Well... I'm probably going to pass on the Dragonfly then. I'm not sure what third figure would've made me pull the trigger, but this isn't it (and it seems iffy whether it will even make it to the final tier).

Yeah, what Sabr said. And here's a closeup of the gallery

Speaking of box art, I assume we all knew that the two boxes compliment one another?

Yep - this may be the most TOS-like episode of the modern era. The only thing that could've made it more so would be a few zooms on carefully lit eyes during moments of realization. I'd love to hear someone overlay some original series music on this ep.

Definitely manufacturer dependent. GM product? Of course. Toyota? Never an issue personally. Sure, you can find the occasional thread on the forums, but definitely an exception rather than the rule (and half the time it's just a popped fuse). Incidentally, that's one of the best things about...

If you ascribe to the infinite multi-verse concept, every timeline is a shadow of those to either side so they can be almost exactly the same but for small changes. But yeah, to have all the changes we see in the Mirrorverse or the Abramsverse or this latest UEverse, it's pretty unlikely anyone...

It's a combination of things, but mostly low bumpers/hoods and/or stubby front ends (the cab-forward design popular in the late nineties) cause the pedestrian to go through the windshield head first which is frequently what kills them. That's why small cars today tend to still have long noses so...

'Tis glorious, but I don't think I'll be participating in this one. The bummer is, I'm worried Hasbro will watch something like this to see if big playsets are worth crowdfunding, and it's not completely apples to apples. I like Thundercats, but they are not a property I would spend this much...

Yeah - the free shipping is based on when you bought it, so you should be good.

Amazingly enough, I got all of them from Pulse already - even Devcon. It's rare that Pulse beats Amazon.

That's his point though: they wanted to keep the optimism of the show. Roddenberry's goal was to show a hopeful future when WE (not some nebulous alternative multiversal us) moved beyond all the horrible things humanity had done up to that point (Pelia's whole "socialist Utopia" comment). So...

As to time line/canon shenanigans, here's the official answer... Basically what I and some others said.

I do wonder from a practical stand-point

True. They went away mostly due to changes in pedestrian safety standards, as the really low, wedge-shaped front ends that required pop-ups became illegal. Combined with the law change allowing other-than-round headlight bulbs, the added complexity wasn't necessary... and a little bit of joy...

Holy moly

I don't believe that. Him finding peace with that eventuality doesn't preclude a change. That being said, it will be really tough to explain a healthy Pike at Kirk's trial in a few years.

EXACTLY!

At a certain point I think we have to ignore their protestations that this is all still the Prime timeline, because that's more ludicrous than the alternative. With that in mind, I'd say the future isn't constant either.

Just because he fills time during the video asking for opinions doesn't mean it hasn't been decided or at least narrowed down to a very short list. I think the only thing to really take away from that is they may get some confirmation for the decision they've already made. Bear in mind, the...

The alternative is either going full MCU and saying everything we've known of Trek has been in alternative timelines. I'd argue that takes away some of the "magic" of the show which is that the collective "we" will eventually make it to that point. It undoes the hopefulness. Or go full James...
