I did mention a second bout of extended stasis lock... history rhyming and all that. 😉 Of course, David Willis was known to insist back on ATT of yore that after Hot Rod stopped shooting at said shuttle, Brawn guided it to a landing on top of Predaking -- which is why the team's debut was...

I'd like to think that Mrs. Nishimura wasn't quite like that, but anyway, enjoy the Mother's Day x DDLC skit!

Although there we get the prospect of Tunnel Rat amongst the "Best Ofs" and callbacks. Hmmm. Perhaps there will be a Missing Link Bludgeon? 🙃

For Mother's Day...

"Spalling" is, if memory serves, the technical term for the former, as was the explanation given for Brawn's second trip to extended stasis lock (per the "Tales of the Intermezzo" story, "Planet Brawn"). The World's Worst Fanfic gang, of course, had no compunction about making endless "Brawn's...

Maybe Ivanka could commission a lookalike brand? "Hugo Bass", or the like.

Or he unwittingly poisoned it with mercury, per Wonkette's reluctant dive into the story. Which I suppose is proof that irony is only mostly dead....

Glitterstim is very different in properties (and somewhat different in world-and-production) from mélange, but there's certainly a casual similarity. C-3PO's reference to "the sand mines of Neelgaimon" in Children of the Jedi had to be a bit of fun on Barbara Hambly's part, though.

Compare and contrast with Talon Karrde, whom Timothy Zahn described as the "big fish in the pond" after the fragmentation of the Black Sun and the collapse of Jabba's organization. The only things we really see him or his people do are information brokering and shipping various goods to worlds...

"Looks like Team Raksha's blasting off agaaaaiiiiiiiiiiinn...."

Another crossover, given the time of year this was likely inevitable. Yor Forger, Emperor's Hand? Revenge of the Fifth This is the May.

I must really be hitting the fannish/gaming nostalgia, as my first reaction was to wonder: Is this a kuei-jin thing? (Yes, it's a multi-language portmanteau word. Interestingly enough, I recently came across a Youtube channel that would have a field day with such things if the owner knew of...

For whatever it's worth, Scott McNeil blamed a rushed production schedule for 200X Mer-man sounding nigh-identical to Waspinator.

The REV-9's ability to blend in (compared to Skynet's more infamous T-8XX models) seems eerily prescient....

20 years ago, that would have been a FARK.com gag.... ...yet here we are.

(Apparently Greater Tokyo experienced a delayed bloom, so it will be interesting to see how things go. In my city the trees have been going quite well for some time, and there have been a few tourists taking pictures along various streets. I'll have to see if I have any pictures of my own to...

Well, that's one deconstruction of Watchmen that belies the whole "Imitation is the sincerest form of Catastrophe" that DC-aligned creatives had been fretting about since at least Infinite Crisis. (....of course, then DC did what Alan Moore feared, and greenlit Doomsday Clock -- but that, as...

Um.... I'm looking at the chart in that screen capture, and I'm seeing a pattern....

Titan Magazines had just such an arc in their fiction, but springboarding from an alternate ending of the 2007 Movie -- so different Megatron, different Starscream....
