I agree...there is no reason (that I know of) that Delancie couldn’t be Q on Picard.

Q did have a kid. They can explain the accent by saying he trying to emulate Picard because he was his father’s favorite but got the country wrong.

He can be a Terran (obviously), he can be a Q, he can be a Romulan, he can be an Andorian, he can be a Bajoran.

Delivery Update: You’re delivery has been delayed.

Tennant could be Lancie’s Q’s son - Q, Junior - from Voyager, all grown up.

Considering I’ll need a TV upgrade to even make the most of what the ps5 has to offer, I’m not even worried about the first wave issues. If I’m able to scrounge up a new TV during the non-combat resource acquisition portion of post-pandemic hellscape life, and find enough units of guzzoline to power the generator for…

After the imminent Mega-merger singularity, it’ll just be Weyland-Yutani and Buy N Large duking it out in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Comic stores are dependent upon a relatively niche customer. They’re trying to get more and more money out of a declining slice of the population, and as single issue prices rise fewer kids are able to keep up. I don’t doubt that trades sell pretty well, in part because they’re cheaper than buying the monthlies and in…

Comics have been on a slow downward spiral for a long time. With four or five exceptions, even famous titles sell a few tens of thousands of copies each month. They’re kept around by media conglomerates more to maintain character copyright than anything else. If a comic book story can be adapted into a new film,…

I know I’ve said it here before, but as a non-comics-reader: the comics industry is insane. The price per page is ludicrous - impossible for anyone other than an addict or a millionaire to justify. Certainly there’s no way for most curious outsiders to take a punt on entering the genre: the number of issues I’d have…

Layoffs in the best of times—spurred often by the misunderstanding of the upper echelon on what actually goes on day-to-day at a company—are devastating. During a global pandemic? Downright cruel.

Yeah, but that’s mostly because of the pun.

I agree with everything you say in this post and Voyage Home is the hell my favorite ST movie!

It’s even more impressive when you consider that they were forced to create a brand new FX studio for the movie since all the usual suspects were busy with other projects, and that the movie went from being written to on the screen in less than a year.

Ghostbusters actually was pretty pioneering in that it was a comedy with FX on the same level of quality as the big action blockbusters of the day. Its FX were supervised by Richard Edlund, the head of FX for the original Star Wars trilogy and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and it was one of the three Oscar nominees for VFX…

Heart and a message. Look, I get it, “save the whales” is hokey.

The one thing it CAN’T do is be a mega-summer $165-million-budget romp like the Kelvin series, because as we’ve seen, they won’t see enough international bank to make a profit if it spends Marvel money, which is why it primarily stalled out by “Beyond” ($335 global on a $185m budget, way short of even sniffing…

This rant may have gotten away from me.

Star Trek has never been particularly successful as a film franchise. Oh, it’s had a few hits, but adjusting on its ratio for hits and misses, well, they’ve been at their best when they’ve been at their lowest budgets. (TWOK famously shot on roughly a TV production budget)

I thought it was cute. I think it has the best foundation of any of the new shows and honestly feels like it evokes the hope and optimism in its tone, characters, and story more than either Discovery or Picard.
