My favorite Trek B-plot is the “Neutral Zone” from season 1. Federation colonies mysteriously destroyed. The Romulans, not seen for 50 years, may be involved. The Enterprise on a top secret mission to investigate.

You’re a hero -- wish you got more likes!

The inevitable Dynasty Warrior spin-off

I’m not going to protest Boba’s inclusion. But, along with him and Ashoka showing up, I’m concerned the Mandalorian is going to be overshadowed. I liked how small the first season was -- I’m more Leone than Abrams if you know what I mean.

Witcher 3. It’s always great to catch up with Geralt. And Red Dead Redemption 2. Both those game worlds feel real no matter how often you visit.

From a game production standpoint, this seems like a really intuitive way to create an immersive game with a limited budget (under $30k from a Kickstarter campaign). Good luck to the studio -- Serious Sim.

Maybe it was gameplay. Due to a glitch in the Animus, modern folk can only interact with the past like cinematographers and video editors. Zoom camera in, zoom camera out, add a slow motion blur every so often, etc.

The best Borg stories came from Voyager. That series took its time to really develop them, especially after First Contact.

Almost three months of quarantine and I forgot this scene! What’s wrong with me!

To me the Borg episode was like a kid’s spelling book. See Borg Assimilate. See Borg Adapt. Just a laundry list of Borg doing Borg stuff.

No love for Porthos? My favorite Enterprise episode is a Night in Sickbay (Season 2, episode 5). Porthos is struck with a mysterious illness and Archer is sick with worry. It’s a sweet episode — Archer’s relationship with Porthos is one of his best traits and makes him a great Trek captain. When they put that dog in…

It’s the Weeping Angels who need to be careful here

Topical!

I’m calling for a Guillermo Del Toro and Jim Carrey adaptation

The PS1/N64 era seem to suffer the most from graphical criticism. Unlike the SNES period, which perfected pixel art, the PS1 and N64 saw modern design in its infancy. The great thing is that both developers and consumers embraced that experimental period. Even in 1997, people knew that Cloud and friends looked quite…

The Gizmodo family is what keeps me on schedule — shop contest? That means today must be Sunday!

I’m going way back. Just started playing the original Final Fantasy 7 for the first time on the PS4 re-release. I’m speeding through it with the built-in cheats because 1) I’m terrible at traditional JRPG’s and 2) I want to start the remake.

I don’t like SPUMC!

My biggest pop culture “What If?” scenario is what if Dave Filoni oversaw the Disney Star Wars film universe a la Kevin Feige for Marvel? 

Unless a technically superior alien race sees a successful warp experiment and decides to take earth under its wings. I always thought the Vulcan’s role in earth’s advancement as a pretty smart way to magically give us all this amazing technology.
