It's not the theology I ascribe to, to be sure, but that was hardly the point I was making in bringing it up.

It's a trade off. We get FAR fewer episodes these days then we used to, but the episodes we DO get tend to be of much higher quality (Discovery and Picard's first seasons notwithstanding).

Pilgrimages are rather a different thing, though. Usually, a pilgrimage is (explicitly) about letting the place have an impact on the believer, whereas we're more talking about the influence believers might have on specific places.

And the way these streaming seasons have been leaking out, it's pretty darn close to taking seven years just to GET five seasons (and not just for this show)....

I should note that going to a physical location to "pray over it" is very much a thing, even besides the bit in wonko's post above.

This seems a hoax. If nothing else, the redirect described would be redirecting a hypothetical "netflitwitter.com" to "netflix.com" rather than the other way around.

Does anyone have access to a post from four years ago where this doom and gloom was being spread? Just so we can prove part of it wrong? I certainly don't think we should be taking victory for granted, but this isn't helpful at all.

Generally speaking, it's been when they bring in folks with deep ties to the franchise that the stories have taken a nose-dive, not the other way around. I'm willing to wait and see.

Not having actually seen this series yet (NOBODY HAS), I'm willing to see how this plays out. I'm not saying the Star Wars saga is without contradictions, but it's WAY too early to be complaining about this.

Learned at Gallifrey One a few weeks ago that, recognizing that Tom Baker is not going to be around for forever, but because he's come to love doing the recording sessions (which he can do from his own home), Big Finish has already recorded enough 4th Doctor audio material to keep releasing them...

I can't imagine that, if Hasbro decided to back out of a deal with FAO Schwartz because of the lack of health in that company, the "drop test" would be the excuse they'd give us.

I'd be shocked if those old G1 molds could be released as cheaply as $200 these days. So, yeah, I'd likely get G1 Scorponok at that price (I already have the others).

Interesting. I remember the discussions around the time when the Transformers Wiki broke off from Wikia (Fandom's former identity) in response to their intrusive ads. It was pretty clear at the time that, while the TFWiki folks couldn't just shut the TF Wikia down, all the folks who kept it...

Suffice it to say, I'm a fair bit older than even that, and had a similar reaction.

There's nothing to convince. If I haven't convinced you that I do understand your position (but take a different one), I don't see anything futher to discuss, either.

That's one perspective, but mine (and others) is that putting a dividing line that creates an "RiD2003" designation is something that Hasbro didn't actually do, themselves. It's something you can do on the basis of evidence (and let me be clear, I'm not disputing any of the facts you're citing...

NONE of us are confused. We know exactly what we're talking about. We're talking past each other. You're making a case literally NO ONE is arguing against, except to say that the points you're making aren't relevant to what we're talking about.

I know it's pedantic to say so, but acknowledging that the previous post is entirely correct about how late this toy came out (as well as the Armada styling of the package format), it's TOTALLY part of the RiD line. It says so right there on the package, as demonstrated by the picture visible in...

The theory makes as much sense as any, and I know of no known facts to dispute it, although I would point out that Hasbro was responsible for the anomalous "2" in Prowl 2's name. They didn't have to put it there! While neither Spychanger Sideburn nor Prowl (2) especially resembles their larger...
