JJA commented out that he feels cheated that he won't be directing Ep VIII now that he's read the script, so we JJA approves of the next movie. Make what you want out of this

Yea, people had been wondering about her going to be Killer Frost since she appeared on the pilot. But she was probably too popular to turn into evil, so using an alternate universe version works.

That's a very symbolic sequence. Up until that, you have totally faceless interchangeable stormtroopers. But the blood mark on his helmet make him an individual; all other stormtroopers are totally anonymous but he is now recognizable. And as an individual, he can make choices (and of course, he...

January 5th (S1.E5 Back to the Butcher). Speculation/spoilage based on book reading, avoid if you haven't read the books and don't want advance major spoilage.

Just as long as you realize that the new characters are exactly the old characters. I mean: - Snoke is Palpatine v2 (easy) - Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is Darth Vader/Annakin Skywalker v2 (easy; and that's even with name change and the "Ren" being a title like Darth, that's where the Knights of...

(book & ep 4+ spoilage)

Considering that Legion's Demon Hunters will essentially start close to 100, you don't need to hoard it for launch.

Fun bit: one of the guys I raid with came back recently. His mage's average ilvl is around 670, he still had 600 gear... but has a 725 staff. From his second dungeon

Yea, at that point, it's at best something that's on the back burner. That's too bad, there was a something that was promising in the EQ Next game.

In the books, Miller basically uses police authority from his boss, i.e. government backdoors to access the mail. Now, remember, this was written 5 years ago, pre-Snowden. These days, people are going to be very sensitive to government backdoors in their private stuff, so they clearly went to...

Fighting ships would, absolutely. If the USAF had stuff that could neutralize blackout/red tunnellin in their pilots, every fighter craft would have it. Because those who did not would be dogmeat.

Thomas Jane is 46. FYI. But I agree, he's a slightly different Miller than the one in the books. He still works for the story, he's a bundle of no-care/care contradictions, the-work-has-to-be-done look, and the only point that feels off is his growing obsession with Julie Mao. PS: Love the...

In other words, nobody knows the date of the book yet.

Yep. He's XO for about a day (or maybe two-three, if you allow for a "skip" over the Canterbury rerouting to the Scopuli), then his old ship gets blown up. It's trying to establish him as the guy who doesn't want power and all that, and he's only going to get captaining reluctantly because no...

There's an obvious move there. Have The Enterprise find Vin Diesel stranded on some backwater world.

Another nitpick is that the rocky moon stuff next to that planet seems waaaay too close to the Roche Limit to be stable.

The original idea of the trilogy is "deconstruct Harry Potter", I think. Since I'm rarely interested in rebuttals/can-do-better books, I've given it a pass. Is the TV show really good?

If you look at the episode titles, you can see exactly how the pacing is, and if does feel about right. The only thing that seems maybe rushed in ep 9-10, there could have been another, but onceit's very quick in terms of real-time events. Here's the titles for the upcoming episodes: 5...

It's a good standard for story-driven shows rather than recurring drama shows. 10 ep per season is Game of Thrones, 22 eps is Stargate SG1.

You're in troubleif you have to defend your trailer from the fans.

At the standard group/dungeon level, Holy is ok. I've always been Holy as a raid Priest and have pretty much stopped doing that and am always in Shadow doing my DPS because I'm an hindrance in any non-farm stuff if I'm doing healing.

It's optioned, meaning they still need to figure out if they can really have a good script that works. Once Eick has finished a script, then they have to convince SyFy to order at least a pilot. Then the pilot and projected budget has to convince the network execs to order the series. A lot...

Boutella. The girl who was playing Gazelle (the razorblade legs girl) in Kingsman. Yea. What could possibly go wrong? When I heard "The frontier fights back", I was "what? Are they really jumping to remaking The Final Frontier?"

Items in Legion seem to start at 700 in your first zone and go up to 800 for level 110 dungeons/crafted (artifact starts at 750). That suggests a progression of 9 ilvl per level post 100. If you're geared in non-warforged/non-improved heroic, you're probably replacing your items at level...

Swap servers to catch that bug. I had a character camped there that I would from time to time swap to and then custom LFG hopping. Got the beastie in about 3 days (of course, I think I just logged in the middle of a sandstorm, and there were half a dozen around waiting for me). My last...

Yep. She was signed on for 3 movies before she signed for Hunger Games. And that's probably why she's not so much in makeup; they want us to see her. They carefully husband the dude's film options. Any additional film needs a couple trailers of money thrown at him.

Tier 2 barracks + tank bodyguard = not squishy. (a bit squishier if horde, that warlock tank isn't as good as the alliance paladin).

You should, unless you want to avoid spoilage. The first one is a bit weak, the rest goes up from there. People have noticed that Avasarala (which appears only starting in the second book) is immediately introduced, I presume they're going to pick some stuff that comes from book 2 to strengthen...

Infinity Wars (part 1 & 2), yes.

Yea, and I was pretty bummed to discover that Gandalf was, in fact, a Dwarf. Originally. (ok, a dwarf that uses a magic staff, so what?)

Currently in the middle ofThe Pentagons Top-Secret Military Research Agency: Annie Jacobsen: 9780316371766: Amazon.com: Books. I had a shorter and more "hype" book a few years ago,Department of Mad Scientists, The: Michael Belfiore: 9780061577932: Amazon.com: Booksbut wanted to know more about...

They should probably split the custom LFG/LFR section in two, with one dedicated to challenge mode which would list (and allow sorting) which stone level the leader has.

It's B2P; youdoneed to buy it to play. The gradation goes P2P (Pay - recurring - to play), B2P (buy to play), F2P (don't pay anything).

The gods of luck, I think.

14th is Ep 1 (the one already streamed), 15th is the 2nd episode.

You can't beat E.E. Doc Smith power creep, where you start your "ultimate weapons" with laser guns that burn themselves after one shot in the 1st episode, and you end with battles fought with antimatter planetS (plural) thrown at faster than light speeds to your target. As a diversion for the...

The only reason I have all save the Ashran at exalted, and the Ashran one half-way there is that 8 alts shoveling the Legion medallion to my main whenever that mission pops make it doable.

I dropped the second book halfway thru. I still liked how Suarez writes, so I did pick and had lots of big groans on the Influx book (and I shudder at thinking how it could ever be adapted in a movie, which it's supposed to).

Supposedly, you have Luke Cage, then Ironfist, then the Defenders ensemble season. Depending on delays for Ironfist, I suppose you may have a 2nd season of DD before...
