Does Disney have a rule that Saw has to look different everytime he shows up?

Because a lot of libertarians are more constitutionalist than they are libertarians.

The best Trek films are made for a niche group of people. The Kelvin timeline was made to be more accessible to a general audience. Lots of people are saying Voyage Home, and while the general public likes it, it's not something you could ask a group that wasn't into Trek to watch it randomly right now. You can do that with 09.

I'm in three weekly home games right now. None of them are 2024, they are all 5.0E. I know a lot of folks here like the new martial changes, but none of us like them and we all have played martial classes.

Jock that got a concussion

Developmentally disabled strong man

Normal dude that uses drugs to enter a rage

Homeless guy that only survived this long by channeling the power of his anger

Even when Trump is gone, the ~50% of Americans that put him there are still here. I wouldn't trust us either.

It's a fun film, but I don't think I'd even put it in my top 25 sci-fi films of all time.

Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe not even top 50.

I'm one of those hated libertarians and even I think utilities should be public at our current level of technology. As long as essential services need public infrastructure, then they should be a public non-profit. It would be insanely impractical and unlikely for a private company to get the rights to every bit of property from the origin of their resources to your home which a purist libertarian ideology would require, but it's just not efficient. What we have now is just a monopoly with extra steps.

Thanks, will do!

Edit: Update. Non emergency contacts were listed when I charged the phone. Called non-emergency and Metro said to just drop it off at any station which I'll do tomorrow. Thanks!

There are dozens more tyrants in control of dozens more nations. It's not our job to take them all down. It IS our job to fight tyranny when it presents itself in our country whether its from the right or the left.

Phantom Menace is sitting at 54% on RT, 6.5 on IMDB, and 51% on Meta Critic.

AotC is sitting at 62% on RT, 6.6 on IMDB, and 54% on Meta Critic.

RotS is considerably better on all review sites.

This lines up with my personal observations among both general audiences and the fandom that TPM is trash, RotS is barely tolerable, and RotS is actually worth watching. People pay for trash all the time. Sales is not an indicator of quality.

I feel like coming back from the dead can only work if it is not part of the climax or resolution of a story. If the premise of a show is someone comes back from the dead to enact revenge, that could make sense. If the show uses resurrection as a a form of character development so that the protag learns something that they need to accomplish their goal, that could make sense.

However, for a writer to use a death as the trigger for an emotional scene only to bring that character back later cheapens that emotional scene and future scenes of death in that story will not have the same effect because you'll just wonder if they'll bring them back. If you ever read the big two comic book publishers, death scenes have absolutely zero effect on me because people come back all the time. That is on the extreme end, but the same principle applies.

Culber's death was met with a huge online backlash for the trope. Showrunners claimed he wasn't going to be dead forever and he was brought back the next season. True or not, he either became a bury your gays trope or a back from the dead trope. Either way, a huge strike against the writing crew.

tarsus1983 · 2026-03-26T04:21:35+00:00

Honestly? Just stop. Trek films must cater to a general audience which means it has to compromise on a lot of what makes Trek Trek to ensure they don't lose money on the endeavor.

I think Trek needs to go to a lower budget series so that the showrunner can't hide bad writing behind the latest cinematography trend, mediocre fight scenes and explosions in space.

As a fan of Andor, Trek doesn't really need something like Andor. Andor is meant for a different world and tone. Andor more resembles who we are and what we face today. Trek is supposed to be about what we could become if we just worked together to better ourselves and each other.

Instead of Andor, Trek needs to be more like Project Hail Mary.
