"Improvisation is just applied preparedness, I'd say," Tipple contemplated. "Is there anything we can bodge together in the security room to pin Archer or one of his close, personal enemies as setting up the hit?"

And I guess that even someone like Doctor Manhattan falls more into the Tony Stark category, even if he doesn't have a suit of armor he can take off and his only job is as Doctor Manhattan, on the grounds that having attachments outside of other superheroes is his one big character conflict and...

Isn't that the case for those three? And where do you class someone like Martian Manhunter or Aquaman, whose home life is part of the superhero world and not the mundane one? I'm sure it would depend on who's writing, but does Damian Wayne go to parties with Bruce, does he go to a normal...

Yeah, when you think of it that way, there's really no overlap between what Tony Stark's civilian identity is, and what Superman's human OC offers him, aside from casual wear. And then even in comics, there are definitely a handful of heroes whose superhero costumes are built in so they don't...

hug you're right, that big left field is aching for it. How much would you hate it if they used the Kelvin versions and just pretended they were new to the 25th century The Engineering / Ops icon in particular across TOS / Disco / SNW looks so, so very bad to me, like it was drawn freehand on...

Okay, are you using the wrong pronouns deliberately here? Kind of important to my assessment of that good faith angle. But yeah, there is absolutely nothing unusual about Nightshade being aware of their own gender fresh from activation, literally every other Transformer ever introduced with...

That's going to be less useful than asking questions or doing some reading up. I don't doubt that philosophical arguments are sometimes an efficient way to engage with a topic you don't really understand, conscripting your interlocutor to work it out for you, but I don't have much patience for...

The uniforms certainly are. That's one of those things that, like it or not, it's just too pervasive not to consider canon. Every new show has a new uniform, and they'll change them at least once again for a refresh, most of those uniforms never to be seen again.

I really hate saying this, but they're all chunky costume jewelry made to look good at a distance if at all, and I don't actually really like any of them once I get a close look. I didn't even realize the switch to the gold in Picard only happened in the epilogue, and I still cant be sure I'm...

Well, ideally, they don't want to rebroadcast anything at all, every network wants to own its own space with its exclusive content and have you pay them directly. Back in the 90s, when people used to complain about wishing they could pay for only the cable channels they actually watched, one of...

I honestly think Star Trek's subspace was originally meant to work exactly like Star Wars's hyperspace, a layer of reality where light just goes faster, the difference in name being presumably one of directional convention. That's why signals can be shifted into subspace, travel superluminally...

I actually think this is a really interesting topic and the kind of thing I think Transformers is uniquely positioned to play with, though it almost never has with the exclusion of IDW phase 2. But as a transfemme person (more specifically nonbinary with feminine pronouns) I can clarify some of...

Okay, I'm finding myself unreasonably impressed by this, but I just clocked the fact you probably were all aware of, that regardless of any other canon breaking shenanigans, Star Trek has been getting the combadges right since 1994. So the combadge had changed from the original delta on an oval...

I love the bit she meets Jake, "Did you get taller or did I get ... shorter?" (Yes.)

And maybe handing off to another distributor would be a thinkable decision in that environment, where the branding of the two brands isn't so deeply entwined. But that hasn't been their strategy in the US, so I'm just left reeling at the stupidity of it.

Prodigy lived there for its entire life until it was evicted a month ago because someone thought the tax writeoff and pinching off residuals on the one show that wasn't really making its ROI was better business than continuing to be the archive of all things Trek. One presumes the Star Trek wing...

Oh, he does ... not translate to CGI very well, yikes. But that is delightful, so nice to hear him again 😁

Taking a walk and got to really picturing this. Uhura starts to suspect the Fold is a person or people, but nothing concrete, just enough concern that it might be so that this is the reason they don't blow it up, instead of the inflammable subspace deal. The first Klingon ship has arrived with...

One would think, but he comments on it the morning after with Ezra!

Naw, back then those mags had way more circulation than forums have in 2023
