    It's had a New '10s reboot, I believe? Mind you, so did Buffy, but the Boom! Studios 2019 comic, though spinning off and world-and-multiverse-building like crazy, would definitely be a bit too niche to warrant split threads, I think, if it came to it. The version of Sailor Moon what is on...

    In Ship of the Line, Morgan Bateson reveals that small parts of the Enterprise-D's frame were integrated into the -E in various locations, as a means of commemorating the legacy....

    Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation

    I first came across the revelations in The Fifty-Year Mission Volume 2. Hopefully it will be able to give a fuller account as to what happened in those first three seasons, as it's been a while since I last read it myself.

    There's a bit of tweaking and mix-and-matching in the character styles (the pink-haired tsundere is wearing Monika's tall black stockings, and Sayori's analogue in Sewing Club seems to have Yuri's height and... posture....) Still, it was fun watching Reddit wonder online about how much the...

    They were... intimate. However, as she was not exactly in her right mind when she seduced him, he respected her wishes to neither try that again nor mention it, and if you watch Season 2's "Measure of A Man", he is clearly conflicted at being compelled to reveal those events. As Bill Shatner...

    Although fans have wanted them to come back. They did in DS9 Relaunch novels, and it's offhandedly mentioned in a Shatnerverse novel that Picard and crew dealt with the first of three incursions, for whatever that's worth....

    Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation

    The closest we got for a TOS link was this after-the-fact LCARS file shown on the Constitution-class Defiant after its plunge through interphasic space in "In a Mirror, Darkly": As one can see, it also cemented the references to "Archer IV" given in TNG, linking it to the unnamed class M...

    So, in an episode of the anime "Call of the Night", the characters play some video games. And look what one of the choices was.... Certainly, it will be a wholesome game and nothing bad will happen! 🙃

    Star Trek: Picard

    While I had no hope that the Destiny trilogy itself would be used for story material -- although I don't think it would have prevented Season 2, Seasons 1 and 3 would need a bit more finessing -- the astropolitical changes wrought in its aftermath were just too good to not have through other...

    Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation

    Much like TOS, Enterprise was indeed Screwed By the Network (UPN in this case rather than NBC), and its last episode "These Are the Voyages" was, like TOS' "Turnabout Intruder", not necessarily the episode one would want as a last memory of the show. It didn't help that people were talking...

    But, Kirk would acknowledge that he was walking on the same path trodden by other explorers before him -- Magellan, Christopher (of the manned Saturn mission fame), Archer, Garth, Pike. Now, if you want to see tough decisions made with no body of prior knowledge and no Federation framework...

    It's funny you chose that episode, as that was the result of an accidental temporal excursion. (In "Assignment: Earth" Starfleet sends Enterprise back to 1968 for temporal observation, "City on the Edge of Forever" is a discovery complicated by having to retrieve a wayward officer, and in TAS'...

    This was, apparently, a byproduct of technology. From the Phoenix onwards, subspace communication ability often lagged behind advances in warp propulsion. (One of Jonathan Archer's early missions was to install relays to help mitigate this issue once speeds beyond 27c were feasible for...

    And Starfleet doesn't seem to have had the volume coverage (hence the ongoing "only ship nearby" plot hook) to consider grouping vessels into regular task groups until the Dominion War (if not somewhat before then, the "Bridge Commander" PC game manual claimed that the Galaxy-Class USS Dauntless...

    Not in audiovisual canon, no. If memory serves, I believe that "The Lost Years" novels (not to be confused with The Lost Era, which covers events from 2295-2364, including Michael Jan Friedman's Stargazer novels) had Kevin Riley as Kirk's primary aide between the end of the five-year mission...

    April Fools! Real Transformers developments that would have seemed fake years earlier

    Not impossible, but I think the timeline breaking was due to overseas events. I mean, to hint at an overused and over-the-top expression, Michael Bay could be credibly accused of "inappropriately touching our childhood" (what with pausing a film to talk about Texas Laws and RoTF Devastator...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    It's funny that while Thundercracker-with-Thrust-wings got a new identity as part of Hasbro's "Let's name every. single. use. of the model" phase in the mid-2010s (being named after an Exodus Seeker likely helped), I haven't seen the same treatment for Skywarp-with-Dirge-wings or...

    Twitter did not, in a surprising twist, reveal anything in that regard. But we have a name, at least: https://twitter.com/RaionArt They're the same individual that made the Yuri-as-a-vampire artwork I put up (with memes) on this very thread for Halloween.
