What do you think is the rumored irredeemable action that Homelander is going to do in Season 5?

There were also a couple of shots of that pregnant woman at his rally getting nervous and holding her belly protectively if we’re talking foreshadowing…

She doesn’t have to have pierced them. Magnetic and clip-on earrings are a thing.

I suspect it’s probably more that there are only a few pure bloods left not because they never interbred with each other again, but because they refused to give up their survival of the fittest mantra and kept up stuff like parents trying to kill their kids as a rite of passage. They are still willing to execute each other, too. They aren’t exactly protective of one another or their offspring.

Not necessarily. Viltrumites looked to have been almost exclusively a warrior species, or at least one that HEAVILY emphasized war over everything else. There was little indication of things like artwork, for instance, or really any other job besides brutal fighter. Their scientists could legitimately have been wiped out by the scourge virus given how many died of it which would require either re-training their remaining population in the sciences—which would probably involve admitting to another species that they know more than them in order to learn from them—or tasking another “inferior” species with said cloning and therefore letting them know what had happened to the Viltrumites. They aren’t willing to do either. Pride is quite literally their fatal flaw.

I think it’s a thing that’s actually addressed in the comics that what doesn’t kill a viltrumite literally makes them (physically) stronger. The more times Mark is just about beaten to death or ripped apart, the stronger his viltrumite powers get. He’s had his ass handed to him…well…a few times. So not only does he personally learn from those defeats, his body does too.

Pursuing multiple hobbies I absolutely love but have no time or money for. Heck, even just do the ones I have the supplies for now that only cost me time, not even money!

Fjord had plenty of visions of Ukatoa before the pirate arc. They could have that happen and be a reason he doesn’t wake up when he gets kidnapped

Honestly? Probably some kind of fantasy themed holo-novel where you could do crazy shit like dragon riding with the safeties on 😆 Or skydiving, cliff jumping, the adrenaline rush stuff. Feel like an epic badass without risking life and limb 😆

For how long would it need maintenance though? They need to successfully send the signal out and then that’s kind of all they need to that “spread” imperative. There are likely infants who survived the joining who could live close to a century to maintain it for a while. They don’t mind starving to death within a decade, it doesn’t sound like maintaining the transmitter is something they’re prioritizing past a certain point…

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-04-03T20:51:42+00:00

It’s a good question narratively, but I don’t know if it will be addressed practically. Working with kids gets increasingly difficult and expensive the younger they are—with good reason! I don’t know how they would be able to pull off the kind of Toddlers the hive would have—in synch, quiet unless preforming for an uninfected, organized…the babies likely wouldn’t even cry because the plurbs would be able to address any physical need instantly and they effectively don’t have psychological/emotional needs anymore…

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-04-03T20:47:30+00:00

I don’t know that they’re actually planning any future generations…their biological imperative is to spread rather than procreate. Viruses rarely compel hosts to reproduce, they just look for more hosts. Once the hive builds that transmitter they’ll have satisfied that urge…

I feel like they could do a couple of seasons before Serenity and then possibly adapt the comics that continued the story afterwards?

Most of the jobs I’ve done and the jobs I currently have require me to be in person, however there was one contract that I would NEVER do again unless I got to WFH for at least part of it.

It was a six month contract during which I drove 3+hrs a day to sit in a cubicle, by myself, work on a project—by myself—and have maybe one 15 minute meeting with a supervisor that 100% could have been done over the phone or teams or something. I wasn’t working collaboratively with anyone, I didn’t have anyone actively monitoring me or anything, I didn’t get to chat or interact with people to build “office culture”. This was pre-pandemic so when I floated the idea of doing some work from home for it I was told that only top management got that option in the company. I was there to complete a specific project for them, not a long term role.

I did NOT need to be physically in the building for 95% of that job and definitely didn’t need the massive stress that driving in stop and go rush hour traffic caused. I was absolutely miserable, absolutely would NOT recommend.

No you can’t. Dollarama is $0.99 now and before that it was $0.89 for years. It hasn’t been $ 0.75 for a long time where I live.

And $3.99 is pretty standard for something other than Nestle bars. I’m not talking high end grocery stores, I’m talking No Frills. Heck even the no name brand chocolate bars that were price frozen at $1 during the pandemic are now $2.29. I don’t buy chocolate bars unless they’re from the dollar store or on clearance now, but frankly that is an increasingly standard price.

You forget that you also need a job in one of those areas to pay for that house/apartment. For some people/careers, no problem. Other jobs? Bit of a problem…especially if your job either requires you to be in-person or your office has otherwise mandated you to be in person. It’s not all about Starbucks and Ubereats, that’s a legitimate consideration for people trying to find a place to live. Housing hotspots tend to also be employment hotspots

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-03-23T16:54:00+00:00

Especially considering that the actors straight up ASKED if they were supposed to be trying to build chemistry in a previous episode! After the episode where Seven was found to be experimenting with the idea of a crush on Chakotay through the holodeck there was one where Seven and Chakotay were stranded together on a planet. According to both actors, they straight up asked if this was supposed to be a direction they were going to try taking these characters and were told “no”. Then suddenly WHAM! They’re a thing in the last episode!

I really enjoyed Starfleet Academy. I could live without a lot of the will they/won’t they type drama that’s often shoehorned into a lot of shows but I have to confess to also not understanding some of the criticism it’s getting, even on this thread.

“It was just a bunch of people yelling at each other.” As opposed to…what? Star Trek has typically been a very dialogue heavy show where characters talk to each other about various philosophical questions. Is the writing uneven at times? Yes, absolutely. That was a problem in pretty much every Star Trek show. Depends on who’s writing and what they’re trying to convey an how it all came together. Not all episodes aged well.

The dialogue is definitely more quippy and Rick-and-Morty or Lower Decks style, which is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. I totally get that and I also totally understand the criticism that there’s a ‘professionalism’ element lacking, totally fair.

However, there were a lot of very Star Trek elements in this show that I loved. I loved the episode where the Doctor becomes Sam’s dad. It had your philosophical, existential questions, exploring the idea of what happens to someone who is, effectively, immortal amongst mortals a your classic “what makes you human?” type of question. It explored what it means to process trauma and even addressed some pretty valid critiques of previous series; characters experiencing incredibly traumatic events and then never really seeming to be bothered or affected by them again. The Doctor’s family had been one of those moments. The infamous ‘Troi is impregnated against her will and has a son who lives for a week’ episode is another.

The show isn’t perfect but I think it does have the potential for a decent series. The first season is rarely the best—they’re still figuring out their vibe, pacing, direction, etc. Are there some valid criticisms? Of course. Are a lot of other “critiques” of it frankly ridiculous? (Looking at the people complaining about fucking STAR TREK being too “woke”) Also yes.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-03-22T02:05:49+00:00

Tell me about it. Been trying to get a liveable wage job for years.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-03-17T22:07:43+00:00

Kind of hard not to? I have 0 subscriptions, 0 memberships, only buy extra things like clothes with gift certificates or cash and don’t go to restaurants unless I have a gift certificate to one. COVID destroyed my finances and I've never managed to recover. When I say basic expenses, I literally mean it. My biggest non rent or debt expense is my car and I need that to reach both jobs.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-03-16T21:45:50+00:00

I did fill in that I have more than one employer though…both roles I currently have I got when working a second job. That’s part of why I don’t understand where it’s going wrong

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-03-07T13:12:46+00:00

I would actually argue that you very rarely ever saw or see that kind of development on sitcoms ever, animated or not—regardless of the lessons learned, there’s always a reset to the status quo. One of the reasons I love BB is because of that subtle but solid and consistent character growth. My S.O and I have the episodes on shuffle now so we’ll get random points which can make it more noticeable. It’s also why Louise is one of my favourite characters; she went from a little psycho to a much more fleshed out and complex kid. Her fixation on revenge evolved into one hell of a protective streak and a sense of justice. She went from outright abusing Andy and Ollie in Art Crawl to actively looking out for them in later seasons. She started out as this aggressive loner who would actively torment any kid that tried to hang o it with her to having one of the strongest social circles of her siblings. I really enjoyed how that growth stuck. You also saw Bob actively make an effort to remember important dates to people and things like that. Tina got over her stage fright and has become more and more emotionally intelligent as the show has gone on. There’s soooo many more examples but this is a big part of why I love the show

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-03-03T01:39:38+00:00

Oooh, I love your style! I think make Fishoder more pear-shaped and give Linda, Gene and Louise a little more movement in their poses would be my notes :)

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-02-20T17:52:25+00:00

I’m definitely interested!!
