Pontifex (G/O Fuck yourself, Spanfe||er)'s discussions

I’m pretty sure Tyranny was also made by Obsidian. 

Thank you.  I needed this.

I read an interview a while ago that the Maslany quadruplets were actually the inspiration behind The Prestige, although Nolan ended up cutting it down to twins because four of them was too far beyond belief. 

I know some people have trouble with the show at the beginning; that’s one of the ones (along with Root Cause) that I like to use to introduce people.

Damn, that’s such a great fucking show.

He’s gonna need more than Band Aids. Read more

Presumably because it’s a lot easier to find an ASL coach than a JSL coach. Would it be better to have the sign equivalent of a conlang expert design this? Yes, although I’d imagine that sort of expertise would be even more difficult to find. Given that her character created the language from whole cloth (and… Read more

Ooh, an F review! This should be good... Read more

I think they can go somewhere decent with it. I’m assuming that Neuman is a Vought agent intended to shape and direct public opposition in a useful way.A lot of the things Vought did this season involved trying to hide behind progressive positions; most of them were just hilariously bad/transparent attempts (Girls get… Read more

I think it has to be B.

So she’s definitely working for Edgar, right? 

I think the cat was out of that bag with the final scene of season 4.

Nemesis Games is considered the best book in the series by a lot of fans. It’s worth getting back into (the audio books are also well done).

The season was in the can well before the allegations came out; I’d imagine they’re waiting to announce season 6 until they figure out what to do with him. The latest updates are compiled here:

At a guess, everyone who liked the original show. Beast Wars Dinobot is frequently regarded as the best character.

I was really hoping you were talking about a new show...

The storylines are still solid (particularly seasons 2 & 3), but the whole thing does look like it was rendered on an N64. Then again, the CG is so bad that it passes through the other side of the uncanny valley, so there’s a plus.
I’d love to see them re-master it with new CG but the same audio. 

I really want to see a feathered Megatron. 

The only thing good about Beast Machines was the continued character growth of Cheetor from the kid character into a proper leader. If they eventually remake/re-adapt Beast Wars, I hope they include that.
