I know we all got our own issues with the finale of Murder Drones but while watching the big Anniversary video thats going on I realize I have a lot of ideas on how it should have ended-or at least how I might have done it. Under the cut is just some ideas, I am not a professional writer but I do write fanfiction from time to time and hey maybe I'll write some of these out. Also I am not claiming I am better than Liam or anyone at Glitch, just some thoughts.

-Thad, Lizzy and Khan should of had their own fight with J. In episode 7 the trio is set up like they're gonna get an epic side battle. Now worker drones of course were workers so I doubt Lizzy and Thad would be weak, sure weak against a murder drone but they have Uzi's gun that Khan rebuilt. I think they could have put up a easily decent fight against J, Lizzy and Thad as acting support while Khan (who is secretly a badass) takes her down a few notches just before the world goes to shit and they end up pulled down by gravity. It would be so cute to sorta see Lizzy also use her mean girl trait to verbally be mean to J just a little bit! Probably a fun quip about pigtails being out of style. Maybe also use a hand mirror to direct a off course shot from the railgun, no that wouldn't actually work shut up it's fun. -Khan should of been the one to give Uzi her gun. The whole series Khan is the absent father who doesn't pay attention but when he finally has to in episode 2 onward he's more attentive with like telling her about the collars and the camp. Then in episode 7 he just seems very much prepared for what's going on-he needed more scenes to show he's trying to be a better dad and maybe even get back to what he used to be before Nori died. A sweet moment between him and Uzi, her realizing he rebuilt her totally sick railgun as a way to see that he accepts her for who she is would have very much tied up their relationship issue in a big pretty bow. -Nori should have absolutely apart of the final fight. She is so under utilized despite having fought her Solver daughter before, she doesn't even need a big part just a moment. On that topic I would have also liked a quick shot of the Railgun from Thad or Lizzy, it has too much of a one time use and someone could have easily picked it up the second it was thrown out of the way. I love to see characters all come together and have their parts. -Cyn was defeated too easily and I would have liked a final show off between just her and Uzi maybe in the caverns bellow after Cyn possibly broke the ground and sent them both tumbling down. A real big 'I'm not fucking around anymore' from Cyn as Uzi overcomes her for a final time. I don't hate how she's now the host and containing the solver but I very much would have liked a explanation on how it all works. -J honestly either should of had more focus on that 'No escape even in death' bit or had a redemption. Not all characters need to survive or even become good, sometimes they can't get out of their ways. But that above line tells me all about why J refuses to cut herself off from Cyn. She's scared. Scared of being stuck in a tormenting loop. At least if she's working for her she wont be in constant emotional and physical pain for every iteration that Cyn decides to clone. She needed an emotional scene, a proper outburst, of why she's so scared. Honestly J just needed more scenes in general. Especially with Tessa and maybe even the scene where Cyn uses Tessa as a skin suit. Super dark but hooo boy I'd be terrified if I saw a friend suddenly get turned into a suit like how the hell do you even fight back against that??? Anyway that's just my thoughts. May or may not write a one shot, I'd re-write the whole show if I had the confidence but I'm more suited to short stories.

[gayspock]

ok the undiscovered country! i actually dont know much at all about this one but i hear people like it

knowing gene died like 2 days after seeing this.... the killer is at large, seriously...

in tthe credits and ive paused like 2 times btw. anyway its so strange thinking that walter koenig is like an older gent now. i think chekov, no matter how old he is, is like a little cunt to me

GOD GEORGE TAKEI HAS SUCH A GOOD FUCKING VOICE. its beyond crazy. also great to see sulu in the captains chair... as he freaking deserves

woahhh hey rand.... hope youre well grace lee whitney rest peacefully my love

points its that big fuck off red bridge in america

hi spock bestie (kicks legs) lets hear your little speech

also admiral (?) cartwright isnt that the same actor as siskos dad hi dude waves friendily

kirk: ☝️🤨 me? spock: i have personally vouched for you kirk: 🤨you 🤨 have 🤨 personally 🤨 vouched? ☝️🤨 for me?

will the girls be fighting ...

okay i know i did joke and jest: however, to summarise i didnt find star trek v nearly as egregious as people said it was. ultimately i found it had its funny moments and was a bit of a mess but i had my fun. itd be wrong to say its a ~good~ movie but frankly the way people went on about it you'd think it was some utter disgrace

all that being said: seeing kirk now, even in this opening scene, speak with conviction against the klingons is refreshing as hell after it. like- shatner super obviously did write tff . you can tell with how kirk is just kind of there doing insane shit and saying heroic crap throughout the movie. literally every obstacle is solved with him doing something ridiculous to save the day. its funny as hell BUT now its like ok now we have an actual character back with us god bless, god speed

speaking of i do like the choice to have him oppose this so vehemently for that reason + addressing the more difficult issue of the klingons since, well... as seen in the LAST movie they just sort of laugh them off. LOL

ALSO THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING. YEESH

oh so you remembered you have a son, kirk , now that its actually relevant

also can we be nice to valeris. can everyone be nice to valeris

OUGHHH SPOCK IN HIS VULCAN ROBES. also god i really am so fucking happy when they do vulcan philosophy & spock like this. its all i want, man

WARRIOR ADMIRATION.

valeris said #stop #racism.

and so they raise their points.... did they not raise their points?

again ugh not to be a spock girlie but something something the isolation the arbitrary measures by which we judge each other, the cultural differences in klingons vs humans how much different are the differences in humans vs vulcans how readily will they be to reject us at the end of the day something something theyre my o nly family and yet they bristle and they reject the things fundamental to Me and-

now what is occurring...

btw i have coffee cake yum yum

also did they take out their gravity something on the klingon ship. BECAUSE THATS ANOTHER THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT SCI FI, YOU KNOW... so miserable that they have the gits always tethered to the ground . i insist we need to turn the gravity off more . i dont care if the budget doesnt allow for it

THAT BLOOD EFFECT. SLAY

oh my god rheyre servingggg in this movie arent they

th... the BLOOD I-

SORRY

I WONT MAKE THAT JOKE AGAIN

ALSO LOL SORRY AGAIN I SHOULDNT WATCH THESE BACK TO BACK - ITS HARD NOT TO COMPARE - BUT GOD THE SETUP FOR THIS ONE IS JUST SO FREAKING GOOD IN COMPARISON. SO UTTERLY DELICIOUS

holy guacamole...

THE THING ABOUT STAR TREK IS THEY WILL JUST PUT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BREATHTAKING WOMAN ONSCREEN AND ACT LIKE IT ISNT EVEN A BIG DEAL

SPEAKING OF. i'll be so mad if valeris is the assassin. i MEAN I WOTN BE. but i will be. ugh. no respect for women ever in the world. but it feels too obvious and i dont just mean like... in terms of needing a good twist like i dont minddd that but frown sad face... im just sad a cool vulcan girlie might get the short end of the stick so i ddo hope if it is her its a good reveal / good reasoning to make up for it. you know what i mean? i'd be sad if she was JUST brought in for that singular purpose AND/OR if this is something to do with... reasonably affected persons due to the discrimination getting into some extremist shit like get a better twist and try different avenues of conversation for discussing the nuances of that even if you do want to talk abt the darker side of what oppression leads to within minority groups like theres 10 million different points of discussion and you so strangely choose the same one every time and when people contest that its "lacking nuance" even though this seesaw is so terribly unablaced but whatever its also nothing

terribly ironic of me to go on that ramble in the las tliveblog post about managing expectations LOL HELP ........ SILLY GOOSE . either way im super jumping the gun here

THE JUMPCUT OF "KIRK SHOULD BE PLOTTING HIS ESCAPE" AND THEN ITS STRAIGHT TO KIRK GETTING HIS HEAD KICKED IN THATS SO FUNNY FUCK OFF HELP

Oh! Oh! What do you think Leaf's and Green's childhood was like together?

NICE,,

➞

(this one actually will be a lil angsty)

the oaks have always lived in pallet town, the redwoods moved in when leafs mom was still pregnant, and her dad was still there. they ended up being great friends with the whole oak family!! at this time daisy was 5, and their mom was pregnant with green

leafs dad was a big adventurer type, his first love was his wife and his second was THE GREAT ADVENTURE he liked to explore other regions and such, and he was also fabulously rich (probably from his family). he died in an accident while off in another region before leaf was born, which is why her dad isnt around. her mom did inherit the money however, which is why the mom never had to work LOL

leafs dad is also the reason she went traveling later on. she thought that if she traveled she would somehow. find him. or connect with him in some way. like she would find him in the adventure out there. she never did. 

green is about 2-3 months older than leaf!!! so he was born first, and then leaf, both beautiful babies!!!!!! 

despite being born in the same town, they didnt start actually interacting until they were about 3 years old. 

they first met when green was outside with daisy and their parents, and he looked over and saw mrs. redwood in her garden showing leaf all the pretty flowers. so ofc hes like. WOW ANOTHER PERSON!! FRIEND!!! and goes over

so hes all excited. but polite. with a “Morning Mrs. Redwood!! Whos that???” and leaf is shy af at this age. shes just quiet and kind of scared tbh. her mom has to push her towards him like “Say hi!” 

leaf wore her hat all the time, and often hid her eyes because she’d been teased about it before. so greens smiling ear to ear because friend!!!! “Hi I’m Green whats your name???!!!”. hes a happy child. very exicted 

and she answers with a really quiet “L-Leaf-” and he IMMEDIATLY “COOL!!!!!! LETS GO PLAY!!!!!” AND GRABS HER HAND AND DRAGS HER OFF TO GO PLAY SOMEWHERE

he was a very cute kid fyi. everyone in the oak family is phenominally beautiful and no one knows why. everyone loves him

so while theyre playing he asks why shes hiding her eyes, she answers because they look weird, and he laughs it off and says he wants to see. at  first shes like no!!!! but he starts playfully fighting her over it and takes her hat off and he has this. wow moment. because. her eyes are like shining rubies and he just stares at her for. a reallly long time.

so shes blushing and gonna cry soon and says “I told you-” and meanwhile hes just. completely enamoured. and this moment pretty much stays with him for the rest of his life because he always thinks she has the most beautiful eyes. 

so after a while of just staring at her his mouth is just hanging open and he blurts out “Pretty.” and SHES SHOCKED.. this is one of the reaons why starts to develop a crush on him. 

ofc from this point on theyre like. best friends. they do everything together . its mostly green dragging her around doing dumb shit and eating daisys baking and watching tv. prof oak completly adores leaf and is thrilled that green is her best friend. he cant wait to see them as researchers or trainers. hes already brainstorming what pokemon he should give them first. hes planning their wedding 15 years in advance. 

they spend a lot of time in the lab watching prof oak do his research and playing with his pokemon. he tells them a bunch of stories about his old adventures.

when theyre about 5 they watch one of the pokemon league matches being shown on tv and this is the defining moment. where they both decide independantly that “one day, im gonna be champion too”

greens parents support him 100%. his father tells him that he will always believe in him and that hes gonna be the best champion ever when he grows up, unlike any champion before him, and to never give up on his dream. this is the reason why green is obsessed with being the best trainer in the world. 

when theyre 7, green and daisys parents die in an accident. this is the point where green gets more kinda bitter and nasty, and daisy becomes more mature and motherly. Its a few weeks after the funeral when leaf tries to go over and see green, daisy tells her he doesnt want to see anyone.

another few weeks after that, she finds him outside on the oceanside at the end of pallet town. even though leaf lost her father, she never knew him, so she’d never feel the level of hurt that green is feeling. at this age, she doesnt understand the gravity of the situation. 

she asks green if he wants to play or watch tv. hes angry, and shes insistant, and when he yells at her to leave him alone, they have a fight. this is the point when green says something mean and hurtful to her and the point where they stop being friends and start being something closer to rivals. 

after this leaf goes home and cries, and after a week or so daisy brings green over to apologize to her. hug it out kiddos. 

over the years they develop into rivals over grades, sports, and literally everything else. despite their rivalry, theyre still surpringly pretty close, and they become the most competative pair of kids anyone has ever scene. 

When theyre about 10 and throughout their middle school, green starts to develop into his snarky and arrogant self. the fact that hes the prettiest, smartest, most atheltic and teacher-beloved kid in school doesnt help his overinflated ego. he starts teasing and kind of bullying leaf more, though he still secretly watches out for her and backhandedly sticks up for her sometimes

meanwhile, leaf becomes more confident in herself and works her butt off to be right at the top with green in everything. even though green is being more of a jerk to her, she still sees that he cares when he does things like defending her against the other kids who make fun of her and grabbing her homework for her when shes sick. 

green seems to pick on leaf a lot more now, and mrs redwood claims its because he has a crush on her. at this point, leaf starts to have a crush on green, which stays for p much the rest of her life LOL,,,,

prof oak is developing the pokedex this whole time. hes concerned about green because of how obsessed he is with being the best and worries he wont treat his pokemon right because hes seen this kind of behavior and motivations when he was on his journey (this story is for another time its long). so he wants green to be a researcher like him, but green is hellbent on being the very best. this puts a lot of tension on their relationship. 

when they both get to trainers school(high school) DAMN THEYRE LIKE THE BEST STUDENTS IN THE DAMN PLACE. THEYRE BOTH FRICKEN BEAUTIFUL ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE WITH GOOD GRADES AND ATHLETICS AND EVERYONE LOVES THEM ITS FRIHFJGN…WEIRD…….all the girls like green and all the guys like leaf.,,.

leafs crush on green only gets worse, especially since he becomes this tall handsome snarky arrogant hot piece of ass that teases her. green never admits it but hes attracted to her too. he thinks shes the most super friggin cutest girl hes ever seen and he still loves her eyes. but he never says this so instead he picks on her lol. 

greens whole trainers school life is p much just. having most of his classes the same as leafs, teasing her probably as an excuse to hang out with her in the halls, getting jealous of any other guy who tries to spend time with her because damnit thats MY RIVAL and whenever anyone sees him with her its just a long session of “…are you SURE he doesnt like her???” “man, idk anymore.”

and leafs trainers school life is trying to keep up with and competeing with green, getting flustered whenever he teases her, being the subject of A LOT of jealousy because she spends the most time with green out of literally anyone, and soft smiles whenever he helps/hangs out with her because shes just. a fool in love

when push comes to shove though, they actually care about each other a lot. green always sticks up for her when another guy or girl is picking on her, or if the teacher is being unfair, or if she gets in a fight with someone, and leaf always takes care of green, gets his homework for him and keeps him on his toes, and they help each other with school subjects and wait for each other after school to go home together and overall, it seems like they dont like each other but they have a good relationship.

Some Emerging Answers For Recognising Important Issues Of Game Fishing Equipment

New Challenges For Locating Important Elements For Game Fishing Equipment

The greatest game fishing equipment

Further Analysis Of Selecting Primary Criteria Of Game Fishing Equipment

And what if you add a trolling motor, a shallow-water anchor or extraelectronics? According to West Marine and Optima Batteries , battery buyers should consider the following facts and rules of thumb. Application and Number Starting, deep-cycle and dual-purpose batteries fit different functions aboard a boat. Courtesy West Marine Most saltwater-fishing boats can get away with a starting battery: one that delivers a lot of amperage over a short period of time (up to 1,000 cranking amps or more for five to 15 seconds); and a house, or deep-cycle, battery: one designed to power the electric equipment aboard, one thats capable of discharging much of its energy over the course of a day before recharging. Another alternative: Install two dual-purpose batteries sport fishing capable of starting the engines and running your electronics. However, a dual-purpose battery wont do as good a job at either function as those batteries that are specific to starting or deep-cycling, says West Marines senior content editor Tom Burden. Anglers who add a trolling motor will want to add additional house batteries. A 24-volt motor requires two deep-cycle batteries; a 36-volt system needs three. (Trolling motors can draw 5to 30 amps per hour, based on their load, so battery experts agree that dedicated batteries which can offer anywhere from 30 to 200 amp hours each makesense.) When adding batteries, consider where they can fit aboard your vessel based on space and weight distribution. Housing batteries beneath a center console keeps the weight concentrated and near the boats center of gravity. But sometimes space can be a limitingfactor. Battery size is denoted by a group number: group 31 starting battery, group 8D deep cycle, etc. A group 51 is the smallest 12-volt automotive battery.

Cam Talbot had 32 saves for the Oilers. We didnt come anywhere close to their pace or their tenacity, their relentlessness, Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said. We werent anywhere near it. The Blue Jackets got on the board 12:32 into the first period when Atkinsons shot ricocheted in off the skate of the Oilers Andrej Sekera. Atkinson padded his team-leading totals to 18 goals and 38 points, and Zach Werenski and Alexander Wennberg got the assists. That was a nice bounce, said Atkinson, who has 17 points (10 goals, seven assists) in his past 13 games. Edmonton managed just four shots on goal against a hustling defense in the opening period. Klefbom evened it 5:39 into the second period with a shot from the slot on an Oilers rush. Shortly afterward, the Blue Jackets Brandon Dubinsky and the Oilers Patrick Maroon who got an assist on Klefboms goal slugged each other briefly and went to the box for fighting after Maroon threw a high elbow. I think that got a lot of guys going, Foligno said. Karlsson, skating for Dubinsky during the fighting penalty, put Columbus ahead 2-1 on another power play 10:43 into the second when he ripped a shot from the middle of the left circle past Talbot. Brandon Saad, who fed Karlsson with a perfect pass, got the assist, along with Seth Jones. Foligno put Columbus up by two 2:45 into the third period with an unassisted goal after stepping in front of a pass as the Oilers were trying to get out of their zone. Edmontons Milan Lucic said he understands how Columbus has been able to pile up the wins. You could see everything is falling in the right direction for them, Lucic said.

The split ring at the rear of the lure allowed the single hook to connect in the corner of this stripers mouth. Adrian E. Gray While those split-ring pliers are out, add a game fishing lures split ring to the line-tie of the lure. VMCs LTSR line-tie split ring is a tear-drop option. Swimming plugs often need split rings at the line-tie, as do sinking glide baits and wakebaits that rely on action beneath the waters surface. Shy away from split rings with topwater baits a ring can actually make the bait nose-heavy, disrupting the lures action. If you are walking a bait on top, most anglers prefer the direct line-tie so you have a better feel for your lure and are able to snap it back and forth quickly with direct force, says Shitanishi. Some anglers prefer split rings on lipped and vibrating baits so the bait can oscillate better while being reeled in one direction. A quality split ring, such as the new stainless-steel VMC SSSR (pictured), can attach at the nose of a twitchbait to increase lure action and attraction. Bill Doster One last tip, not related to plugs: Consider adding a split ring to a live-bait hook before tying it to the leader. Adding a split ring to the hook enables better natural bait action in the water, says Rives.
