    That... that... that... was very silly. Yet also... hugely enjoyable. Possibly the highlight of the current season for me! And once again, Gatwa does rage so well. Before he goes, whenever that is, they have to get some Daleks in...

    I know, I know - hyperspace travel in "Star Wars" works however the writers need it to. But that system map has everything much "closer" together than it feels like it should. Its one of those cases where whats depicted in-universe is at odds with my head canon. 😄

    So, as much as I really enjoyed "Andor", there is one little thing thats been bugging me... and thats travel times. It seems like most of the locations visited are within a "days" travel from anywhere else. That doesn't bother me too much for, say Corsucant and Ghorman, but it does make it feel like a certain Rebel base is pretty damn close to the seat of Imperial power. It may just be because I remember how hyperspace worked in the old West End Games RPGs so it just feels a bit odd in comparison...

    I can think of a few incidents where there were warnings or at least investigations afterwards revealed that there were at least hints of possible future trouble that were overlooked or not considered serious enough to investigate, but I think its going to be difficult to provide examples without violating commenting policy. And they were also not expecting Mothma to speak; Organa out rules-lawyered them at the last moment. Her speech was also fairly short once she laid out her background, which may be why they didn't shut it down in time. At the end of the day, though, sometimes drama just gotta drama. 😄

    I suppose an argument could be made that there have been a number of real world examples where security services have been caught with their, er, Stormtrooper armour down.

    Apologies for the guideline violation,sorry, I was using an image size reducing app and I thought that had reduced the size enough but clearly not. I realise that's the same mistake I made last time but I thought this time I'd done things correctly.

    Its been a bit of a mixed bag - first one was pretty but felt like a lot of ideas not really gelling into an episode, second was good fun but maybe a bit rushed and third was all round pretty great (and for a show often mocked for its "bubble wrap" monsters, its amazing how much value the rebooted series have got out of I do really like Gatwas Doctor. When they allow him to, he can be downright scary and I really hope he gets the chance to meet his most famous old foes...

    Today's other pick-up, a very nice G1 Thrust, complete except without the box. I always liked his Lancaster style twin tail design over the other Seekers (and, yes, I know the Lancaster has a different rudder shape but it's the most famous twin tailed aircraft from where I'm from). ======================Mod Warning=============== 1. Maximum uploads of 3 pictures of a toy even if you bought two. That means if you bought DC Batman you can post a combination of boxed and opened pics of up to three here. Anymore than three will get the post deleted. If you bought another copy of the same DC Batman toy that does not constitute as a different toy and does not earn you three new photos. The moderation team considers that spamming and will be deleted. Text link to an external photo gallery if you have more than three pictures to share. 2). Image size: Height maximum per toy will now be set to 2400pixels for 3 pictures combined. That means one high resolution picture at 2400pixels or three decent resolution picture of 800pixels each.

    Possibly the oddest Captain Harlock I've ever seen, I had to have it!

    If you select the Ideon, does (hidden as it could be considered a major spoiler for "Space Runaway Ideon", though I'm probably over-reacting to something thats a bit open to interpretation anyway).
  11. F-ZeroOne
    I am aware; but the way a couple of scenes are shot are very similar to the way they are portrayed in Edit: ignore second "Spoiler"; mistyped and doesn't appear to be any way to delete?
  12. F-ZeroOne
    Really enjoying this - I didn't expect the first couple of episodes to have something of a "Monty Python" vibe! And neither did I ever expect "Star Wars" to almost certainly directly reference And in other ways "Andor" is shaking up "Star Wars", a Stormtrooper...
  13. F-ZeroOne
    They made that one, but they called it "Top Gun" for some reason. 😄

    Can blue skies in video games explode?

    Regards the "starter key" size - it could be thats because they're milspec, and designed for harsher environments (such as, well, SPAAAAAAACEEEE... ). The actual, erm, to use the technical term "gubbins" might be fairly small but if it has to interface with other things (like a military systems interface bus). Yes, I realise this doesn't explain why the GM keys in "Requiem" are essentially USB stick size (though we are presumably talking about different timelines and from memory the original "Gundam" series had a lot of what I like to call "Disco Tech"... 🙂). We also see that Zakus in this timeline are being used as Police machines, when presumably at the start of the war they were essentially state-of-the-art before the Gundam came along. There are organisations, even private individuals, that can operate former military hardware in the present age, though I admit with a lot more backing and support than being a bunch of kids in a shanty town and usually with the make-things-boom stuff deactivated (usually... ). Its possible it will be revealed they have more backing that we haven't seen yet (as of time of writing I haven't seen episode 3).
