  1. Why did Elrond put Bilbo up?

    I'd like to live in Rivendell when I retire. If I just show up there, can I stay? I saw the Fellowship of the Rings movie before I read the books and from the movie it appears Bilbo just left a few weeks ago, but it is a lot longer in the books. Did Bilbo just reach Rivendell and stay? Is he...

    Do I understand correctly that if someone in Mando's cult marries someone else in the cult, they can't take off their helmet even in front of their spouse?
  3. Star Trek: Picard

    It is a continuation of the same gag that even after they had shown us the scientist that raised Odo and explained that Odo had patterned his humanoid form on that guy, they eventually show us that the Founders ALL have the same haircut as Odo when they aren't mimicking someone.

    I'm not really looking forward to an episode about Persing or reminding my wife who he is and why he matters.
  5. Star Trek: Picard

    I feel a sort of soft disappointment that they worked so hard to tie Worf's story in. After First Contact made such a quick, convenient way to put Worf back on the Enterprise, I was really proud of Insurrection for just burying his had-to-be-contrived explanation in crowd noise. Yes. What...
  6. Star Trek: Picard

    It is not logical to kill and hurt people and help criminals steal things because it is likely that someone else is going to do it if you don't. It just isn't. Vulcans can be difficult to write for because they are so much more intelligent than the people that write their dialog. Which is...

    I guarantee you that secret is going to come in handy.
  8. How to survive?

    You are a grownup. How have you done so far? I don't know martial arts. The last time I was in a physical fight was 5th grade by the bike rack. You can probably survive fine without knowing how to fight as long as you are polite and stay away from dangerous places. Most of your body can...
  9. Star Trek: Picard

    I looked it up. Captain Walker Keel introduced Jack and Beverly. Another friend of theirs. But I was right that Jack served under Picard and died on an away mission that Picard sent him on. They shouldn't be Academy buddies. That was a bad idea.
  10. Star Trek: Picard

    I don't know. I feel it too. I don't know if I made it all up, but my impression has been that Jack served under Picard on the Stargazer and was killed doing something Picard sent him to do and he felt guilt for it. If all I thought I knew about him is true, they actually stole something from...

    I am not aware of any. The show hasn't even revealed that there are supposed to BE mystical qualities. They didn't say the water would heal a wound or transform him somehow. It is a ritual he has to do to atone for committing an offense.
  12. How to survive?

    Yeah, you get 140 calories from a can of Coke or Pepsi, but if you are actually starving for calories there are more efficient and cheaper ways to get those calories. Koolaid is cheaper. You can just pour white sugar into water and that is way cheaper. But if you're eating useful foods with...

    Also, even aside from a couple of bars that are straight up copied, the whole Mandalorian theme sounds like Rocky music to me.

    There was some physics cheating there. I think he just sank to the bottom because he didn't realize there would be a big dropoff and he has zero buoyancy in a full suit of metal armor. But she responded pretty much immediately and was using her jet pack to go DOWN fast and he still beat her to...
  15. How to survive?

    You can get canned beans very cheap and you don't have to cook them. Eat them straight from the can and you'll only need to clean your spoon. You will be a LOT healthier just eating canned beans than you will just eating ramen. Your peanut butter idea is a very good one too. If you life...
  16. Star Trek: Picard

    If my memory serves, Picard didn't have to find Guinan's bar in the 25th century. He had to find where it was in the 21st century, though.
  17. Star Trek: Picard

    I didn't even think about it when I was watching. But Especially when a pulsar is a really obvious thing to check for. But then again, maybe the ship itself checks for pulsars all the time and so they knew it wasn't that.

    I think Bo Katan is starting to be a believer. That was a wasn't it?
  20. Star Trek: Picard

    When I posted before I was going on information that people posted places. I didn't see the episode until this morning. It's sort of a bad habit, but my first viewing winds up being like a second. So I was watching Picard and the scene was beautiful. He totally supported my idea that he's...
