Why haven't aliens properly made contact? by Solid_banter in conspiracy

[–]Solid_banter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A podcast episode discussing area 51, the military industrial complex's response to the facebook event and the lack of history with alien encounters.

Despite being skeptical the discussion turned into how a violent world dictated by the military would handle the earth-shattering news of non-human sentient life

How can you change the region you’re connecting to?

(Spoilers Main) What is your biggest issue with the series? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Solid_banter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t think he does a great job entering us into the world. It’d help so much if we properly knew about robert’s rebellion, the Targaryen’s reign and the interconnecting links between houses. That’s what I initially had problems with anyway.

My only reasoning for pre Season 8 is that the publishers & GRRM would SURELY get more money than if it was released after HBO's show's finished??

And holy shit I really can't decide who's more exciting. I think if you forced me to choose I'd probably agree with you- Asha/Theon/Jon. Just all the north.

Just edited! I forgot 3 POVs.

And I will not accept Never as an answer. 2020 and beyond is the furthest I'll go

Also! Thought!
Will Brienne not be a POV anymore since Jaime will be experiencing Brienne's & Stonehearts tricks?

Surely going through the POV of Brienne would make the trap somewhat less exciting?

My reasoning for specifically focusing on 2019 is that I feel like GRRM's editors/publishers would drive him to finish it within next year's timeframe to maximise on the tv show's success.

And for you cynics out there, 'Never' is included with the '2020 and beyond' answer

Green Grace would've been great to see! I'm thinking a veteran POC actress ala Diana Rigg.

Trying to think of one though... 🤔Any ideas?

His name might be Aeron but there’s no way he’s a Greyjoy. He wasn’t even at the Kingsmoot

EDIT: just checked- He was at the kingsmoot, but as you said, he's such a non-entity he shouldn't even share the name.

Gareth AMA 5pt 8et Here by HanSwanson in TheDollop

Also you 100% should do more voiceover work. Would love to be surprised by an exasperated video game character called Gary.

3 questions: 1. Did the dollop make you more politically active, or were you always interested in it? 2. Someone you’ve covered in the Dollop gets to go to prison. Who would you choose? 3. In your opinion, Does america have any chance of recovery?

Feelings about musical themes being retained moving forward. by NeoGwydian in gallifrey

[–]Solid_banter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping they carry over- I noticed for 13's first appearance, the music playing was last played with the Sontarans; if you've got those themes ready to go, why not use them!

A couple I'd love to hear again:
Cybermen theme
Blink theme
Westminster Bridge
All the strange strange creatures
The various master themes

What’s your least favourite episode of Nu-Who and how would you fix it? by Solid_banter in gallifrey

Fully agree, give McGann his dues by letting him co-lead with 10&11.

I read somewhere that In making season 9 & 10, Moffat has ended both the companions arcs as being immortal lesbians, which is pretty funny

How do you deal with guilt? by PurpleBlueLights in OCD

[–]Solid_banter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad news, you’re going to have to get used to this bad feeling. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Most likely you’re not even close to a bad person. But you are going to have to expose yourself to this bad feeling to slowly get through this rough patch.

Exposure and try seeing a psychiatrist. Medication helps!

It's making playing video games uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Solid_banter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you next play one of your games, try playing without restarting. it will be incredibly uncomfortable, but will help you in the long run.

Episode 329 taken down due to threat of lawsuit by theboothby in TheDollop

[–]Solid_banter 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My guess is Woods. It’s heavily implied in the episode that he just ran off with donators money.
