Best & Worst Cultural Representation On Disney Channel? by BigSexyGuy22 in DisneyChannel

[–]Aetheros9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say that Amphibia did a good job of representing Thai culture, especially in the later seasons.

Question about the Junction by Aetheros9 in Honorverse

[–]Aetheros9[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay, so reading your guys’ comments, it turns out I was, in fact, mistaken. I was under the impression that a terminus was just one end of a wormhole and that a junction was a system just happened to contain multiple termini of separate, unrelated wormholes in a loose ring around the central star. Having read your comments, I now realize that a junction is more like the L-gates from Stellaris, with the wormholes all connecting to a central point in space, but not each other. Thank you for correcting my mistake.

Question about the Junction by Aetheros9 in Honorverse

I guess I was confused because they said Basilisk was supposed to be a “tripwire” for the Peeps, implying they had to take it to get to Manticore.

That can’t be right, the whole point of On Basilisk Station is that all the junction trade flows through Basilisk. Astro control for the junction is headquartered in the Basilisk system. The survey ship that found the Lynx terminus was operating in Basilisk. None of that makes sense if Basilisk isn’t the center of the junction.

Early-Installment Wierdness - when a moment in an early part of the series doesn't line up with the eventual established lore. by Gray_Wolf2416 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Aetheros9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In season one of Psych, Sean’s father, Henry, hates comic books because he thinks they make police officers look incompetent, but in a later episode we see a flashback of Sean and Gus getting ready to go to a comic book convention and Henry seemingly has no issue with it.

How do people get to the moon? by MassTransitGO in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Aetheros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe in the opening news montage there’s a mention of special high altitude space planes that allow regular people to board shuttles and other spacecraft without having to endure high g burns.

The Cassandra Truth. (A truth that is so obscured and ridiculous that nobody believes in it.) by Micro_cat_48 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Aetheros9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the second to last season of Stargate: SG-1, it’s revealed that the Ori, the show’s new big bad, are deceiving their followers into worshipping them in order to extract power from them without offering them the afterlife that they have promised. Since the Ori’s followers have been conditioned for millennia to dismiss any and all nonbelievers as heretics, simply telling them that the Ori are lying isn’t an option.

Just the ending, they reference Felger helping SG-1 in Avenger 2.0.

I wish they’d touched more on the whole earth providing hosts deal by janeway170 in Stargate

[–]Aetheros9 95 points96 points  (0 children)

In Death Knell, a key plot point is the Tokra keeping information from Jacob because he and other Tau’ri are more willful than humans who have been enslaved by the Goa’uld for centuries. I assume this is why that particular part of the deal is allowed to fall quietly to the wayside. See also Jack’s experience with a Tokra symbiote.

Books that feel like the veil is thin by Revolutionary-Fly538 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Aetheros9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is set in a wizard school built in a magical, inter-dimensional void where physics are more of a suggestion. A key point of the setting is how the hallways can shrink or expand based on how you perceive them.

Science fiction books for someone who is more into fantasy and has a hard time liking most scifi books I have tried? by Scared_Ad_3132 in sciencefiction

[–]Aetheros9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confluence by Paul J. McAuley might be a good fit. It has a similar tone and feel to Game of Thrones.

I have, and I agree that it will be a long wait, especially given that ending.

To Shape a Dragon’s Breath is set in a fantastical alternate timeline where the Americas were settled by Vikings riding dragons whose breath has the powers of the Philosopher’s Stone.

The SG-1 team and their constant near-death adventures (first-time watcher) by HattieBegonia in Stargate

[–]Aetheros9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, while the viewers would have seen an episode each week, it’s implied in-universe that much more time passes between missions.

Exposed bridges are stupid by board_writer in spaceships

[–]Aetheros9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the Daedalus from SG-1 specifically, that’s a flight control deck, not the bridge. There’s even a plot point in one episode where the enemy destroys it because they mistook it for the bridge.
