    Get to the Hopper!!

    Wow, that Iron Mask trailer looks like every level of hokey.

    Awesome pics! I'm going to love seeing Steve getting a look at some modern aircraft.

    I did like the first season, so I'll give season 2 a shot.

    Finally saw this today, and it wasn't that bad. It could have used a more original plot, but for what it was I was entertained. Really liked Mackenzie Davis in this. Unfortunately, it falls into the category of Limbo movies. There won't be another one to continue the story, and even if they did it would more than likely follow similar themes to all the other false-starts that have followed T2. Which leaves Terminator and T2 as really the only true Terminator movies, similar to Alien and Aliens as being the only ones you really need to watch. Though, I did like Genysis and its time-bent take on the plot. That was trying something different which I enjoyed. Best part, Emilia Clark!

    It's looking nice. A little bit of weathering can cover a multiple of perceived 'sins.' Keep at it! Hey, real nice going on OP! I sure missed that First Gen look, at least until Bumblebee.

    Derex, is she a Klingon Kitty..? And Mechtech, lovely work on the reworked turret. Great stuff.

    The Eagelmoss XL Disco-Enterprise is almost the right size to fit into a true 1/1000 line up. If it wasn't almost eighty bucks I'd buy one. But they (Discovery) screwed up the scales trying to follow in JJ's fool prints and of course R2 had to follow along with the ginormous size-scaleing. I'll be buying one, but not the several I was planning on if they had gone with 1/1400 instead.

    Hmm, Dr. Strange and Deadpool sharing screen time. That would be interesting!

    Like Stormtrooper armor.
  11. Thom
    Rejoice, for the armor will be getting changed! According to Hissrich, the armor will be totally different - and hopefully actually look like armor! From this article - https://winteriscoming.net/2020/01/31/yes-nilfgaardian-armor-will-different-witcher-season-2/ - and the storyline will be more linear this time rather than jumping back and forth, and will pick up with the Blood of Elves. One thing I wished they had done was do it more chronologically from the start. Not completely certainly, but having Cintra fall more in the middle of the season would have had more emotional impact, and especially if they had done it in a more grand style. Seeing just the few high points robs it of that. And having never played the game or read the books, seeing the promos made me think it would be mostly all about Geralt and Ciri, so what seemed like 'tossing' in all these other characters with equally big parts was a little confusing. I kept waiting for Geralt and Ciri to meet up and the story to start! And that happened right at the last episode! Really psyched though as, after adjusting, I did like it a lot.

    You know, I bought the DVD for Willow not too long ago, and I have to say I enjoyed it just as much as I did when I was a kid! Being older now I can see the flaws, but I don't care. It was just fun!
  13. Thom
    Saw that at work. I love those skits! Those and the Kylo Ren Reacts videos.
  14. Thom
    That is a great looking plane!

    I'd trust JJ a lot more than RJ. RJ can't even write a good chase scene... Case in point, the Radus' escape pods were FTL capable and apparent;y went unseen by the First Order. But not even that, knowing only one ship was tracking them, why didn't the Resistance Fleet just scatter..? My hope, give it to someone else...

    Real nice concepts! I really like Rey with the double saber. The longer length would better allow her to leverage strength from both arms against a larger, physically stronger attacker. Also I like the idea of a Jedi using a weapon similar to Maul, esp since a staff technique would be easily adaptable to it. A lot of good ideas shown there, though yes, the execution is most important otherwise all they are, are still just good ideas... For Ben finding his way back, we'd have to use the Force-McGuffin. Perhaps his connection to Rey allowed him to find his way..? IDK. That's just guessing. Or, was the path stable enough that he could remember the way after having been through it once already? A map through a maze shows an established and stable path rather than one that continues to twist and shift from moment to moment. Otherwise the wayfinder would not work unless it was adaptive to the changing environment, which would be nearly impossible. Considering that Poe and the Resistance Fleet followed long enough after Rey went through for the route to have changed beyond any recognition, then I think it was stable enough in the long term for Ben to follow the remembered course. Good enough for me. Read 'Empire from the Ashes' by David Weber. An omnibus of his Mutineer's Moon series. Moon-sized, spherical warships dodging around like fighters. Some of his best work.

    Great looking 'work space.' I am jealous!
  18. Thom
    Oh well, in my head it's one taken from the stolen cruiser. It works that way. As for the Militia Fleet finding their way to Exogol, Lando was leading them, as he was present when they found out that Rey was transmitting the way through the 'fire maze.'
  19. Thom
    We don't know though if that was a TIE fighter from the dead Death Star or one from the cruiser the Storm Troopers stole when they deserted. I've seen the movie twice though I haven't looked close enough at the TIE he arrived in to see if it is an OT fighter or an FO fighter... If it came from the stolen cruiser then it does have a hyperdrive and I'll be sticking to that in my head-canon.
  20. Thom
    That's already an impressive looking ship!
  21. Thom
    I loved that scene! It was Ben reliving that moment and finally making the right choice, and ridding himself of Kylo Ren. I do have to say, up until that moment I wanted him to die! But coupling his transition back to the Light with that of Leia's death was a good idea. Leia sacrificed herself in order to finally reach her son, and I think she gave him an anchor in the Light by doing it. I think that was the reason her body did not disappear until her son's did and that's because she was with him that entire time.
  22. Thom
    Well, we already had the Empire and then the FO blowing up planets willy-nilly, killing billions in the process. The only thing the bad-guys didn't do was curse while doing it. And then of course is the problem of making your heroes little different from your baddies, and using the context of anything for the 'cause.' It won't take too long before the only way to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys is the colors of their uniforms. I'd be rooting for them to kill each other out and leave everyone else alone.
  23. Thom
    No prob M8!! Rumor has it they are going about four hundred years earlier, into what they are calling the High Republic era.
  24. Thom
    LOL!! Never really watched those movies, esp after seeing a muscle car flipping a full size bus. Definite high level of suspension of belief. Fun though.
  25. Thom
    I'm sure 1917 is great, but that wouldn't make me like TRoS any less for some reason. Still a good movie for me!
