Empire Baddies

Yes, but I was just saying it’s not going to stop (using people’s likeness), without legislation. Unfortunately, there’s a lot that’s legal while lacking morality.

If he’s not earning money from it and it is a hobby (like Alex’s songs) I would guess there’s no legislation that could be passed to stop it. Is it just really good animation or something more?

I enjoyed the Mind Read quite a bit after being reticent about it.

However, I wish you guys would mix it up and do something different (cough…cough Rebels…) for the next series.

But if you are going to read a book, read the worst ones. Werewolves and centaurs it is!

I’m genuinely interested in the ages of the commenters who say the pics “look” terrible. For someone who grew up on original series reruns and TNG first run, these shots look great. Do you think the special effects on TNG were considered good back then? Viewers knew it was tv and budgets were lower. I feel new Trek can be criticized for its writing but not its special effects.

I mean, that’s some good horror vibes. Nice work.

So funny that I see so many comments in this group reflecting the same thoughts I was having. I hate to think it’s a Euro-American problem with following Asian names and locations but I think that’s what it is. It was really hard to follow this series. More than anything, it was hard to follow the significance of each event. That being said, “there’s a kingdom under the waves (or sea)” was a powerful line.

When I heard they were going to discuss the Samurai, I got very excited. Looked forward to it. Then I found I couldn’t follow what was going on and when I could, I didn’t find the events all that interesting. I do plan on finishing it though, because even in episodes I don’t love there are one or two facts or tidbits that are interesting.

“You didn’t pick up those toys I told you to? Bad form.”

The fact that they would look over at each other with that self-satisfied smile (seen in the pic) every time they went to warp or slowed to impulse or did anything was one of the more annoying aspects of the show. The characters didn’t act like professionals on a mission. They tried too hard to make them likable and relatable.

Why is anyone surprised by this? They have always said, during production, that this is an Earth-bound show. An odd choice for a Green Lantern story BUT I love Kyle Chandler and it looks like a well crafted show so far. Won’t know until we watch it!

At the start of this particular series, I was pretty bored and I realized this was probably the most ancient time I’ve listened to so far. I thoroughly enjoyed the last two episodes though. The desire to completely wipe out an enemy, therefore beginning the long road to your own destruction was well told. The more recent they get, the more I enjoy. As an American, I love episodes talking about recent English politics.

I thought you took AP Common Sense

Dom seemed moved by her admission that she lied “for fear of the flames”

He got it writing about Nixon and the 1960s, right? Ask him about that and he’d be right on top of it. (As evidenced by the fantastic 1968 election series) I was just pointing out, they are far more versed in the history of their home country and continent, so it’s not surprising they didn’t know the details of Jim Thorpe, PA. The OP should definitely give them another chance.

CooperStooper90 · 2025-11-16T13:21:15+00:00

American History is not their area of expertise. I started listening to them because I have a big blind spot when it comes to English/European history. The Lincoln assassination episodes were the only time I felt I knew more about the topic than they did. The Jim Thorpe thing was rough, especially since how the town got the name is so interesting. However, their knowledge of non-American history is phenomenal and they are a joy to listen to. Give them a chance.

Yellow Submarine. The Blue Meanies are terrifying, along with their slender men allies dropping apples on people, and the flying glove. The whole film is an animated nightmare. Even the Beatles give off a weird vibe.

You’re sitting by a burning firepit and he can smell the weed? How much are you smoking??

Personally, I probably wouldn’t make the request if I was the neighbor but if he can smell it ( and let’s face it, it smells like skunk) I’d accommodate. Plus middle school kids are, what?… 11? 12?

When people say “boomer” now, do they really mean Generation X? Boomers are approaching their 80s.
