    Star Trek General Discussion

    Considering that we have no canon coverage of that era at all, and thus relying only on the books; the Coalition ceased to exist during the Romulan War (the Vulcans and Andorians both pulled out to protect their own interests and the Tellarites didn't have much of a navy anyway), and Coridan was...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    We might not even get that, given how streaming services have been about cancelling shows and/or pulling them from their services entirely. This was a ballsy move.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Happy Federation Day! On August 12, 2161, Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites came together to form the United Federation of Planets.

    Superhero without secret identity?

    Superboy was this for a few years (throughout his original comic run, when he was living in Hawaii and when he moved back to Metropolis). He only started using the Conner Kent identity after Clark sent him to Smallville (at which time he didn't have his own comic and was mostly appearing in team...

    Anime

    Again, production models and timetables (and broadcast requirements) are too different. From the article: There were a few successful international copros back in the pre-streaming days, but they were typically passion projects where a powerful creator deliberately set up an entire new...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    Sort of (I have her in-hand). She has a mid-calf transformation hinge, but her actual knees are just molded details.

    Anime

    ANN did an article on that a few months ago. Short answer: the way productions are run/financed in Japan is unlike anywhere else in the world, so it's really complicated for non-Japanese studios to work within that system (or for Japanese studios to work in a "western-style" framework).

    Mental Health and Suicide

    A few decades ago people would've said the same about cancer, or cataracts, or hearing loss; technology marches on. We already understand some of the underlying causes (beta-amyloid plaques that inhibit neurotransmitter operation), and are working on methods to treat and even reverse...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Another issue with Klingons singing is that Klingons are traditionalists. It's not just singing, it's singing the "approved" songs in the "proper" way. This musical field was making them improvise, which must have felt like an attack on their culture (which Klingons have always been defensive...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Honestly, I feel like it would've worked better with a random god-like alien behind it all, even if that particular plot mechanism has been done to death in other musical episodes (Buffy, The Flash, and sort of in The Brave and the Bold). I mean, it's Star Trek; god-like aliens putting the crew...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I just got that yesterday (I was at Walmart for unrelated stuff). He's a surprisingly great little toy once you get past the brown wheels and lack of paint. Alt-mode is decent (though there are a few gaps and things that have to be massaged just right to get into position). Thinking of calling...

    My Adventures With Superman

    He's only been referred to in credits as "the General," but yeah, given the context it'd make the most dramatic sense for him to be Sam Lane.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I think part of the problem is that aside from a couple of cases (Sam and Cade) we don't really get continuing human characters, so we A) don't really get enough time for coherent character development, B) have to re-hash the "introduction to Transformers" theme every damn time, and C) can't...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Yeah, there's a distinction between "holo-drivers" who can sit in a driver's seat and deliver dialogue and full holomatter avatars who can walk around and interact with physical objects. As for the VFX budget-per-character, I'm curious as to how that breaks down in terms of designing...

    The Dragon Prince

    Mainly in Viren's vision (the Red Room with the zigzag floors, Opeli as the Log Lady, the homunculus' little dance, and the easy chairs that appeared in the credits sketches), but I'm also counting the coffee and donuts in Katolis.

    The Dragon Prince

    There were also several Twin Peaks homages in the second episode.
