    I was okay witht he first one, though it REALLY felt like Abrams would rather be doing Star Wars(and he got his chance, and it was bad). The second one, though... what in Primus' name did they think they were DOING? That was a failure at every possible turn. And yeah, I gather NO ONE watched Beyond because Into Darkness was so freaking bad. I've also heard Beyond was actually... kinda good? Doesn't it take three officers to engage a self-destruct? I watched Search for Spock(several times).

    Robotech tosy with a QA process? What a brave new world this is!

    http://www.galciv2.com/ It is definitely straight off of Stardock's own page, and not a case of Kotaku being Kotaku and putting up a fan-mockup as a game screenshot. Either Stardock are demonstrating a unit editor and enjoy tickling the dragon's tail, or they REALLY enjoy tickling the dragon's tail.

    That's... surprisingly appropriate.

    Okay, yeah. Pike DEFINITELY needs to dump the entire crew in the mirror universe and just call it a wash. The Terran Empire will doubtless be glad to see them.

    Man, Fate is one of those franchises that seems like it just prints money. They are putting all sorts of nonsense out. Between /Prototype, /Apocrypha, /Extra, /Grand Order, and /Kaleid Liner, there's gotta be a parallel universe for just about anyone now. ... Is Fate/Mecha a thing yet?

    Having just recently had a minor fit about how prevalent bad Transformer gun design is(one too many rifles with the handgrip coming out of the shoulder stock), I REALLY appreciate that not-Swindle's bazooka actually goes over his shoulder instead of being more like from his elbow to "somewhere a mile north of his fist".

    Cover your butt.

    Maybe Starfleet is aware of the problem and he was assigned to turn the ship around(or dump it in the mirror universe so the crew can feel at home)

    Yeah, that a MacFarlane parody is more like Trek than the ACTUAL Star Trek show is embarrassing.

    WalMart picked up the reissues from the Toys R Us firesale? Dammit! My local WalMart has one column of deluxe pegs for Transformers. That's it. I will never see these things.

    It is, but the shows keep dragging stuff from later on in the real world into it. No one ever considered the implications of the ISS existing in Star Trek, they just declared that it does and to hell with consequences.

    The eugenics wars are a pretty problematic lump in Star Trek's "timeline", and has been.. well, since the 90s. I'm assuming that some of the time travel shenanigans between Space Seed and now wildly altered the timing and scope of events, since the eugenics wars clearly didn't happen before 2011. Why 2011? If Enterprise's opening is canon, the ISS is a part of Star Trek history. We can safely assume that an ongoing global war would've disrupted construction of the ISS, even assuming that the space shuttles and Soyuz rockets needed to construct it were still usable*. And on the other hand the existence of technology on the level of the Botany Bay would've made the ISS hopelessly antiquated, so clearly the ISS wasn't constructed AFTER the Botany Bay left. THEREFORE, the eugenics wars HAVE to have begun after the ISS was completed. My personal canon benefits from this hypothesis anyways, as my solution to the space shuttle Enterprise existing in Star Trek while being named after Trek's fictional starship, is that in the Trekiverse the test orbiter was named Constitution as originally planned. The space shuttle Enterprise is the Trekiverse name for Challenger's replacement, first flown in 1992 and known as Endeavour in the real world. *Actually, the shuttle mission depicted in Enterprise is from 2010. The Spacehab module only flew to the ISS twice aboard Atlantis. This stupid bit of trivia is brought to you by cross-referencing Memory Alpha with Wikipedia for obsessive levels of detail about real-world events taking place in a fictional universe.

    Hey, it pays the bills in a way that Firefly never did.

    And if you do, delete your account every couple of years so no one lynches you for something you said a decade ago.

    Well, it IS still the Titan Robotech comic. Pretty sure it is impossible for it to not look like some variant of trash.

    The only person I ever saw translating Macross the First quit because he felt like he was encouraging piracy.

    Actually, my first thought was their "courtship" in DYRL. One mecha duel, and then they're married.

    Max knows what we want. But since he can't actually make the comic GOOD, he hopes we'll settle for some fanservice.

    That's where Peg hid his pocky stash.

    In fairness, that's not so much "PC gamers" as it is "military roleplayers". Or possibly just "roleplayers".

    Two-off. Powermaster Doubledealer was supposed to be his Decepticon counterpart. I'm glad they did the obvious with that mold, but sad it was a con-exclusive.

    Man, I thought Counter/punch was a good idea for the Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold, but they never realized it. I've always liked the idea of a triplechanger "spy", and never for any good reason.
  24. JB0
    Crowds? It wasn't a terrible show, but it had exactly nothing to do with Gatchaman. I don't really know what was going on with that title.

    That MMC Sky Lynx looks pretty awesome. Or possibly I just think any Sky Lynx looks pretty awesome. Either way!
