    Love it! But wait... a whole freakin year!!?

    I've been liking it a lot, even with a slower pace. At fifty episodes, they can't dump everything in the first five. Build the story up so we see what the stakes are for people, how much they are putting on the line and how much they don't want to risk. And how much they are eventually going to lose. I like how they folded the mithril in with the Balrog, and how much of it is needed in order to save the elves from... old age... I'm assuming this would then be the same Balrog that shows up in LoTR. For Isildur, he's young guy trying to find his direction. No one springs from the womb being exactly who they are from legend. I think he'll find his way once they reach Middle Earth and Mordor, I mean the Southlands. As for Galdrial and her armor, it is different than the armor from the first few episodes. I just assumed they had some lying about from the old days. They did go the west of Numenor, where the elves are still revered. Here she is in her in the original armor, just before they get on the ship And the second set of armor she got from Numenor, Have to say, I do like the second set better than the first. It 'looks' more elvish. And, it had some design cues with her brother's armor, making me think it is an older set that was gifted to her. Such as what I assume is the Evenstar on the chest piece.

    I imagine it wouldn't be too long before we see Luca's version.

    It's a good thing variable fighters are made out of animanium.

    Okay, it's been more than a week. Who bought one?

    Some fanfic probably has that covered.

    That guy flying the 'cat is NOT Tom Cruise! It's about who's in the 'pit! Just saw it today, and I loved it. I didn't think I would, as my reminiscence of the first movie is not that good. Generally, I just remember too much hokey-ness. But I loved the action and drama they were spinning out. Esp how Maverick would basically have been done if not for Ice constantly uplifting his career. Real great Kilmer in there too. These 'feelsz' yo! As to those 'feelz' I think not having seen the original in almost thirty years was a good thing, as when Maverick would clearly have his moments of nostalgia, I would remember those scenes too, though not as something I had just seen before this one. Just like the character, I was remembering things from thirty years ago, with that hazy quality that time gives any memory. Really added to the experience, esp with Maverick clearly wanting to settle down now As to the dog fights, even though there was a measure of unreality to them, they were still exciting and fun to watch. This was clearly aircraft porn! And as to the F-14 fight at the end, though exciting, I think it dragged the movie out a bit. Still glad to see it though! If they ever decide to continue this with Rooster as the main, I'd be in to see it!

    I really enjoyed that one, and am certainly willing to see what they cone up with next.

    As would I! EDIT Looking at the pic I posted, I had not realized that it was a VF-4, though a different variant. Smaller, sleeker, even looking like a prototype version. Would hate to have to bash into a VF-4 kit though, though things are 'spensive!

    @MechTech Thanks foe the pics. Looked like a good show. I went to Rocon 40 in Rochester NY, and here is the link for the pics of that. https://imgur.com/a/3eoUxz9

    @pengbuzz Going out or coming back?
  13. Thom
    This is so confusing!
  14. Thom
    Well, I'll keep an eye out for it when it comes again. In the mean time, I left a pair of pics on the first page, what are the chances of you taking on the first one?
  15. Thom
    True, but then Boba, if that is who we are talking about, is not a Mandalorian.
  16. Thom
    Dang weather! Can't we control that yet?

    An impressive array of planes!

    @MechTech Thank you!. It's all the magic of Perfect Plastic Putty, some sanding, and perspective! And yes, I would love to see some pics from PennCon!
  20. Thom
    HAHA!! That had be laughing for a good thirty seconds!

    Ready to defend the skies over Ukraine! Great looking model @electric indigo!
  22. Thom
    Didn't know where else to put this, but I saw this at my local Target tonight... About $25.
  23. Thom
    If it does, then you have a ride for Yamamoto as well!

    Important to keep in mind the difference between fictional command structures and reality. In Starfleet service, it just may be the norm (at least for officers who distinguish themselves) to be able to skip entire ranks.

    Damn @pengbuzz I knew I was sending that off to good hands, but you blew it out of the water! And then into space!! Love the rigging and the little cosmo fighter. Clearly it was stolen by a certain dimensional sub! And ugh! about the apartment woes. Sounds like it is way past time to get yourself and the better half outa there, and hopefully to something better. Good luck!
