    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    There was literally a big sign visible onscreen saying "Toronto Eaton Centre." (And the news screen above it was talking about Lake Ontario.)

    How Old Were You When Trans Formers G I Started On TV?

    I was four when it premiered, but only a couple of weeks shy of my fifth birthday. I have literally been a fan for as long as I can (reliably) remember.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I think it's more flexible than that; Star Trek has long relied on the idea that parallel timelines are actually parallel, meaning that choices are not completely random, but are guided by probability --some events are more likely than others, all else being equal. Something that happens in one...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Indeed, that's the only reason they could write "The Good That Men Do." Part of why I love tie-in novels (not just Star Trek, but generally) is that there's a level of artistry necessary in taking the exact words of canon and finding spaces to tell new stories without contradicting anything...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Khan is an Augmented human, but he spent two hundred years or so in stasis after leaving Earth, which is where Kirk found him. (The original timeline had Khan and his followers leaving Earth in the 1990s, which made sense in the 60s, but proved overly optimistic with regards to technology.)...

    Yeah, the ka'athyra dates from TOS.

    Incidentally, that wasn't CGI. https://www.tumblr.com/forehead-alien/725359597671661568/i-need-everyone-to-know-that-the-adult-gorn-in-the

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Considering that we have no canon coverage of that era at all, and thus relying only on the books; the Coalition ceased to exist during the Romulan War (the Vulcans and Andorians both pulled out to protect their own interests and the Tellarites didn't have much of a navy anyway), and Coridan was...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    We might not even get that, given how streaming services have been about cancelling shows and/or pulling them from their services entirely. This was a ballsy move.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Happy Federation Day! On August 12, 2161, Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites came together to form the United Federation of Planets.

    Superhero without secret identity?

    Superboy was this for a few years (throughout his original comic run, when he was living in Hawaii and when he moved back to Metropolis). He only started using the Conner Kent identity after Clark sent him to Smallville (at which time he didn't have his own comic and was mostly appearing in team...

    Anime

    Again, production models and timetables (and broadcast requirements) are too different. From the article: There were a few successful international copros back in the pre-streaming days, but they were typically passion projects where a powerful creator deliberately set up an entire new...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    Sort of (I have her in-hand). She has a mid-calf transformation hinge, but her actual knees are just molded details.

    Anime

    ANN did an article on that a few months ago. Short answer: the way productions are run/financed in Japan is unlike anywhere else in the world, so it's really complicated for non-Japanese studios to work within that system (or for Japanese studios to work in a "western-style" framework).

    Mental Health and Suicide

    A few decades ago people would've said the same about cancer, or cataracts, or hearing loss; technology marches on. We already understand some of the underlying causes (beta-amyloid plaques that inhibit neurotransmitter operation), and are working on methods to treat and even reverse...
