I was born at an early age. Loves running, SciFi / Fantasy books, Superhero TV & movies, and pizza. Not always in that order. My tweets reflect my own opinion.
@marshallmaresca Consider: maybe this is the modern version of The Last Starfighter? Instead of a video game test to join the starfighters, maybe these emails are a secret test invitation - masquerading as spam - to join a superhero corps called The Geek Squad? Maybe only you can save the earth!
@marshallmaresca Isn't this magical nude gate just the same system as the Terminator used (with a fantasy tilt instead of science)? You can travel through portals, but without bringing anything, including clothes.
Does anyone else think this guy looks like a guy in full Shard Plate with a Shard Blade, from the #stormlightarchive books by @BrandSanderson? He just has some extra back appendages tacked on.
@DelilahSDawson You're like the Hulk, except ... always worrying. Now this is an accepted (albeit unfortunate) baseline, you can go be your best, big green worry monster/writer. ๐
How many other people left the last episode of #Picard running while the music played and credits rolled, just to watch the crew keep playing cards?
What a great episode, set nostalgia to stun! Love all of those characters, overjoyed at the reunion season and wrap-up.
Also: Q!
@marshallmaresca They do that sometimes if the landing is expected to be turbulent. The flight attendants have to get the cabin ready, including tray and seatbelt validation, so they can strap into their jump seats and not get back up.
Now, if there wasn't any expected turbulence... dunno. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@marshallmaresca I never understood this, why people feel compelled to reduce their works to that phrase. Anything "punk" is an instant turn-off for me. Maybe it's evocative for some, but it's also a turn-off for others. Feels like unnecessary narrowing of a potential audience either way.
@VoiceOfOBrien I thought Garmelie sounded familiar! It was freakin' PIPPIN! @BillyBoydActor knocked the ball out of the park on this one.
I thought it was @matthewmercer doing a clever accent (which, to be fair, he excels at - his Scottish accents are stellar).
Maybe @marshallmaresca and friends should consider renaming @worldbuildcast as "The Sloppy, Lazy, and Trite Writing Podcast". ๐
I mean, Stephen King is a literary giant, but this feels like unnecessary and unhelpful input. Fantasy books ... don't need world-building? Suuure. ๐
@marshallmaresca Oh jeez! May your pursuers arrive late, and your troubles end early. ๐ And at the very least - have a good flight, since you're on it unexpectedly!
