FWIW, my toy vote went to Metalhawk.

I gave up making these banners years ago (the Hall of Fame really just isn't what it once was), but this old one is relevant.

I did my part. I voted for Kelly.

Recognizing that novels aren't canon (and, indeed, the novels in question are even less canon now than they used to be) I like the idea that Worf adopted Spot after Data's passing.

I can't speak to when that specific event occurred, although I'll certainly concede there was a time in which Twitter was fine, and that said time did in fact end well before Musk took over. But even the state of Twitter just prior to Musk was so profoundly different than what it became almost...

Well, ideally, without the rancor. Seriously, the Twitter-substitutes I've tried out so far are MUCH more pleasant places to be.

Sorry if I sounded like I was being pedantic (certainly I have that tendency). In this instance, I was truly confused what the problem was, since (not remembering specifically what the show asserted) I was imagining someone traveliing from a planet circling one star within the constellation to a...

in theory, yes, but isn't it the case that they typically want the writers on-hand during the shoot so that they can write updates as the season goes along, and they keep everything as coherent as possible?

I'm confused about this assertion that Eridani is a star. Is it not a constellation?

You want to argue with the dictionary (or that particular one)? Go right ahead. Dictionaries aren't infallible. I'm not going to make any further issue of it. It may well be archaic. I don't know. I spell aesthetics with an "a" in front that, truth be told, makes no sense to me, either. But...

The link says "especially British", which would be consistent with Musk's heritage (as I indicated, he was born in South Africa, but some of his ancestry is British).

Is it not? I mean, he's from South Africa, which does have lots of OTHER official languages, but one of them IS English....

As I said, not long term. As a one off? Well, I wouldn't bet on it, but such things HAVE been done before....

Even if they did, it wouldn't be something they could do for long. Those voice actors would demand far higher salaries.

While I remain a believer, I really do have to agree with both clauses of this statement.

I don't have time for this, and I'm no longer even certain that the instigator is honestly engaging the conversation rather than just saying things to get a reaction. I'm done.

Probably not, but it's more than a little unreliable as a source....

While I'm a HUGE fan of Zoom and other online venues, the idea that such things can totally replace the need for in-person meetings is folly. Things will change, to be sure, but there are important facets of relationship that online communications simply can't convey.

While this is the usual truth, Quantum Leap very much turns that idea on its head. More to the point of the rest of your post. Tropes aren't inherently bad. It's all about how they're used. But I'd be happy if they'd stop it with the season arcs, myself.

In regard to the question of what being "saved" means, I should note that the evangelical construct (not limited to them, of course) of eternal torment in Hell (that is, for those not saved) is not necessarily what the New Testament authors believed (and the Old Testament authors definitely...
