Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression...

I'm dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford's likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

Cautiously optimistic.

Got echos of that old Northern Ireland 'joke' where the gunman asks "yes, but are you a protestant atheist or a catholic atheist".

Chilling.

but sometimes you get a “false elector” who legally overrides democracy and votes for a different candidate.

Genuine questions - how often does that happen? It can't be a lot, and it can't make the deciding vote, right, otherwise the whole system would have been ripped apart by the media long ago...

I 100% get why they changed them for Strange New Worlds, but damn if I don't love that Enterprise-coloured Discovery-style uniform.

we get another OP asking the same question that’s been asked countless times.

I mean, I did answer the question in the post. I'm just sad because people complain that we don't get enough new stuff, but when that new stuff comes out, they don't go and see it. I can't blame Hollywood for playing it safe, when it doesn't pay off when they don't.

Hush you, I'm not old, you're old.

And I say... is it too much to ask for both?

Look, I don't want to give the impression that I'm a film snob with my head up my ass or anything. I enjoy a good comic book movie, a mindless action film, all sorts of stuff. Hell, depending on what day you ask, I'd say Rogue One is the best Star Wars film (on the other days, it's Empire). Unpopular opinion - I think 2001 is overrated. It might be art, but I don't find it entertaining. And I agree with M500 - I loved San Andreas. It knew what it was, I could switch my brain off for a couple of hours and quietly snark at it with a friend. Good times.

I just don't want that to be all there is. And the more films like this fail to make hundreds of billions of dollars, the less the lawyers in charge of the studios are going to risk on them in the future. That's the tragedy for me.
