Re: Quantum Leap (2022)

I think that the reason given for that leap into Beckett's Civil War ancestor was because of their shared DNA. Personally, I hope they explain away this limitation as it opens up alot of possibilities for storytelling. But I also don't want to see Dr. Song's ancestors having participated in every ma...

Quantum Leap (2022)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTpmMyRUTMM It’s been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project in hope of understanding the mysteries behind the ma...

Re: Biden says right to choose 'fundamental' after leaked document suggests US could allow abortion ban.

I'm hearing alot of "well, they can just go to a state where it's legal -- hurhurhur" The next legal strategy by red states will be to make punishable crossing state lines to obtain abortion services or abortifacient drugs in much the same way certain states are currently making it punisha...

Re: The Influences on D&D... If Made Today

Magic: The Gathering definitely had influence on Dungeons & Dragons and when WOTC purchased TSR, alot of creatures and lore from M:TG went into D&D. When collectible card games (CCG's) first came on the scene in the early 90's, many people thought it would be the death of tabletop RPG's but...

It explains Mando's suit being banged up before the new armor forging scene later on. The Mudhorn becomes his sigil or whatever the Armorer called it.

Terra Firma was very cool. While we don't get a lot of information pertaining to the arc-driven Burn story, we do get a great episode largely centered on Emperor Georgiou. Her "disease of the week" is caused by the fact that she's travelled across both time and dimensions; there's a wonde...

One thing I didn't like about Smudger's edit is that the classic 20th Century Fox logo was replaced with the Star Wars heads from the TV version…also when that fades out, you can catch a couple of frames of “STAR WARS” written horizontally just starting to fade in before it switches to the Lucasfilm...

Guess I was mistaken on Ahsoka's lightsaber handles...they do look like the curved ones she got later on, perhaps she retuned them or put different crystals in to make them white.
