They are using YT shorts. The next video auto populates with something the algorithm thinks you'll watch for 15 seconds and it's usually correct. Its like a slot machine. Quick and easy entertainment that people can lose hours in

I have absolutely no idea how this franchise went from an undercover investigation of a chop shop to driving cars into space

It's narcissistic and douchey. But it's unfortunately not delusion. It's hard to deny she had an impact. She wreaked havoc in the Senate. And now she has a golden ticket to go on to sit on boards, be ceo of something, or just be a public speaker and get paid shit tonnes of money. The system is set up for Senators

That explains the bullshit

Poverty has never been a major cause of low births. The poorest countries in the world have the highest birth rates. Instead it's about increasing women's health and education, giving them the choice to have fewer children or none. Turns out when they have the choice women don't want to get pregnant and raise kids at 20. They want to have careers and lives and travel and stuff.

Nations need to make child rearing more appealing for couples to want to be parents. Because a huge chunk of people could have salary raises and homes and be upper class and still now want to have kids.

This assumes Q was there to actually judge humanity and not begin a dialogue with Picard and the Federation. In his own omnipotent way. It's not a judgement, it's more of a test or like a training.

And they still get ~45% of the vote.

The States need a lot of fixes.

I was secretly hoping they'd do a Trek style timeline reboot so the Sequels will never happen.

Either way, Star Wars IP needs a fresh slate rather than dreging up old characters and shoving them onto a western style setting. There is literally a whole universe to explore.

I wanted to like this show way more than I did. But it just didn't scratch the itch. The main characters seemed a bit lost, like we needed more streamlining to their story to have a satisfying arc. I like the main actresses in other stuff but I don't think they were right to play these people.

Honestly it seems like the biggest problem is that any story they make up for this time period is kneecapped by having it all end with the Sequels.a story about rebuilding the republic in the shadow of the Empire would be epic and a perfect use of these characters. But knowing it all goes boom and cloned snokes and emperors are soaking in a vat like sea monkies makes it all a bit meh.

Overall meh, I'll tune in next year and see what happens. I just think it could be better.

I don't think she had full control of her faculties near the end. Her handlers and power of attorney should have forced her to retire but they didn't.

 
 

Half way through the series now, what do you think

 

Another week, another discussion thread for the new episode. What did y'all think? Lots of opinions last week, not all of them good

 

I'm working on a campaign that has the player meet a creature pretending to be a sphynx and ask riddles of the players.

The trick is that that creature is both not that smart and thinks he's very clever. They way past him is to praise him for being so smart that he agrees to let the adventurers go

What are some good 'bad' riddles to ask ?
