  1. Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    The decision to make him smaller than normal MP scale is just incredible.
  2. The "What made you happy today" thread!

    I have never caught the bug on building model kits. I have built more than a dozen of them and usually a long while apart. I watched through Gundam Wing 23 years ago and bought all the main character mechs in the 1/144 scale or whatever the little one is and I built them all because at the...

  4. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    Well. After 5 episodes Wim has shown 2 signs of growth. Neel is just the same and barely used. Captain Fern has nothing to offer but her insistence on being in charge and the visor girl might as well be an R2 unit. The kids are props. Watch it for the world building, exposition, adventure...
  5. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    This one was fun and interesting and late-breaking imagery made it feel like Star Wars even.
  6. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Does someone have evidence that it happened or that it is allowed? I am comfortable with a member of Congress having a staff member or colleague enter their vote so long as there is some documentation that it is their vote. In other words, I don't care about a rule that they have to be sitting...
  7. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I actually haven't read any of his robot stories. I guess though that implicit in the rules is not that robots are gentle, but that they must be carefully required to be.
  8. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I am not sure how much Isaac Asimov would like being nodded at in an episode where a robot reveals that he killed his entire crew and proceeds to start killing children only stopped by being deactivated.
  9. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    No. A great deal of the basis is just whatever Trump's current whim is. It cannot run on autopilot. It is continually being "corrected" by Trump's latest whim. You could nudge it, but your work will be erased soon.

    Why can't they see that other redhats are dopes?
  11. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I doubt it. I imagine that the Great Work will end up being something that got finished a long time ago or has become obsolete. Like calculating hyperspace lanes or something. They may have been planted during a big war like the Sith War to preserve culture in case the war was lost. -=-=- I...

    The 4th installment of Skeleton Crew I could have done without. Most of the way through the episode I was expecting it to be a totally throw away episode, but I guess they didn't get away yet and it might be a central part of the plot.
  13. Star Trek General Discussion

    I liked Insurrection better the second time I saw it. I think there have only been two. But... It isn't an insurrection. It is just insubordination. And they totally screwed up their McGuffin. If you are seriously wounded and trapped where people cannot get to you, the last thing you want...

    What would actually happen if Yoda went? I guess he probably wouldn't have been able to get access to the throne room?
  15. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    He was around 900 in ESB and RotJ. We had seen him using a cane before, but he was plenty able bodied. He's suddenly in bed in RotJ and up and dies. The joke that he died because Luke was asking so many question is funny. In the writers' room, they probably needed to explain why Yoda wasn't...
  16. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    Yes, I think it was a mistake not to. He let his hair down a little when he was with the Younglings at the start of Episode 2, I feel like. But not much. He should have been really silly and funny with them. But I'm glad we at least had that scene to let us know he doesn't spend his whole...
  17. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    It is such a complicated game though. I mean, I guess she knows her act. She got elected. Where I live, if you shake hands and get hurt so badly you need a sling, a red hat is going to call you a mean name. It is very difficult to physically injure a red hat and I'm surprised that someone...
  18. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I did consider that. But did Luke pass that test? Maybe just over the line? I mean, he didn't try to kill him and he didn't dismiss him. He did accept help from him, but wasn't especially respectful and certainly didn't consider it possible that he was the Jedi master. It could have been a...
  19. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    When Empire was new, Yoda does a heel turn when eating soup and it seems like he was acting silly until then for some important purpose, but I don't really feel like I understand it. For the audience it is a surprising revelation, but in character I don't know what is going on. The prequels...

    What ARE the disputed allegations? I have had my hand shaken under false pretense and let me tell you it is no walk in the park.
