Re: Hermit's Journey Part II

Yes because Lucas has never lied before about planning things ahead of time right? Given these "notes" were published in an appendix to a book published in 2007 you'll excuse me if I don't take the fabrications of a proven liar seriously. lol he's not a "proven liar", did Lucas run over your dog or...

Re: The next Star Trek film may be directed by...

I know Tarantino is a big fan of Star Trek, so that is a plus, but none of his prior films are really Star Trek-ish, if you get what I mean. He also never mader a western before Django Unchained. Which is still a Tarantino film with all the Tarantinoisms. Like I said, he can't do any worse than the...

Re: Hermit's Journey Part II

All this shows it was something Lucas made up on the spot because he thought it was cool and was possibly.... "inspired" by a certain Japanese novel from 1995 which was followed by a videogame in 1998 dealing with mitochondria enabling superpowers in humans. He clearly put no thought into the effec...

Re: The Orville

I dont think they quite thought the implcations of that planet through, in another few months or so they'd have the Q if they're lucky, or the Borg if they're not. I kept expecting the last appearance of the planet to be a nuked husk, but that would've been a downer. Also, nobody in any advanced fut...

Re: The Hermit's Journey. To arms, prequel defenders, to arms!

From whom? The Republic wasn't sending anyone. The Queen had a Transport and a bare handful of supporters with her. The native army was unknown. Local resistance forces were minimal. There's no need to blockade a planet you own and no visible need to field a massive defensive fleet if you don't bel...

Can't get any worse than the one-two punch of awful that was Into Darkness and Beyond. So he might as well give it a shot, maybe the results will surprise us.

Re: The Hermit's Journey. To arms, prequel defenders, to arms!

You do realise a blockade is meant to go both ways, right? Okay, you have the spaceports. What's to stop some other faction from landing batallions of troops elsewhere to scupper your plans then? Especially since the planet has a nominally survivable water core (uhuh) that can be traversed rather ra...

Re: Hermit's Journey Part II

To be honest even on that level I dislike midichlorians because while it would solve the issue of why Force eugenics isn't a thing, I feel there is something fundamentally wrong and cheap with waving a device in front of someone and finding out they are X powerful with the Force. "His midichlorian c...

Re: SG1: Seth

Well there was that one episode where Daniel had a vision of himself with a mind filled with Goa'uld knowledge using that to build new super tech, leading to an array of orbital killsats, leading to Daniel taking over the U.S. government and nuking Moscow because the Russians dared to be a tiny bit ...
