The Battle of the Catalaunian Fields, the 5th century Roman Army, Huns, and Flavius Aetius were my first research interests. Thanks to @penandswordbooks.bsky.social for giving me a chance.

This week on the blog: hoplites! In particular, hoplite equipment! We talk shields, helmets, armor, weight and mobility.
Was the hoplite an over-encumbered battlefield turtle incapable of fighting outside of the phalanx? (No)
Was he actually a good skirmisher? (Also no)

*Leaving bloody fingernail scratches along the ground as I'm dragged out of MGM screaming "TWENTY-TWO EPISODE SEASONS FEATURING A MIX OF ONGOING LORE-DEPENDENT SERIES ARC EPISODES AND ONE-OFF PLANET OF THE WEEK STORIES IN A VARIETY OF TONES AND GENRES!!!!!!"*
So the question is obviously: what are you hoping to see in this upcoming Stargate show?
Given that this is NOT a reboot, all the old characters could make an appearance, and some abandoned storylines could be resolved through dialogue (hello SGU).

I've seen a few other fan concepts for an AOS Animated Series. I'm particularly fond of these ship designs by Damon Moran. I love the cel-style artwork too. And that chrome logo… you know that's top marks from me!

I'm sorry but this thread is not an accurate description of Charlotte or how things with ICE are playing out here.
We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump…
Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

TW: video showcasing a violent display of force by federal agents
From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

Gregory Bovino, the top Border Patrol official leading the charge on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in cities, and his officers are heading to Charlotte, according to a source familiar with the planning. That was news to city officials. https://cnn.it/49crpZT
