My God. That soliloquy by Luthen at the end. Holy shit. People will be using that for dramatic auditions for years. Mon Mothma as she literally shakes in a combination of anger and fear.

So we're less than a month from this travesty. Is the core plotline still "oh hai, so we are back from the dead....let's go on a tropical adventure to some islands for the fuck of it?"

The 3D for the original was spectacular. I mean it was impressive enough that it spawned a whole decade of post-converted 3D premium releases. I will want to see this in the theater because of this showmanship, but I nevertheless assume this will bomb badly.

They filmed it two years ago? Sheesh

This game is silly addictive. If you like Privateer or FTL then this thing is for you

The whole bit with the Dizonites was an interesting bit of world building back story. That the Imperials simply committed genocide against a sentient species rather than change or modify their plans for a refueling depot is fairly chilling. This is just 14 years after the end of the Clone...

He says "they made a mistake" so I took it that they typically put them back into a different facility entirely or in a separate wing or something like that. I suppose they could scramble their memories or something like that, but its clear that they knew it was a big nono hence why they...

Everything about the prison... my god. Andy Serkis is hammering it out of the park as Kino. I was thinking "with only 12 episodes It amazing that they are spending all these episodes on this Prison..." and then I realized that we only just got to the prison during Episode 8 last week. I...

They actually posted the entire first episode to YouTube last week in an effort to remind people that this exists...

The Sith Lord was a very nice episode. Also good that they got Liam Neeson and Ian McDiarmid to do the voices. The guy they had doing Palpatine for most of the animated stuff was pretty decent but nothing quite compares to the smoothly malevolent intonations of the OG.

That prison is a dystopian mindfuck of epic proportions. The whole business with the sentencing doubling and their eagerness to hear how outraged everyone on the outside would be only to be crushed when Cassian said he'd never heard of it. No wonder that guy committed suicide.

In all the hubbub I forgot the rumor that Dr Who was moving to Disney+ for everywhere but the UK

They asked both him and also the actress who played the 2nd Doctor companion Polly and both turned them down.

You can just jump in with Doc 14

The Chibnall era is going to be talked about for a long long time. Of all the things he did I'm most pleased with the Fugitive Doctor and sincerely do hope that we get a couple of specials or something down the road with Jo Martin really having a chance to show us all she's got. I'm also...

It was nice that...

I guess I never noticed the lack of a skin earning mechanic in OW2. I realize that this game is just not for me as I'm not a PVP team shooter kinda person even though I find the overall setting and aesthetic rather compelling. I mostly just hop on and play through a bot match to get a taste of...

Lower Decks being a completely faithful Star Trek show with some actual bite to some episodes has been one of the most remarkable things about this new era of Trek. It honors the stories and world building of the main series in a irreverent-yet-also-reverential way that is just damn smart.

Necrobump as New Tales of the Borderlands came out today. Still early going, but it definitely has the feel of the original. Will be interesting to see if it shares it's same spirit all the way through. The main crux of a scientist who makes a non-lethal not-gun-device that nevertheless...

The end of this week's episode certainly puts a twist on things...

Saw this on HBO Max and thought I'd give it a shot. Was a really fun movie and they made some very smart choices with the casting. Kate McKinnon, Thomas Middleditch, Natasha Lyonne, Diego Luna, etc on top of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. The Warner Brothers animation dept is still...

Even in Phantom Menace refuses Republic Credits and demands 'real money'. If it makes you feel better they would likely be spending their wages there on Aldani and it was shown that the Aldani were looked down on as a primitive people. Doubt those people walking around with goat skins would...

I was glad we got some wizard-on-wizard action...though they do seem to spend a lot of time throwing wizards against walls.

Scorn is out today. Looks really creepy but is still under review embargo at the moment.

Daniel Weyman got 20x more dialogue in this episode than he had in the previous 7 combined. The motivation for Galadriel seemed a bit off, but she seemed to be trying to link to a greater good and the whole astral dream sequence ties in nicely with her chat with Frodo a few thousand years...

I will laugh my ass off if they end the season with no resolution of the whole Stranger business. The 4 proto-hobbits setting out last episode made it look like a 'lets walk to season 2' situation.

I finally got caught up by just skipping any scene with Theo in it (the mere sight of his face makes me cringe) and am now ready for the finale. The one thing I'm still fuzzy on is the identity of Slim She-dy. I was buying the whole 'oh they are just Easterlings but now lilly white because...

I even like that they went Phantasy Star-like with a futuristic setting many hundreds of years after Torchlight 2. I would have eviscerated the story team, however, as its a combination of Sephiroth fanfic and annoying anime tropes.

They said in the most recent episode that his destination is 'about 10 leaps ahead' which is pretty much saying 'he will get there by the end of the season finale....'

Yeah this is the absolute weakness of Pathfinder -- it is open-ended enough to allow for a myriad of character concepts, but some of the synergies are so strong (and so suited to a CRPG format) that you are effectively castrating yourself by not using them.

Well this is out now....annnnd its complete pay-to-win mobile based garbage. This is a shame as they clearly have the art design and skill necessary to make a great action game, but instead its just full of 'season pass / buy sim bucks!' crap.

So.... I'm still watching BUT I mostly just fast forward through the 'of the week' adventure and just watch the stuff with Addison / Magic / Ian / etc. in the 'present'. Its a case where the 'mystery box' has me hooked but I find I don't give a rats ass about Ben.

Playing through DL3 has given me a chance to experiment with lots of different builds owing to the different Tailwinds bonuses and there are definitely some that are better than others...by a large margin. Kineticist is crazy strong, especially if you go Fire/Fire as you get a combo blast that...

It's weird because I really do like Diablo-style action RPGs but the statement above about this (and Lost Ark) feeling hollow hits the mark. This absolutely should be my kinda game and yet i felt nothing when playing it.

Someone pointed out that Christopher Plummer was the final TOS villain in Undiscovered Country and his daughter Amanda Plummer is the final villain here. Very poetic Also the Enterprise -F from Star Trek Online being featured here and made canon is pretty damn sweet. Nice tip of the hat...

Looks like a nice sendoff. I'm eager to see the capstone to the Next Gen crew before they Kelvinize them

So is the entire plotline (yeah yeah I know) just 'lets go holiday on the Dragon Isles'?
