Strange New Worlds is also a potential entry point.

IIRC, a horse can output more than one horsepower in bursts, but can sustain one horsepower all day.

You should try chicken, tomato, jalapeno, and pineapple on a pizza.

That the Jedi Council is incredibly hubristic and far less aligned with the light side than they think is a major theme of the prequel era.

Jon doesn’t go back to the Watch in the finale. He gets exiled to the Watch again, but immediately goes AWOL to join the free folk.

You can buy worms for fishing at stores. Someone has to breed them to maintain consistent supply.

Fun fact: The bible says that only God knows when the world will end, so everyone that says they know when it ends is technically comitting sacrilege.

A lot of that article is a stretch. Some of these things are very basic storytelling elements or ancient character archetypes, and things like Empire vs Imperium are only similar in that they’re empires in space; everything about how the empires actually work and their relationship with the main character is completely different. And space empires are older than Dune, but nobody accuses Dune’s Emperor Shaddam of ripping off the Flash Gordon character of Emperor Ming.

Everything is derivative. Even the Epic of Gilgamesh probably borrows from some older oral tradition that was lost to time. While Dune influenced Star Wars, Flash Gordon and pulp fantasy were stronger influences. Dune, meanwhile, is essentially Lawrence of Arabia crossed with Hamlet.

This is exactly my experience with their dice sets. I got the transister dice, but I think the cat dice use the same box.

It’s not the flames per se, it’s the red that does it.

I use some as coasters.

Shortenning the timeframe of the first book from a few years to a few months definitely had some weird effects, like Paul and Chani’s relationship not being as solid yet. When I watched Part 2 the first time I kept wondering where they were going to put the timeskip before I realized they just weren’t going to have one.

James McAvoy as Leto II when he was an unknown actor and an incredible soundtrack are both good reasons to watch the miniseries, particularly the second one.

2038, not 2028. We have twelve years to fully migrate to 64-bit time.

Pepsi’s Throwback stuff definitely has a different texture to it compared to regular, at the least. Less syrupy, more crisp. Henry Weinhard’s sodas also use cane sugar and are similarly crisp, but they market themselves as a high quality brand anyway.

Looks like the one A uses in Future Redeemed.

It’s clearly ripping off Pocahontas, not Dances With Wolves.

That’s actually shopped. The game’s writer said he wishes he wrote that line, though.
