I know this isn’t the point at all, but I find it so odd to have LeBron play himself and then invent a fictional son for him.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up (and it was indeed Barsanti). But I found no “pearl clutching”. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes—not to mention that the Justice League animated series effectively introduced the OG seven members of the League in something like 60 minutes—and they all had *far more* personality (and humanity) than any of their Snyder counterparts.

And Young Justice!

Back in the 4th episode’s comments I said:

This was another dumb episode. So what was Osyra’s plan?

It’s just, it feels like the writers were in such a hurry to get to this moment that they didn’t quite do the necessary work to justify it.

I always remember that the DS9 writers wanted a romance between Dukat and Kira, and that even good writers can have terrible, terrible, terrible ideas. And Disco’s writers are quite a bit less good than DS9's were.

YES! There are WHOLE PLANETS FULL OF PEOPLE who probably want to be able to go back to interstellar travel sometime soon. On all of these planets are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACTUAL SCIENTISTS. There would be an unimaginable drive to find out what the fuck happened and why, but instead the show would like us to…

So what did everybody think of Lower Decks? I think it’s the best Trek since DS9 and the best first season of a Trek show since either TOS or ever. I’m deeply Internet Outraged that the AV Club didn’t cover it.

Kevin Uxbridge is big on decluttering.

The thing with good science fiction and good fiction in general is that there are rules and logic in their made up stuff

But in this case, it’s also a dig at its predecessor, a repudiation of Johnson’s attempt to break free of the past and take the narrative in a new direction

* Takes KotOR 2 and backs out the door, slowly *

The overall plot of II is really about the Exile’s emotional journey, and canonically at least, back to the light and to restoring the order. There’s so many things the game’s story is commenting on: depression/mental illness, the aftermath of devastating wars, trauma, survivor’s guilt, nihilism, etc.

“If there’s a tragedy to Knights Of The Old Republic, it’s that the game’s never been topped, even by its successors. Knights Of The Old Republic II...”

“Give us 50% of the budget, get 50% of the profits, benefit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s tie-ins and near universal popularity. Sound fair?”

Would it kill anybody to get Jeffrey Combs to voice the Question?

“Arnold Schwarzenegger made plenty of shit films too, and he is clearly the model Johnson is patterning his career after.”

has someone ever shot 10 darts at you? they really hurt. especially if those shields are down for maintenance. and don’t even talk about body armour. the Ba’ul are all oily and slick and gross, can you imagine what a huge mess they would make if they wore some steel plates and shit?
