Actually, this comment makes me wonder if redoing those CR/RiD molds all in yellow with Tonka labels would have been more appealing. I wonder how much that would have to have sold for in 2022?

It was only $80, but we've seen the prices of everything go up quite a lot in the few years since then. I don't think this price is out of range once that's considered.

It's probably too early, even if there IS to be a change, but I find this chart pretty useless. I need to see one that tracks after the public hearings started just a couple of weeks ago.

The only difference I can see is that, while he would still have been a sore loser in 2016, he wouldn't have had the same level of power he enjoyed in 2020 to try to force the country to accept his version of events. The "big lie" would have been... well, smaller.

The only way I can reconcile it is that they mean it in a quasi-but-not-entirely serious way. That said, there are a lot of other things these folks routinely say that are at odds with their professed (especially Christian) religious beliefs, so there's that.

Not to absolve Gene, but apparently LM was responsible for the whole thing with Alexander Courage, too, at least according to the Memory Alpha entry.

The first thing to understand in this story is that (as has already been acknowledged) Majel Barrett and Gene Roddenberry were sleeping together. Without that, none of what follows matters. The story goes, Majel Barrett bleached her hair blonde, and went into Gene's office. When he didn't...

...And here I thought we were going to be talking about these... (No, I don't pretend these are anything impressive)

Saw this a few days ago. While I consider this the very worst episode of all of Trek, I had to admit, it worked surprisingly well as a Filmation-style episode (of course, only having to deal with a few minutes of it probably helped).

You know he never even reads the articles he posts. What makes you think he's going to watch a video? At least tell us what he said....

I simply took it as given that these toys are for Transformers fans who also like GI Joe, but NOT really for Joe fans who may also like TFs. The TF name recognition is thus all-important. The Joe name recognition... not so much.

I'm not thrilled with it, but given that the Supreme Court's job is to interpret the Constitution, if they say something's okay, then (by definition) it isn't "unconstitutional" anymore.

To the extent that this kind of comment is directed to things I, myself, have said, I should make clear, my concern is not about being "identical" to other portrayals. Perhaps a better word would be "congruent." Indisputably true. The question is, how much of that trajectory is more or less...

Indeed, it's not supposed to happen for many years yet.

It's not "wrong" that Chapel is being given depth (speaking only for myself). But since I have trouble reconciling this specific depth with the character we saw in TOS, I just decide I can't dwell on that. If I have to think of this Chapel as a different person entirely, I'm okay with that, and...

I hope that at least includes all autographs (as the FunPub BotCons did)....

I wouldn't say that they "represent" those characters, but for example, the kangaroo uses SG Soundwave's colors (and it's joey uses SG Ravage's). (image from BotCon's FB page)
