Hermit

As to the second episode itself, I'm rather liking the cast of characters they've got set up. And the focus on our young rookie of the crew was well done I thought. I won't go into more details until others have had a chance to see it.

I had the same problem. But we have a Hulu account so got to see it anyway.

Oh don't worry, the corporations and banks will still get their money out of them even if the whole place goes under Wait, that's not our priority?

Yes, I know, see I was being punny and... *Sigh* this planet just isn't fun some days

Hermiticism you say?

Yeah, I think it's safe to say this was better than Encounter at Farpoint, or at least had fewer bumps

Pretty much this. I had a good time, some fun, and I like the characters. This is plenty to build on *G* The crew is somewhat endearing. I too would ask for soda on the job.

So, did anyone see it yet? I recorded it on a DVR because the friend I'd watch it with was out of town

Magma looks better in a Bikini, though I'm sure Roberto would argue otherwise (Also, she's just damn powerful) The Vision vs Red Tornado!

The Orville Pilot is on tonight, folks. Just a reminder.

The comment I heard regarding Florida was this: "Dr. Nature is about to circumcise America's wang" Hang in there, Floridians, or better yet, get out if you can to say, Ohio.

Oh sure, get mother nature to steal my ...thunder.

Religion It can be fascinating to me. Ra vs Apollo!

It has been well over ten minutes since I last put up a post on the superdraft thread with my rough draft unedited slapdash attempts at fiction. Still no likes. The withdrawal has kicked in. Without the adulation of people who have never met me, I begin to shake. My mouth grows dry, and the symptoms are getting worse. if , if I don't make it..., send my wealth to the bad fan fic society. They'll...they'll carry on my work.

Australia, upping the difficulty level for S&Gs!

Take a mental health break man, some days we need those badly

Aquaman! Seriously if you need to ask why I voted that way you haven't been paying attention Battle of the Sun gods! Horus vs Frey!

Blueberry Not a fan of Cherry Pi vs Pie?

Key Lime Pie And now I'm craving it. Scrubs vs Grey's Anatomy

I enjoyed some of it as well. It needs some rough spots smoothed out as you say, but I have hopes for improvement.

Mexican Food because Chinese Food won last time ? Gamma Rays vs Cosmic Rays!

Nothing says lovin like marrying your mutton...sheep (That one was for you, Mightybec!) Forged In Fire vs Cutthroat Kitchen

I don't and I'm not. But at the same time, whether it clearly advocates or merely recognizes the historical context it was written in is another subject of debate. Multiple translations, priority of new vs old testament and Jesus over Paul (and everyone else), etc. are matters that have gone back and forth. Now, you have made up your views, and I'm sure after long and careful study. I have studied as well, and have different views. We can claim confirmation bias or what you ever you like. But when you use "Hitler was a Christian" as a fact and a pillar for your seeming stance ,, when the majority of his biographers say he was an opponent of it, then yes, I think I'm going to speak up. We don't need divisions between atheists who think Neo Nazis are scumballs (The majority of Atheists, i dare say) and people of Faith who think Neo Nazis are scumballs(And yes, again I think the Majority of people of faith believe that). I believe that's going to distract from a united effort from denouncing said scumballs And I think the bastards are hoping for just that.

Well said. For an Atheist Foreign influence whose loyalties to Aquaman have never been confirmed!! (Sorry, trying to lighten things up. I'm sure you love Aquaman in your heart- all good people do)

Are you kidding ? folks debate who is or isn't a Christian all the time. Who is one, and who is just pretending to be one for political gain or social acceptance. Why do you think the faith has so many divisions, schisms, and so on? Now that was the summary, Watch the ball bounce back and forth here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler#Hitler_on_Christianity_and_.22Positive_Christianity.22 These guys can claim to believe in the Teachings of Jesus They can claim to be real Americans and that other citizens aren't They can claim they're saving Americans and America with their hate. They can claim whatever they want I don't have to take any of it as an automatic truth. The bible itself speaks of false prophets, knowing people by their fruits, and Jesus looking at people who claim to have done all this for him and his response "I do not know you"
