I love this show so much. Anson Mount is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. There's a lot of fanservice for fanservice's sake, but it's less jarring than the Kelvin timeline films for me. The timeline is screwy as heck, but at least they've set up reasons why. Encountering Trelane...

I was referring to whoever Jeff Bridges is playing in this movie. Obviously a program, and Flynn died in the last movie, so... EDIT: of course, who knows if this movie will even pretend Tron: Legacy exists, lol.

Did someone say dragon cannon?

I guess you could argue 2-4 based on stuff like this:

Ever since I heard about it, I have to admit I'm intrigued by the concept of an ability draft, and I may try it the next time I have the opportunity.

I realized I posted in this thread, but didn't address what it was about! Mea culpa! So I like having more options for non-magicians. I like having something to do that isn't "I attack". I like there being reasons to choose weapon A or weapon B. So I'm for weapon masteries...but I will...
