Yeah, Beast Wars doesn't care about physical brains the way IDW does as long as the data's there. But at the beginning of S2, Tarantulas has tricked Blackarachnia into downloading his mind into her own brain, and he's able to take control of her body when the only spark in the equation is hers...

Your opinion wasn't unclear. But yeah, I think there's a lot of potential there, and I get the impulse to make Transformers have a biology, it means they can experience more things that are more similar to our experience as humans. They can age or have health conditions and injuries that can't...

And that falls into that same category for me as "what if Rodimus but without the whole Matrix thing" I mentioned earlier. In theory I love that. He's changing his body to reflect a change in his life and role. That's something you can do with robot characters that reflects or externalizes a...

Yeah, which I know I've complained about before on the topic of IDW's ... everything, but I think it's unavoidable here. Thaaaaaank youuuuu.🙏I normally feel like I'm the only one bothered by this, and it just makes the history of the world so flat. Like, some simplification is necessary no...

Yeah, my apologies, I didn't intend to accuse them of any such thing. I also agree with like 99% of what you're saying. In most continuities, Optimus Prime is the military dictator to half a planet and also contains their most sacred religious artifact in his body, which is also objectively...

I think there's value in writing in a politically aware way or making those occasional weighty connections to real life experience. I mean Animated did a lot of that on Cybertron too, and it never put me off. Animated also played with "the Autobots are also assholes", but in context of, the...

Even then there's a gotcha. There's a wide range in Transformers for how easy swapping alt modes is. One extreme is demonstrated in Rise of the Beasts, where Mirage swaps through alt modes like he's flicking through a photo album and changes from a small car to a garbage truck for a single...

"Darmok" gets mentioned a lot too, since it's such a distilled essence of TNG. I'd have a hard time picking a favorite TNG episode. There's just a lot of the series I don't remember. The standalone nature of the episode formula means I'd probably be looking for something like "Inner Light" or...

I'm nitpicking to divert myself from just directly shitting on things other people like way more than I do, but I would qualify that a little and say that Inner Light is held by the most people as the best TNG episode. It would win a poll of every TNG episode, but no one episode is going to get...

Thanks I hate it.

There's a lot of reasons people leave shows, so I could look it up or I could speculate, but I'm okay doing neither. He was cool though, I miss him. I hope they didn't kill him off just for the sake of manufacturing stakes for the Gorn conflict but that's because I hate that plot thread and wish...

I appreciate that they included a ringworld in an episode featuring a Kzinti character, and I love the conceit of following up with the one utopia managed and provided for by an ancient machine superintelligence that's not secretly evil just to check and finding out that it's still not secretly...

Yeah, this one is at least less an "ugh" than the first one, and also still feels really surprisingly like fan humor and unlike something official. Still one very drawn out gag I didn't think was funny, but without the extra stank. And "It's funny, because he usually has legs" was kinda funny...

Ma'ah, pronounced "mach", who we've apparently seen repeatedly but left no impression on me. Just an all around okay guy, it seems. The events leading to him being captain apparently happened over a season ago.

Yeah, there's no joke if it isn't a return of something we know about, like the Pakleds. Although given the way the Pakleds were introduced by playing straight the trope of, a remote Federation research station full of scientists singing "we love being alive!" is suddenly obliterated by an...

Fair enough, I hadn't thought to check how consistent TOS was with shuttles having a limited range. Bleh. So it all probably more or less adds up.

Why again was it that 22nd C. shuttlecraft have warp now? Is it just because TOS gave them thingerdoos before thingerdoos were canonically established as warp engines? Even though TMP actively retconned it with what is now widely misunderstood as the "Vulcan" shuttle?

They're still working on their SS86 Dinobots, Swoop hasn't been shown yet. I'd tend to guess they're not aiming to invest as much in the Problem With Cybertron games. But if they start doing threep memes I'll laugh.

I don't think that's actually Kirk. Definitely not Pike either, or Paul Wesley Kirk. TAS Kirk had darker hair in a similar cut to either Shatner or Paul Wesley. This guy's hair is longer, blonder, and flips the other way.

The universe is actively concern trolling him though, people are being summoned into existence to have been offended at whatever he said. Someone really is making up new minorities to be offended, like comedians think happens. This skit feels like the product of someone being told not to call...
