Even in TNG you mostly had episodes that stood alone.

I’m pretty confident the Disney+ shows are building towards adapting the original Zahn trilogy (obviously the adaptation will require a lot of work given the difference in the current continuity and age/death of the OT actors [and the challenge it would to digitally recreate the actors for those books as written]).

I take issue with saying that Star Wars’ “dark ages” was a thing of the 90's, particularly the first statement in this article that characterizes the 90's as the dawn of the “dark ages”. Heir to the Empire was released May 1, 1991 and it was #1 on NYT’s best seller’s list by June 30, 1991. The time in the 90's before…

Oooo, I’ve been waiting for modern Star Trek to go back to the Great Barrier (aka, not originally named the galactic barrier) since I first saw “Where No Man’s Gone Before” and was reading through the Star Trek Encyclopedia in the mid-90's.

Saying your use of “criminal” was in the colloquial sense is generous at best. It’s fairly widely known that criminal prosecution results in incarceration and/or government fines while this complaint is clearly asserting a person’s grievance against another with a request for civil damages.

Criminality has nothing to do with it. It’s a lawsuit by one individual against a corporate entity seeking civil damages. It’s not a criminal complaint by the state or feds seeking criminal fines/incarceration. This has nothing to do with criminal law, standards, offenses or penalties. Timmy isn’t (and actually…

I mean, there’s also the fact that Colin and Chet are different people with different biology and different life experiences.

We saw Han and Leia get together over 3 movies, during which we only see a few days (weeks at most).

I’m pretty confident they’re building towards an adaptation of the original (Legends) Thrawn trilogy. Obviously there will need to be substantial revisions to fit it into the current cannon and given the age of the original trilogy actors (and Carrie Fisher’s death).

To solve the problem of US citizens who don’t live in states not having representation in Congress or presidential elections, I’ve also thought about establishing a sort of “global” federal district that covers persons that aren’t residents of states. This “district” could have a single voting representative in the…

In addition to its volatility flattening out, to be taken seriously as a currency, it also needs to stop appreciating. Appreciating currency just means deflation and leads to people hording the currency rather than spending or investing it, which in turn leads to recession.

Moose Knuckle was being sarcastic. “All investment is speculative” is not a deep comment.

Yup...pretty sure if the majority of stocks are down more than 50%, the NYSE Composite would be down a lot more than just 2.54% over the last month.

Please keep responding to magus-21...its been very entertaining.

This is an excellent, highly informed and well written explanation of the difference between fiat currency and crypto “currency”.

Agreed. US Territories should exist for two purposes:

I didn’t have a problem with the Apes escaping in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (Franco’s movie). From the humans’ perspective, it was just some wild animals escaping from a zoo. Remember, humanity only saw them as animals that escaped from a local zoo. Other than a select few, people didn’t know that these apes were…

Commissioning a new (which this effectively is) show happens in stages. Frequently, in the development stages, well before the show is actually picked up, the distributor interested in the show will commission the writing of all scripts for what could be the initial order before actually picking up the show/ordering…

Anakin is a pawn.
