  1. https://www.cbr.com/is-supernatural-coming-back-for-season-16/ Cast and crew would love to return, but availability at the moment and also the current lack of a quality story is keeping it from happening. Should Supernatural make a comeback with Sam and Dean Winchester....or should it be a sequel series like the current Frasier and Night Court and the impending new Buffy series? New Winchesters to keep up the fight in memory of Sam and Dean?
  2. So did I just watch a Tomb Raider trailer or a Jurassic trailer? 🙂
  3. It's been awhile but I think the Fremen did learn the weirdling way in the Sci-Fi series and Alia was in it also. Why the new movie changed her I don't know unless they simply didn't want to mess with child labor laws with a kid on the set but that is just speculation on my part.
  4. Quite correct, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(1984_film)#Lynch's_screenplay_and_direction It seems a few years ago he expressed minor interest in going back and maybe doing a Lynch Director Cut of it but didn't. He really had some bad memories of what happened to that movie and I can't say as I blame him. I've seen some of the versions of it, and yeah....they were not good. He had some good elements and adaptations of the characters and stories, but bad editing killed the movie. The Sci-Fi channel (before the change to SyFy) had their 3 part Dune mini series. It is in my library and I happily rewatch it. Overall a good adaptation, though some of the background scenery and distance shots looked rather fake but TV studio budget and early CG tech. Good casting and I felt it was faithful to the story overall, but Sci-Fi channel understood the wisdom in making it into 3 parts about 2 hrs long each. DUNE cannot be crammed and condensed into one movie that is 2 hours long, it doesn't work that way just like LoTR and Hobbit. As to the new movies, I've seen the first but not the second. I am not entirely sure I want to see the second but suspect I will. Suggest going back to the Sci-Fi 3 parter for another view of it.
  5. The idea of Bond being a legend, and that the name and 007 number are passed to the next person after the previous retires or is killed is something I have had for years as well. Bond/007 is the name and number that endures in the world of espionage as the legend that will be sent out to do the jobs that other agents cannot do. Bond is the one that gets the job done no matter what. To earn the name and number takes a lot to qualify for, and they could have a movie where the next chosen one to inherit the name and number must obtain it by killing the current Bond who has gone off the rails and is out of control, or at least that is what they are told. The irony is at the end as the current one dies he tells the new one "You are now Bond....until they send the next one to kill you just as I did to my predecessor" Something for the new Bond to think about and be wary of. As to Bond, I liked it in the start of Diamonds are Forever when Connery returns and is on a world wide man hunt for Blofeld to finally end him and also to avenge his wife from the previous movie. Also License to Kill when Dalton-Bond was on a quest to avenge Felix and his wife. Both instances of Bond going "renegade" in the official eyes of MI-6 but they actually just sat back and let him do what needed to be done. That is the Bond I would want to see on the screen again. As to him being a drinker and womanizer......well the character is a product of the time he was created. Of course spies like him have to be able to blend in and be ready to handle all situations and targets. People have complained in the past when Bond attacks female enemies such as at the start of Diamonds when he starts choking Marie to get Blofeld's location or in The World is Not Enough when Brosnan Bond shoots the female villain. Bond is licensed to kill........there are no exceptions to such a license, and to obtain that license requires a certain level of ruthlessness.
  6. All alts completed. Some of my alts have that vanity pet most of the others just soloed through the mission with ease to obtain all the badges. 5 new badges from the mission plus the 6 that were already in the game. This includes Tooth breaker badge as it is listed among the spring badges on the badge list.
  7. Having updated all 25 of my alts with the 5 new badges I can honestly say that while the mission is fun, Kadbra, Sigil and that Ouro crystal are in dire need of being moved to a more open area in Pocket D. The current location is rather small and with everyone and their pets crowding around, it can be problematic to click the contacts or the crystal or if someone is doing the widow maker badge mission, Mercedes Sheldon is in that same spot also thus making selecting her problematic at times.
  8. How about that.....all 25 completed again.
  9. The Most Prominent Dominant Badge Hunter rises again! All 25 alts completed.
  10. I select the nemesis option and red text will flash on screen that all are hostile towards me and will attack if they see me nearby, hence the stealth as i click him and then run away fast. What's the big deal? Different experience for different players.
  11. Linger at posi too long and you are likely to be attacked so some stealth is a good thing
  12. Strategy tip: when you do the Nemesis part, the boss mobs are not relevant. Fly with stealth to Posi and select the Nemesis option then fly back to the team who should all be standing on the stairs where they arrived. Commence buffing, and wait for LR and his patrons, they will charge up to you. Take them down. After that, with some creative/stealthy sniping, go ahead and hit numina. This will aggro link Num, Cit, Mant, Sis and Syn. Bab, States and Lib should remain behind. After that first AV group is down, target Statesman, he and the others will come to you at the stairs. Do this right and the other hero/villains won't engage your team.
  13. Well I think this event would benefit if Kadabra/Sigil were in a more open area of PD and if there were more Ouro Crystals for the event. It's a bit crowded where they are.
  14. Current strategy I'm using: solo blue, solo red, form team and trigger nemesis version. Pull boss mobs without aggroing heroes, when LR and crew arrive take down Scorp then LR then the rest then start the blue heroes beginning with Numina. Working great so far. 🙂
  15. New badge total in game: 1634 Best Man/Maid of Honor: Complete the event as hero or vigilante Wedding Crasher: complete the event as rogue/villain getting both of those enables you to activate the Nemesis option of the event. You want a full team be buffed up and get ready to hospital as it is a battle royal against everyone Officiator: defeat all 14 signature heroes/villains in the event, this is best achieved in the Nemesis part of the event Chaos Spiel: activate the nemesis event Down in Front: stand between Sis and Manti and tell Posi to start the event then wait a few moments......
  16. First 3 eps are up on Amazon. So, the CoH equivalent of a Viltrumite.......I'm thinking Super Strength, Willpower Brute Viltrumites are rugged and tough but can be hurt, but they heal up from injuries that would take down a normal person. They can also be single minded and vicious in battle, so that would mean perma charged rage and an easily maxed out fury bar.
  17. An excellent video and a good send off for the characters. That being said, I still want the Return of Kirk and if that TV series or movie must end with his demise that it be a more heroic and pyrotechnic demise then being crushed on a falling scaffold. I saw the alternate footage where he gets shot in the back and that was worse. Would have been better if Picard decloaks the missile, Kirk resets the docking clamps and is grappling with Soran. Kirk knows it is about to explode and warns Picard to get back, that it is okay etc. and to remember the advice he gave him in the Nexus. Missile explodes, Kirk and Soran are destroyed and Picard finds Kirk's captain insignia
  18. Make that 4. Got one in under the wire right before the WST change 160 runs of Yin TF........and they say I'm crazy, can't imagine why 🙂
  19. When 3 alts each needing 40 wst runs for partner badge go solo through the Yin TF to complete the Partner badge.
  20. The hold is called Time Freeze in Keyes
  21. Time freeze exists in the Keyes trial.
  22. League I was in just had the bug and it cost us some badges. Suggestion: Once Tyrant is beaten and is going to shrink to normal size, the league gets hit with a time freeze so that we can't attack and risk defeating him before he shrinks down. Once he shrinks the time freeze is gone and the league can smash tiny Tyrant. Alternate suggestion: remove the shrink down. We beat him in giant mode and he either collapses or explodes and is defeated and trial ends.
  23. If I could I would take a look at all 4 shadow shard TFs plus Synapse, Citadel and Numina TF for possible revision and modernization. Original versions would of course go to Ouroborus like Sister Psyche and Original Posi TFs.
  24. 12 solo Faathim's completed. 🙂
