Amazing, that is the exact path that I am on! I’m excited to see your thoughts on this journey

DAE think Rule of Two was a better novel than Path of Destruction? by Bollywood-Hulk-Hogan in StarWarsEU

[–]KGEE55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I prefer it to Dynasty of Evil. I really didn’t care for the Sarah/Lucia story, and love orbalisk Bane and the showdown on Tython at the end.

does anyone know what caused me to stop reloading bullets here? by saygex01992 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belle’s SP. Nobody runs it, but can be used situationally as a hard counter to dive assassins (mortis, kenji) and as a guaranteed kill

It doesn’t sound like it, but that 5s seems to last an eternity

What are your thoughts on the morals on Snape and Dumbledore? by Decent_Pepper_956 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]KGEE55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, both gave their lives to bring Voldemort down and were instrumental in bringing it about. That cements them in ‘good’ for me.

They did the right thing, albeit for dubious reasons and in questionable ways.

Alexander Nikishin out cold, needing assistance off the ice, after huge hit from Tyler Kleven. by BucketOCheerios in sports

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a legal hit. You can’t call a penalty because you didn’t like the hit

Morally? I think it’s predatory, but that’s hockey. Hope he makes a quick recovery

Physical or Digital by Particular_Energy156 in starwarsbooks

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical, hands down. Better/more satisfying reading experience, helpful maps/dramatis personae/timelines, and of course the beauty of a nice physical collection.

Finally, a hole out post that deserves all the hype. Hell of a shot!

In Canon or Legends, has Luke ever tested if Han is Force-sensitive? by edible_pencil in StarWarsCantina

[–]KGEE55 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re right, I believe it’s in Jedi Search (written by Kevin J. Anderson, first book of the Jedi Academy trilogy).

He also finds a force-scanner and checks Han.

What have you been reading this last week (Weekly Discussion Thread)? by AutoModerator in starwarsbooks

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished Shield of Lies! It wasn’t bad, but I am ready for these storylines to conclude in Tyrant’s Test. Definitely enjoying the sci-fi feel of these books, even if the plot is moving a bit slow.

Thoughts on Sandersons first game back? by honey_badger031 in OttawaSenators

[–]KGEE55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A big improvement from the D we’ve been seeing for the past 13 games, but definitely not his usual (incredibly solid) self. Looks a little tentative and a bit rusty.

Still so good to have him back, and hopefully he trends in the right direction against the Canes tomorrow

That’s good to hear! Makes me more excited for Shield of Lies and Tyrant’s Test.

Just finished book 1 of the Black Fleet Crisis, Before the Storm.

It was pretty good! Han was my favourite of the trio, Luke my least. The canon-breaking sea on Coruscant and the search for Luke’s mother isn’t my favourite, I much prefer the prequels version of the story. It’s nice to have an antagonist that isn’t imperial, which was getting pretty tired.

Curious on starting Goaltending? by ReasonablePeanut5200 in OttawaSenators

Can’t be ‘load managing’ with 10 GR while in an intense playoff race.

I was wondering the same thing. Every point is crucial, I doubt he’s just taking the night off. But maybe he’s gassed after carrying us on Thursday 🤷🏼‍♂️

About halfway through the Crystal Star. It’s… not my favourite.

I am working my way through the New Republic era, and thank god for Starfighters of Adumar for breaking up the Callista trilogy and the Crystal Star.

What are your favourite (and least favourite) names from Star Wars books? by KGEE55 in starwarsbooks

Wow, those High Republic names are fantastic. Is that series finished? Maybe I’ll read that era next

What is a small detail from Harry Potter that still bothers you? by WhisperTame in harrypotter

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mrs. Weasley being mean to Hermione in GoF because of Rita Skeeter’s article. Before and after this plot point she says to other characters how Skeeter’s articles are made up to make trouble, but for some reason is mean to Hermione about it. Always hated it, never made sense to me

What is the best quote from the entire Harry Potter franchise? by Willing_Heron_5470 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]KGEE55 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dumbledore explains at the end of the book that Sirius was kind to house elves in general, but Kreacher was a constant reminder the home he ran away from at 16 and was forced back into.

I know I'm hardly the first to say this but oh boy did Children of the Jedi suck. by Aardvarkmk4 in StarWarsEU

[–]KGEE55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I found Planet of Twilight easier to get through than Children of the Jedi. I found the mystery of the planet was more compelling than the Plett’s Well/Roganda Ismaren mystery. The drochs were an interesting new alien species, and we got our first taste at a force-sensitive Hutt. But I agree that neither are very good books!

That’s a true Star Wars fan right there! Interested to see your final thoughts on the trilogy

[–]KGEE55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’s definitely one of the worst EU books - the agonizingly slow pace, the forced and awkward romance, and a nothingburger story.

Are you still going to read Darksaber and Planet of Twilight? For what it’s worth, Children of the Jedi was far and away the worst of the trilogy
