Antonine's comment also reminds me of what may be happening now with Planet Nine: apparently the model explained things the scientists were not at all looking for it to explain. That one is still up in the air and should be considered hypothetical until we get confirmed images of it, but if proven it'll be another case…
I would go with your proposal if only they would implement it. But I have to admit, the response to Tribble feedback has never been inspiring. And that's putting it mildly. :(
I actually feel the opposite about what happened with SW. Before it was just TOO daunting for me to get into the EU. Now canon is more manageable and it feels more welcoming to me as a previously much more casual fan than what I became because of TFA. (Thanks, Kylo Ren! ;) )
@whamhammer1 makes a great point. Setting up a fight against a straw man doesn't have the desired effect of making the "good guys" look stronger. It instead makes them weaker because everyone realizes they are not facing a real and credible challenge. It's actually one of the marks of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu character or…
So cool! I go to a con in March and they usually have a hard science panel or two...between this and the calculations indicating a possible Planet Nine, I am gonna have a blast at those panels!
Of course the loss of the Na'kuhl star would create a refugee crisis, but it really looks as though the writers just pulled this whole business of the Feds calling the Na'kuhl all sorts of horrible names and such out of thin air. Prior to their deciding to get all "current events" with it, there was exactly zero to…
At the VERY least, the authors utterly failed to give nuance to the situation by showing us nothing that would even begin to explain the hamfisted insults the Feds started hurling at the Na'kuhl for no reason. I mean, what are we supposed to think, the galaxy freaked out because they thought the Na'kuhl were ugly and…
You know, I understand Abrams' Star Trek work had its flaws, but I find far more rewatchability in his stuff than this plot arc. @millybun hit on a lot of the problems I have with the writing here. I am convinced that before they decided to shoehorn politics into it, that the plot trajectory was going to be something else…
Oh for frak's sake. This whole plot line is so forced it's not even funny. Really starting to think I am going to skip this entire story arc, which is the first time I've ever done that, but I think this grab for the headlines has really made whatever plot was supposed to have been there before fall completely off the…
I have not seen one thing about "chemtrails" on Fox News...trust me, this mess isn't coming from there. Better to blame the "History" or "Learning" Channels, based on my observation, because the amount of conspiracy and pseudoscience garbage those two channels are hawking is truly astounding. As for me, I don't see any…
@grylak, thank you so much for reading! I really appreciate your kind words. The song really helped to inspire it. It was the first music I thought of as soon as I went back in time to Iconia when playing "Midnight" the first time. A lot of pain and loss there to work with.
As a Windows user my hope is that dropping Mac support will allow them to fix the crashing issues on the Windows side since there will now only be one version of the client instead of trying to support two.
I am not a fan of this at all. Not only am I being pushed around horribly as a player, but it's clearly being done in an EXTREMELY strained attempt to "be timely" and "ripped from the headlines." It's not even done intelligently. I feel like I've been shoved into one of the worst, most poorly written, most Anvilicious…
Knowing Leia was pregnant doesn't mean knowing what the child looked like after she was born...though I am almost sure he would've known the gender. But...Kylo and Rey in the same age group? I actually had the impression she was a good bit younger than him.
That said, that aptitude could have come down the Solo-Skywalker line as well as from Luke. Personally I think Leia may have been pregnant with Rey when Kylo snapped. If Rey had her memory wiped at some point (perhaps from fear of Kylo's extreme telepathic powers), then her name--which was likely taken from that Rebel…
