One more thing... the word”YOUNGLINGS” is irksome. Couldn’t they have said like “I’m reading 3 juvenile Gorn on the whathaveyou.” Or hatchlings or something. Younglings makes me think Anakin is going to show up and behead the lot of them.
I’m still not sure why this episode didn’t land as well for me as it should.
This made me realize how much Matt Berry needs to do audiobooks. Like the Iluminatus trilogy or some Pratchett.
This would be perfect. Unreliable narrator Lando telling stories of his adventures over a hand of Sabacc, or picking up items in his house. “Did I ever tell you the time Vuffi Raa almost got me killed on Oseon?” More than the Clone Wars Announcer setting up the episode, less than Drunk History... Like the Princess…
It really felt like the entire show was just setting her up to fill Nick Fury’s shoes. Super Scrull fight... meh, Rhody is a Scrull... don’t care, A president we’ve never met is under attack by fake Russians... I didn’t vote for the guy. Talos and Hill didn’t need to die to set up Queen Anne as the new spymaster, and…
prothetic: of, relating to, or involving prothesis. The gloves resemble hands, but are not in and of themselves replacement hands or prosthetic hands. I think the writer used the right word, it’s just not used as often as the word prosthetic.
You’re probably right. If you see hoof prints think horses not zebras. If you see a social media company on fire think entitlement bred incompetence not strategy.
I still think he is actively destroying Twitter on purpose. It’s a very visible dumpster fire that takes any attention away from anything he’s doing at SpaceX and Tesla, and it’s tanking what was once a great way for the average person to speak truth to power and an extension of the Fourth Estate. He’s not paying any…
This made me want a Simon Peg/Ewan McGregor detective or cold war spy movie.
“What if we used H as a design element. You know H for Hundai.”
“um, ok how exactly.”
The second one lost the scale and weight by making the robots too fast and not keeping the human scale in mind for every shot. I get the whole “What if Voltron, but a bad guy.” but it had so many dead end plot points. It was trying to be everything for everyone and lacked cohesion. The first one had bits that were not…
I have so many questions about this thing. Has this passed any crash tests? If you get into a fender bender how will you get it fixed with it being unibody? With it weighing as much as it does: 1. how safe is that thing to other vehicles, 2. have they figured out the suspension and brakes, and 3. will added weight…
The DM said the Bard was too powerful and made him wear a haunted wig, he’s now at 4 char and hasn’t written a decent song in the past two campaigns.
From the trailer it looks like that sweet spot between unhinged staring into your soul Shin Godzilla and the slowly nerfed over time American Godzilla that keeps shrinking and fighting King Kong.
Tempest Summary:

Prospero’s slave, Caliban, plots to rid himself of his master, but is thwarted by Prospero’s spirit-servant Ariel. The King’s young son Ferdinand,…
Rey to absolutely no-one: “Love... Love will tear us apart... and attachment.”
Padawan: “what?”
Rey again to no-one: “Our 3 principal flaws are Attachment, fear, and love and an almost fanatical dedication to the Jedi order. No... Amongst our flaws... Amongst our flaws are such elements as fear, attach- I’ll come in…
Weird deep cut, but does anyone remember the Ducktails Movie? It was Indiana Jones but with ducks, I remember a giant golden coin/tilting floor balance trap that ended up getting reused in a few live action Indy imitator movies, and even in that part of the third Hobbit movie where they’re fighting on the ice.
Bit by a radioactive ____ universe.
