"The Cage" is basically what the writers are citing for why Pike is so upbeat and cheerful when we see him in Discovery (when Hunter's version was battling nihilism and planning to resign from Starfleet) --his experiences on Talos IV were always intended to give him a new lease on life...

Yeah, "The Cage" (in which Pike visits Talos IV) was intended to be the first episode, but the network didn't like it and sent in notes (notably forcing a choice between "the alien" or "the woman," but not both). Normally at this point, the original pilot would've been scrapped, becoming nothing...

He should team up with Blitzwing...

I feel like there should be a Tenzin-focused story between Zuko and Korra, just because of the Cycle (Earth, Fire, Air, Water).

They've sunk too much money into this movie to not release it, but Ezra's made themselves thoroughly toxic at this point. Someone must be looking into digitally replacing them with Grant Gustin.

I guess maybe Takara could convince Bandai to do the White Base in purple as the Decepticon warship Griffin. . .

If I had a credit for every time one of those windows shattered and a Jedi was the only thing stopping that facility from flooding, I'd have two credits, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Which means it should theoretically be possible to do a head-swap and repaint, if one could find a proper-sized head. (Not Beachcomber, 'cause he'd never work with the military, but maybe one of the Sector Seven buggies.)

And where you only ever get the one shot. If the Apprentice makes their move and fails, the Master will find a new Apprentice.

Ventress definitely thought she was in line for the throne.

The Inquisitors didn't really exist before the Empire (nothing to Inquire about). Notably, they've existed as a concept since the 90s; High Inquisitor Tremayne first appeared in Galaxy Guide 9 back in 1993. As for letting Kenobi go, remember that Vader still holds Anakin's title of Biggest...

I loved Spock/T'Pring's line about "our clearly different mannerisms" as they were both standing side-by-side with the exact same posture. Also, people keep talking about how the show will handle Pike's impending accident --that's ten years away. How long do you think this show's going to run?

Always happy to see more *squints* Macross Flontier.

Kirk was explicitly described by Roddenberry as a West Point Grad, so yeah, an Officer's Officer. Picard was definitely the Diplomat. Sisko was the Dad. The first and last things we see him doing in his series involve being a literal father, and that carries over into both his command style...

The Darksaber first turns up way back in Clone Wars, then again in Rebels, leading directly into its role in The Mandalorian. It has a long history.

I know it's not remotely in continuity anymore, but I want to mention how the Gorn are described in the novelverse: there are multiple Gorn castes and subcastes, at times functioning essentially as independent nations within the wider Hegemony --and each with their own "egg worlds" where only...

And it was established way back in the beginning that Willow is genuinely brilliant with plant magic (and kinda sucks with everything else), making her one of the cases where the coven system actually makes sense. And I know we've seen Amity at least try to use sigil magic (and it kinda worked...
