For me, the physics of how pieces of the DSII survived atmospheric entry are unimportant. Much less which way it was facing or how powerful on a nuclear-scale the explosion was or where exactly Palpatine's throne room was in relation to the dish's circumference, or... It's science fiction. If we want we could say that the construction materials used in the DSII were so strong that the magnitude of it wouldn't even be measurable by today's standard. It could be that, to us, it would be considered completely indestructible, and thus the fact that it was destroyed would be a confounding mystery to us hairless monkeys who have barely even scratched the moon's surface in our own dinky little star system, that in itself would be considered a backwater's backwater to a place such as Jakku. It's fantasy only based on science, and pretty loose science at that, that is more akin to magic than anything concrete. It really just kind of sucks the wonder out of it. Tell yeah, I would have loved even that little bit of an explanation for Snoke! They really screwed up the story arc by playing Blindman's Bluff with TLJ's plot. -
Well, I still got the zings from watching the trailer. It looks adventurous, dramatic and exciting which, honestly, the trailers have always managed to do. I'm looking forward to seeing it in theater a couple times at least. Yes, TLJ dropped the ball in a bad way, and by TLJ I mean Johnson, Kennedy and Abrams as well, but TFA was exciting and fun and I'm trusting Abrams to deliver that at least. I'm also hoping they've learned from the bad responses and do a few 'course corrections' that keep us out of the dreaded 'mystery box' complex. If I had my wish, Palpatine's return would have happened during TLJ, to really feel it grow organically. Have it happen in the background, with him subtly pulling Snoke's strings (and giving us an explanation for Snoke in the offing) with his final reveal at the very end. Not what we got though. So, is it going to feel a bit rushed then, throwing him in at the end and trying to get the answers that were never picked up after TFA? Probably. But I'm alright with that as long as I get good answers and an exciting ride, and a meaningful end to wrap it all up.

For me it's feeling more contrived than anything else. Unless she's suffering from some kind of mental breakdown or acute psychosis, I find it hard to think that she can't understand or see how evil her intentions are. They say that this is a battle for Lena's soul, but I think it may be more a fight for her sanity. In that way, I'm really hoping this is more Hope's doing, seeing how often Lena is connected through the contact/interface things. Maybe Hope is subtly influencing her thoughts and action. But if she is in her right mind, then I see little way other than more contrivance for her to get away with an 'oh sorry, I was angry/hurt, my bad.' This is incredibly worse than Kara just not telling her she was Supergirl. This is Lex-level of criminal intent. I have to say I was much happier when she was just angry and wanting Kara to 'pay' for making her feel left out and 'betrayed.' At least that is more rational than Lena wanting to mind-control everyone.

Same.. I've been liking it, in fact better than SG this season. Also wish they had more of a lawless look to Gotham. There are a lot of homeless around Wayne Tower, but very little evident crime.

For the luv of all that Holey, get those cats some BIGGER boxes!!
-
That is a cool bit of easter egg!
-
Arbit, that is a cool looking lil carrier!
-
I got the final color on my Do 335. It's under gloss coat now and getting ready for decals and then weathering.
-
Cool work on the elevator. Nice motion to it. Those Woody faces actually look a little freaky... That's cool. What scale is it?
-
So, what did everyone think of Batwoman? Myself I though it was pretty good. It seemed to be standard CW fare which are good in their own way or I wouldn't be watching them. I think RR suited the role really well, both in and out of the suit and I'm looking forward to next Sunday.

Lost in Space series a Netflix adventure?
Thom replied to 007-vf1's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nice! Was looking forward to this. -
Not to get spoilery, but it was very slow and low energy, and anti-climactic. Great visuals though!
-
Want more ST!!
-
If nothing else, this is going to look pretty damn cool!
-
Finally getting some color on the top side!
-
They look a little on the short/stubby side. But they look great though! Any idea on prices per scale? So, you're saying you got a Woody...
-
Wow, that's a relief! Thanks.
-
Does he lose Aunt May too..!?

The model currently being worked on on my table,
-
That Hagrid's Hut looks very promising. Cool way to sneak your kid into modeling! Cool work on those blast deflectors too.
-
He looks fantastic! And no I will not fight you. I'll take the guys on the right, you got the left. We'll crush them between us!
-
That would depend on how good her career has gone! Personally, I'd love to see BoP brought back. That was Berlanti-verse before Berlanti!

Such as the Me-262 Project. New built Swallows that just lack the Jumo engines. The Romantic in me wants to say any plane built from historical parts is then considered historical and 'original.' But there must be a point which the line is crossed between rebuild and recreation.

I would love to see a Batman Beyond series! Would be awesome! And is this confirmed news..? http://collider.com/arrow-spinoff-series-katie-cassidy-the-cw/ If so that would be great too. There was never enough Katie Cassidy on Arrow!
