    Like your color choices there @nonner242. And is that the Car?!
  2. Thom
    Fav! (some bad language.) ((Yeah, yeah, it's Deadpool...)

    What a great film! The plot did seam to lose its way a few times - but I didn't care! Deadpool and Pulverine, on the screen, together! It was a wild and fun ride and right of there with the best of Deadpool. I just have one caveat... Otherwise, an awesome movie, I hardly felt the hours go by.

    Which is odd since they've had great success with the 'Disney Princess' theme. You'd think it would be easy to translate that formula to another franchise. To be clear, I have very little problem with 'girl power,' in fact less than most apparently, but even I can see when they've stubbed their toes.

    Need to watch out for the Carpet Monster with those!
  6. Thom
    For a Hot Wheels?! Dang that is tiny!

    Yeah, I don't need 'dark and gritty' in Star Trek. The same thing bit it in Battlestar Galactica, and Paramount can't seem to do it well anyway. Give me Star Trek Legacy, Paramount!

    The first Shrek was perfect.

    @HWR MKII Wow, she looks great!
  10. Thom
    Yeah, I have to say that I have no interest in this Section 31 thing. Give me Star Trek Legacy!

    Season 3 teaser is out. Or, more of a clip. Anson has even more bigger hair!
  12. Thom
    Yeah, I'd rather watch it in one go. And I do have the Celestial Ark movie! That was great!
  13. Thom
    If so, the question is, do I watch it episode by episode or wait until it is all out!?
  14. Thom
    ENVYUU!! I'll have to wait until it is streaming and English subtitled!😪
  15. Thom
    Looking forward to see how it goes.

    I wonder if, when it comes out, you could contact the company and just get specific parts..? I did the same with Moebius, contacting them direct when they were doing the Galactica models, and even buying 'damaged' kits.
  18. Thom
    Shouldn't he get the third one out before he does a Director's Cut?
  19. Thom
    I'm hoping things get better for you real soon, but you are already doing the most important part yourself, giving yourself a pep talk and then actually getting up and getting things done. Rooting for you!

    Definite shades of Nostromo. Quite a small ship too.
  21. Thom
    Looks great there, @pengbuzz! Your friend is going to really like that. Also glad you did not Hulk Smash! the Legios-1 (bits.) Let it sit, either you'll try it again, or the parts can come in handy.😉

    I can see the criticism of the OG crew being 'broken down' or 'miserable.' We all have our highs and lows, and the lows are seen as far more 'dramatic.' (a far too over-used trope, IMO.) Two little changes could have fixed that. For Han and Leia, they should have had them still together and happy, but with Han off not just looking for the Falcon but also for any news about Ben/Kylo and Luke. Leia is still a General having retired from the Senate for the same reasons she did in the movie. And the second, Luke is in hiding/thought dead, but he's not really hiding, as he is in secret communications with Leia and is more working behind the scenes to find a way to counter Kylo's influence, and trying to find out anything he can about the mysterious leader of the First Order who just seemed to appear out of nowhere. Rey and Finn's story is pretty much unchanged, though when Rey is captured we hear a whispering voice coaching her in her mental confrontations with Kylo Ren. An underlying plot could have been Snoke trying to pit Rey against Kylo, as both a test of his apprentice, or even as a replacement for he feels her strength is equal to Kylo's? However, after Kylo kills Han (which Ford had wanted since Empires) he is solidified as Snoke's Apprentice, Leia is heartbroken (drama) and all seems lost. Then Rey faces Kylo in the woods, and the voice we hear now is not Snoke's but Luke's. Luke felt Han's death and his attention is now focused away from Snoke, which is a good and bad thing as Snoke/Kylo now become more aware of him and that he is not dead or cowering somewhere. Good guys rally and destroy Starkiller Base! Also, the beam from Starkiller Base hits just one planet, not several, but it is still the one currently hosting the Senate, and the beam is a wormhole weapon, neatly short-cutting shooting half way across the known galaxy! The power to open the wormhole is powered from the planet's core. Of course, reading that, a number of points have been raised before as explaining certain events, but the general gist is the same.

    Ooh, nice little flash of Lightning there @Bolt!

    Not having read the Relaunch books, I have to say, I like how that handled her in Prodigy much better!

    I think she was a strong character, but she deferred on crucial decisions* to her captain. Both times it was on her shoulders, when Dallas was off ship and after he had died, she was making the calls, even though there were very few at that point to make. Her arc though Alien/Aliens was done very well. Yeah but *when Dallas was off ship and trying to get a sick crewman an alien pathogen on board, she was steadfast and said no. Now, that cold be strength of character, or just clinging to the Book, but in either case the story would have ended right there. Why do you make me laugh at poor dead Jeki?!?! Exactly. Which just shows poor decision making for the plot. It was thirty years after, there was no need to poison-pill the OT's legacy or its characters. Life does go on after the credits role, but far too often writers go for the low-hanging fruit of drama, such as Han and Leia being estranged and Luke not willing to fight for the Good in his nephew the same way he did for his father. Luke done dirty! Too true! Many great actors in the prequel trilogy, and many many, many, wooden acting as a result of bad directing! Well, we do see her struggle trying to use it, similar to Obi-wan in his series, but I put that more because of an emotional block. I would theorize that she knew the darkness within her, but was fighting it until she learned Sol killed mother.
