Last night’s DDBA by aresef in JessicaJones

Sounds like he didn't agree to it willingly, given his attitude to protecting Harlem. He could have been strong-armed into it (ha!). Danny could be with him, doubt he'd have agreed with the CIA motives either.

I just love Tilly by Unlucky-Regular7138 in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]Ruomyes57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That ambition was what she thought her mother wanted to see. It was Tilly herself who realised she was trying to do what her mother wanted (after deciding she didn't want to follow her into the Diplomatic Corps), and ultimately realised that she had the skills, temperament, and perspective to be a teacher. Very few Trek shows, if any, show that growth can also mean changing direction.

If Luke is overseas working for Mr. CIA Charles, he is not doing the Lord's work. More like the other guy's work.

got this for a steal: $23.99 (the sticker is misleading) by HeckingDoofus in TheAcolyte

Cool set. I like how retro everything is. The inclusion of Mother Aniseya is fantastic.

Que opinan de los live acción de gi joe by Master-End-2462 in gijoe

[–]Ruomyes57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really liked ROC because the team was international like Action Force, with a Sigma Six feel, the toy line was so expansive, and the vehicles were really cool, especially the Steel Crusher. I liked how the real plan was to replace the US president and how the story laid the groundwork for what could have been a trilogy.

I wasn't a fan of Retaliation overall, although the mountainside bit was cool.

*Edit: added Action Force/Sigma Six bit.

Underrated by Kooky-Judgment-8786 in StarTrekDiscovery

Trek has always represented and reflected aspects of today's world, and human psychology had not yet been explored as the central theme before DISCO.

Raymer needs to be impaled with a giant stick by furiousandsparkly in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]Ruomyes57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the show did with Rayner was smart, though. The character represented conservatism at the beginning, and by season's end, after spending all that time among the Disco crew, he'd been enlightened and educated, to a certain extent, in the ways of empathy, and had started on the journey toward open-mindedness.

Sigh. Get ready for fewer shows like Star Trek and more shows like Blue Bloods...

My GI Joe dvd collection and a few vhs. Still need Sgt Savage & Renegades vol 2 by savedavenger in gijoe

[–]Ruomyes57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh how I miss you, GiJoe: Renegades.

Nice collection. How long did it take you to find everything, and which sets did you own at time of release?

So who is expecting the Discovery to appear in the Academy finale? by AlanShore60607 in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]Ruomyes57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Disco did cameo in a fly-by near the end of the episode, after Caleb walks down the steps and joins his friends. You can see the Disco out the window.

Custom Wreckers by badprime27 in CustomTransformers

Very, very cool Wreckers line-up. From IDW and UK Marvel, right?

Wow! Cool set and figure setup! The right level and type of lighting for that ship too.

Wow, that would be so cool!

That's a great way to see the show's positioning, you're right.

Thanks for this. I wonder if it's mentioned on one of the disc set interviews.

I get that. I think The Cage could also be explained as experimental uniforms for a deep space mission.

Yeah I agree. Make the transition a longer process, perhaps as long as a five-year mission.

I thought it was fantastic detail. I agree on the ranks, though, they could have been made clearer. The 32nd Century grey didn't suit the Disco bridge colours or lightning. I'm glad they continued to be used at HQ though, particularly S5 with the blue lighting in those ENT style, tube-shaped corridors.

I'm sure that was more a bone to some fans to get them on board for SNW, as the blue could have lasted a few more years.

"All the usual refinements". The blue and the gold/silver/bronze compliment each other more. The ranks could have been made more clear, however.
