The in universe explanation was Hobus had dilithium rich planets that caused a cascade effect creating a trans warp phenomenon. It was silly but consistent in universe and similar effects had been seen. Honestly, even the hardest of sci-fi has some pretty silly assumptions. Trek is not very hard sci-fi (really for all…

That’s the plan, it’s a quieter time of year but none of us are banking on that. I have a friend who works in disaster recovery that we’re going with. They’ve got everything planned out and scheduled. The spreadsheets are impressive! The plan is to be there bright and early.

Glad to know I’m not alone in my excitement. Hope you have a blast when you go. We’ve booked two days to visit the park so I can’t wait to make the most of it.

That sounds awesome! I already warned my wife I will likely cry at least once. I warned her a year ago when we first set the plans for this trip in motion. That sounds like a wonderful trip glad you had fun.

This is a literal catch 22 situation, if they don’t say anything they’ll get crap for no content. If they do say something they get crap for no surprises. The work around I’d go with is mystery weapons. Say an Exotic is coming but don’t show it or tease it. You get a content slot filled but keep the surprise. I don’t…

I’m going in 5 days, I’m so excited! I very much suspect I will shed a few tears on this visit. First time to Disney World and stepping into the universe of Star Wars. The little kid inside is going to be HYPED!

I want them all now! This is so hard to be patient and wait for!

It could have been clearer, I assumed the context of the comments would have carried it but you know what they say about assumptions (said every dad everywhere just wanting to make a bad pun about asses).

Taika Waititi directed an episode of Mandalorian and he also saved the Thor series. Within the context the OP implied Ron is needed, my response within context is he is not needed as Taika is a known success. I indidcate that he (Taika) has a track record of success therefore it (Ron being brought in) will not be…

I’m actually fine with most of this, and I literally own all of Sir Pterry’s books. Many of his adaptations have used similar aesthetics my only issue is making Cheery a human adoptee. I mean that was Carrot’s thing but also more importantly it diminishes the huge risk Cheery took. Cheery’s actions were akin to coming…

I still get a bit misty eyed when I think of René and thinking that tree in the clip may have been the tree he sat under. Such a dark place to go, such heart break but that’s life.

To be fair, most dogs given that command in English would promptly ignore it too.

I often find that people who complain about politics in Science Fiction like Trek and Star Wars don’t actually pay attention to the politics in Trek and Star Wars. I mean the complaint about “liberal” politics in the new Star Wars ignores like ALL of the politics in the original series let alone Trek which has had a…

I don’t remember him speaking much French in the show beyond one notable moment where he spoke something that I was shocked made it by S&P merde! What were they thinking?

You want pain, I once went on a trip with my ex-in laws. Lovely people but VERY Welsh. We were travelling through rural Quebec and stopping at a Saint Hubert for lunch (a regional chicken chain).

Not Star Thors: Force Lightning?

Given this will be his second time directing a Star Wars project (did an episode of the Mandalorian) and his second IP the first of which he basically salvaged from a crappy start at the hands of two directors with differing vision and no long term planning I doubt that’s going to happen.

YES!

My condolences to you and your family on their loss.

Here’s the thing, that’s death. It’s the “Shelly Long treatment” or it could also be called “that’s how the world works” treatment. I’ve seen a lot of family die in the last five years and it’s hurt but as often we had warning and deep personal moments it’s also been quick and brutal and without any warning. I’ve been…
