    Star Trek Lower Decks

    Not (yet) in canon, but there's one in the Titan novels (though she's a noncom, so she hasn't been through the Academy). Given how common clothed, female-presenting Ferengi were in the LD episode (and what we've seen of social movements in real life), I'm starting to think Zek/Rom's reforms...

    Star Trek Lower Decks

    The "different uniforms for each ship" thing seems to have been started by STO (and thus carried over into the Secret Hideout era). Classic Trek was pretty consistent about Starfleet uniforms being standardized across the fleet (the only time it wasn't was in Generations, because the costume...

    Star Trek Lower Decks

    We see Tuvok being a dick about uniform regs on Voyager, but that was explicitly depicted as Tuvok personally putting his foot down (nobody else cared, and Tuvok walked back his stance at the end of the episode). Starfleet in general seems pretty relaxed about uniform variations (of necessity...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    There's a Jenna Winona Kirk in the Relaunch Timeline novels. She's a LtCmdr aboard the Prometheus. She hates the name and the expectations that come with it (she'd probably have a very interesting conversation with La'an). Memory Beta also has a few other Kirk relatives, enough to fill out a...

    Anime

    60 years ago today, on October 20, 1963, Tetsujin-28-go aired on Japanese TV, becoming the first-ever series to feature a mecha. Without Tetsujin, there would be no Great Mazinger, no Getter Robo, no Gundam, no Macross --and no Transformers.

    Transformers: Reactivate (console MMO)

    Earthrise is a perfect representation of a forty year old animation model. My collection is set in the present day (I'd prefer something that looked more like a modern next-gen fighter, but with Starscream specifically I can justify him looking sci-fi).

    Transformers: Reactivate (console MMO)

    If this Starscream's cockpit actually becomes his chest as it appears to, this may be the modern Starscream I've been waiting for. (Especially if there's a non-patchwork repaint coming.)

    On Legacy Nacelle and fungus - a PSA for those who care.

    I just love that, in a few years, this will be Nacelle's "thing." Like, the most memorable thing about this character will be that he's "the weird fungus guy."

    When they ran to the bridge, the singleton took up position next to another. It seems likely that (older?) Binars can operate independently for brief periods.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    There was also the detail in McCormack's "The Crimson Shadow" of Garak and Captain Picard bonding over Cardassian enigma tales turning out to be basically the same as "hard-boiled" detective fiction like Dixon Hill (and which Columbo is a deconstruction of).

    Ahsoka - streaming on Disney+

    OTOH, she was educated at the Jedi Temple, which, according to the Ahsoka novel, was full of "overacheivers" (to the point that it gave her a false idea of how capable and informed "normal" people are).

    Ahsoka - streaming on Disney+

    Also note that we know nothing about how hyperdrives work or how they are classed. We know (or can intuit) that it's possible to alter a hyperdrive's class by modifying it (as Han and/or Chewie turned the Falcon's x1 hyperdrive into an x0.5), but we don't know if, for example, hyperspace travel...

    Ahsoka - streaming on Disney+

    Yeah, whatever the reason, it was clearly presented as "this is the only way (other than Purgills) to travel between these points." It's safe to assume that Ahsoka's group (and the Dark Jedi) are trapped on Peridea. Which means Filoni could easily just sidebar them and have his movie (or...

    Ahsoka - streaming on Disney+

    They could easily get around Ray Stevenson's loss by doing that particular follow-up in animation. There is precedence to have different actors between voice and live-action, as this very series demonstrates.
