  1. Old thread: Last few posts:
  2. New thread:
  3. Reminds me, that there was a hilarious sequence in one of the films I watched over the weekend, ****neys vs Zombies. This is the first part of it- Warning: swearing, zombies:
  4. Seems like at least some people are excited for the reboot...
  5. Hi, I'm pretty sure that you have the wrong Obsidian. This is the game developer website. What you are referring to seems like it may be the knowledge base software developer. You are more likely to find answers for your questions in their forum: https://forum.obsidian.md/
  6. Maybe the Tabiche Pepper or Carolina Cayenne? I think high-end heats for both would be higher than a low-end Habenero.
  7. "A Plague Cheese" "TUROPHILE: Shadows of Cheesenobyl" "Cheeseomunda" "Cheese & Blade II: Brielord" "CHEESELEX" "Zeno Cheese" "Two Cheeses I & II" plus Indie game about trying to get Casu Martzu smuggled out of Sardinia, "Papers Cheese"
  8. Alfred Hitch**** remade his own film, The Man Who Knew Too Much.
  9. Given that JMS is behind it again, I'm okay with him doing it.
  10. There are some productions I've seen where you can tell that the sets they're using wasn't designed for color from the 60s when the change to color was rolling out (there's a couple of noticeable ones in the ITV series MAN IN A SUITCASE).
  11. Yeah, it was a fantastic moment the first time I saw it. Still cool even after that.
  12. Went to the dentist for routine cleaning and check-up (no cavities) then took my car in for service (no cavities there, either).
  13. I wonder if he'll throw ideas from Crusade in that blender...?
  14. I haven't seen anything yet that has convinced me TOS isn't the top for me personally. TNG The Chase. The last two thirds are fun, but the first third is overly serious and somewhat silly (the professor expects the person who walked out on him at the beginning of his career to throw everything away at the peak? Why the one ship exploded is never explained as everyone is surprised by it but it goes nowhere as a plot point and ultimately the whole thing about the peace conference is unnecessary as it also gets handwaved away as a complication - as scientific explorers there's no reason the Enterprise couldn't have just straight up been assigned to the mission and give more time for the fun stuff. At least we get a Norman Lloyd appearance...) Remainder of the story is a fun run-around with attempted double-crosses. Linda Thorson's Cardassian Gul is fun - pity she never reoccured - and John Cothran's Klingon Captain gets a lot of amusing lines. Troi's in uniform again.
  15. Melvin Van Peebles
  16. I imagine it was worse for syndicated programs at the time since they might be pre-empted by other local station programming. It still could have made a light arc, without heavy episode-to-episode continuity. Comics at the time did that.
  17. TNG "Lessons" Pretentious title much? Picard finds love then must send them on a dangerous mission where his ability to be impartial breaks. The episode works primarily because of the actors, and ends up being a decent dramatic episode for the most part. That said, it seems weird how in the episode where Picard finds romance with Lt Daren, her area of responsibility also ends up crucial to the story - including a spot for Daren at the big meeting table when Stellar Cartography had never been there before. It points to one of the primarily structural weaknesses of the episode, namely that it should have had more episodes to develop the Daren and her department in a natural way so that the final conflict with the solar wind (or whatever) felt natural. While yes, most episodes were done-in-ones in the era, this type story I think would be better percolating for a bit; Lt. Daren and Stellar Cartography should have had multiple appearances leading to this culmination of the arc for her character and relationship with Picard. Also, Troi was in her uniform in this episode for those counting at home.
  18. My grandfather used to fill up at Col. Sanders' gas station in Corbin, but according to my dad they never ended up eating in the restaurant when they were traveling through that area. My dad was only a few months old when fire destroyed the original place, so he only ever really saw the rebuilt one.
