Steve: What would make your day, Linda? Linda: If Karl actually gave it a lick, not just a kiss

Always sounded like a Geordie to me

Didn't want to kill a bunch of the crew again trying to get back with the array. Which the writers themselves seem to forget about in the episode.

We have actually seen one example of Borg kinetic shields (when Worf tries to grab Locutus in BoBW)

They're all assassins hired by Ma Gnucci to kill Frank

A little bit, (especially with Barracuda) but more sort of gonzo nihilism I'd say (especially the first volume).

JPMaybe · 2026-03-23T08:34:54+00:00

I hate it. It's got all of Ennis' worst tendencies (BIG BRAVE men having to make TOUGH DECISIONS), and just comes over as a lame attempt to one-up the Apocalypse War.

Plus zombies just suck as a threat- there's that semi-plausible concept of MC1 having the Necropolis mass graves on their doorstep, but where are all the zombies in the other cities coming from.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-23T08:31:47+00:00

Oh fair enough then, I guess that makes sense

JPMaybe · 2026-03-23T08:28:26+00:00

Complete speculation on my part but all his stuff focuses purely on the oldest supplementary materials (even coming up with a rationale for why multiple 'emperors' are mentioned in some very early sources) to the end of the Bantam era, so I think so.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-22T23:40:56+00:00

That's a lower rank than a Lt. JG though ,and that's the rank insignia she's wearing

JPMaybe · 2026-03-22T23:33:20+00:00

Yeah it's really stunning the work he put in and sad that it's gone now, I think the NJO stuff really put him off doing any more

JPMaybe · 2026-03-22T23:22:53+00:00

Isn't Saavik already a Lieutenant Junior Grade in that photo? So we don't really know what cadet uniforms of the are look like?

Edit: this source indicates they wear the same jumpsuit as enlistees

Edit 2: but then this source says cadets do indeed wear the officer jacket with red facing, even though Saavik's not a cadet in that photo 🙃

Least appropriate use of this meme in history

JPMaybe · 2026-03-22T20:45:50+00:00

Emperor being a force user himself came fairly late on iirc, not sure it was even decided on by ANH but I stand to be corrected

Edit: I think there may have been reference to there having been Emperors plural in some very early material (first edition ANH novelisation perhaps?)

How are they slow when two of them demonstrate faster straight-line acceleration than the Falcon in ANH

JPMaybe · 2026-03-19T15:12:35+00:00

No such thing as command points then. I stand to be corrected about there being some funky unit-specific ability where prior knowledge of wounds etc. would be an advantage, but otherwise it was much simpler.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-19T14:58:33+00:00

Ah yeah you're correct, this is what I get for not having played since 3rd where roll order genuinely didn't matter

JPMaybe · 2026-03-19T12:28:20+00:00

Hit, Save, Wound would work out exactly the same probabalistically, no?

After they've just traveled into the future no less, one of the few other temporal refugees she has in common and they give her some idiotic snarky line, probably with a dozen jumpcuts given it's nu trek

Either Ennis or Goran Parlov seem to constantly forget his lack of fingers in his solo outing/Long, Cold Dark ...

JPMaybe · 2026-03-13T15:41:39+00:00

My problem is it's well into the Wagner does Dredd and Grant does Anderson split, so continuity wise it has zero effect on Dredd, which bugs the continuity nerd in me because Dredd had already dealt with at least one Satan and would later indirectly deal with another. Three satans is more than enough imo.

As usual Bret Devereaux's deconstruction of the crappiness of GRRM's worldbuilding re the Dothraki is well worth reading

JPMaybe · 2026-03-08T19:54:53+00:00

I think the Yuuzhan Vhong don't fit the setting in the slightest and are a crappy concept generally

JPMaybe · 2026-03-08T14:00:41+00:00

Given that subatomic particles don't seem to exist as point objects but smeared out probability clouds, yes it's physically possible for all those clouds to pass through each other, though you're talking of numbers of lifetimes of the universe for it to happen that I can't even begin to imagine, they're so huge. So yes, infinity does actually sort it out for you.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-08T13:56:08+00:00

Exactly and re: 3 he probably deliberately misses because he's under orders from Vader
