  1. They’re definitely trying to take it YA. They haven’t learned from the Wesley Crusher debacle.
  2. It’s Marvel. It’s a metaverse where peak human condition from training can go toe to toe with Cap, at least for a little while.
  3. The second ep was better. Starting to think the crew is getting too whiny, even compared to prior seasons. It's not that they are having problems, but rather that the problems are too quickly discussed or resolved. Let us see harsh Tilly stew for a few eps, before realizing there is a problem. I fear a return to season 2, when narrative-building was short-changed.
  4. I think a tougher debate would be identifying bad Cold War movies. There are many bad Cold War movies qua movies, but bad Cold War movies?
  5. They opened DU right after I left. A high school friend is a chef up there, so it’s good to hear that the food is good.
  6. A bit formulaic and boring. Does set up something as a big bad.
  7. Having gone done this road in the none-too-distant past, just make sure that the KVM or an additional hub allows you to share all other peripherals, e.g. headsets or webcams.
  8. He did got to TCU. One of my math professors liked to regal us with the tale of how he cut Klein no slack for having to miss class for shoots.
  9. I’d say peak Brendan Fraser was Scrubs or the Mummy.
  10. I'll go with a few SF/fantasy actors from years ago. Michael McManus (Kai from Lexx) Ben Browder (Farscape/SG1) Adrian Paul (Highlander)
  11. Haven’t watched reality tv in years, but it was always something to watch with my wife (or ex-wife years ago). Storage Wars and Flipping Vegas because of the characters. Just about any kind of shit when I was young, from the Simple Life to the Surreal Life. Again, it was because of the characters. Switched to YouTube for reaction vids, primarily the Irish Try channel, Reactistan, or various vocal coaches or other musicians. It was the characters. My only advice would be to get it at or under 20 minutes and stream it. My wife and I don’t have time for binging most days, unless it is just background noise.
  12. LOL. One of the main characters was sometimes called “Progeny”. Might continue calling it that as she is the only interesting character so far.
  13. I watched Progeny last week. Yep, it’s a kids’ show. Not even sure it is YA. May just binge it later, after the season is over.

    Sorry, was thinking of Red and Charlie. This is almost exactly like late stage Mack except even Mack would take drastic steps like bring in Robinson(?) to help with the defense.

    No, because, apparently, the TCU BMDs don’t have an issue with losing or a rapidly emptying stadium. Like if Red hadn’t been pissed about losing because he was still getting handjobs from Mack. That’s TCU’s situation.

    Looks like TCU won’t win another game.
  17. Best Trek episode in years. Strange New Worlds will have to be very good to top that.
  18. I get a P+ subscription included in my full price 247 subscription. (That’s for TCU’s 247 board, not a Longhorn one.) It’s not a bad deal.
  19. Technically yes, but you can get them online from reputable gray market dealers without one.
  20. What if it comes off while fucking? Race to the police to get charges filed?
  21. A year later, my posts don’t always hold up well. The writers found their groove and became less bombastic. It is working.
  22. About a decade ago, my wife did the opposite of what everyone suggests. She’s a teacher and her school was being shutdown, so she jumped at the first in-district job she was offered. A day later, an honors magnet school came calling. She did what she thought was best; she stayed true to her word. It was the worst two-year experience of her working life.
  23. I could get on board with the idea if it was clear that it’s just the same setting, that the characters and the story are different. Less a re-boot than a complete reinvention, like a different DM using the same campaign setting to run a different campaign with all-new players. If that’s what he was tweeting, yeah, I’m on board. But if is just a new Sheridan and Delenn, a new Vir, Londo, and G’Kar, which is what the BG reference suggests…I’m not that interested. That type of reboot has been done to death.
