    I allow 2 scissor patterns. No more. Every time we saw Messer vs. Keith, that’s all we saw.

    Supes’ roll is minor in this story cuz he died the last time we saw him. He has to do all the self-life questions after his resurrection.

    'Heard a story from family about millennials in their office giving blank stares when asked to get a letterhead sheet. My face: So I feel your pain/grumpiness/get-off-my-lawn. So did that kaiju at the end super sentai-gattai?

    After sitting through episode 3...

    Regardless, Enterprise's theme sequence made a hell of a lot more sense than Discovery's. Hell, every Star Trek opening theme sequence has made much more sense until Discovery came along.

    Disney To End Distribution Agreement With Netflix, Launch Streaming Service It will start in 2019 beginning with the movies and likely work it's way down the pipeline over time.

    Relative to time & technology, use, pilot, etc. A machine made 50 years after the original could be light years better, but that's a product of time. A bomber can carry more ordnance than a superiority fighter. Pilots could pull maneuvers in older jets that modern jets would have difficulty doing. Newer may not mean better. So when people say "the best", I say relative to what.

    But the corollary to this is, subscriptions went up and app downloads rose. Star Trek: Discovery’ Drives CBS Mobile App Downloads Up by 64% (Study) So relative to the situation, looks like they might come out even. But as I mentioned, Disney is launching their own streaming service and you don't even need to bet that will have their own original content (likely ABC's content will be rolled into this too). This is, unfortunately, going to be, the norm soon. Deny and hate it all you want.

    "Best" is relative.
  18. azrael
    Of course. People are already paying for Netflix, Amazon, (now that Handmaid's Tale won an Emmy, Hulu). Disney is getting into this stupid mix soon. We're paying for all this subscription madness. Who wouldn't pirate these shows?

    I'd probably watch episode 2 as it appears to be a 2-part pilot. That being said.... After watching the first 2 episodes...I'm still confused about the premise of this show. Opening theme/sequence: I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of watching the visuals. Every Star Trek opening sequence had some takeaway from the visuals. Is this supposed to be a blueprint or something? The theme is fine until the TOS chords play at the end, then it just sounds weird. Discovery's design seems to fit a pattern with the ships in this show. So I let that go but it still, it feels like it has too many sharp edges, especially on the Drive-section. Now for spoilery stuff...

    Do you get a chicken dinner if you win a round in Fortnite? If it does, I would say it's copying. Otherwise, PubG's notion of a claim is malarkey. It's a battle royale-type game. You could claim that any battle royale game is a ripoff of survival deathmatch-type games. The building structures aspect and property destruction feels like an interesting concept to bring into the game.

    This is true. This is just diligence on HG's lawyers. Tatsunoko has yet to pay the arbitration costs. It doesn't appear as if there are any financial troubles on either side, Tatsunoko just doesn't want to fork over the cash. When a renewal comes up, HG would likely want to maintain a "sweetheart" deal at bargain prices but considering how long Tatsunoko let the deal go for, Tatsunoko likely wants more out of the deal in this day and age.

    From what I've read, the main problem is filming in Winter, which means production didn't start until August this year (Filming is supposed to start in October). They can't film until late-December to February for those Winter shots. Then comes the complexity of production which will likely take up to 11 months after filming (based of Season 7's production timeline).
  24. azrael
    I imagine that will be the case. While Tatsunoko has been getting a (almost) free ride from HG, I don't think they had much say in what HG has done with their property. And they've had much leverage in getting more money with HG. On the other side, Big West has enjoyed the lime-light of all the Macross sequels. I imagine Tatsunoko will want to change that among many things with how they license their properties.
  25. azrael
    They could. But I wouldn't expect Tatsunoko to sell SDFM to Big West and/or Bandai without retaining something for themselves. As I mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if Tatsunoko (or the majority stake-holders) decided to reign in the IPs and repatriate their earnings. Not selling the rights is an option as much as renewing the rights with HG.
