Watched a vid the other night and found out the company who did the CGI for seasons 4 and above and the Crusade spinoff also did Voltron: The Third Dimension.

When Crusade got axed it killed the company and that in turn killed Voltron: The Third Dimension.

The world's a funny place.

Thinking on 3D Galen, I can totally see how they're made by the same studio.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.

That makes me think of something.

The first season intro had Sinclair mentioning how "It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind" like it shows on the comic cover, there.

They just TOTALLY left us all in the dark for over four seasons on what that meant, didn't they? We had to wait until the end of the Shadow War to find out it was:


First Age: Stuck on our planets/solar system.
Second Age: Amongst the stars, but just playthings/pawns for the First Ones
Third Age: Finally 'On Our Own' in the galaxy.

Hmm yeah. But also, calling it "the Third Age" was one of the most immediately obvious Tolkien references among many. I did not particularly expect the term to be explained over the course of the show.

Well, one thing I will note is that some people put some real effort into their avs but also don't have a locally saved copy. I've talked with one person who had done some pretty serious tweaking to an av that just looked like a screen grab from a TV show to make it more av-appropriate, and were pretty frustrated by it all.

My advice is to always have a local copy of an av you care about. That said, if that poo poo has already happened, here's a tool you can use to find your last couple of avs: https://goons.neocities.org/

It's not perfect, but I was able to use it to help out the goon I mentioned above.

No idea if that could help. :kiddo:

Every time I drive through downtown Atlanta (as I did on Saturday) and I go between the Turner building and Williams Street and see the giant gold owl up there I get a little verklempt about how loving weird and kind of magic the 90s were.

I finally got to watch The Road Home. Definitely not as disappointing as The Lost Tales was. The replacement voice actors were definitely of varying quality. I do have a question, just to make sure I got the right read on it, spoiler tags just to be polite.


That last universe "our" Sheridan was in before Delenn rescues him, with Lochley and Sinclair present as Earth Force ship Captains. That's the universe the reboot is going to take place in if it ever gets off the ground, right?

No, but some future side stories might. And maybe the potential reboot could acknowledge the existence of a multiverse in some way.

I believe JMS has said that The Road Home is not connected to the reboot.

No. JMS said if they do more cartoons he's thinking about exploring that one, but the reboot is a completely different thing.
