    The Haunting of Bly Manor. Been out for a few months, Oct 9. Really good story and told without the usual jump scares expected of haunted stories. The cast were great and the stories wove together nicely with a few nice surprises in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tykS7QfTWMQ https://www.netflix.com/title/81237854

    LOL!!

    T'would be a shame to close that interior up! But it would also be a shame to leave the model unfinished. I'm so confused! Looking good! Nice modulation in the color.

    ...Sam Wilson who becomes the new Black Panther, leaving the way open for Bucky to be Captain America!

    Sign me up for that! A very promising story still just needing a better follow-through!

    Well, if Strange New Worlds doesn't come about, then I'd probably stop watching STD... Pike and Co were a big part of what made season 2 of Discovery so interesting. Looked about and found this from 6 days ago. So, hopefully still moving along. https://www.techradar.com/news/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-release-date-cast-and-what-we-know

    Would much rather stick with the Burn or the Emerald Chain. Georgiou's problem should stay a minor plot-line in favor of the two bigger stories. This feels like filler, and certainly doesn't deserve to have a two-parter! And I was under the impression that the door merely sent her tripping through her memories, rather than across time and dimension, though convenient certainly. I'm much more interested in the developing AI aboard Discovery though. And maybe them FINALLY GOING TO THE SPOT WHERE THE BURN STARTED seeing as that was the whole point, right?!

    The shuttle definitely struck a Romanticized chord of space flight for its day. What? It lands like a plane?! And the first one (glide-test only) is named Enterprise?! Cool! But yes, it was more of a rocket than a plane and sadly never lived up to the hyped reusability. The Air Force is flying the X-37, but that is nowhere near even the size of the shuttle, or its truck-like capacity. Although through it a little bit of the shuttle's mystique still exists. One of the best hopes for an actual 'spaceplane' is probably the SABRE engine, or something else like it. A plane with an engine that could work in atmo as well as space, taking off from a runway but with some fully reusable, detachable rockets for assist out of the gravity well, would be real cool to see!

    By doing it yourself, you're getting far more immediate results and with far more appreciation in the end. Great looking door!

    Apparently far more user friendly!

    what'you talkin about..? I'm just saying, unless the computers are constantly updating with some central Imperial Remnant, then the scan they have of his face may not have survived the blast.
  12. Thom
    Well, who knows. The Resistance got its can kicked in TLJ so maybe there aren't many T-70s left, so they start out using old 65s.
  13. Thom
    ...which more than likely wrecked the computer system that did the scan. So it may not have any consequences at all, other than showing Dinn that maybe he can trust some people to see his face and that maybe the Way does not have to be the Way, but still be the Way. With Bo-Katan and Boba not wearing helmets all the time maybe he'll loosen up a little.

    I like all the barrels flashing, but I wonder about the color of the tower windows..?

    As of now, Rogue Squadron is being set after The Rise of Skywalker. So, no OT side missions, and apparently no Force... https://www.indiewire.com/2020/12/new-star-wars-movie-patty-jenkins-rogue-squadron-announced-1234603696/

    Same here! It's so cool seeing them come down like the 60's sci fi rockets. And though I would love to see an actual working spaceplane, one that starts and ends at a normal runway, I'd rather they stay focused on VTOL.
  17. Thom
    I totally agree and don't mind it at all. As long as it's not just fan-service. But still, even those two seconds melted so many snowflakes.

    It's also weight. Yes, there's weight in the fuel needed to slow it down and land, but that lessens as they go along. The weight from the gear, which will always be a complicated set up, would be something carried all the way from launch to landing. Also, getting it to land on a small pad makes it easier than having to build a long runway on Mars.

    Kennedy can do good for Star Wars - by not being in charge of it! As shown by Favrue (sp) when the creator of the show is given the freedom and knows the subject and wants to do it justice, then something good can come from it. I'm hoping with Patty Jenkins that, just like WW, she has creative freedom to make a good movie. I'm optimistic. About two seconds at the end of TRoS.

    Saw that flight and loved every second of it. Kept thinking 'go baby. go!' And 'please don't mess up!!' But yes, that was an awesome flight. Poor bird just didn't have enough room to slow down. But, onto the next one!

    And toss a Spider Gwen in there!
  22. Thom
    I would love that! Maguire's first Spiderman movie is still my favorite in live-action.
  23. Thom
    Looking good. Will the motor have variable speed control so you can really whip it around the tower? Good looking update! Ol' Bert is looking better and better!

    Sharing this pearl.

    Cool episode. Love it! Bring on the next!
