    The Russian space program sent a successful balloon probe to Venus back in the 70s, so doing something similar would be completely viable. They would just need to figure out something that is significantly more resistant to acid so they could get a longer term mission going.

    Stargate: Origins

    This is likely. They'll go to some galaxy that is far beyond the range of their current hyperdrive tech, so they can't just have the Earth fleet show up and kick ass. Then they will keep it that way until the plot requires otherwise.

    Well, it would have been a one way trip. He would never see his people ever again.

    Stargate: Origins

    Probably a solid bet and good way to "clear the table". Basically make it like an extreme version of Atlantis, where they now have a new galaxy to explore.

    In later expansions, they poke fun at that a lot and some of your dialogue options are the sarcastic acknowledgement of that

    Stargate: Origins

    SGU started to get a bit better when they realized they aren't Battlestar Galactica and they lightened up a bit. It also (plot wise) was getting more interesting just prior to cancelation. It's rough for Sci-fi shows now. A show like ST: Enterprise probably would have gotten the standard 7...

    The Deep barely does anything in the comic. The show's version is already 100x more fleshed out.

    Stargate: Origins

    Potentially. They would also have to find an angle. 1) Earth is super powerful by the end of SG1 and Atlantis. You either make a threat that matches that (not the fucking Lucien Alliance, the pilot to SGU was fucking dumb when a bunch of standard Gouald motherships are beating the shit out...

    Pretty intriguing if true. Despite Venus' surface being a hellscape, it's upper atmosphere is rather temperate and also dense. Venus is also theorized to have been more conducive to life in it's distant past, so it is quite possible life evolved, some of it ended up in the upper atmosphere and...

    It's basically a Rogue-Like dungeon crawl. You progress up the floors until you hit the top. It is mostly for leveling alts, but there are other rewards locked behind them. The biggest thing is your progress is saved on a per-party basis, so it makes it nearly impossible to PUG (ie, if...

    I agree they could have. One thing that stood out when I watched a brand new player stream their first time playing ARR is that there were still a lot of "let's recap what we literally just discussed 5 minutes ago" that existed because of the original gaps in MSQ story patches. I'm honestly...

    You hit on another point: WoW both elevated and killed the MMO market, and now it is much harder to fund AAA mmos because the investment vs. return just isn't there. Part of FFXIV's success is no doubt people sick of WoW and wanting something on that same tier (it also helped that Yoshi P had...

    Pretty much Mafia/Werewolf. It's basically The Thing. 1-2 players are The Thing and have to sabotage/kill other players, and the other players have to try to guess who The Thing is. Like if someone finds a dead body and reports it, then all players go into a lobby and discuss/vote. You can...

    I fucking hate that. Korean dev houses always produce amazing beautiful games with interesting gameplay mechanics...then they pay2win the fuck out of it and make it so if you aren't paying hundreds of dollars a month, you'll never be top tier.

    The MSQ pacing was them trimming out a lot of the "go here, talk to dude, pray return to the waking sands, talk, go here, repeat" crap that made the post-Ultima->Heavensward MSQ grind even more of a chore. I don't see how removing that is "bad". I've always used the analogy that FFXIV is...

    Butcher is more likable in the show, but he is definitely a "are you useful? do you forward my agenda/goal?" type of guy. He's shown that he has no issues dropping folks when they no longer suit his needs. This entire time, it has been revolving around his wife (be it revenge for her "death"...

    She vanished pretty much right after the event, which implies Vought got their claws into her ASAP. Pretty easy to say “you abort, we tell Homelander and we throw you to him. Btw, did we mention he is a sadist and will take his time torturing you?”

    Ddi you watch the show? Homelander was murdering people even as a kid. Regardless as to the "he said, she said" dynamics, we can inference a few things based on character reactions and facts in the show 1) Becca clearly did not want Homelander to know about her and her kid. Vought...

    there could be legal shit going on behind the scenes. Lawsuits only become public knowledge once they are filed with the court. If they are mediating or settling behind the scenes, you aren’t going to hear a peep outside of a leak.

    They’ll probably use a Mando “bubble episode” to gauge interest in the characters for possible spin offs

    I imagine this show has more pressure on it as well since 1st season was a big hit, which means more hands in the pot.

    That would make sense, but we will probably never learn the real reasons until this show is long gone.

    The Stand is older than the Dark Tower series, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Flagg was more Satan then as he continued the character, he retconned.

    It feels like they killed Carl off because their in-show time wasn’t matching with real time and they didn’t want to explain why a “kid” was suddenly an adult lol. They would run into the same issue with Judith.
