    Star Trek General Discussion

    What's interesting with Nemesis is that, despite everything, it actually works surprisingly well with an obscure plot thread from some of the early "Numbered-era" novels. One of the early novels has Spock (around the time of the "Unification" two-parter) noting cultural signifiers and...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    There's also some behind-the-scenes stuff, as (IIRC) the director wasn't familiar with the franchise and made a bunch of minor changes that the actors themselves had to gently correct on set (at one point, there's a conference room scene that was planned to include a few never-before-seen...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Nemesis is set after the end of DS9 (which of course ended even before Voyager); there are a few novels showing Worf's brief diplomatic career (established in DS9) before he returns to Starfleet. Mainly that the leader of the Remans was visibly human rather than Reman or even Romulan. It's also...

    Which was a criticism at the time, but has become praise as we get further and further from having TNG on TV.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    My take is that there is no connection between the Thirteen Primes and the Matrix-bearing Primes. Like, the Thirteen died/vanished/faded into legend, then time passed, then Nova Prime claimed (or was granted/appointed) the title and passed it on to his successors, along with the Matrix that...

    I like that Silverbolt is the only one standing on anything. (Because he's afraid of heights.)

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    Comic book. Dark Empire (followed by Dark Empire II and Empire's End). Notable for being the series that also introduced the idea of holocrons.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Yeah, I'd argue that the Queen was used well in First Contact ("You imply a disparity where there is none. I am the Collective"), it's only in Voyager that the writers completely lose the metaphor and make her an actual queen. Here's a blog post I wrote years ago on the subject: The Borg as...

    Trans Formers 40 - When Did You Start Watching Trans Formers

    I was born in '79, and my oldest reliable memories are from circa 1985, so I was a fan for literally as long as I can remember. I remember having to set the VCR to record episodes because of church functions that my parents dragged me to.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    More to the point, Musk is a douchebag who, like all the MAGA crowd, is obsessed with looking cool and gathering power. A toy company is not "cool" to him, and can't be used to further his political agenda. If anything he'd pull a Bain Capital and just burn the company to the ground to cover...

    And there are a few non-canon novels following the Enterprise during the war. Notably, they were with the fleet that liberated Betazed.

    What to do with upgraded parts?

    Or customizers looking to complete a figure cheaply (I'm not gonna buy a whole-ass Voyager just to get a spare head).

    Honestly, I keep forgetting they're not the same guy. Maybe Duststorm got dumped out of a shuttle and reformatted by a passing deity.

    He's clearly not the brains of the Thirteen, doesn't have much of a head on his shoulders..
