The distortion effect on the Master’s voice isn’t too dissimilar to the one they use for Marcion Ro in the high republic audio books. Depends how joined up the products are, but that will be my guess for now.

Err no he didn’t “think of everything” . He read the book. He did a really good job of adapting the book, and of explaining the source material, but none of those examples are things which Villeneuve has added to the canon. They’re all right there for all to see, right in the text. You could perhaps argue that Frank…

Agreed, I wish they gave these shows time to breathe with a more “old fashioned” 20+ episodes. I’ve just been watching ent season four and breaking to check out the Disco premiere really highlights how different the writing is, and how rushed things are these days.

Of course the majority shareholders of paramount are just about to sell the studio... So everything that hasn’t begun filming could be subject to change once the new owners take over. This is less of a signed and sealed road map and more their very public pitch for what they want to do!

It’s not some big secret. Anyone who’s read the books knows how to do it. Freman children can manage a dismount. Wait till the worm slows, then release your maker hooks. As it begins to dive you walk to the tail end where it’s narrower and jump clear of the wake, off to one side is best. If you've worn out the worm it…

Yes because Davros’ disability is due to the genetic mutations which are slowly turning the Kaled race into the Daleks. He wasn’t injured, rather he was born that way. He is more humanoid than most of the first Daleks, but still is paralysed and needs the transport machine. He’s kind of the bridge between the still…

Now, my disability isn’t a mobility issue, so I’ll wait to hear what actual wheelchair users think before making a final judgement. That said, as a disabled person, I hate this and was perplexed and horrified when watching this episode.

I loved the way the timelines transformed into Yggdrasil as Loki ascended to godhood. I’ve always been frustrated by Marvel’s portrayal of the Aesir as superheroes rather than cosmic beings. This was the first time thus Loki felt like a mythical being, bringing Ragnaro k to some time lines in order to preserve others.

I could believe that their are managers at Hasbro who think this is a novel response to thr popularity of actual plays, but it’s really not. Tie in novels have been a thing for decades, and use d to be a major money maker for them. They’ve created innumerable adventuring parties over the decades. Some like…

And Paizo got the idea from 3.x which used a coherent party of characters to illustrate the books. While those of us who played in that era remember Tordek, Lidda etc. Fondly their spin off novels made zero pop culture impact, so pathfinder has definitely executed the concept better than wotc did.

My theory is that the Mortis beings are avatars of the aspects of the Force. The Daughter still exists through Morai, because she didn’t “create” the light side of the force, she’s just its material manifestation. As the light side is eternal, so too the Mortis Gods persist, embodying it in one form or another.

They are making enough star wars now, that not everything has to be for every one. Andor was basically a stand alone, and an excellent one at that. Kenobi was a bridge between the trilogies, set up to introduce those fans to the inquisition, but otherwise not tying in to much else that wasn’t already widely known.

“Nuanced” is not a word often associated with CoPL, but actually? I kind of miss its take on Dathomir, where we got to see an entire culture of force sensitive people, light and dark. Clone wars does a good job with the Nightsisters, but totally misses the point that not all the Witches of Dathomir were dark siders.…

I’m sorry, but no. The best thing The Next Generation did was create new characters in a new era, rather than have the literal children of the tos cast be the new crew of the Enterprise for some reason. Nostalgia only gets you so far. If you want to take star trek forward, then you need a cast who exist on their own…

Err, I seem to recall the very same episode prominently featuring a male incarnation of the Master in the very costume? In general, in principle, I’d agree with what Davies is saying, but did he not watch the show?

I think I can now say I’m not enjoying these much. Lower Decks finds a very tricky balance between cutting humour, continuity, and self depreciation while still staying wholesome and heart warming. This isn’t even trying to do that and just feels like any bad star trek parody.

I can totally buy that the World Between Worlds is what becoming one with the force feels like, or can be conceptualised as to those of us still bound to “this crude matter”. I’d never made the connection but it does fit with some of the observed powers of force ghosts!

I've read a lot of reference and rpg books from both before and after the reboot, and my conclusion is the plot points have been rebooted, setting details haven't. I think the consider it the same SW universe, with all the same playing pieces on the board. It's just how the game plays out that's different.

No. The reason it produces shitty art is because people insist on personifying a glorified photoshop filter. AI is in no way an artist and treating it as such, even while disparaging it is the root of the problem.

There are certainly a lot of unresolved issues around how Art AIs are trained.
