On the one hand, SaviBarry needs to kill Iris to make Flash try and stop him by making the time remnants, thus creating RemnantBarry. If there is no RemnantBarry made, then SaviBarry can't exist. (Even though he does.)

However, KNOWING that SaviBarry is RemnantBarry, it seems to me that all RealBarry has to do is NOT make time remnants to fight SaviBarry in the first place, thus uncreating SaviBarry in the first place.

This gets into the whole " "Go back in time and kill your own grandfather" effect, where, if you kill your own grandfather, how do you exist to go back and kill him in the first place" territory.

It also goes into something like: RemnantBarry becomes SaviBarry after being shunned by everyone else, so, knowing this, why can't everyone, well, NOT SHUN RemnantBarry, if he even does get created, thus, at least trying, to prevent his turn to being SaviBarry?

As was stated in the episode quite a few times, "cause and effect".


So, we had an encounter against some stirges, and our synthesist got hit while his eidolon was summoned around him, causing Con damage.
Given that the eidolon's physical stats essentially replace the summoner's physical stats, which of the two should take the damage? The summoner or the eidolon?

The DM in this case put the damage on the summoner, which I can understand, and we all went with, but the weird nature of the synthesist's symbiotic relationship with their eidolon has me wondering.

If the eidolon, can he just dismiss the eidolon, then resummon it with the damage gone, or is that persistent?

Jupiter Ascending.
It is a beautiful but flawed work.
The Flaw is that there was to much compressed into one film. The entire first act could and should have been its own movie.

Jupiter Ascending was supposed to be a trilogy, but the studio backed out, so the directors just crammed everything into one movie.

A point about Aida and the Framework:

:
She is an artificial intelligence, a hyper-complicated computer program. As such, I find it likely that there is a copy of her program in the Framework (Madam Hydra) AND one in her LMD body. They already had a limited version of her program in the Aida LMD that Mac took out, so the precedent is there.

The one in the Framework is obviously focused on Fitz (and keeping things stataus quo), but the one in the real world seems more focused on the Superior (and otherwise fulfilling her core program).

This could lead to the team defeating Madam Hydra, with Aida being none the wiser until they come out of the Framework, which would then lead to a rematch between Daisy and the upgraded Superior, Mace powering up for potentially the last time to fight Superior, or both, depending on how badass Aida made him.

This also makes me ask the question: "How long is a day in the Framework?" Does time pass faster in there? Like, have Daisy and Jemma been in there for maybe an hour real-time, with everything transpiring very quickly, or have they been laying in the plane for a day or so already

In a home-brew, we were in a keep, looking for a lich that was commanding the local baddies. None of us, character or player, had ever actually encountered a lich before. We make it into what we believe is the final area of the evil lair, but the guy we find doesn't look like the pictures we've seen in magazines or on book covers.

Confused Player 1: "Are you a lich?"

Player 2 (In his best Samuel L. Jackson voice): "Does he LOOK like a lich?!"

Player 1: "What?"

Player 2: "Where are you from anyways?"

Player 1: "What?!"

Player 2: "What ain't no kingdom I ever heard of. Do they speak Common in What?"
