It’s here.
Full report later.
Supergirl Finale
S2 E22: “Nevertheless, She Persisted.”
This entire season was head and shoulders better than the 1st season. There was the introduction of so many great characters, including the Man of Steel himself, Kara’s cousin Kal-El a.k.a. Superman/Clark Kent. And Mon-El, who grew on me as the season went on. Maggie Sawyer. Lena Luthor.
This finale was great, with a real roller coaster of emotions for a DC fanboy like myself. Winn’s reaction to Superman recognizing him, the fight between the Kryptonians, Cat Grant doing Cat Grant things, all of it was fun to watch. It’s still a toss up on who is more my spirit animal in these CW DCU shows, Cisco or Winn.
They appear to be setting up something that I’ve been hoping to see, involving the future of the DC Universe. Meanwhile, they’re setting up something more recent from the comics as well.
I’m looking forward to next season already.
“Cestus III has been destroyed.”
“Matt! We’re stronger with you than without you!”
So I check online to see if there’s a Doomsday Machine for Star Trek Attack Wing.
Apparently there was an Organized Play event featuring the Doomsday Machine last year.
The prize was the planet killer token and cards/tokens for Commodore Decker and the Constellation, so you can recreate the episode or scenario.
And, thanks to eBay, the prize is on it’s way to me. Yay!
Attack Wing: Ship #1
While I was running errands today, I stopped by Gator Games and found one ship that I couldn’t find online:
Star Trek Attack Wing
After an enjoyable evening of playing 4 games of X-Wing Miniatures at Nelson’s house, I decide to bite the bullet and order a copy of Star Trek Attack Wing.
The starter set comes withe the three starship miniatures shown, from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I myself am a bigger fan of the Original Series, so of course I went and ordered a few TOS ships.
My one beef with this game is the size of the original Enterprise miniature, and the price they charge for it ($14.99 retail). After looking at the number of other items (cards, tokens, etc.) that come with it, and after using reward points that game me a $10 coupon at an online store, I figured that it was worth getting for $1.97 (originally $11.97). Heh.
Edit: behold!
I browsed the available Klingon ships and came across this one, the ship that attacked V’Ger in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
And then there’s this ship, the Romulan vessel that attacked the outposts along the Neutral Zone, until it was stopped by the Enterprise in “Balance of Terror”.
The Klingon and Romulan ship miniatures are much bigger than the Enterprise miniature, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but whatever, I’m getting my TOS fix with those three.
iPod Failure?
I’ve been fiddling with my iPod for the past few hours. It doesn’t seem to want to respond to a proper sync with iTunes, so I deleted all the music and am currently reloading them.
One problem was that it said that it was 4GB over limit, even though I didn’t add anything. On the contrary, I deleted a few playlists, that were still listed on the device after a couple of ‘successful’ syncs, but the playlist I wanted to add was not found in the list.
I even went in and marked a few apps for uninstall, and it still said I was over capacity.
Looks like it’s syncing now. Arrgh. I hope it’s not dying.
Targets for Today
Hyperlanes
One of the projects I backed on Kickstarter was for a role-playing system called Hyperlanes.
It’s described as cinematic sci-fi for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.
I just downloaded the PDF for it, and so far I like what I see.
Aside from everything else in here, I’ve already seen quotes from Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Clone Wars.
I can’t wait to sit down and read this thing. The first thing I’m gonna do is create a race of tech-savvy koalas.
And then I’ll create a character or two.
