    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    I know *I* wouldn't. I *don't* pay for cable, opting instead for no more than 3 or 4 pay-streaming services at any one time.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    One assumes BBC America hasn't put the money into securing streaming rights that competing folks have done. Thus, all the properly British stuff has gone elsewhere to folks willing to pay for the rights, leaving BBC America with little truly British product....

    Why would I care enough to hit an “apathy” button?

    Titans Return Appreciation Thread

    I'd really need to see G1 Blurr next to G1 TM Blurr. Besides which, the yellowing on this one is so obvious as to obscure the authentic differences between it and the later versions.

    Titans Return Appreciation Thread

    I kid you not, this was the first I've ever heard it said that Targetmaster Blurr had any color differences from the original Blurr. I was only aware of the retooling. The TFWiki totally backs some of this up, though, at least in regard to the paint applications on the shield and fronts of the...

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    I don't have stats, but that's very much NOT my impression, which is simply that fans on the internet have been hating on Who (despite saying that they love it and are just being objective) since 2005. It was probably true before then, too, but I wasn't on the Internet for the Classic era. (I...

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    So far as I'm able to determine, "people on the Internet" were much the same about Moffett and Davies.

    Titans Return Appreciation Thread

    Usually, I was all for Hasbro "toy-centric" approach to colors vs. Takara's "cartoon-centric" approach, but in the case of Blurr, even I thought Takara's was better. (And, yes, I wish we'd gotten Takara's Targetmaster molds, too)

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    I was happy to declare the caveat of the publication's bias. My main point is that I was talking about RANKING, and you didn't even seem to respond to that, continuing with the same doom and gloom as the rest of your posts.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Lower ranking vs. other shows the BBC is showing? I don't think that's the case. The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine (which, of course, has an interest in making things look positive, I'm sure) paints a very different picture than you do (and, bluntly, I don't really trust you, since I...

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Everyone keeps complaining that Who is dropping in ratings, without taking into account that television ratings, in general, are lower now than they used to be. Who still consistently rates among the top of all British television in the weeks in which it is on. Surely that matters more than a...

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    It cannot be emphasized enough that the anti-vaxxers do NOT represent half of the people, even in the US (let alone the planet). In fact, more than half of those who vote Republican are vaccinated. The anti-vaxxers are a pernicious lot, who hold entirely too much influence, but they are in fact...

    Today is the 34th anniversary of the G1 cartoon ending

    Hey, I'll be the first to agree with that, but that doesn't mean I have to bash the cartoon to say so.

    Today is the 34th anniversary of the G1 cartoon ending

    I remember watching this when it came out. I didn't know beforehand that the series was coming to an end, but the sense that "this was it" was decidedly strong by the end of the mini-series. Even though it was open-ended enough to show Galvatron and Zarak still out there, it was clear that the...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    I'll be perfectly happy if neither of the recently-delayed films are ever made (or, if they are, they're totally reworked from the ground up).

    Star Trek: Prodigy, Season 2 not coming to Paramount+?

    Surprised that no one seems to be commenting. So I guess I'll give a couple of quick takes. Keeping in mind that this show is intended for a younger audience, I nonetheless found the opening two-parter engaging, and look forward to where they go from here. Last night's episode (the first...

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Got a booster on Friday. For me, the recovery time was a bit longer than my 2nd shot (Was basically out for the next three days).
