Freeman is also a sentimentalist, as much as she tries to hide it. There are absolutely people above Boimler in the chain-of-command, but he's her daughter's friend, so he deserves to play a part in her rescue. (I mean, going strictly by regulations, it should've been either her, Ransom, or...

Rule of Acquisition #52; Never ask when you can take.

The Steven Universe thread was lost in the crash, so I'm finally starting a new one. Ten years ago today, on November 3, 2013, we first met the Crystal Gems. It was a different world then, and whatever the fandom turned into (and whatever CN put us through), the show deserves to be remembered.

Man, this came out of nowhere. It felt like the Friends cast would all be around for decades.

Blast effects!

Using the transitive property (Nick Locarno and Tom Paris are the same age, and Mariner is of an age cohort with ): Tom Paris would've been born around 2347 (given his apparent age of 26 in 2373). All four seasons of Lower Decks are apparently set in 2381, so Mariner would be somewhere in her...

I'm sure many of us have had experiences of a cat stepping on us with its full weight on the worst possible spot.

Not (yet) in canon, but there's one in the Titan novels (though she's a noncom, so she hasn't been through the Academy). Given how common clothed, female-presenting Ferengi were in the LD episode (and what we've seen of social movements in real life), I'm starting to think Zek/Rom's reforms...

The "different uniforms for each ship" thing seems to have been started by STO (and thus carried over into the Secret Hideout era). Classic Trek was pretty consistent about Starfleet uniforms being standardized across the fleet (the only time it wasn't was in Generations, because the costume...

We see Tuvok being a dick about uniform regs on Voyager, but that was explicitly depicted as Tuvok personally putting his foot down (nobody else cared, and Tuvok walked back his stance at the end of the episode). Starfleet in general seems pretty relaxed about uniform variations (of necessity...

There's a Jenna Winona Kirk in the Relaunch Timeline novels. She's a LtCmdr aboard the Prometheus. She hates the name and the expectations that come with it (she'd probably have a very interesting conversation with La'an). Memory Beta also has a few other Kirk relatives, enough to fill out a...

60 years ago today, on October 20, 1963, Tetsujin-28-go aired on Japanese TV, becoming the first-ever series to feature a mecha. Without Tetsujin, there would be no Great Mazinger, no Getter Robo, no Gundam, no Macross --and no Transformers.

Earthrise is a perfect representation of a forty year old animation model. My collection is set in the present day (I'd prefer something that looked more like a modern next-gen fighter, but with Starscream specifically I can justify him looking sci-fi).

If this Starscream's cockpit actually becomes his chest as it appears to, this may be the modern Starscream I've been waiting for. (Especially if there's a non-patchwork repaint coming.)

I just love that, in a few years, this will be Nacelle's "thing." Like, the most memorable thing about this character will be that he's "the weird fungus guy."

From here.

When they ran to the bridge, the singleton took up position next to another. It seems likely that (older?) Binars can operate independently for brief periods.
