The Crosshair bottle episodes have been fantastic. The slow realization that no matter how good a soldier he is, he is destined to be thrown on the heap and wasted on meaningless missions

The best part about the root beer scene is it was originally intended to just be episode filler fluff for laughs…but both actors agreed to play it serious and build on the subtext and now it ranks high on favorite DS9 scenes Just goes to show how having talented actors can elevate material

Beverly's excuse was valid in the sense that the attacks against Picard post-Enterprise were targeted vs. incidental. Shit happened on the Enterprise in TNG because stuff happened. Most wasn't because of Picard being on the ship, with some exceptions. But the things Beverly was describing...

I think it just made it more realistic. Think Vulcans. Vulcans have emotions, but they effectively suppress them through active effort to the point that they are essentially "emotionless". They have to work to achieve that emotionless state. If they were 100% incapable of any emotion...

lol I forgot about that. Originally he wanted giant cod pieces for the Ferrengi I think the show ultimately wanted to show that humans were still...human. As a society, we could evolve. DS9 never tries to shy away from that and there are countless examples where even alien species make...

I'm having trouble finding it, but there were some odd ideas that came towards the end of his life in the late 1980s that I recall reading about that other producers/writers tried to temper Blaming DS9 is dumb. Roddenberry died in 1991. Even if DS9 never existed and tried to push the...

Roddenberry was great and all, but don't forget that in other ways he held back TNG and wasn't really keen on DS9 (which didn't really fully start development until after he had passed away).

I do agree that s3 does have a similar vibe to the TNG movies, but I think that has more to do with the fact they are going for a much more serialized story. SNW is really the only modern live action Trek still in the same vein as the pre-2000s era where you have adventures of the week with...

Using religion tp indoctrinate people into becoming cannibals isn't that farfetched I suppose...sort of makes a bit more sense when trying to control a community that large vs. the game where it was just a bunch of cannibal raiders. Christian missionaries used to use the reverse of this when...

Too bad I had no idea there would be a market for these strategy books one day. Back when I used to work at a game store, they eventually got marked down to a penny and we usually tossed them in the trash

Funale 1st game, no. Back half of the 2nd game, they come across a crazy religious cult.

Get the best gear and upgrades available....then use it to stomp on noobs until the game dies

Only major thing that ties back to prior seasons is Picard = basically an android. But everything else is minor enough that you don't really need the background really.

Season 1 and Season 2 are pretty uneven. There are some cool/nice moments, but a lot of crap. Highlight of season 2 are the Q+Picard interactions, which unfortunately are fairly sparse. Season 3 thus far feels more like TNG/DS9 era Trek. Hopefully they can keep up the same quality levels...

Video that consolidates some of the leaks/info known about the show. Quick summary: 1) Partial power armor shots, including one with a BoS logo. Looks like practical effect Power Armor will feature 2) Vertibird set 3) Vault sets (one interesting bit - a classroom with a NCR flag) 4) Red...

The "problematic" things in that arguement strike me as dumb. It's basically D&D Fallout, yet Fallout doesn't seem to have much issue in including cannibals, slaves, and genocide. Real issue is they probably want to make sure D&D is nice and squeaky clean so they can more easily market to kids...

It isn’t isolated to twitch thot types. ANY celebrity deals with this shit in different degrees. hell, they’ve even made movies with this sort of shit as the theme. It’s an anime film, but Perfect Blue was a good example of this. Obsessed fan stalking the main character constantly

I think so. Think about some of the odd things 1). Episode 1 mentions something wrong between him and Troi/his daughter and needing to stay away from them 2) Was very interested in the ashes left behind from the aliens Crusher vaporized 3) Some of his behaviors, like going hard on...

Someone on Reddit pointed out this scene from a couple episodes ago. The subtle double take. Hmmm.....

The real answer will be: Whatever country creates a permanent base on the moon will dictate time zones for the moon

Yes, because the best way to get shows, games, and movies you like funded is to make sure they don't make money!

Sort of, I guess. Taking them out of the TOS timeline was a good idea, but it still doesn’t really feel like “Star Trek” outside of brief scenes or bits

Interesting…soft spoilers in Critical Drinkers review ended up being misdirection

Vtubing is/was a good way to get into streaming and stay anonymous. ALL streamers with any decent audience, from titty streamers to dudes like Shroud are going to have stalkers and weirdos trying to track them down. Same shit happens with celebrities in general. Like I remember hearing some...

Ironmouse was training to be an opera singer before the sickness fucked things up. Apparently she had massive lung infections and it messed up her ability to breath for a while. She occasionally will do her singing voice and she is pretty damn good. You can tell it isn’t faked either because...

The space squid/whale things was a 100% hint that Ezra and Thrawn are going to be shown at some point Solid opening episode

Some of that carried over into MSQ. If you compare animation and facial expressions now vs in years past, it is night and day difference

Essentially they aren’t writing the character out, just not focusing on them at all. That is actually smart. If things change, they can bring back the character If not, it’s easy to explain why they aren’t around (they’re basically doing their own thing - which they kind of were at the end...

“Dumbing down” is a controversial topic. WoW had the same thing - recall the massive ability prune and homogenous class design. You have to keep in mind what drives that: maximizing player engagement In games where you have limited player counts for encounters, you have to avoid “niche...

I can understand uncertainty about a 2nd season, but rushing the entire 1st game into season 1 I think will be a mistake. Especially if season 2 just picks up like the game. People are going to tune out like they did when Glenn got Negan'd

It's not surprising - this always came across as a 'Sharknado' type movie

That sounds exactly like Jpop idols...wouldn't surprise me if there was some corporate overlap in that regards

Snuffy is a western one that switched to her normal voice and found it worked better for her character. It really comes down to streamer preferences in a lot of cases I think. The only ones I’ve watched more than once are Nyanners and Ironmouse. Nyanners doing a play through of the original...

Mando, the Feloniverse animated stuff, and Andor have all been solid Star Wars

I was scrolling quick and thought Kiroy was talking to himself, since him and pharmakos had similar avatar coloration and the same outline color
