Though perhaps late to the game in complaining, i think his point is that it would be nice to have more options. Shards dont convert really all that well to threads, considering the majority of the threads you earn on any BAF or Lam run are from the merits and not direct thread drops and shards convert on a 1:1 basis.

His complaint, and i tend to agree, is that really with the alpha slot they allowed any level 50 content to allow you to be earning your upgrades for the alpha slot. However with the 4 new ones they limited you to only 2 missions. Will there be more? Yes probably, but when you consider how long it takes to just unlock the new slots (i would say an average of atleast 4-5 runs per slot) your farming before you ever get to the point of needing the slalvage.

If the Devs point was to have more content i would say thats great, but you also know just as I and the devs did, that people are not going to wait for that content, they will want their slots and hancers for them NOW!!!. So basicly it left the only options as farming 2 missions.

His suggestion was a valid suggestion. To simply allow any of the level 45-50 TFs to earn the benefits for the 4 new slots. That is what they did with alpha and it seemed to work ok. Honestly i agree. If threads were = to shards, they at the launch of the new slots they should have had converted all players shards to threads. Convert the recipies for the alpha slots to craft the salvage for those slots from threads and worked them all into the tables that way. Then had added the thread based reward system to any level 50 content in the game. Atleast that way you could run many more things and still be earning rewards.

As it was created it feels very much luck other MMOs that we heavily complained about. Maybe not in that only a few people earn rewards, but that the "End Game" becomes about running few instances for all the rewards that you need and everything else you could be doing is a waste of time if you still needed to unlock or earn those post game rewards.

The real problem with this as its set up now is that it will become harder and harder to find teams running those few instances that grant rewards the longer the system is out. I already choose to only really incarnate about 3-4 of my characters simply because of the repitition and they are the only ones i really cared about. As more people get everything they need the ability for newer players or vets with newer toons to farm instances to get those unlocks and drops will become harder and harder as people move away from doing the level of farming they are currently doing to catch up with 6-7 years worth of level 50s.

Which is why i agree with the OPer. Sure keep new content coming, but atleast set a goal for unlocking the slots sure, but have the reward drops drop doing ANY level 50 content, be it TFs, Trials, or even running standard missions. Keep the playing options open for people to play the way they want to and still earn the rewards which will help to ensure the longevity of not only the game but the end game reward systems as well.

If the 3ds is any indication of a TV or movie screen using a direct no glasses 3d model it would never work for a large crowd or audience. Its just to personalized to having to hold it or view it at just the right angle. Dont get me wrong the 3ds works, but it couldnt be the main tv in your home in a neutral spot for multiple viewers.

I think this is exactly correct. Avatar was great in 3d, tron legacy what was in 3d was great. But most if not any other movies i can think of were actually filmed in 3d to take advantage of its benefits. Most cases a movie is being filmed in standard formats and converted just so the studios and theaters can squeeze out a few extra bucks. That is not worthwhile.

In most cases it adds nothing to a movie not intended to be filmed in 3d. Even as big of a star wars fan that i am, i am debating on attending those conversions. If not for the fact my son has never been able to see the originals on the theater screen, i probably wouldnt consider it at all.

Yet most 3d movies are also being shown in 2d so i dont find that to be a substantial arguement.

Its more a money grab for the theaters and studios. They can charge more for a theater to show a 3d movie (hence why now more showing in 3d are availbile then 2d this summer) and theaters make more money off charging you for glasses.

Personally next 3d movie i see im going to keep my glasses and then try and use them again. In my area atleast, they dont charge more for the ticket, they seperate the cost between a ticket and glasses, so personally i feel if you keep you glasses i should be able to buy a ticket and normal costs and tell them i dont want to buy glasses this time. Infact i am willing to bet at some point the encouragement to recycle what is a re-usable product is going to catch up to theater owners and some endevoring group of lawyers will see dollar signs in going after them in a class action lawsuit.

I cant think of a situation that would make the doctor expect a living creature to be created only to be sacrificed for himself.

Just saying i would guess the central idea of these two episodes is going to center around the idea of the real humans seeing the flesh as real people, and the flesh being upset that they were so easily killed off doing work for the humans.

There are only 14 episodes and all are availible to stream on netflix including the movie.

Bleh i thought there would be a pay off to watching the whole 60 seconds to make my time not a total waste.

Im pretty sure they get "Sprint" as an inherent also.

Possible but the family's reaction seemed pretty genuine to be faking it, and i just dont see him putting his family through that to have them not know.

I honestly didnt care for the cliff hanger. Not that the episode wasnt good, it was, and i enjoyed it alot, but i think if they wanted to cliff hang it the better spot would have been right when the merc showed up at montgomery's house. And then having the Capt call the girl to say to meet him at the hanger.

As everyone said they are not gonna kill her off, so really no cliff hanger to having her bleeding at the end of the show IMO. Now if you had dropped that bomb about the captian, had him fight about setting her up like they did, and then skipped that part where he mails the files and hides a 2 shooter, but show him call her to say to meet him that would leave a cliff hanger IMO.

Not only that but it was a pretty big city. So the chance that the perp would come to his precient to be processed was lower. He worked alot at night when he wouldnt be on duty at the station anyway to be seen by the criminals when they got back there. I mean i guess if your just looking for a reason for it to be wrong then fine, but nitpicking this one aspect of the show when its something that comic books have just forgotten about forever?

Sure there are some full mask dudes like Spiderman around but if anyone really knew Hal Jordan would that little green splotch on his face really prevent them from knowning who he was?

I find it funny how many people say or said that however superman basicly pulled a curly down from his bangs and took off his glasses and stood talking to people a foot away that knew clark kent intimately and no one seemed to have issues with this at all.

And actually during the course of the show one of the detectives did realize it was him. Of course he was eventually killed off.

But the trick of the flinstones always was basicly taking modern convience and finding a stoneage equivilent. Little mamoths that were canister vacums, birds as garbage disposals etc. All that being old hat now they are going to be faced with finding ways to make stoneage internet and computers, smartphones, ipods etc. I just dont see that classic FStone formula working anymore. Kinda like the Jetsons. We have really gotten beyond those "Future" gimmics being funny anymore.

Amen.

Though i think that on a personal level the dude is funny, ihave seen him on shows like Real Time and such, i just really hate every one of his shows. They are really just knock offs of other ideas. And though i know there are really no new ideas left, he doesnt really improve on them much i guess is my only complaint. I find most of his shows try to go over the top so hard that they just lose any sense of being funny.

I thought about this myself. On one hand i think it would have been cool to see say Baker's console room. But from a budget standpoint it was probably alot easier and cheaper to rebuild Tennants since it was most recently used even if it was set afire. Then to rebuild one long since gone.

After further thought i also wondered how well that would go over. And I thought of Star Trek. Like remember when those episodes would come out where they would use the old style sets from the 60s? Im thinking that tribbles DS9 Episode or that Scotty episode on TNG. Those sets though consistant with the sets used in the 60s looks really bad now. I mean those sets looked really bad just comparing them to say the consoles in the 60s space capsules really. So as an after thought I really am glad they didnt and stuck to the idea of even in time travel they stuck to the commonality of todays values of production design.

Though i didnt find it depressing since the timelords have all be dead since i have been watching the new shows. However that was kinda a neat little bit when Amy tells the Doctor he wants forgiveness. To be fair i think that is the first time the new doctor has even touched on that thread since maybe the ending of The Beast below from last season.

Though it might not have ever been spelled out im pretty sure the idea was that Banner was working on a project that he believed in, but was being maybe secretly backed by the military for their own purposes.

Kinda like he was looking for a way, as someone mentioned, to give people increased resistance to radiation posioning, which had military implications that he didnt fully comprehend at the time.

Honestly in watching NOF this season it really just went to show me what more smallville could have been and missed out on being. The family was all trying to come to terms with powers, just like Clark should have been. They had the teenage angst thing working, the corperate evil overlords etc. And almost every effect shot in NOF was 10 times better looking the smallvilles, and when they had a fight, they fought.

If superman was suposed to cause inspiration in people to throw off the omegas and defeat darksied, then fine. However nothing in this episode would have done that. The final fight should have taken place on the street in front of people, news cameras etc. Been essentially a world wide expereince through 24 hour news channels and such. Had superman and DS basicly beating the crap out of each other to no avail, having neither of them really winning. Finally superman offers to sacrifice himself if darksied leaves earth alone. (much like he offered himself up to Ollie to do"The right thing") This willingness breaks the omegas lessening darksieds powers giving clark the advantage to then trown darkS back to apokolipse and allowing him to push the planet back away.

Atleast that would have made sense. Even if was an abreviated fight. The problem is the smallville writers suck. They cant write a series that elludes to sacrifice or bravery, they have to bat you over the head with the themes in long drowning speeches about it and then drop the ball when it comes time to portray it.

To bad they should have gone to see a preview of thor quicker, thor v the destroyer was much more a better example or writing and story telling that smallville was going for then they did with 10 years of lead in time.

ya well neither were the show writers.

Next election is 2012. Then plus 4 years 2016, then plus 4 2020. Lex was elected as president in 2018 according to the TV report.

Which if i know this show none of which will be in the finale but were just thrown into a passing by scene to cause nerd gasams and eventual disappointment.

Sorry this show needs to end. Its suffered from poor writing and acting for some time now. Seriously think about it, we have spent now 20 episodes of this year waiting for a Dark Side battle. We have had 20 hours of TV and gotten maybe 2 crappy cgi shots of DS, introduced 3 villians of his that have had little to no development since introduction and 1 cast member has a omega imprint on their head. That is pretty much all the development they have done to their final seasons story arc in 20 hours. And i thnk about 4 hours had been devoted to weather or not clark should wear glasses or not.

Now because of the need to give a final handy to the fanbois they are taking the last 2 hours cramming into it the return of lex and the final battle with darksied, ya im not holding my breath. Infact im more excited to finally be rid of it. I know i can stop watching but call it a personal defect that i cant give up on a show i have watched so much. I had the same feeling about the last couple years of the Xfiles also. To much time invested to quit it even though it was sucktacular.

But seriously with all the Darksied stuff, they havent even introduced the planet apokolypse at all, not development of his staff or subordinates, no development of his wanting to turn Superman into one of his to control and follow him. Nothing, i mean has the ****** CGI darksied even said a word yet at all? What should have been a epic final season is just going to be a 30 second Doomsday fight again.
