  1. The AT-RT was the closest we were to ever get a UCS of the vehicle.
  2. But we don't know their allegiance. If we vote someone out today its 50/50 they're scum or townie, and there's no way to know other wise this early. We can track the patterns of those who are active, and then vote for them when we have evidence at a more critical moment. Someone whose non-active will be voted out eventually. Its inevitable. However if they stay in the game they could take crucial votes away at a critical junction when we have someone more likely to be scum nailed down. ~ My point is they are just as dangerous to the town, innocent or scum, because they don't provide us clues to their allegiance, and if they are innocent scum can use them later onto divert votes away if a scum is on the voting block. Dracula is a threat until they participate more frequently.
  3. I've been rewatching some clips and its truly the most fitting finale Rebels could have. Some really high, incredible moments in a majority of meh moments to WTF? The scene that epitomizes this most to me are the royal guards suspending Ezra with their force sticks for elite stormtroopers, Thrawn's very best, to rush in and not hit a static target, then Ezra eliminates the Emperor's most elite bodyguards in seconds. True awesomeness that descends into pure stupidity. ~ I would be fine with the space whales if the Empire killed some of them and they were damaged by scraping their heads and bodies alongside the hull. If there was some tension the whales may actually fail. If the whales were hurt but kept pressing forward. But there wasn't. The whales, organic beings, that have been killed fairly easily for millennia, millennia, with no damage to themselves, swept the most powerful ships in the galaxy. Show me scars. Show me wounds. Show me some sacrifice. Show me that these are organic creatures, that while tough are still mortal. That's enticing drama. If they suffered but kept going shows me the deep connection in the force between them and Ezra. The deep love they feel for Ezra. Details like this go a long way, its what I learned in film school. We didn't get any of that. The line Hondo gave "For that boy, I would do anything" is what this finale was. But it didn't mean anything because none of our characters suffered at all. Its not a matter of death, but no one got scars or serious injuries. That's my fundamental problem with Rebels. Adventure Time, Regular Show, and many other contemporary kid shows of Rebels, handles struggle both physical and mental so much better in a way that kids need to see as they develop and that adults can appreciate.
  4. Non active party goers lurk in the shadows and will have to be voted out eventually anyways. I'd rather vote someone who isn't active now then someone who is active, because active people run their mouths. Active party goers provide evidence to their own destruction. Active party goers townie or mafioso provide clues to the overall mystery while non-active party goers do not. ~ Day One votes are usually unfounded in claims against each other because there are not patterns of behavior or demeanor yet to go off of. To vote on day one because you find someone suspicious is a shot in the dark. So unless Dracula suddenly becomes very active, they're the only one right now that should be voted out, because once again regardless of allegiance, if they aren't active they aren't helping us find out who is innocent and who is not. Vote Dracula people or don't vote at all!
  5. If I have to vote for anyone this early with no record or evidence to go by it'll be the one guest in the corner not contributing to the party. *hic* Vote: Dracula (Rider Raider)
  6. Wow, that is actually a really exceptional build for the head, great job!
  7. What a coincidence i'm dead on the outside!
  8. The super battle droid being canceled is super disappointing. That one I was looking forward to!
  9. Do you know where the mafia is? Because i'd very much like to know where that is? Between the dancing skeletons and pink elephants *Hic* I think, I don't know talk to the big ghoul by the column.
  10. My hope is Zahn ignores the less then stellar aspects of these episodes and accentuates the better parts to frame his next book, sort've like how Heir to the Empire focused on the better parts of Return of the Jedi. Maybe a passage like: Thrawn stared out into the vacuum of space, its stars outshone in momentary flashes, as the Chimaera's guns pour forward into a small purple point ahead of the pointed vessel's bow. The pained bleatings from the final Purgil was played over subspace radio so that all the bridge could hear its final calls. The crook of a smile touches the corners of Thrawn's azure lips as the ancient creature falls apart. They never foresaw the Chimaera emerging from hyperspace so nearby nor the power of its turbo lasers that cut through them like lard. They underestimated Thrawn's resilience to survive as he did their unexpected arrival all those years ago, never again. "Captain Pellaeon, you may cease fire." Thrawn coldly exclaimed to the bridge. Bridger may have escaped but his greatest allies, the ones so cleverly hidden in the corners of all his terrorist actions will never aid him again. Not my best prose, just something quick to alleviate my own head canon of what transpired.
  11. Zombie groom and i'm here to say, The Mafia should go away, let us enjoy our shindig creature shuffle, we don't want no kerfuffle!
  12. I don't want to be a debbie downer, especially at the height of everyone's enjoyment of the episode. I can't stand that... Phenomenal last three minutes though with the montage. I like the older versions of some characters although their lack of a costume change in five years is concerning to me.
  13. Great mod! This is a set I desperately want, know I don't have space for, so i've been reluctant to buy. You might be pushing me over the edge of doubt
  14. Every week you've presented exemplary builds! The chopped tree is breathtaking, as is the foliage. You make your dioramas feel like they're truly set deep in the forest. I think its the dim light that also helps create the sense of canopy. Your use of complimentary colors to break the monotony of the ground is excellent especially that LBG boulder.
  15. Well Coco won

  17. BRAAAAAAAIIINNNNNNSSSSS- Is what we'll need to win this game! Zombie Groom ready to boogie through this Saturday fright fever!
  18. Awesome Imperial turret installation! The translucent rods for the power conduit is nicely done, very unique! I don't know much about the program, but I do think the rebels could use more foliage to hide behind!
  19. Oh yeah! I had my doubts from the trailers but I really enjoyed the season. The uniforms, something about them is so retro and yet still futuristic
  20. This is so cool! I'm getting Art Nouveau themes from some of the buildings, especially on the first post!
  21. Your use of colors is awesome and the landscape is pretty. I think my only critique, is that the trail of turned up dirt behind the escape pod is a bit too repetitive. I think it needs a few spots where maybe the mounds of dirt collapsed after the pod passed, something to make it look less like a pattern.
  22. Ectoplasmic! Good job!
  23. Wow, excellent work! Somewhat nihilistic if such a concept can be in Lego builds.
  24. I know post bumping is discouraged, but I do so only so we don't lose anyone already signed up.
