. There was an elderly nun who used to tote around a purse that she must have kept like 100 dollars worth of change in given how heavy the thing looked. She would wield that thing like a fucking medieval flail and smack the arms of...

    New ultimate fight came out and the world first guild was exposed as having used some hacks (one that let you zoom super far out so you could see everything very clearly, and another one that let you know where to stand pixel perfect to avoid shit)

    The 1st season was on Cinemax and had nudity. Then Syfy picked it up and they had to stop that, although they kept most of the sex-centric stuff even if they couldn't show anything

    The Disney hotels were always clean, or at least they were last time I visited over 10 years ago. But even back then it was expensive as fuck. But you did get good customer service at least.

    Even if a civilization made self-replicating probes, it would be supremely reckless to create them with no limits. An unintelligent self replicating probe would be considered a danger if not limited. You’d basically have a “grey goo” nightmare scenario Likewise, an intelligent self...
