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)

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

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

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

Amazon advertises in odd spots. The Expanse had some spotty advertisement as well at times

Randomly went to the inn in the Crystarium to fix some glamour plate stuff and the shoebill was sitting on the balcony. I don't think I've seen that before

The main suspect in the attack

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...

That Critical Drinker review mentioned the plot tied into the TNG episode

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It just shows that if the product is good, people give less of a shit about controversy

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)

I’m guessing rolling with a pug as a noob is better than trying to run Goblin Caves? I just die quickly in my shitty default gear, either to NPCs or some geared player that one shots me

Somewhere YoshiP is saying...

They should have also gone after the officials that essentially took the equivalent of a bribe to allow a lot of these buildings to pass inspection to begin with

It's Florida. Tap water = swamp water

Riot’s will presumably be bigger, although it’s still basically Project Titan at this point for all intents and purposes

Family man/Bernie Sanders Joker is actually a pretty fucking funny take on the character that they pulled

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

Lexx is awesome. It’s basically an insane German TV show set in a fucked up sci-fi setting The thing I mentioned about the arms lasts for like an entire season as a background plot until it comes to a head as they continue to multiply

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...

Radio signals from Earth are also thought to degrade as they get farther out from the source, much like the water ripples created from a stone you throw into a pond. It is hypothesized that after around 2 light years or so, they become almost indistinguishable from background radiation

Abby? I don’t think so, they were just extremely masculine from what I recall The person she later rescues from the religious cult is outright identified as trans, though, if memory serves

The biggest change was with the ARR dungeons, like 1000 Maws. That place used to be a virtual maze, but they made it linear in a revamp. Some may decry the loss of a non-linear dungeon, but it really didn't fit anymore since everything post ARR followed a different layout. Plus it was...

They reportedly disabled it regards to NSFW stuff, so what’s the point?

The Q parts were good in S2, or at the very least, his initial scenes with Picard and his last scenes with Picard.
