    Don't see how fusion is good for weapons. Unlike Fission it is a very bad return on investment to get a fusion bomb. I'm not even a layman really but the hard part of fission is getting the fuel ready, which can be done remotely while fusion the fuel is plentiful but requires a HUGE amount of infrastructure to start (and maintain in the case of a reactor but not a bomb) the fusion.

    I doubt the movie will be any good but whoever came up with that trailer deserves an Oscar.

    Laser and Magnet technology has been scaling up very quickly for a good while now. The 10 years to a working reactor (not commercial but a working full time reactor) does not sound impossible.

    I've managed to do it with a number of shows, it can be tempting to look at the Andor thread here for instance since I have not watched it yet but I manage.

    On the flip side you can always wait till a show is done and binge it anyway. Unless the services start having viewing windows for their own shows.

    Homepage is asking for a login. Never saw that before.

    I can post here but the homepage is asking for a login, which I ignored since I never log in there and I was not sure the page was hacked.

    Nobody gave it a second (or even a first) thought. The alternative was to have Marty pop out of existence instantly and then how would he go back in time to fix it? (Don't answer that - there is not answer)

    The lack of maintenance is one of the things I hope gets addressed by Iger even though the lack started under his watch - it just got really bad the last couple years. Rides going down more often and the general lack of cleaning and "polish" has been notable lately.

    Which, with our current level of understanding (IE, none) means pretty much nothing.

    The Epcot crater or the RR being out of commission for years shows that even easy peazy has not been so easy for Disney lately.

    In the trailer he appears to be shown at multiple points in time, not just pre-WWII and not just the "present" (whatever that is, late sixties or early seventies). So time travel may be involved or the story may be taking part over a long arc of time. At any rate it looks good.

    I still need to give this a watch (so many other things to see now though, spoiled for choice instead of the scifi/fantasy desert of a few years back). I don't expect much, Willow the movie was not really good, kinda mediocre really but had a bunch of well done parts to it. Warwick Davis did great and his character was good for example but most of the others were cookie cutter. So to end the rambling, if the series is decent fun I'll be happy.

    The Merger with Apple seems far fetched at best - if that does not setoff anti-monopoly alarms then nothing would. Also - A LOT of what went wrong can be traced back directly to Iger's time. With the exception of Chapek being a horrible spokesperson. The tone of the messages Iger is putting out versus what Chapek said is nearly a 180 while the substance is the same - layoffs and hiring freezes. As for Star Wars in particular. Movie wise tt has underperformed, BADLY, so no matter what the reason the person at the top is going to go one way or the other.

    Somebody tell Captain Hook!

    My friend summed that up as "Scotty is back! - oh and on a side note we have a Dyson sphere too, just in case anyone is interested but probably not"

    Your deadpan might be stronger than my deadpan. Not really sure which though.

    Here is one on the Enterprise C (well, a sister ship to it - the curator explains). Neat to see the comments on how it was built for filming TV episodes and NOT as a display model.

    More like early Babylon 5 (with songs instead of just talking). All the interesting stuff happens off screen and the characters talk about it. (not exactly - since very little interesting stuff happens). In macross (the original) there is plenty of action to go with the singing. Later Macross shows it varies.

    If she likes singing she should like it. If not there is really not much going on, lots and lots of exposition (lots of it through singing) and not much elsewise.

    I watched, most, of Disenchanted last night. I wasn't expecting much since it was a straight to D+ sequel and the promos did not look interesting either. The original was a great little Romp that made good fun of the genre. This one tried to get the same magic back but misfires. The songs were just not that interesting and dragged on IMHO. Then near the end I just turned it off so I'm not exactly sure how it ends and will probably never know...

    Not just call backs, it was one of the very few instances in the show where a character changed and the change stuck in future episodes. This episode is second only to the one where Picard goes home and "reconciles" with his brother. Brilliant performances by both actors in that one.

    Your lucky. I've only seen very little of it and have no desire to see any more. Dreadful (I read some reviewer gave it a B+ rating - insanity)
  24. Dynaman
    That counts as just at the edge...

    I started watching this the other day and ended up turning it off. Nowhere near as good as the original or even the Richard Thomas one. Perhaps it gets better later in the movie. It skips right over nearly all of the training sequences and picks right up with them going into the trenches giving us no time to really get to know any of the cast - which makes it impossible to care about them when they die off one by one (though even the dying off one by one appears to be missing from this version). It also takes place in 1917 - by then the thrill of the war had long since worn off even for schoolboys - just so we could have a forgettable scene about Paul getting the uniform of a dead soldier. Long story short - watch the original.
