Re: A (half) Century of Music

There's something about Ed Sheeran as a vocalist that I can't help but feel sounds bored in a lot of his songs, even the ones you rate well. Just takes the energy right out at the knees. And as for Praying...I see what you like in it, I do, but good lord it takes too much of its run-time to get anyw...

Re: Star Trek: The Quadratic War

Leyton's initial reaction, meanwhile, is to bypass the Borg issue entirely and try to crawl inside Dad's head looking for clues.

Re: Star Trek: The Quadratic War, Volume II

Prophet's Landing, High Orbit "Done with engines." For a Starfleet vessel, that's not usually something that even needs to be articulated. For that matter, station-keeping thrusters being what they are, it's not something that would even make much sense, outside of spacedock. For a ship in Scylla's...

"Captain's Log, Dramatic. Stardate Just After The Last One, we'll fill in if we get around to it but frankly we're busy."

Re: Frigid reads: book review thread

In your hypothetical 3422 setting, if we're assuming that being gay is no longer a problem, how much does that character's sexuality impact life experiences?

Re: At the Movies with General Havoc

The irony there is that if the movie wasn't so short, Nolan could have taken the time to actually establish tension and suspense. Instead, Nolan cut out all the context establishment that would have handled that and tried to paper it over with a soundtrack gimmick.

Megatron busted!

I am disappointed. When you have a last name like that, it's your sworn duty to become famous and high-profile just to maximize the absurdity of the universe, not just sink down into the sewers and wallow.

Okay, draw some great big black lines through my earlier speculation... The styling on that warp entity screams Khorne, the Marine screams sorcerer which screams not-Khorne. I...huh. Could be seriously radical Malleus at an extreme outlier, but more likely out-and-out Chaos of some flavour, but which?
