    Those ships break the rule of cool though, they are lame...
  2. Dynaman
    The thing I don't like about the ship (and the other vertical ones like it - only one coming to mind was Spock's ship from Star Trek 2009 but I know there are other SW examples) are that they make no sense. Why design something that has to go through such shenanigans to land when it gives no benefit?

    I've been in computer programming for decades now, every few years a new "coderless" scheme comes along and it never works. The reason is that a coder does not just write code, a coder (if they are worth anything) knows how to figure out exactly what needs to be asked to get the solution the client wants. The same is true for this technology, so far it has rendered very nice adaptations of things people have already done but nothing new.

    We bought it on one of the streaming services. Not bad but they did drag the plot through too much run time.

    TV and movies will not be going away anytime soon, the distribution method may (almost certainly will) change however. Eventually the new way of doing so profitably (enough) will come along. Just like it did with the music industry a couple decades ago.

    That Snakedance snake was Dr. Who lack of budget at its worst. That thing was pathetic and not even in the charming pathetic way many Dr. Who FX are done.

    Leaving Ms Marvel and She Hulk out since I didn't even watch them and may never do so - which in and of itself may be an indicator of the problem Disney is facing (and not because *I* in particular didn't watch them), the other shows were all at least decent and to expect more from every (or even most) of the shows is expecting far too much. That is the gist of the problem, too little new content and people will unsubscribe due to not having a beneficial cost/ratio while too much content may keep people subscribed but it costs too much to make all that for just a streaming release.

    That world between worlds thing (and the ability to "time travel" in it is one of the worst things the show added. That kind of thing has to be done VERY carefully or it ruins everything. In Rebels it was kind of added and forgotten about too. Plus it was near the end of the Rebels run so no time to really have the implications of it play out.

    Can we change the title to Orguss WAS back? That will keep me from getting too excited every time this comes back from the dead.

    What Disney really found out is that the streaming market is not going to support all the high cost content they were churning out. The streaming market is oversaturated.

    So far it appears they have different costumes for each episode, which works fine for me since this particular doc seems to have some fine fashion sense.
  12. Dynaman
    Nope. My wife and I have zippo knowledge of the Expanded universe and love The Mandalorian (Bobba Fett's show not so much).

    The reason replacing leads with younger cast was not a thing was mainly due to the sequel Box Office becoming a thing in the eighties (Superhero franchises being more recent) so the stars from those movies are just now getting too old to continue in the part. So studios have the choice of recasting (which doesn't work), passing the torch (which also doesn't work), or coming up with new stuff (which is currently unthinkable). Note - all three options have exceptions.

    The point was that when it was a male character (Mutt) taking over nobody felt obliged to specifically mention it was a male character that bombed.
  15. Dynaman
    Would it be acceptable for the million times/franchises in the past where a male character tried to take over and failed?

    Considering the next Mission Impossible movie is out next weekend the take for Indy is probably not going to be helped along much. I may not end up watching the movie at the theater simply due to length, the old bladder can't handle nearly 3 hour movies without a break any longer.
  17. Dynaman
    Back to this movie (and others in general). The Imax release schedule is back to normal. I didn't get a chance to see it last weekend and this coming weekend another release is already bumping it out of theaters. Bummer!

    Mutineer's Moon is a fun read but nowhere near Hard Sci-Fi. Modern Pulp is more like it. (This is based on "Hard" sci-fi being mostly science with one or two well explained changes)
  19. Dynaman
    More like the reality of most shows, across any medium, just are not going to be great. I have no interest in most of the Marvel stuff so can't comment on those but most of the D+ Star Wars shows have been worth watching, not all are great, many are so so and the Fett Vespa Gang was just plain terrible. On the whole however the channel is well worth as a source of pulpy SciFi that I like.
  20. Dynaman
    Streaming shows not doing great? One not top notch season of Mandalorian and it is time to get out the old Eddie Murphy skit already?
  21. Dynaman
    Crusade was just catching its stride when it was cancelled. I would have loved to see more of that. Hopefully it gets some attention in the animated movie. If someone from that show was mentioned as being in the movie already I did not notice it.
  22. Dynaman
    The closest we have to updated B5 effects is from the direct to video "The Lost Tales". In at least one of them there is a very short (30 seconds or so) battle scene and it is great. Sadly the actual stories are Meh at best. The FX during the show improved a lot each season. Watch the first season renders of B5 in the credits versus season 5 to see how much they improved. Even so the detail would not look good in 4K.
  23. Dynaman
    And of course this entire recent discussion started from pictures "from a failed attempt a few years back"...
  24. Dynaman
    Have to say that trailer does absolutely zippo for me. It is B5 so I will still watch it. I watched Legend of the Rangers and still consider myself a fan so...
  25. Dynaman
    I've never seen the 2nd move the entire way through (that opening song and dance number was excruciatingly painful so I turned it off) and what's her name's acting was painful too. Perhaps I suffer through it to see Short Round some more (caught a couple seconds of him driving, I think that was him). He would make a good character to bring back for the next film (or series, etc...)
