The dull nature of the romance is a good point to chain off of. This video says quite a bit about it in part four. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5uf1bkQQ-s It makes good points in general, but makes an excellent point about the acting in the prequels. These are good actors and there are many scen...

The prequels were not horrid, but they did lack something. After a lot of research the conclusion I came to is George Lucas didn't have anyone being harsh with him in the editing room. This is somewhat illustrated by this video

I think they need to slow down the time jumps and move around geographically rather than historically the further you get from the apocalypse the less sense the setting makes. American places Miami, Seattle, New Orleans, and Chicago (Update the Midwest BoS) seem to be fan favorites. I would like to ...

I did some measurements and I think I have the ships size now I used this image to determine a portion of the ship that could be seen during the space walk EVA and from another picture of he whole ship. https://imgur.com/cwtSr6u The reinforcement on that structure seems to be about 2 meters. Measuri...

My roommate is a history teacher. Children are getting to highschool with a horrid grasp of history. This has a severe impact on their ability to think critically about the context of modern problems.

Well look at marijuana law. It exposed what happens when political leaders try to keep oppressive laws on the books. They demonize an issue and convince voters to vote out of fear. They make extreme claims about the consequences of accepting a tolerant viewpoint on the issue. If they evidence doesn'...

you could write an encyclopedia on the number of ways Roy Moore is a piece of shit. Very true It would take volumes, and most of those were recently in the news. Back to you original subject. In 1994 Bill Clinton enacted the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) policy. Some have argued that Bill Clinton did...

Romulan Republic asked for a something more specific example of a Democrat that had done something shady. If you want a Republican example I'd be glad to give one. Roy Moore, has been a shining example of everything a politician and in fact a human being should not be. His 1993, 10 commandments cont...

I was reading a crossover fic and it made me wonder what the scale was of the Zetan mothership. I'm having trouble figuring out what size it is I think I could load up the game and give a measuring it a shot but thought I'd check and see if anyone has already done this. I saw several attempts to mod...

Democrat leadership like Keith Ellison is an example. . He is tied to Louis Farrakhan who has referred to Jews as cockroaches, as Satan, and as his enemy. A man who has said Adolf Hitler was “a very great man.” He attended a dinner in Iran with him in sept of 2013 He met privately with him in 2016 w...

So are you arguing that based on party alone we should elect into office people with a proven track record of selling their vote to the highest bidder? I don't think putting party loyalty above both common interest and self interest is smart. I'm not a Republican I can' vote in a primary because I d...

II don't think you can pick a politician by party anymore. You have to judge them by their actions. Look at what legislation they vote for and who they take the most money from. Votes to deregulate protections for internet customers while taking money from Comcast? Regardless of party they are no lo...

For me the central issue has never been Conservative versus Liberal. Those two belief systems become twisted into a false dichotomy where all things are divided between Liberal or Conservative. Both political parties are dangerously Authoritarian which opposes the Libertarian views that I believe ar...

I am picturing the amusing image of pirates raiding the wrong convoy and ended up saddled with tankers of waste. What about a plot seed where said tankers are being attacked by Tyranids. They seek Biomatter and could use it as a food source meanwhile agri-worlds are willing to pay a premium to get r...

In Solo, Maul seems to be high up in a criminal organisation, likely their leader. In Rebels, Maul was on his own. So any future Maul movie is likely to be Maul's fall from Solo to being on his own :D Still, he was completely unnecessary for this movie. He could have been replaced by a faceless hol...

I liked it. I don't agree that the acting was bad. I do agree that it was released too close to The Last Jedi. I do think they could have held a few things for another film. The rematch with lando for example.

This is a neat idea. The 90's dirty and edgy feel sort of killed the idea of a comics line ending with a happily ever after. I like the idea of not every end of the age of heroes scenario having to be like Marvel 2099 or Kingdom Come.

I have been a fan of this site for a long time. I was a long time lurker and big Star Wars vs. Star Trek fan. Despite this, I never joined until posts like this drew me in. Zor, your more serious RAR posts are thought provoking. As a RPG player and GameMaster, they've given me ideas I've spun off fo...

I have been thinking about how to frame my thoughts on the Last Jedi. I don't consider it a bad movie, but there are fundamental issues that hurt it. Most of these issues stem from problems in the Force Awakens. These issues diminish what could have been a great movie to simply a mildly positive cin...

About 50 ly from the IS near the Federated Suns/Draconis Combine border I believe this would put The People's Commonwealth well outside the Clan invasion corridor. We would be near or within the Outworlds Alliance It is militarily strong but economically weak. It also is under pressure from those op...
