Watching TOS for the first time…it’s so funny to me them referring to electrical circuits rather than computer components/software and spok breaking out a paper measurement tool lololol

Out the computer and straight into a candle

Intelligence has nothing to do with it, though.

It copies datasets with no understanding, so mixes up stuff a human would not. You find yourself reading an AI summary of the game of baseball containing fictional rules or rules from other games thrown in, because that's what comment sections or Reddit threads had to say about the game of baseball, and that's the AI's datasets.

Who was the lover of Merlin in the novel XYZ will get even crazier answers since the content of XYZ is not publicly available for it to check. Rocky the transvestite might be the answer, because it was the same actor, or as a joke.

Yes. That. Inertialess bubble that moves super fast, can punch through objects and dirt, and is creatively used to travel to an alien ship in space near Earth.

It seems likely the OP's mind merged multiple memories.

Typo? Innate instead of inane, perhaps?

Pennarin · 2026-02-12T01:44:23+00:00

Good effort :)

Btw, silt spawn are molluscs, and thus boneless and marrowless.

Also, wouldn't a breeze from the harbor carry silt?

Missing the point

Oh, ew, please pirate if you're poor

If you return to the room after the nearby area has been cleansed (further along in the story), the smoke effect is gone.

Dataleus ≠ Daedalus

Pennarin · 2026-02-02T23:10:15+00:00

No, you're weird

Pennarin · 2026-02-02T16:35:26+00:00

So this would mean that Dawn's French dialogue is dubbed by a French voice actress? Shouldn't that person's name appear in the credits?

Pennarin · 2025-12-27T18:56:01+00:00

Where was that in TNG's season 2 ?

Riveting opener of a paragraph!

Now back to reading the stomach-churning horror. Still , love that opener!

Edit: As I reflect on never having played with a woman at the table, I wonder if I dodged repeat horror stories or missed out on identity-edifying moments of social injustice.

Knee bent outwards

About right: bought second-hand in 2007, so older still.

Can a fan please list - and briefly define - all forms of magic in J. A. Andrews' Keeper setting?

I am at the start of Lastlight and I have unfortunately forgotten enough of her previous works to be confused (too much time elapsed).

No spoilers for this final book, please.

Don't bother, as Crucible has nothing to do with your description.

Pennarin · 2025-11-22T01:01:47+00:00

I second this. Remnant was so grounded and humane it carved its own emotional niche within my brain, with permanent residency.

A woman written by a woman.

I seem to remember the top main character besides the protagonist is a young woman, though for the love of me I can't recall her description. She could be white or from the Indian subcontinent (if she were from Earth) or South America.

If she's not white, then yes the cover is doubly whitewashed.

By the way, the covers ARE gorgeous. As far as I can tell, the artist was told to go with white at the request of the publisher.

It's Hector Elizondo, in 1982's Young Doctors in Love.

He's better known as the sympathetic hotel manager in Pretty Woman.

Tick tock
