I'd love to see Lucas directed sequels, if only because I have no idea what I'd be getting. I'd like to think that the evisceration that the prequels have undergone in the last decade has rubbed off some on Lucas, even if he doesn't let on. Of course it's also entirely possible that he's narcissistic enough that any…

5 Treks? So are you kicking out 1 or 5?

for the first time I could not accept a detail of the murder tableau

Yeah, I'd say the sequel is definitely worth checking out. The opening title sequence is my favorite thing in the movie, and I don't even mean that as a slight against it. It's just a really good title sequence.

I'd celebrate both of those things. I wouldn't want to see Shae come to harm but she's been irritatingly obtuse regarding the consequences of Tyrion being married and what that means for their relationship.

So, kinda like Hellraiser then?

Can't they get a pole for that sign?

My picks (in no particular order):

Just nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Thats… actually a hilariously inappropriate and disturbing line. Try replacing "mosques" with "churches" or "temples" and see how it sounds. I can't imagine that line being written after 9/11.

I'm split on the bonfire warping. Yes, it makes things more convenient and allows you to explore further without risking as much. But it also immediately reduces any sense of space and geography to the world. The level design in the first half of DS1 is so wonderfully interconnected, and having to backtrack across it…

Whats with the snark? A SL1 run is a lot easier than you might imagine, as so much of your offensive and defensive power comes from your equipment, which you're still free to upgrade.

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun!

Thanks for that!

My problem with Covenant is that's it's really just the generic "cult leader is a hypocrite and is (ab)using his position to fuck whoever he wants" story.

Just you wait, as soon as we have the technology to upload a persons consciousness into an article of clothing this will rapidly become the new fetish.

You wouldn't happen to remember the name of that blog by any chance? It might be archived somewhere.

Except thats not the way the situation was presented. It wasn't "our ships can no longer support us, we have no choice than to go live on this planet", it was "technology sucks, lets go be hippies and die of dysentery!". That is, the decision to abandon their ships (and chuck them into the Sun for good measure) was…

"I never got the sense that I was actually supposed to take any of that seriously until the last half-hour or so"

While the decision to omit aliens from NuBSG closed off some storytelling options, there are still a great many paths they could have gone down even in a relatively barren, human/cylon only universe. I think the big mis-step that prevented them from capitalising on this (aside from their…
