Re: Babylon 5: No Compromises

Sheridan's Monologue about good leaders. Boy did that age badly, especially before the background of Boxleitner's political orientation. Has he ever made a statement about January 6th or anything into that territory? I'm not familiar with Boxleitner's politics, and a bit of googling only gave me so...

Re: Caretaker (VOY)

I feel like there was a much simpler way for the writers to have the dilemma without all the obvious ways in which they could have both destroyed the array and gone home. All they had to do was establish that their weapons don't work there. Have someone draw a phaser when they first arrive only to h...

Password reset / Registration emails not being sent

I was locked out of my account for a while, and while I tried using the password reset, it never sent me an email to complete the process. It has worked for me in the past, and I checked my spam folder with no luck there. It just wouldn't send anything. I also tried creating a new account with a dif...

Re: Single Fix Idea for First Jurassic World Movie

Personally, I think the best fix for Jurassic world would have been to not have the dinosaurs escape, focus on showing off the dinosaur park, cut the runtime in half, and release it as Jurassic world, the imax experience. But if we're really trying to salvage the movie by just tweaking the script a ...

Re: Babylon 5: The illusion of Truth

That would be really easy to get around, though. You lie to the guy doing the interviews. So when he tells them everything is on the up and up he's being perfectly honest. You mean by lying about having Lyta nearby? I think Hammerofglass is suggesting ISN could have lied to the reporter they sent. ...

Babylon 5: The illusion of Truth

I love and hate this episode. It's enjoyable, and a bit exaggerated, but it is also frustrating and far more believable than it should be. One thing that occurs to me when watching this review right after the last one is that they probably should have hired Lyta. Ensuring that both parties are actin...

Re: Babylon 5: Epiphanies

Possibly telepaths don't need to develop effective theories of mind, since they so often just sense what they're thinking and feeling. It's a little bit like lacking proprioception - like drunks being asked to close their eyes and touch their noses with their extended arms without visual feedback. ...

Re: JLU: The Greatest Story Never Told

I've always wanted to see Booster Gold and The Question get a series together. I feel like they could play off each other quite well. They're incredibly different, having almost nothing in common in the way of powers, backgrounds, motivations or methods of solving problems. But they're also both out...

Re: VOY - Extreme Risk

Look at it this way, if you were a parent with access to a holodeck, would you ever bring your kid into a program like the one in a fistful of datas? A program where there are characters that are absolutely ready to assault, kidnap, and murder your child? Bear in mind, Alexander's parents were Klin...

Re: VOY - Extreme Risk

Of course, the fact that the holodeck even needs safety protocols is ridiculous. I mean, do we really need to program adversaries in simulations to try to actually want to hurt and kill you, with weapons that actually will unless the holodeck pulls its punches at the last second? Why? Wouldn't it m...
