Into Darkness

oh no!

Beyond

oh yes!

I’m not sure what to think there.

Contrary to popular belief, the Sonic and Knuckles cart only worked with other Sonic games.

If you try to attach your Star Trek: The Next Generation: Echoes from the Past cartridge you will just get an error message.

I’m sure Paramount has already tried this several times to no avail.

you’re paying for the branded bottle, not the liquid inside.

the irony is that i wanted some of those wines, knowing they weren’t good, but i couldn’t order them because i live in one of the shitty states.

Did they ever fix the performance issues this game had?

Explaining? Stars go supernova occasionally, there’s your explanation. There doesn’t need to be further cause or intervention behind it.

Stars don’t just randomly supernova. Stars have extremely predictable lifecycles. It’s hard to believe a warp-capable species never made it past a 19th century understanding of how their sun works, especially given how fundamental the underlying principles are to our own ability to observe and understand the universe.

It’s a plot hole in ST '09, though I agree that maybe it is best ignored unless they can come up with a truly compelling explanation.

i’m a millennial, my dad just barely turned 60

i want to see new characters do new things

i would think continually rehashing characters from the ‘60s is a move meant to appeal to people in their 60s.

i’m much more interested in the Star Trek: Legacy pitch, but even then i want them to keep legacy characters limited to guest appearances so that the new crew has a chance to stand on its own.

Well you didn’t watch season 3, which is the season that actually won these awards.

it sounds like they want to cover the birth of the Federation, so maybe it’s a bit of an Enterprise follow-up?

They don’t have Dr. Pepper at my movie theater so I guess this movie really is never seeing the light of day :/

I’m OK with more prequels if it means letting Terry Matalas continue handling the post-TNG timeline.

On the end of Discovery

I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....

I love it when they try to take risks and do something new or different with the IP. Even if it fails, the end result is still usually more interesting than a safe retread would have been. Disco isn’t my favorite Star Trek, but it is one of the most interesting entries in the franchise, and has done a lot to expand and solidify the 23rd century canon.

People forget how controversial the Battlestar Galactica reboot was. Same goes for Daniel Craig’s James Bond. Simply being different from the source material is not enough to make it bad. Discovery isn’t as good as either of these, but i’m glad it tried.

His introduction to Breaking Bad was the moment it went from a pretty good cable drama to some of the best television ever made.

they used to be separate wars, with the eugenics wars starting in the mid '90s and ww3 happening in the early-mid 21st century.

this has since been retconned, and the eugenics wars are now some time in our near future, serving as the starting gun for ww3

Is it just me, or did they start with the worst one and get progressively better? Both last week and this week have been actually good
