Do you remember in Nemesis, when Beverly and Picard are in his ready room, and they reminisce over a picture over him at the Academy, with Beverly saying she remembered him? Well, she couldn't have, since she was somewhere between Not Even Born and three years old when that picture would have...

Changelings successfully imitated Martok for over a year, Bashir for a month and Lovok under the combined paranoia of the Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar for months. All under the escalating cold war between the Dominion and the 'Alpha Quadrant'. Managing to fool one Starfleet admiral who...

Anyone else think that Riker isn't Riker?

Given the number of games these days that rely on day 1 patches and overhauls these days, a lot of retail releases are just a snapshot of the current build. I mean, the main reason is money; a demo costs money to make, and with profile tracking and the like, companies have a pretty good idea how...

Eeh, I've found that damn few big games get a demo these days, and not that many more smaller ones. It makes me sad the demo is going extinct, I've bought so many games based on a demo, and at worst it's a nice distraction for a few minutes.

I had never seen it on big screen before, it was so good. Weirdly, there was a small cut, just after the return from the Genesis Cave, the director's cut should have a line in the access tube where Kirk tells Spock that David is his son.

It was a two-man team working on it, and one of them died last year, so I wouldn't hold out much hope.

You can still stuff the gap with something, but it's pretty variable if it helps or not.

I'd say that the increasing variability in ratchet strength is down to the main method they use these days. There's no springs anymore, the ratchet is a ridged cylinder on one side and a soft plastic rectangle with a tooth to act as the resistance. Any variance in this piece of plastic can lead...

Nope, anyone who wants earphones or on-ear or anything that isn't one of the Designated Types, you get to eat jive. And you have even less choice if you you have the audacity to want a wire. It's deeply awful. I had a little more luck with Phillips than anyone else, you might want to have a look...

Yup, I'm out a few hundred on pre-orders - they take the money when you order rather than when they ship - but I feel really bad for anyone mid-way through any of the build collections.

Wait until you hear about the government of Northern Ireland...

Yeah, even less of a fan of that than I am the thought that Kirk gets the Enterprise because he's 'supposed to'. Like, Kirk is important, and Spock is important. We know this because we know what the next 900 years involves. But what cosmic force is moving Spock off the board when Pike refuses...

He's not actually resigned yet, that usually involves saying 'I resign' and ******* off. He's just blathered enough to chase the wolves from the door for a while, probably in the hope that by the time everyone gets their jive together he can weasel into staying on for just a bit longer.

Yeah, good episode. Lots of delightful things, small and large. Movie uniform! Although I actually hated the update, the shiny sleeves are awful (didn't like them on the wraparound either), and the panel looks bad on a slope instead of straight. Balance of Terror! The music, the lighting! As...

Overall, I liked IDW2. Yes, it had some pretty bad pacing issues at times, and there's a lot of stuff in there that starts up and then goes nowhere (I wonder how much of that was intentional, and how much was reactionary to feedback), but there's so much new stuff that I don't really mind, and...

When you put it like that... there's nothing to say that Kirk actually faced a Gorn, they could have been in separate areas fighting illusions, it could all have been one big lie.

Yeah, I feel using the Gorn in this way is the series' first big 'lore' mistake. Arena is famous (infamous) for the Gorn captain, and I get wanting to 'redeem' that, but they've gone so far beyond that. We're well past 'against canon', by the way. In Arena nobody even knew knew there was anyone...

I'll always give extra points to something where it looks like the cast are really enjoying themselves, so this at least partly qualifies there. Mount, Christina Chong and Celia Rose Gooding went full Shat and was glorious, and while it didn't seem it because of her role, Melissa Navia probably...

Yep, that was definitely six episodes of events. Less cruelly, I did enjoy a lot of it, even if someone was clearly copying Fallen Order's homework. Everything with Leia was great. Hayden and Ewan were both great. Acting in general was good. But... A question that every prequel needs to be...
