Babylon 5: April Marathon

This is a real treat. I have to wonder at Chuck's assertion in "Interludes and Examinations" that the Vorlons aren't fighting the Shadows openly because they'd lose and, as such, need the alliance with the younger races. That seems really off-base. I'm putting this next section in a different color ...

Re: Andromeda: Under the Night/An Affirming Flame

And was Rhade actually a spy for the Nietzschean? Was this confirmed somewhere? I always got the impression his betrayal of Dylan was a spur of the moment thing. I'm not a faithful follower of Andromeda and it's been a while since I watched, but I definitely remember Rhade saying to Dylan during th...

Re: Discovery: Sound of Thunder

So regarding the Prime Directive issue... Has there ever been a canon exploration (prior to this episode, obviously) of what happens when you have two sentient races sharing the same world? Because the Ba'ul seem to possibly be warp capable, even if the Kelpians are not. So would the PD even apply?...

Re: Equestria Girls - Valentines Day

Anyway maybe the real plot holes were the friends we made along the way. That line. :lol: But yeah, Equestria Girls has a fair amount of plot-holes, big enough to drive Optimus Prime through: -How did Sunset know when the portal would be open again? Did she just try it every day for "thirty moons" ...

Re: MLP Lincoln's Day (?) Show

At the risk of setting off such a heated discussion I would just say that he suggests that the reasons different students fail to learn are diverse, include both motivations for the students and resources, and he certainly seems to admit things like poverty can be at work, I don't think anything he...

Re: MLP Lincoln's Day (?) Show

nand frustration with this kind of thing in this and other shows has only increased since I started watching Bobsheaux who hates this happening in kids' media, especially in the Alpha and Omega film series. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0XPzwmDL_qeZlR4JuX-VLQ also, I've read comments that say s...

Re: MLP Lincoln's Day (?) Show

I was someone who really enjoyed Starlight as a villain in Season 5 (which I consider one of the show's best) and was interested to see how they'd handle her as a recurring regular in Season 6. The results were ... less than enthralling. The biggest missteps with her were: (1) giving us a dynamic wh...

Equestria Girls - Valentines Day

I was not expecting SF to do a look (or, more accurately, for someone to pay SF to take a look) at Equestria Girls, especially not so soon after his last MLP review earlier this week. I suppose it does make sense seeing as it was (supposedly) the popularity of Sunset Shimmer (following her much bett...

Re: MLP Lincoln's Day (?) Show

This was certainly a fun surprise! Season 5 was I think the really last, all-around solid season of the series. It was not flawless ("What About Discord?" and "Scare Master" immediately leap to mind) and there were strong episodes even in overall weak seasons, but after Season 5 things went ... sout...

Re: My Little Pony: Thanksgiving Show 2

I do give it a break since bad stuff can happen randomly, but where is the police or any other authority to help. If you start asking that question, that brings up the question of the effectiveness of the Canterlot Royal Guard in times of crises and woooooo boy .... those guys make Starfleet Securi...
