    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    I've always liked the poetry that Orion, Ariel, and Dion all got upgrades, and I've expanded it to fit subsequent material. My idea is that the "Magnus Armour" was the Mark-II Apex Armour, created by Solus Prime (the first version being Quintesson-made, and the third version being [the first]...

    Yeah, no more plastic bags in Canada (though I'm still working through my stockpile, so I haven't had to buy small garbage bags yet), and some stores don't even offer reusable bags. As a direct result, knapsacks and fanny packs have made a comeback because we all need to carry multiple reusable...

    Or maybe it's a "vinegar and baking soda" type thing because Scourge specifically is not compatible with the Matrix, as opposed to normal Primus-ensparked Cybertronians.

    Or just "AI" in general. We're living it now.

    He keeps a painting of his near-assassination. It's a pity he obviously doesn't know the term "memento mori."

    Yeah, I mean, there's probably a local guard or militia for Earth specifically (We know Vulcan still has the Expeditionary Fleet [that's what Burnham wanted to join before Sarek vetoed it], the Andorian Imperial Guard may still exist, etc), but Starfleet itself is a Federation-wide service. My...

    Yeah, Transformers specifically can make the case of being a Japanese brand (I've actually spoken with non-fans who didn't even realize it was made in the US and just assumed the whole thing was imported/dubbed).

    Star Trek General Discussion

    As others have noted, there've definitely been alien captains before in Starfleet, but there's actually a bit of real-world trivia to that: See, when Roddenberry wrote the franchise bible (during the creation of TNG), he decreed that, since Star Trek is a human-centric series, and the Captain...

    Don't Stop, Carry On - Gundam thread

    Correct, it was just one of those "premiere movies" that everyone does lately. Can't confirm yet where there're any "exclusive" scenes in either version.

    Don't Stop, Carry On - Gundam thread

    For those who haven't seen the movie, note that the first ep of GQuacks is only the middle third of the movie. It looks like the actual beginning of the movie will be presented next week as a flashback ep before returning to the "modern day" setting.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    It was never remotely canon, but the Axanar fan video had a great line from a contemporary Klingon: "If words were water, the Federation would drown us all." The Federation loves to talk, but that is the worst way to get through to Klingons. It's dramatic irony; we-the-audience have decades...

    It's pretty much the same mechanism that keeps capitalism running; it's nice to say "I refuse to work for an exploitative/immoral/genocide-enabling company," but that just results in you losing your home and either going to jail (in which case you're still a worker, just for no pay) or dying of...

    And you can tell; Discovery feels like a decent seven-season show that someone came along turned into a "supercut." We're constantly being told things about the crew (they're a tight-knit family! Airiam is the glue that holds them together! Linus has all sorts of weird and funny...

    In the novel timeline, Picard and Beverly got married and had a son, René (Jacques Robert François) Picard in 2381. (Given his age, Jack would also have been born around 2381.)

    In Optimus' defense, he was dead like an hour ago. Give him a minute to get caught up.
