So clearly the secret is to get a bunch of pregnant women, wait until their water's break, and then let a clicker bite them and then the next generation is immune. Boom, problem solved.

The Fireflies in general seem to be largely worthless after that episode

Dr. Gonzo · 03-15-2023, 05:24 PM

Still working through Deep Space Nine. Currently on season 5, what a great fucking show. It's good throughout but by season 4 I found myself getting way more into it.

I want to again recommend Nirvanna The Band The Show. It's available free on archive.org now so not hard to find. Did another rewatch recently because it's so fucking funny. It also just very much feels like a show I wish I was talented enough to make with my friends. Full of 90's references and homages. Highlights include an episode on entering a Goldeneye tournament, a Halloween episode involving goosebumps music, Wahlburgers burgers granting wishes, and an Indiana Jones two parter.

Dr. Gonzo · 03-16-2023, 12:14 AM

Well most of that episode of Mando was kinda shit.

Ted Lasso back is cool though

Forenci · 03-16-2023, 12:44 AM

Finally watched TLOU. Great stuff. It was a really interesting experience of having not played the game in a LONG time and being like, "wait, was that actually what happened in the game?" Definitely remember a lot of the key moments from the game, which was cool too. Also never had a chance to play TLOU2, so it was kinda like...huh I wonder where the take this?

I'll be excited to play the remake when it comes out on PC soon to see how it all compares again.

Dr. Gonzo · 03-16-2023, 12:45 AM

I highly highly recommend TLOU2 if you ever get the chance. Goddamn masterpiece, one of my favorite gaming experiences ever.

Forenci · 03-16-2023, 01:03 AM

I definitely will. I just got rid of my Playstation, and then Sony started porting stuff to PC, so I figured it was just a matter of time.

iowatreat · 03-16-2023, 01:18 AM

Yeah if you've done TLOU you need to pay TLOU2 if you can, it's somehow better. The show potentially can be twice as good with S2 if they keep up the good decisions.

I did not care for the side content.

Someone at Marvel saw this and thought he would be perfect for a Spider-Man movie.

Dr. Gonzo · 03-18-2023, 03:58 PM

Watched the first two episodes of Swarm. I'm intrigued. It's very strange.

Lucky Hank is good shit

I didn't mind it but it appears they are bridging the gap between episode VI and episode VII with Mandalorian instead of with other stand alone shows. Not sure how true this is but basically what I thought with the side story in the last episode.

Pretty unfortunate because it's something great to explore and tons of potential, and kinda sucks it will detract from the already great Mando stories.

They should be doing everything they can to retcon the third trilogy out of canon.

Not gonna happen but we all wish they would. I know they introduced a time travel esque plot device in one of the animated shows, that’s all the opening they need to change that crap around.

Days of Future Past doesn't get nearly enough credit for erasing X-Men 3 from ever happening.

Star Wars should do that. I trust Filoni.

Dr. Gonzo · 03-21-2023, 03:39 AM

I kinda wish they'd just move on and pretend the new trilogy doesn't exist.

I'm also baffled they've done nothing with Knights of the Old Republic yet. Fuck Disney

If they could do the same to the prequels too that'd be great. Just leave us the original trilogy and then move on from that.

I thought they were working on something related to KOTOR? Read it a while back though.

Zak · 03-21-2023, 10:56 PM

The prequels at least gave us Clone Wars and Rebels.
