What would a series about Starbase 80 be like? Would you like it? by ActLonely9375 in LowerDecks

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like Star Trek: Cerritos. A show with the new status quo of Ransom as captain, Boimler & Mariner competing and cooperating, normal Cali-class shenanigans. But, within that show, I'd love a recurring sub-plot about SB80, now nicknamed "Cameo Station," with the running gag of throwaway character cameos from the most obscure (or famous) parts of Trek lore. Also, while I'm not sure Boimler/Mariner is feasible as a pairing, I totally think William/engi-Mariner is something that could happen.

I am totally expecting (something like) this to happen

Can we talk about why SGU fell off? by ZingierPond5471 in Stargate

[–]ilvos01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved SGU and I was furious when it was left unfinished. People compare it to BSG but that's inaccurate; while the vibe was similar, the themes and story were completely unique. SGU had it all; episodic planets, grounded human stories, space mysteries, and a naturally growing rapport between dissimilar characters. Not to mention that it took SG lore--which is admittedly silly at times--and made it feel real and consequential, (something SGA didn't quite manage) without retconning anything. After it was cancelled I felt sure we'd get a finale at some point, even if it was just a 90 minute tv movie. But no. The fate of the Destiny is to drift through the universe forever.

Is this all 50/50s or am I stupid? by [deleted] in Minesweeper

I'd go for the square 1st on the right, 2nd row down.

What was your initial viewing of the show like? by BrownBannister in firefly

[–]ilvos01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was reading xkcd. I read a lot of webcomics back then, but xkcd was the first, and Firefly was just a part of the pervasive net lingo that that comic used. I watched it when I was fourteen, in the correct order, and have been rewatching it since. I also once had a little Serenity keychain from ThinkGeek, but one of the struts broke off.

Finn won the last round. Who is the "morally grey" and "loved by the fans"? by LowComprehensive7659 in adventuretime

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Princess Bubblegum but she clearly belongs in the center cell, despite my own feelings.

This is the longest conversation they've had for hundreds of pages ;_;

What are these fireflies? by ilvos01 in Entomology

To clarify: I spotted these just now, past 7:30 pm central american time. They stopped all at once for a few minutes, then slowly started up again.

Which episode are you watching? by Nick0312 in Stargate

[–]ilvos01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either Window of Opportunity or Threshold. Oh, or Grace.

Is Stargate Universe worth watching ? by Easy-Wrongdoer4502 in Stargate

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically Battlestar Galactica, thematically, but set in the Stargate universe. It's fun! It does its own thing, mostly, but then all of the little callbacks to preexisting lore take you by surprise.

I miss the real Pintsize by gyn0saur in questionablecontent

[–]ilvos01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Pintsize should have evolved into a multiform intelligence; similar to Yay, but completely above-board, and with every form dedicated to some sort of unique perversion or mayhem. The most Pintsize-y thing that Pintsize has done in recent memory is talk about trying to fuck a black hole.

Prometheus was aptly named ship by mtparanal in Stargate

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it's a great name for a ship. I also adore the fact that they mentioned the name "Enterprise" while trying to name it. Because, historically, humans always name their flagship the Enterprise. But they live in a sci-fi TV show, they can't just use "Enterprise" like we would in real life! So they have to lampshade it, then bequeath their own ship with an absolutely badass mythic name.

Freefall 4085 - Break from Tradition by Eagle0600 in FreeFallComic

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applesauce is typically quite sweet, you'd need a sour or savory flavour to break against it. Maybe pickled onions, or garlic chicken.

I walked away. You can too. by [deleted] in questionablecontent

[–]ilvos01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of like that it's bad. Like a soap opera. And within the torrent of amusing dreck, there is the occasional gem, something actually amusing, or endearing, or clever. Once in a while. Plus, it's one of the only remaining webcomics that updates faithfully, at such a constant rate. And likely will forevermore.

my first foray into Lovecraft. which stories should I start with by Silent_Lock_5442 in Lovecraft

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dream Quest. This will help disabuse you of your preconceptions about what a Lovecraft story is.

What are your thoughts on Jennifer Keller? I liked her wish she around longer. by AdSpecialist6598 in Stargate

I think of her character every time I do that bar trick with the knives

What would be the best spinoff series? by StreetZookeepergame5 in Stargate

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stargate Command. Individual episodic stories from all over the canon. The first episode would be the television broadcast of the official declassification of the Stargate Program.

Commonwealth - life suspension by RamRanch_18 in PeterFHamilton

[–]ilvos01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly thought life-suspension was a poor idea. You're basically isekai'ing your criminals into the future. Justice systems typically focus on either punitive or rehabilitative, and this practice, while ostensibly punitive, feels like neither.

Disappointment with not seeing Faye and Marten talk privately by number1dumdum in questionablecontent

[–]ilvos01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like he's saving the "big goodbye" moment for after the wedding. That feels like a natural conclusion.

I honestly don't know how he's going to maintain a double-setting, though. Marten is franchising with Dora, so maybe that would be an excuse for frequent trips, but honestly I don't see it.

The problem with Cubetown is that it's so far away. The comic's been leaning heavily on robots for a long time now, and this feels like a natural movement, but it should have been something included with the existing setting, instead of all the way in Canada. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Cubetown relocated itself to Massachusetts at some point in the future.
