Everything changed when the Chfire nation attacked...
MURDERER, Daniel Perry.
Say it louder for the people in the back.
Yes, the understanding was "everywhere in the US" since HOAs are pretty much exclusive to the US.
Whether it's true or not, it's kind of weird you assumed anyone references is "progressive" or "not progressive"
HOAs are everywhere and I've never met anyone under the illusion that the HOA Karens/Kyles are strictly conservative.
It's a weirdly political comment on a non-political meme from a non-political meme page.
Universe is a very different show.
It's slower paced, it feels a little bit like they were trying to cash in on the "mysterious things happen" and "long continuous story that if you miss one or two episodes you might be completely Lost", pun intended since it feels like that's the energy they were going for, from Lost.
Personally, I liked it. It's slower paced than Atlantis was, less action packed, and heavily focuses on character drama.
And also leaves a massive fucking cliffhanger to end the series, from my understanding. I haven't finished it because I knew they canceled it without finishing the story.
I love Eureka, but poor decisions were made regarding the sg-1/eureka "rivalry". Basically the funding and attention left Stargate and went to eureka. They should both have recieved the attention they deserved but that's a whole other rant lmao
The ascension thing comes back and gets more explained, Daniel dies multiple times (3 maybe?) but the last time is part of a multi-episode arc that shows what his ascension experience is like (this time anyway) and it's more or less understood that he can't die again and expect to come back, and he might not even be able to ascend again period (though I don't believe either are expressly stated, just my take)
Farscape is a great show, and some of the characters even have regular roles in late seasons of sg1.
Honestly I don't watch seasons 1-3 often. I usually start at the end of season 3 or even up to halfway through season 4.
There are a few continuing stories from earlier seasons, especially the introduction of a few friendly species, but I feel like the recaps will give you enough to go on, and if you're really curious you can read a plot synopsis.
I'm not aware of any sort of unofficial list of must-watch episodes and probably-skips, but a good place to start is the season 3 finale, and go from there.
Replicators (the earlier blockier version of those nanites) infect an Asgard ship (the small Grey aliens) and they come to earth for help. "you came to us because you weren't dumb enough?" is a paraphrased line.
If you don't care about spoilers I could go into a little more detail since it's not quite a multi-part episode, but it does go directly from one to the next in short order.
The first three episodes of s4 are good, IMO. Episode 4 not so much but it does get referenced a lot in later episodes. When my wife and I watched, I gave her a summary of that episode, but she has a shorter attention span. It's a dialogue-heavy episode that kick starts a vendetta for one character. Good if you like drama.
Stargate is hands-down my favorite show of all time.. It ties with firefly, but firefly usually takes top spot because it's short and sweet.
Seasons 1-3 are a little rough as with many shows that started out with serialization and all that, but seasons 3.5-6 are great, and seasons 6-10 are some of the best television I've ever seen.
They either learned from star trek, or just figured it out themselves that diplomatic and non action episodes can be just as riveting as action-packed explosion fests. Measure of a Man is first to come to mind for star trek. I'll never skip that episode no matter how bored my wife gets.
The meme potential is endless. And there are so many inside jokes and references use in daily life that nobody else gets.
There's a non-original quantum leap? Pass.
That's like when someone was talking to me about how much they loved MacGyver, only to find out that someone made a reboot. And apparently it's not great, but I haven't seen it so I have no idea. I also have no desire to see it because you don't improve upon perfection.
Also it's great watching O'Neill (two Ls) put a teenage Teal'c in his place with a little humility in one episode. Some small paypack for future boxing workouts on base I guess. It's always weird hearing Christopher judge speak normally instead of his Teal'c speech pattern.
That's why I have no opinion when people around me complain about Rings of Power. I haven't seen it. I don't plan on watching it any time soon, but also partly because I'm afraid I won't like it.
And I don't want to dislike something that's lord of the rings, even if it's just a poor adaptation.
"so what are you in for?"
"I wrote my tag on an important wall. You?"
"I murdered my entire family when my wife overcooked my fish"
"I can tell we will be friends, we're birds of a feather."
Honestly a 40k fine for me might as well be life-ending. Possibly self-inflicted, depending on my mental state at the time.
Community service makes much more sense.
I'd make him do like 5 hours of CS for every year since the archeology site was inhabited, and 200 hours for every offence. The older the site, the more you have to work off. The more you deface, the more you work off.
I mean, those are just random numbers I pulled out of my ass but you get the idea.
Give me 750ft^2 and 5 acres of woods with enough sunny space for growing some food.
I'd be thrilled.
My wife's best friend, however, has decided their 3500ft^2 2.5 floor + basement house on 3-4 acres with two sheds and a small barn (or xl shed?) isnt enough space for 2 dogs 3 cats and her and her husband.
They just bought this house last year.
I do not understand some people.
To give the illusion that fate was on their side.
I make a point not to kill my players unless they make a habit of doing dumb shit, or it's "almost" happened a couple times already.
Especially if I get several good rolls or they get several bad rolls in a row.
The game should be fun for everyone, and if even one player goes home upset with the session I will have considered my night a failure as DM.
Not that I consider it a failing or even "bad" if someone else kills off their players. Everyone has different expectations from games and I've seen fantastic role playing of deaths before.
One player ripped their heart out of their own chest, chugging a health potion to stay alive long enough to place it in their spouse who had just died died, and another player healed the spouse.
They asked me if I would allow that and honestly it sounded cool enough that I was all for it.
I know someone who takes a weird amount of pride in having never seen star wars.
Like, mocks people for liking "such a childish piece of garbage", has to butt in every time he overhears someone talking about it to let everyone know "I've never seen it and no I won't watch it with you"
So far not a single person I've spoken to has wanted to watch it with him anyway.
Like it's cool if you don't like it, it's cool if you've never seen it, but like.... Come on Bro.
I'm currently rewatching season 3 of futurama, season 6 of Stargate sg1, season 4 of star trek tng, and I'm thinking of adding Quantum Leap and Battlestar Galactica into the mix.
Most of my shows are definitely 90s-2010ish
But everyone knows a wamen cannot into strength!
Black people didn't exist until the 1700s!
STOP EMJOYING THINGS I DON'T LIKE
Or something like that. Almost every argument for fantasy-type settings where "that character wouldn't be black/is described as X" but honestly if it doesn't affect the story, who gives a shit.
Yeah, sure. Plenty of characters are described in books as "alabaster/cream/other word for pasty ass white" but not once does it come up in the story. Nobody is racist against other colors. Slavery is for everyone including royalty. So why bother making a fuss about skin color or hair color when there are MOTHERFUCKING DRAGONS FLYING AROUND. If you're looking for realism, that wyvern fucked off a long time ago.
Bible belt city in the US, but in a purple area.
They're oh so magnanimously okay with the gays when they'r not being "in your face about it" (aka literally just showing as much affection for a partner as any straight couple, or mentioning it in passing, or doing anything that could call attention to them being gay/trans/etc)
But having a musical that revolves around a trans woman, a gay couple, and involves AIDS? That was simply too much for their (self)righteous sensibilities, and must be protested!
I mean, they could have just not participated, kept their mouths shut, and ignored everything about it, but at least now we know who the secret garbage people are.
I prefer heavy-handed metaphors and vague references, myself.
Like "when streaming became cable 2.0 I decided to dust off my old hat and hit the high seas"
Going out of your way to make sure everyone knows exactly whats going on in your queue at that particular moment is just excessive.
Only the Chavatar, master of all four elements, could stop them.
