Re: Fallout: The Series

I did a review of the show in my "The Guy in the Corgi Shirt" persona with a fellow post-apocalypse author.

Re: Are Seasons 1 and 2 of Star Trek: Picard Now Considered Noodle Incidents?

While I do not care for Discovery, I do consider everything but the Burn and Section 31 being publically known canon... mostly cause the Burn is too stupid for me to process and Section 31 is meant to be SECRET. Picard... none of it. Section 31 is no longer public at the end of DISCO 2 because it's...

Re: Fallout: The Series

Honestly if they want to constantly hit the reset button so that the wasteland never organizes and stops being a lawless wasteland after hundreds of years in defiance of human nature then having villains deliberately do it on purpose is a pretty cool idea. Having it happen five minutes after the ga...

Re: Fallout: The Series

My issue in the context of what I do know about the games is that it kinda downplays what was evil about the NCR to now just present it's end as some great tragedy. It feels like I'm in a parallel reality where all the fandom sided with NCR when I'm like, "Independent Mojave Forever." Of course the...

Re: Fallout: The Series

Also funny it getting compared to New Vegas when apparently from what I heard the show goes out of it's way to de-canon New Vegas and generally make some choices to undo the local developments that threatened to move past Bethesda's prefered status quo. Emil, the lead writer of Fallout, has stated ...

Okay here's one. Kirk and the crew have found a new nebula that shakes up the ship. Kirk is injured, and taken to Sick Bay, where he sleeps for a day and than awakes. When he does so... Doc McCoy doesn't recognize him, and considers him a supposed stoaway. Kirk is beyond confused, and as he's sent ...

Re: Hypothetical TOS Season 4

Let's play a game. Create a new TOS episode for Season 4. The rules are be mindful of the budget so no big SFX heavy stories. That this is a product of its time, so a story more in line with 1969-1970. No cheating by using future Trek episodes. You do have use Kirk alot due to Shatner's ego. The re...
