After The War posted:Looking at the Wikipedia page, besides reminding me that I religiously read the TNG and DS9 books in the 90s and retained almost nothing, led me to two books on Amazon: The first one looks interesting but I'm not gonna pony up $40 for a curiosity. I wish there was a cheap and easy way to read the terrible Marvel and Wildstorm issues.

Man, DS9, Our Man Bashir is either the very best or very worst episode of the series and I can't decide which.

Mukaikubo posted:When faced with a choice like this, I tend to ask: "Did the cast visibly enjoy doing this?" If so- as is clearly the case for Our Man Bashir- it is one of the very best. Nana Visitor was clearly having more fun than anyone else. Her hammy accent is amazing.

I'm closing in on the end of Season 4 of DS9 and there's quite a few episodes I don't remember, O'Brien going to mind-prison for 20 years being one in particular. It's really nice to find unknown parts of the show (to me) after all this time when I thought I'd seen every episode.

Cause anyone who just refuses to pay or delete them, what's he gonna do? I think it is public knowledge, he was at WizardWorld Indy last year and people were defiantly taking pictures with him in the background.

Just got back from Beyond, loved it. There is a scene towards the end that caught me off guard and I absolutely teared up. You'll all know what I'm talking about once you see it.

The Maqui had Federation built fighters that were roughly the size of Runabout, those ships from BoBW weren't all that much smaller. Hell even shuttlecraft can do low warp and have shields.

It's going to be STD. CBS will do everything they can do undo this but it's too late.

Tighclops posted:I hope you're joking because this is actually pretty much what happened to kill off the classic Lego Space subthemes and if this is true also It was stated a lot on the LEGO sites some years back. SW is a proven cash cow and LF didn't want Paramount to get their fingers into that. And now with Disney in control I expect it won't change. There's some behind the scenes poo poo going on where Disney wanted all the DC properties cut out of LEGO Dimensions but since WB owns the company that makes the games thee's no way it would happen.

Nitrousoxide posted:That was when Disney was trying to do their own toys to life thing. With them cancelling their video games division we'll probably see more games and toys for star wars They never slowed down on the actual Lego Star Wars toys. And it's still very unlikely that any Disney owned characters will appear alongside WB owned ones. DS9 5x17 - Odo had sex with a lady and when she pressed him about how shape shifters have sex he made his shifting noise and she started moaning. Deep Space Nine is DIRTY.

I attended a B5 convention (it was tiny) in the late 90's and he went on a massive anti-woman rant during a panel so there's also that.

DeadBonesBrook posted:2) Is it true that Gene Roddenberry wanted the Ferengi to have giant dong's that required massive codpieces to house them and that they were meant to be great lovers? I've seen it mentioned on Memory Alpha but its only source is an obscure magazine article. Is it documented anywhere else? The original premise of the Magnificent Ferengi was going to involve the theft of Rom's enormous dick.
