Have had posts removed as well. usually in a 'discussions' with others that broached too close to poli tics and such.

I just assumed that the whole 'war college' thing is a left-over from when Earth was not part of the Federation, post Burn. In Disco, we saw that Earth had it's own defense force and I'm assuming it is still in existence, in-effect right beside Starfleet, and maybe fodder for future integration back into Starfleet as things progress. As to the show, the first episode was all right, but these last two were hokey nonsense! My gawd! That's not to say I have a problem with the plot, but just the decision to turn the Academy into basically a futuristic version of Animal House, and not done very well at that. Drop the attempts at comedy and get to the overall story! In fact, this would have been better if these cadets were third or fourth years, giving them more leeway to get away from the frat house um, the Academy. May give it another episode before deciding to abandon this one. Man, really wish they'd given us another season of Prodigy...

Your cruiser is looking real good, @pengbuzz

That's wild! Something reminiscent of Scar or Chiggy Von Richtofen. And what's not to love about armor with cod pieces!

No, it isn't, but it's better than leaving the dog home all alone. At this point in her narrative, she's no shining example of responsibility, but neither is she completely complacent.

Liking the mods @pengbuzz!

Now that's a mean looking Glaug! Interesting that it's using a targeting pod. Very cool.

And that is why Bumblebee is the best of the Transformers movies and, IMO, the only real one. Honor the source material (though you don't have to be strict about it adherence) and concentrate on a good story. It's a simple formula that people still mess up.

She left him with an extremely protective 'uncle,' so in that she was alright. And, as I understand it, this movie is going to be about her getting beyond the pain of her past.

The chrome on that Zero is looking nice @wm cheng!

Well, she did leave him with her cousin, which was a responsible thing to do.

Wow! Sadly, I just bought a new car, so...

Yeah, Superman was a bad intro to the character, but I'm liking this more the more I see.

I can see someone using it in table-top gaming.
