Yeah.... I’ve heard that it gradually moves forward with the characters. It might also be an old vs new TV problem.... TBBT is built to run forever, and doles its growth out accordingly, while something like Kimmy Schmidt or Master of None could end up in dramatically different places at the end of their first…

I will give the show credit, it occasionally manages to really nail a scene here and there... there was an episode where they fired a laser at the mirror the Apollo astronauts left on the moon, which was completely invisible. They were so excited, clustering around a computer for the bounce back, while Penny and her…

It really is hard to describe succinctly. It’s like someone crossed Wind in the Willows with Romeo and Juliet, Firefly, and Zardoz.

I think what tends to get nerds about TBBT is that other people do watch it and think it is an insight into geeky culture and then recommend it to them constantly. My friend who is a teacher is constantly getting recommended TBBT. So, your point is valid, but I think it is still lost on a lot of people.

Oh yeah.... it always amazed me how it managed to be less in your face geeky than TBBT, but clearly capture what it was to be geeky so much more elegantly.

I started watching the new Cosmos while I exercise, and it’s nice of Tyson to let me know that Carl Sagan was as cool a guy in real life as he was in print.

What bugs me about TBBT is that it has always, consistently, made the laziest possible jokes about every random nerdy/science/geeky thing they talk about. Which is fine in some situations.... making jokes about how you’re always trying to trade Sheep for Wood in Catan probably works just fine for the huge chunk of…

Bravo. You’d need a transporter to stop that guy.

I’m still not sure if I should start the Magicians. It’s like they got the creepiness right, but the imagery completely wrong.

Ah Jessica Jones, how you have changed my response to #10's face.

There were multiple episodes where the Justice League steps on each other’s toes. Which makes sense really... they have vastly different powers and values. Superman is always trying to take one for the team, and Hawkwoman is always trying to break someone’s face without concern for herself. So of course Superman is…

Human shields. I feel like every supervillain should have one of those baby bjorns on at all times. While it might motivate the Justice League, it also means they have to be super careful, and that’s when you get them, you monster.

Like a record baby.

Cats are the Dark Side? Sounds about right.

At least one of them remembered to add in Sting, for the ladies.

So, like... there are shields that you can’t beat with fast moving objects like bullets, so you fight with swords again? Mabye they can do it in a way that doesn’t hurt your eyes like in Dune.

Good luck with finishing it. My girlfriend tried to fire up the original Morrowind, and I was surprised to find that it just keeps hitting you with pages of text, and when you get past that, the combat system is such that you can’t even hit the tiniest of worms.

Heh. I played through as a wizard, mostly because I enjoyed the mages in BG1 and 2, and thus tended to have them as my main character.

Ha. Yeah, I think I prefer K1 too, just because the plotline of the main character feels like it gives you so much more agency. Revan and Malik are just strong characters.... also accidental gameplay choices made that final fight epic, since I forgot to pick up any skills that would let me interfere with Malik’s…

No movie has really captured the amount of ritualistic statue handjobs that happened in real life ancient Egypt.
