    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I will certainly concede that they've gone against him a couple of times, but hardly enough for me to agree with this. That said, agreement with Trump isn't the issue here. They're all-but certain to take up the case, one way or the other, because it's simply too big for them not to. They may...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    It's not "if he appeals" (although of course he will), it's if the Supreme Court takes it up (although I concede that, also, is all-but certain).

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I typically respond negatively to accusations of "lazy" being used, but it's hard for me to disagree when it comes to TR Fortress Maximus.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    It's perhaps worth noticing that the episode itself even lampshaded that the Toymaker's accent slipped from time to time.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    The actor who played Luke really isn't in the business, anymore. I don't see him coming back to acting on any kind of a permanent basis. Maybe a one-off, at best.

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Full disclosure, that aspect is one of the reasons I always preferred the Marvel comcs to the cartoon (where most humans accepted the Autobots as the good guys rather too easily), but I do think that particular thread has been pulled, so I don't need to see that much more of it (especially not...

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    We keep getting told that they would have been released separately as Core figures. Maybe that's true, but I can't imagine the result would have been especially satisfactory. I think ZacWilliam1 said it best. I've been seeing LOTS of folks ask why it had to be a HasLab (with varying degrees of...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    Indeed, they HAVE done online/app stuff for Tech Specs quite a bit (if not universally, admittedly). I find that a dim reflection of what Tech Specs should be (YMMV, of course), but I don't see what I would prefer coming back anytime soon.

    They're okay toys, but no. Especially not with those heads.

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    Wow, harsh. I'm not looking to say that MP Ironhide and Ratchet are among the better MPs, but I'm hard-pressed to think of a SINGLE Ironhide/Ratchet Deluxe that I'd actually call as good....

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    In a theoretical world where a Marvel Comics-accurate Straxus already existed, I'd be willing to see Krang-Straxus made. Until and unless that happens, it's a mistake.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Indeed, there's a bit at the beginning of the episode clearly designed to bring new viewers up to date. And if you HAVE already seen the original Doctor/Donna seasons, you're golden.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Speaking only for myself, I've only ever heard the term in regard to UK-based television (although I've heard it in that context often).

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    As far as "canon" goes, we could (although no change thus far has gone quite that far, IMHO, people's feelings about the Timeless Child notwithstanding). My concern is that it unneccessarily yanks people out of the story, because it's SO different from the character we've always known. That...

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    I'm not interested in defending RTDs decision. Just stating that he specifically said that was the reason the Doctor changed clothes during this regeneration.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    I see the words in what RTD is saying that people are taking to suggest that future appearances of Davros will be wheelchair-free, but that's not how I read this. He's admitting that he's changed canon re: the origins of the Daleks (whose designs were based on his wheelchair, in theory), but...

    I was thinking "Dr. Horrible," myself.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Not TOTALLY confirmed, but the basic understanding is simply that the 12 regeneration limit (13 distinct incarnations) was artificially imposed, and "Time of the Doctor" merely lifted it. "The Timeless Child" doesn't change any futher rules about "how regeneration works." It just establishes an...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Does that mean he ceases to exist once he's unobserved? If so, the solution is obvious, and I've been suggesting that the media needs to try it for years.
