  1. Great casting for Pellaeon, he looks exactly like I expected him to.
  2. Are droids people? Is it morally right to own them? You know Star Wars is never going to fully engage with that question and each individual Star Wars product is going to position itself in a new place on the sliding scale of droid sentience, but this one was weird. The actions of the super-battle-droid running from the Mandos because it doesn't want to die, and the existence of a droid bar slides it right up towards the "droids are real people with true sentience" end of the scale, but all the humans (and even the droids in the bar) seemed to just accept that droids aren't people and don't have the same rights as organics. Slightly immersion breaking for me. The ending was obvious from the choices of what they showed in the "previously on" segment, but it was still a fun and enjoyable journey to the obvious destination.
  3. I don't think so - I think many of the people who survive Stormlight 5 are expected to still be around in Stormlight 6. But there's also going to be a time gap in terms of release - the gap between those two books is going to be larger than for previous releases in the series and he's going to take some time to write books elsewhere in the cosmere, which are rumoured to be sequels for Elantris and possibly Warbreaker.
  4. Wait until Sweden joins. Erdogan's still holding that one up.
  5. And remember that the Qunari use the term "Qunari" to mean "anyone who follows the Qun", not just members of the race everyone else calls Qunari. So it's entirely consistent with the setting for Sten to just be a big human who follows the Qun.
  6. Adding to this, I feel like a trilogy where the main protagonists literally never meet the main antagonist wouldn't work well on film.
  7. Is there a list somewhere of what all the artifacts inside Daystrom were?
  8. After Season 2 of the show finishes, given the timing of Part 1's release.
  9. Given that this is the Star Wars universe where everyone knows each other, I'm assuming that Mando's new R5 unit is the same one that broke after Luke tried to buy it from the Jawas in New Hope.
  10. Kang seems to understand how time works in the Quantum Realm (and the multiverse as a whole) a lot better than anyone else, and he has more advanced technology, so it's not unreasonable that he could just choose not to age.
  11. So did I. It's definitely following the MCU movie template but it does it better than most of the other post-Endgame films.
  12. I'd expect it will, given how that feeds into their relationship at the start of Part II

  14. Can't really see Cavill as Eisenhorn - he'd fit more as a Commissar Gaunt or Cain.
  15. Mild spoiler for interaction between The Lost Metal and The Emperor's Soul
  16. It's pretty standard Sanderson, mainly, so if you like his other stuff (especially the previous Wax & Wayne books) you'll like this. It does get more into cosmere stuff but I don't think you'll lose anything if you haven't read any non-Mistborn novels. (The particular short stories/novellas/whatever relevant to The Lost Metal are Mistborn: Secret History and The Emperor's Soul).
  17. I came to ask if anyone had made this pun yet, but since the old thread's past 20 pages I'll do it myself.
  18. I haven't paid full attention to the argument above, but it looks like the kind of argument that needs the XKCD graph breaking out. https://xkcd.com/1732/
  19. They'll have to change something - part of that five minutes is because they've both got connections to Rand, and show-Elayne hasn't met him yet.
  20. It’s not really possible to compare greats in one sort with those in another simply because of how different each sport is, but for me Bradman stands out because his stats not only eclipse all his contemporaries but in 74 years since his retirement no one else has come anywhere near (the next best after his 99.94 is 61.87, and there’s only four more above 60)
  21. You should show your consultant friend this graph https://xkcd.com/1732/
  22. Midnight Friday UK time (which would be 8pm Thursday on the US east coast)
