Re: Dragon Age II: EA boogaloo

While the writing comes off as a bit cheesy, I really like the Characters, Relations between them, the World Building and the overall Story-arc. Wouldn't ever play it myself, I love Chucks Reviews/Plays of this game - it lets us non-gamers explore that cool stories we otherwise wouldn't see. Dragon ...

Re: Ent:Detained (aka, Fornicating Recta of the World, Unite!)

Kinda surprised that Chuck used so much politics in this review, caught me off guard a bit. Sometimes I think he is a bit over-analyzing things :lol:

Re: Star Trek (DS9): The Sound of Her Voice

I liked this episode the first time I saw it, but the last time I watched it, I got really irritated by something. It was so obvious to me that it became grating more and more throughout the episode: Captain Cusak is very much a Mary Sue. I mean, think about it. She's this great and awesome person,...

Re: The Abortion Debate

You do realize, that an abortion is, generally, about avoiding having a child to begin with? That may be how some people treat it, but that not what the ethics of abortion are about. Virtually nobody thinks parents should be able to kill their children whenever they get tired of them. These Ethics ...

Re: Star Trek: Discovery - thoughts?

I've been told that the Orville seems to scratch that old-school itch, feeling very much like a Trek show where they're not following the elite flagship of the Federation but the average joes in the rest of starfleet. Not that I can comment personally. In the UK we have Discovery on Netflix but no ...

Re: Star Trek: Discovery - thoughts?

I think as a an old-timer that grew up watching TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT as they aired the first time in TV (And has them all on VHS (Just TNG), DVD and Blue-Ray :oops:), it looks like I just have been too set in my "Star Trek" Ways. If I read Star Trek, I want my Tropes that I have had since the early...

Re: B5: Severed Dreams

Yeah, you're probably smarter than I am for that. But I'm a history major and I can't help sinking my teeth into things when I feel like there's more to add or flesh out. For what it's worth, I really enjoy reading your posts that analyse that stuff. Please keep it up, they are part of the reason t...

Re: Deep Space Nine help...

If he likes Bottle-Episodes, I also would suggest 'Duet'. A very strong episode, and gives you a nice feeling of DS9 - and how it is different from TNG. If he is more of an action guy, your Idea with the two parter "Way of the Warrior" is actually good: He is familiar with Klingons, and there is Wor...

Why did the alien dressed up as nazi?
That you really know who the Bad Guys are ;).


I found the Episode pretty boring, as most Trek Episodes with Nazis are.
