    The other thing to consider is that Season 2’s filming probably started around the time the first few Season 1 episodes aired and then wrapped up before COVID hit. So, tensions could have bubbled up. But when everyone saw how the series went over like crazy, they probably all calmed down. Just my usual speculation/wild-ass guessing.

    Maybe Favreau has a thing for chicken legs or chicken walkers. . . Ooh, Macross mechas in Gerwalk mode imminent in The Mandalorian!!!111!!!

    Some folks are saying that the Jedi looking lady is actually professional wrestler Sasha Banks. As for the character she’s playing? I’m speculating maybe she’s a Sith Inquisitor. Just looks like one, and could be a good fake out, making us think she’s a Jedi. Most people suspected Sasha would be playing Sabine Wren, but I ain’t getting any Sabine vibes from those images. We’ll see how it all pans out.

    I’ve gotten some mileage out of the +, other than Mando and the related making of series. Got to see Clone Wars properly ended. Got to expose kiddos to Rebels. Family got to enjoy Frozen II and Hamilton (without having to drop ridiculous coin for theater tickets). And got to properly scar the kids with Old Yeller (That should delay their asking for a pet dog for about . . . a week ).

    A yappy beagle trying to hump your leg is no joke. Though, Discovery’s time-jumping shenanigans resulting in the destruction of all java beans and Earle Grey tea leaves in the Alpha Quadrant would cause almost all of those captains to declare all-out war.

    Kirk would infect them with all the space herpes he’s gotten over the years. Picard would speechify and “diplomacy” them to death. The Sisko would get pissed off, fire off a barrage of upgraded torpedos, and go back to finishing off his morning raktajino. Janeway would try to be friendly with them and then have her future self come back to blast them with a Batmobile-armored Voyager. (Something about having their cake and eating it too? ) And Archer would send his beagle to run amok time onboard the Discovery.

    Wasn’t that the initial idea behind Andromeda?

    Last Jedi is the film that really split the franchise: folks either liked it or hated it. There isn’t much “in between” opinions out there. Prior to that film, you could say that the fandom was this massive united monolith (even if you had a few stubborn EU supporters like me ). But the splitting/fracturing really kicked into high gear after Last Jedi was released. I can agree with you about the nadir comment. Part of what’s been bugging Trek since then is what is the show (or film) at its core? It’s this strange mix of sci-fi adventure; within a naval tradition/military background; that tries to show the audience a hopeful, better future (either through the growth of the characters or the aliens they encounter). Unfortunately, a lot of that core has been mucked up by shoddy execution or too burdened and buried by all the history/backstory it has to navigate through.

    So, hold my breath, put on museum curator level gloves (to prevent getting oils/sweat on outside of hazmat suit), continue holding breath, put on hazmat suit, continue holding breath, put toy in hypothetical container, try to focus despite lack of oxygen in brain, close container, and pray that my medulla oblongata reminds my lungs to start breathing again.

    Fixed that for ya'. Semi-back on topic: there's a local channel here that airs old eps of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voy, and Ent every weeknight. If I'm channel surfing/vegging and see a good TOS, TNG, or DS9 ep listed, I'm likely to tune in. Voy and Ent, not so much.

    Well, launching it into space may reduce the impact of gravity, but we would be increasing the outside temperature variations on the hypothetical container. Plus, there's all that radiation we have to deal with if we launch it too far out of Earth's magnetic bubble. That's assuming the plastic (and other toy materials) can survive the temperature drop to absolute zero. That's why I said to keep the inside of the container at a constant 20 degrees Celsius (basically cool room temperature). So, should we go with a full hazmat suit before we put the toys in the container (to prevent any outside contaminants from interacting with the toys)? Or will wearing museum curator level gloves and holding our breath be sufficient to minimize the impact of any contaminants and that pesky oxygen?
  14. Mog
    So basically we should store our toys in a lead-shielded container that actively sucks out all oxygen and other gases within the container, allows 0.000000000001 percent outside ambient light to seep into the container, while maintaining a constant 20 degrees Celsius temperature, preferably in a location that minimizes the impact of the outside atmosphere, air pressure, background radiation, and gravity.

    Based on what we’re seeing in the trailer, this would be a nice film to watch in IMAX.

    There’s just so many factors that could cause the yellowing. Even if it’s inside a box that allows no light in, the toy could still yellow. As I mentioned in the other thread, I had a 1/48 Yammie TV Max 1A stored in its box. The white parts didn’t yellow but the blue parts “yellowed” into teal. I’m pretty certain the tealing was due to the temperature variations where I stored it. The other factor could be the height of the shelf you stored it at. Even if the temperature doesn’t feel too warm in the room overall, it could actually be much warmer the closer your shelf is to the ceiling. Of course, things you can’t control, such as the air in the room or the chemical composition or manufacturing of the plastic itself, could be the cause of the yellowing.

    Looks like Mando finally upgraded his right thigh armor.

    It’s been so long that I had to read a synopsis for the last ep. But Hank was out wandering the streets in his Batman mask. It was revealed that Rusty and The Monarch are related. BUT. . . * Rusty doesn’t know he’s a clone. * We still don’t know who the twins’ mom is exactly. * That whole love triangle between the twins hasn’t been resolved. * We don’t know who or what caused Blue Morpho’s plane accident. * It hasn’t been confirmed who exactly caused Dr. Jonas Venture’s death on the space station. So, still a ton of dangling plots left to resolve. I’d like some other streaming service to pick up the show. But if that doesn’t pan out, they should do a “made on the cheap” episode; have Rusty walk off-screen; the scene stays the same throughout the remainder of the ep; but we hear the characters off-screen talking and tying up all the loose ends. Probably also taking shots at Cartoon Network as they explain what Season 8 would have revealed or showed.

    That bloody sucks. Even with the billion year-long hiatuses between seasons, it was always a fun show to watch. Kinda hope they do a low budget ending ep, where Rusty screams, “THAT’S IT!?” and then spends the rest of the “ep” off-camera, explaining where everyone winds up and explains all the dangling plot-lines/mysteries. Bitterly ironic that a show about failure ends by being cancelled.

    Nice find. Didn't realize there was a flute part in there. More Pillows: And an unusual Garbage pairing:

    Bane was ahead of his time. * Wore a mask everywhere he went; * Was in peak physical health to improve his compromised immunity; * Encouraged social distancing by quarantining Gotham from the rest of the world; and * Redistributed the wealth of that spoiled little rich boy, Bruce Wayne.
