Pretty sure, yeah. I forget where I read it but it's supposed to be like a poncho as opposed to cape.

Lord Tesla wrote: ↑April 21st, 2017, 12:56 pm What, he has a special, go-to-confrontations-with-traitors cape? (Also, it still looks like it was made from a bedsheet.)

Actually, yes.

Although it's for bad weather as opposed to traitor confrontation.

Michael Giacchino's scores for the Star Trek movies really didn't do much for me and when I first read that he was to be the composer for R1, I wasn't too excited, but I must say that Giacchino's piece for the most emotional scene in the movie really is beautiful and effective, like most of his sco...

I've heard that their live shows are a little odd. I wouldn't say it's odd so much as just not that great. They had an opener from Jersey whose whole shtick was playing into gender stereotypes from the 50s. That set a pretty bad tone with the crowd from the start, and then when the guys came out th...

If my math is right, wouldn't that be almost 40 years since his creation, which theoretically would mean he's physically around 80 at that point correct? As nice an idea as it is that seems like a stretch.

Wait, WHAT?! WHEN?! HOW?!?!?!

I truly think the series should end with Vader killing Ezra. There are certainly other endings that could be fulfilling but to end with Vader striking down Ezra and Kaanan would be the truest to the character and most powerful ending possible IMHO. That would lead into Rebels perfectly. The Jedi th...

Best I could manage at work.

I literally shut everybody up at work so that I could listen to it

I like the TV show.

We saw them live last year. It...wasn't the greatest show.

That's pretty great! I imagine if I had a daughter I'd be all-in on this.

Caught up on the following this week:

Optimus Prime #5
Transformers: Til All Are One #8
Transformers: Lost Light #4
Paper Girls #13

I'm on season 3 of Enterprise and boy oh boy am I enjoying it WAY more than I did TNG. When I have a little extra spending money I'm going to grab the model of the NX-01 Refit that never made it into the show.

My copy arrived earlier than expected. Great film, poor extras. The "Rogue Connections" one was particularly bad, going over some of the connections to other stories before ending with a "oh and there are other connections too.." after a few minutes. There are some good moments ...

Rogue One - A

Fiancee bought me the Blu-Ray as an early birthday gift and we watched it again last night.

Still absolutely love it.

borgmatrix wrote: ↑April 4th, 2017, 12:20 pm Would they really give Jason Isaacs, as captain, more of a secondary role?

Sure, why not? Secondary doesn't mean non-existent. Just because the show isn't centered around his exploits doesn't preclude him not being a big part of the happenings.

Sonequa Martin-Green joins the cast of Star Trek: Discovery as First Officer Michael Burnham: StarTrek.com: Sonequa Martin-Green Beams Aboard Discovery I wonder why this just finally became official :lol: From what little I've seen of her on The Walking Dead she seems perfectly capable. I wouldn't ...

I bet he's going to enjoy the heck out of playing Mudd.

Even despite its stupid delivery system here in the US (The awful CBSInsider service) I'm really looking forward to Discovery. My only hope is that the design of the show skews closer to TOS than Enterprise did.

I hope that we finally get to see sabaac on-screen.

And hopefully it's not just "Space Texas Hold-Em".

I've watched Rogue One a few times post digital purchase now, and I feel I have a new question; If Krennic ordered all the original Death Star techs killed, and then Galen is killed in the ensuing Rebel strike, and then the Death Star destorys Scarif with the original Death Star plans that Jyn tran...

What it mainly had going for it was Hoshi Sato. The rest...should have been court-martialed for wasting my time. I love Captain Bakula! It feels like he's in a completely different show from the rest of the cast and for some reason I like that. Plus he has a beagle. Any captain willing to bring the...

Star Trek: Enterprise

It's goofy, and not really that great, but it has charm.

I've been wanting to see this, as its my favorite animated Disney movie. But I've also worried about it just being live-action replication with nothing new. Is the music the same? That I do hope for. From what I understand there's a new song or two, but otherwise it's the same music. As a counterpo...

So many good games, so little time to play them all! Outside of the basics (CAH, Catan, Ticket to Ride, etc) I really love the X-Wing miniatures game from Fantasy Flight. I don't have a lot of ships but I love the gameplay and cannot get enough of it. Betrayal at the House on the Hill is also a grea...

Definitely one of the greatest comics ever made, imho.

Of more recent ilk, "Jedi Steps" from TFA and "Your Father Would Be Proud" from R1 are my favorites from each movie.

Looks like the last comic I read was Optimus Prime #5. The only books I read regularly any more are the Transformers ones - everything else I wait for trades to go on sale or wait for for them to hit Comixology Unlimited.

I only play on weekends.

These are the games I have

Tombraider - Rise of the Tombraider

Home front

Alien - Isolation

Call of Duty Infininate Warfare and COD 4 remastered

Watchdogs 2

Watch Dogs 2 was a huge improvement over the first one

Ok, perfect venue for this question.Obviously Bodhi identifies them as "Rogue One" in the movie as they are violating orders to leave Yavin 4. Since Han was told the speeders weren't adapted to the cold on Hoth do we assume that the pilot searching for them the following morning, i.e. Rog...
