There was female Spartans over 20 years ago in the Fall of Reach novel. This was pre-fall, the Spartan II program had a mix of both male and female Spartans.

Ya, that was a awesome cameo

It's just doing what TV and even Youtube did many years ago - guest stars, crossovers between channels/shows, etc. Helps raise awareness for their own respective properties, and depending on the pairing and their chemistry or their interplay, it can enhance overall viewer numbers.

My guess is season 3 will bring back the reaper AI shit. Nu-Borg and the synths will save the galaxy, tying the first 2 seasons together

I liked it, but I never followed Halo lore too much. I liked the Fall of Reach book. The Mando comparison is pretty straight on, though. Colony girl is baby Yoda lol

Nah, they are going for a racial analogy, although it’s being handled clumsily. Episode 1 has Seven feeling uncomfortable with the way she is treated because it’s clear she was Borg once. Borg appear and everyone (rightfully) freaks out and Picard opts to destroy the ship rather than risk it...

It seems that way. Ignoring those dumb fucking "Borg Queen is Picard's mom!!!1!!" theories, Agnes makes the most sense. The Borg Queen seems to see something useful about her/similar to herself in Agnes, and you can tell Agnes is tempted but still cautious enough to avoid just getting straight...

The one thing I did like is the 10-C alien concept - extremely alien in both how they view other life or even communicate. Plus they weren't bad or evil, they just didn't realize what they were doing was causing damage to intelligent life because their concept of intelligence was so different...

Raffi feels like the least Trek like Trek character - she is constantly irrational unless the plot calls for her to be rational suddenly, flies off the handle randomly, is generally unlikable, etc. And you're supposed to be a Federation Captain/Officer? She feels the most out of place of the...

Target audience is going to be kids/tweens Aka the traditional Disney channel /Nickelodeon audience

The original plan was always to pick 2 landers, but the budget prevented that

Haven’t watched this yet, but from what I recall, the original Spartans were basically like that Kurt Russel movie “Soldier”. They kidnapped/raised a bunch of kids under grueling conditions with a high fatality rate, augmented them further (more fatalities), and produced a small but super elite...

Kind of a sleepy episode. Biggest take aways are something is in fact wrong with Q, Laris might not be a Romulan, and hiring a new actor is cheaper than de-aging Whoopi Goldberg

A legend for creating the image format But sorry man, no one is pronouncing it as "jiff" lol

FFXIV: uses concepts like Great Filter/Fermi Paradox and Ancient Greek philosophy for story inspiration WoW: uses the MCU for story inspiration and recycles the “…there is a bigger evil than me!” trope

Not a nuke, but they are supposed to survive very severe impacts and relatively high temperatures

Regarding bots, I went to do Blackfang quests and saw a lot of bots. I had to go to Atlas island (pvp) and there was a high level zerker standing at the quest handin and just murdering the nonstop stream of bots. I killed about 80 before I got bored and left lol

Gravity lens could be used with our own sun as well - in theory, if you placed the telescope in just the right spot at the right distance, you could potentially be able to directly image an exoplanet in another star system

Ya, software or massive airframe failure are the most likely reasons. The brief pull-up suggests the former

What the fuck? That CCST footage made it look like it was pointed directly at the ground

Couple years back Twitch was showing all the classic Doctor Who from the 60s through 80s. Early Daleks were lol. Pushed off a boat and the thing falling apart mid fall, or people owning a Dalek with a metal pipe alone. Or getting hit by a crappy car and shattering

There was a flurry of server xfers about a month ago - some servers got abandoned, some got overcrowded. The problem is most of that is driven by PVPers chasing the dragon and they start to lose interest fast

They're essentially the same thing - PVP oriented people look at P2W under the lens of "if I pay money, will I be able to defeat more players because I have an advantage?". PVE oriented people look at P2W under the lens of "If I pay money, will I get top tier gear easier and faster than people...

They're slow as fuck and have a lot of animation locks when using abilities, but they are much tankier than most DPS as a result and their attacks tend to pack a pretty big punch.

You act like she was busting into a 5 minute long speech. She cuts the wing off, quickly tells the child they have to run (she literally just says "we have to run", 4 fucking words), and gets stabbed almost immediately. She had her back turned for like a second, if that, while trying to get...

Reminded me of this classic

The biggest problem with the cash shop is the offerings aren't that great usually. The housing bundles give you very little for what they cost, the weapon skins are hit or miss, and a lot of the outfits are lame. I think the last thing I bought on the cash shop was the persistent Gallop emote...

The Spring update is supposed to be later this month or Early April, but Fall being the next major content add seems a little too late unless those summer updates really inject some interest.

But they've done that before, though Deep Space 9 spent like 2 episodes in 2024 that dealt with similar issues (society basically throwing all the undocumented people and insane people and homeless into "sanctuary districts" and then effectively just leaving them there in increasingly...

With my support paladin, even if I'm not doing great DPS, I feel extremely useful. Even at lower tiers - just a timely shield can help the party from wiping on cheap boss mechanics or from dying while chain stunned

Well

The Illusion Palace/Hildibrandt? Ya, that shit was awesome. Some mindfuck Inception style warping

Time Travel is core to Trek. They've done it in virtually every single Trek (including TOS) and in multiple Trek movies (ST4 and First Contact). Complaining about Star Trek involving time travel is an odd complaint since they've always done it. And they have always used it for making some...

Ya the story early on is all the fuck over. Later you see a recap with Kharmine being all “humans suck bruh” and Armen making exasperated gasps to emote how tormented he is

There are 2 explanations 1) the prop people understood the history and put in the sign as an Easter egg 2) the writers understood the history and the sign was intentionally there Given the track record of new Trek, I admit #1 might be more likely, but we can still hope lol

While that was no doubt the basis for that scene, I’m wondering if they will try to at least keep continuity with DS9. The Bell Riots happened in 2024 and that homeless camp had a sign saying sanctuary district, although it clearly wasn’t on the same level as the sanctuary district from DS9

The Borg Queen being impressed makes me think the Agnes as a new Borg Queen theory is going to hold. They’ve previously shown themselves to be very interested in individuals who can be more than a drone in their eyes (Data, 7 of 9 later on in Voyager) and the Queen seemed to calm down a bit...

something something Ferrengi

Ya it felt like it could have gone longer - the cliffhanger they left it on feels like a mini cliffhanger they would have led to a larger one. I do like they will be playing with the idea of what makes you you, though. The show originally seemed to treat downloads as a 1 off thing, but then...

I would agree fully on this point - most of the fun in seeing Avatar in the theaters in 3D is just how damned well they pulled it off. Like scenes where the humans are inside their flying machines and you could see the curvature of the bubble windows from the inside as they flew, it created...
