It's kind of refreshing that the show jumps straight from plot point to plot point without slogging through the football season but there's a lot to tie up still. Georgia game, playoffs/heisman/football future, wife affair, Ricky, heart attack, roommate. It's almost too much that I suspect Russ...

No, you need to put in the code, which means you need to install the game.

It's basically everything except the current level 140-150 quest/raid zones. There's also a sale for two of the not included zones (1 quest and 1 raid) for 99lp each so you can get almost everything super cheap. Not included are Brawler and Mariner classes or other things that came with buying...

Launcher also says transfer off the now closed 32-bit servers is back again. Good for those drawn back by the free content coupon but missed the prior transfer window. Looks like they're also offering free 64to64 transfers to the third/newest servers in each region.

Two episodes in and it's basically Temu Gangs of New York set in Dublin and with homosexuality. The sad thing is it's not the worst thing I've watched this year so I'll probably finish it. The fenian chick is good looking so hopefully the nudity warning on every episode but has yet to actually...

Yeah, LOTRO is kind of an anomaly for MMOs. It's an 18 year old game still driven by the journey, the story, and the world. It doesn't need new mechanics or game systems at its age. A bunch of (hopefully) interesting quest lines and locations along with a modest power increase to ease you out of...

I would argue we're getting closer and closer to "low cap fishing vessel" type space already. Bezos sent Katy Perry and his wife up and it doesn't get much more adolescent and retarded than that. With a mostly proven AI "mother" running things and at least one synth/cyborg to provide local...

I think all the hybrids must have wifi. The security guy told Slightly and Smee they watched their eye feed and it was a surprise which wouldn't be if they had to physically download that once they returned. Curly and one of the other kids were present for the vivisection and didn't appear to...

I think it's supposed to be a couple decades before Alien 1, potentially after the ship left earth though so they would have no knowledge of what happens in this show. It actually has the potential to clear things up for 1 & 2 as to why/how Ash and Bishop had prime directives to preserve the...

They never gave a real clear shot of the surgical suite but it appeared they were doing normal life saving surgery on the brother, removed a collapsed lung, hooked up the removed lung to life support, and then put the alien tadpole in with the lung. I guess this allows them to keep the actor...

I'm curious what the deal with the medic is. Nothing about the story thus far shows any real value for individual lives. Other than being Wendy's brother he's completely expendable. Why extract a lung instead of just letting the Allen impregnate him normally. I suppose he's leverage over Wendy...

My guess for nibs is not that she's infected by the eye but rather she can't come to grips with having a synth body. The eye alien was just a trigger for her to notice her eye isn't human. Nibs body isn't her body so she'll self mutilate. It the writers are especially sinister she'll willingly...

Didn't they show the dead real child in the hybrid creation montage? I agree there should be a goal of copy without destroying original but I'm willing to enjoy what they've presented here as a first step and all the ethical questions it poses.

Agree. The preteen hybrids present a ton of opportunity for interesting plot. I'd bet the writers are using the aliens as mcguffins anyway with the "alien" being just one xeno present and the intro talked about the synth, cyborg, hybrid battle for immortality and nothing about aliens.

There's diversity but it's almost all background characters. Wendy, medic brother, Timothy, Boy prodigy, dame mother and other scientists are all white. The other hybrids are a mixed bag but more whiteish than not. Asian yutani is to be expected and I had no problem with the black cyborg...
