    Star Trek Lower Decks

    I think it's less a Lower Decks thing than a Starfleet thing. Everybody in the fleet is an exceptional individual just by virtue of being there (if they weren't, they wouldn't have made it through the Academy, or even wanted to). That's the aspirational part of it; anyone can be special, and...

    Ahsoka - streaming on Disney+

    Yeah, so Thrawn knows that Anakin=Vader, and he knows that Ahsoka logically must have had a Master, he just doesn't have the one piece that connects those two facts ().

    Transformer Alt Modes as a metaphor for Self-Determination?

    I just hate on-the-fly reformatting because it makes everything too easy. Plus it obliviates the whole need to be Transformers as opposed to T-1000-style shapeshifters that can just turn into anything at any time.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Money was still in use as late as TOS in the classic timeline. It's only in the newer series that the 22nd century is identical to the late 23rd.

    Transformers Hall of Fame 2023

    As much as I love Sky-Byte, I had to give my vote to T-Ai, because, let's face it, when is she ever gonna be eligible for anything again?

    Star Trek: Picard

    Technically, all we know is that there was a fire. It was never stated exactly where the fire was, only that Robert and René were present. The fandom (and tie-in writers) have long assumed that the fire was at the Chateau, but that is not stated in Generations itself.

    Star Trek: Picard

    "To each according to their need/desire" seems to be the guiding principle here. Peoples' needs naturally change over time, so there'd still be a housing market, it just wouldn't require tens of thousands of dollars per month in rent to live in a bachelor's apartment in Toronto. :cautious...

    Hollywood is on Strike

    Behind-the-scenes crew(*) have their own union, IATSE, who support the strike. (* Except for CGI artists, which is why so many productions these days rely on cheap CGI made by a PA on a laptop rather than well-made practical effects that they'd actually have to pay for.)

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Sonic the Hedgehog)

    I take them all as Junkions who think they're ready to blend in on Earth. We just need a Prowl or an Ultra Magnus who can do a facepalm.

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Sonic the Hedgehog)

    So, just leave an empty space in the display. For that matter, get any black Titan Master toy and have them carry their disconnected head.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Chiming in (as a[n uninvolved] writer) to clarify: Bay wasn't "forced" to do anything; he chose to be a scab. He could equally have chosen to halt production, as many other productions did because they valued their writers.

    Transformer Alt Modes as a metaphor for Self-Determination?

    My preferred take is that Functionism is an old enough belief system that it predates the era of Cybertronians being able to reformat. For that matter, when the technology did develop, it was probably treated the same way modern humans view gender reassignment (or plastic surgery to reshape...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Surely you mean Target: 2006.

    Ahsoka - streaming on Disney+

    I mean, there's no guarantee that Thrawn and Ezra are actually going to make it back to the GFFA. Having the whole plot roadtrip to another galaxy would be a very convenient way to just skip over the whole Sequel Mess. Maybe they coincidentally get back just after the First Order collapses. The...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Y'know, if not for the name recognition (and the fan expectations stemming from it), Cheetor & Rhinox work fine for what they are, which is essentially toy-only characters making a cameo appearance. Like, if you'd just search-and-replaced the movie Maximals with, I dunno, B'Boom, Sonar, Ramulus...
