Bizarre corpse cult stuff. I recently visited Rome and the corpses put on display are just freaky.

We can’t build a big enough of a telescope to properly see lightyears away.

But Hammond proudly mentioned multiple times how they spared no expenses

In those days soldiers usually paid for their own equipment, so you had what you could afford. A king or other important person might pay for their bodyguards’ stuff, but armies were self-funded.

It’s indeed not great for the Brian Herbert prequels that are supposed to portray a tumultuous time period when major shifts in power should occur, but in the main timeline of the saga the changelessness is justified by the sheer stagnation of the Empire, and how much effort the shadowy cabals of the Spacing Guild and…

It was strongly implied, he was explicitly confirmed to be a Wizard, at least.

Funny, I thought that Fallout’s one noticeable problem was the too plastic-y sets.

The title presumably refers to Gandalf and Aragorn hunting down Gollum in order to figure out where the Ring came from, which is a minor subplot in the book that the films more or less omitted.

Wireless systems don’t require any kind of physical robots, period. Those are not what robotic devices are for. No amount of digital advancement will scrub your toilet, dust your corners, carry the injured and the elderly, dig people from collapsed buildings or do any of the million human tasks that you take for…

As long as there are humans and environments designed humans first, the robots designed to operate in them require a humanoid form. Of course if a robot is only specialised for one specific task it can be optimised to be any shape that’s most effective for the single task, but a general robot that can do any task…

Human environments require humanoid robots. Our infrastructure is built for two legs and two arms. If we want a robot that can go around and do human chores unimpeded, it needs to be pretty much human-shaped. 

Arcane had the best compromise, I think, releasing the series in three episode blocks. 

Mariko wasn’t supposed to die, the Shinobi were trying to restrain her and carry her away, presumably to be secretly imprisoned until Toranaga had been dealt with. Ishido wanted to prevent her from dying so that she couldn’t become a martyr and instigate a rebellion with her death. 

“Maybe” is the original, granddaddy Fallout song. That’s what played in the opening of the very first Fallout in 1997. 

I haven’t seen She-Hulk, but Daredevil’s original costume from the comics was yellow, so most likely it was a reference to the character’s history. 

If I remember correctly, Slimer was supposed to be a more primitive manifestation, either a spiritual remnant of a person whose all but lost their human side, or a ball of psychic energy that never was human to begin with. 

If the Librarian ghost all the way from the first film is any indication, a ghost can look either way depending on its mood, normal when peaceful, monstrous when aggressive.

The kid will be a couple of years older before the first season is in the can, most likely. 

Anakin literally marched to the Jedi Temple leading the 501st Legion He wasn’t fighting the clones, they were under his command.

The clones didn’t butcher Anakin on sight, but instead obeyed his orders, so clearly there was a way to mark the (former) Jedi who would not be killed during Order 66.
