nine-gear crow posted:That's the thing about being on ketamine in the ICU: you don't really get the choice in the matter. I was convinced that I was jumping into a different reality every time I went to sleep and woke up like I was on Sliders or something and that someone had stolen one of my Let's Play as was updating it without my permission while I was incapacitated when it happened to me. I was sure Optimus Primal was standing in the corner of the ICU room, nodding at me reassuringly

Gaz-L posted:I'm still mad they recast Primal for the new movie. If you're gonna drag 80 year old Peter Cullen to a booth for these movies every drat time, get Gary Chalk in for Primal. I love Ron Perlman but the circumstances that made Beast Wars unique were rare even in the 90's and I don't expect any movie adaptation to measure up Chalk got to be in Stargate a little bit at least

nine-gear crow posted:It sucked rear end that they not only killed off his character on Stargate but they did it in a very sloppy "wait, did he actually die?" way and then he just never shows up again after that. Didn't he die when the Russian ship got blown up? I remember seeing him at a con when I was in high school he said that he learned all of his lines in Russian and then like a day before shooting they switched all of his dialogue to English Actually now that I think about it I think he was in Star Trek as well as a Pakled

And it's like "Oh, did Colonel Chekov beam out in time?" and everyone was like "I dunno That sucks, I liked seeing him on Stargate and I always felt like they did the Russians dirty

dr_rat posted:My personal theory is because "messy" people have some sort of gremlin'esq creatures who follow them around go and mess everything up when no one's looking. This is because messy people are just naturally more friendly, intelligence, good looking, witty, funny, charming, and just all around better people, which attracts these gremlin'esq creatures to them. naw it's because we're all phasing through various alternate realities where everything is slightly different but also everything you said about us being better people is true though

Arivia posted:Goddamn "The '37s" is good. I understand why they held over the episodes for the beginning of the second season (the airing dates make it pretty clear), but that as a two-parter would have been a perfect ending to s1 of Voyager, just like they'd originally planned. Janeway quavering in the cargo hold and then Tuvok's "Captain on the bridge." as the next line is a+ poo poo. What about the incredible cities though

Arivia posted:I thought that was an obvious casualty of putting it down to one episode and making it fit that format. I imagine in a two-parter the slaver abductor aliens who took the 37s would have come back as well. They could have at least reused that one matte painting from TNG one more time

Der Kyhe posted:EDIT: We never got TekWar or that cop show Shatner did, so I have no idea if he played that in any different way. TekWar is basically low rent knock off blade runner but made out of early 90's clip art and filmed in Toronto Shatner plays his character in that pretty Shatnerily. TJ Hooker the cop show is hilarious because sometimes he does his own stunts (not the more extreme ones like jumping out of a helicopter of course) and you can always tell when it's actually him because he either looks genuinely scared and/or he's sweating bullets. Being a cop show it's right wing and Shatner tries to play a hardass but I think this is the era most of his iconic hammy acting comes from

I actually really like Where Silence Has Lease, just for its vibes. The whole bit where they are on the fake Yamato and it's just hosed up and super creepy in a way TNG usually wasn't, plus I love Worf losing his poo poo at it and trying to fight with the doors

that whole sequence owns because it's shot like a typical 00's action scene with shakey cam and overcranked camera shutter speeds but it's starfleet phaser guns vs. fuckin cowboys while an electric guitar wails with the western music soundtrack ENT had no business being that cool

nine-gear crow posted:Yeah, Worf made it to captain and was in command of the Enterprise-E for its final mission, all details of which, including the fate of the E itself have been classified by Starfleet as an excuse by the showrunners to let someone else tell the story of the E's final days in novel, comic or video game form. The E was also at Gamma Serpentis and was one of the ships that got hosed up by the Living Construct, and was presumably under Worf's command at the time as well because Picard was an admiral by that point and leading the Romulan evacuation from the USS Verity. I don't know what half of what you've mentioned here is and I choose to believe it didn't happen because it was written by dweebs
