So the "red flag" has nothing to do with the quality of the movie and whether it'll be good or entertaining, but the number of YouTube views of the trailer. Sigh.

As measures of screwing with go, releasing on streaming rather than theaters seems pretty mild

That not everything about the Gorn has been explained is clear, and more info is needed to reconcile their various behaviors.

Clearly everything they do is not biological, as we have a whole episode about that (out of 5 total appearances in SNW). Ignoring 20% of our evidence because it doesn't fit your argument is absolutely supposition, and a poor one at that.

This is your supposition. We don't know the Gorn don't impose or spread that ideology, or that they don't believe in it as adults. "Terrarium" contradicts your arguments about the Gorn depictions, & rather than try to reconcile them you disregard it.

The episode where a Gorn saves Ortegas and they forge an awkward friendship sends its regards. Sure, it ends badly due to prejudice, but it's pretty clear that Gorn aren't all irredeemably evil. Also, the Gorn's survival of the fittest through constant competition is an ideology, tho not a great one

You can find fault with all the new Trek shows if you like, but "doing their duty as best they could see how, through a deep sense of devotion to cause and morality" is still extremely relevant in all of them.

Really didn't need you to join the echo chamber pile-on. Complaining about new Star Trek with almost nothing to go on? How cutting edge! Folks have only been doing that since 1987.

I take your point here Starfish, but if you're saying the Oblivion remaster is the best game of 2025 you really need to try more games. Going by Metacritic score it doesn't even crack the top *hundred*

Games do this all the time though. Near the beginning, Baldur's Gate 3 makes you think you maybe have a few days before squidification.

Not what I'm intending, no. It shouldn't be an adversarial process, players vs DM. If one player is causing problems "for the lulz," as was discussed elsewhere in this thread, address it out of game, ultimately by booting them if necessary.

The dice's story isn't a very interesting one though, IMO. Where would ongoing fiction be without waking up a prisoner in the villain's lair, or tied to their deathtrap? Rescue by someone who demands a service, forced to work for the kingdom, or a shady patron? All of these are more fun than a TPK.

In your example of murdering for the lulz, the DM should've intervened before it got to that point and spoken to/booted that player. In Starfish's example of death by werewolves miscommunication, the DM also should've intervened when they realized instant party death wasn't what they were going for
