Re: Star Trek, honestly, I haven’t seen Discovery yet, but the Star Trek “EU” novels are great if you want to keep up with ongoing Trek stories. I was surprised by how engaging I found them to be.

I know this is low hanging fruit, but everything the Prequel trilogy did to undermine the Original trilogy. Making Obiwan a liar (again). The rule of two. Midichlorians. Chosen one plots. Prophecies. Turning Palpatine from a scene chewing badass into a dimestore Hannah-Barbera Joker knock-off that looks like Bram…

On one hand, Ivanka’s hot. On the other, I wouldn’t want Donald’s sloppy seconds.

You know, because he nails his daughter on the regular.

“... in one piece...”

So, we’re just gonna ignore that heroin spoon, huh?

“puffing up” So you’re saying they’re adhering to the Expanding Earth hypothesis of our now proven Hollow Earth?

So, what you’re saying is, there really is a Hollow Earth? Time to book my trip to Agartha!

It’s a song as old as rhyme.

“When did everyone in geekdom become a professional-level seamstress and makeup artist?”

Like anything - when money got involved.

It’s a path to Instagram fame, ad dollars, bookings, and non-nerd modeling opportunities. Exposure, exposure, exposure. That’s not to say they’re not sincere in their fandoms, but there’s…

For anyone needing a tl;dr:

Imagine playing D&D, and your party gets to a chest, and to unlock it, you have to let the GM punch you in the penis and/or vagina.

That’s loot boxes.

WHOA WHOA WHOA HOLD THE PHONE.

Buffalo Wild Wings is a wing joint, not a fried chicken joint.

Oh, look, more Hollywood Whitewashing; they couldn’t find a single Japanese cosplayer to be Hanzo? smh. smdh.

She’s a Demon Hunter, the new class in Legion. Her abilities can create “soul fragments” when dealing damage. Running near one consumes it, healing the player (and other things, if talented to do so).

She’s also in tank spec, so she has abilities that consume all soul shards on the field, healing her for the shards +…

Asians don’t age, they just increase in level.

I ADORED those 9 issues of BattleChasers. CHERISHED. Like, I remember picking up the Image Prelude issue, and stuck through all the way. I cannot tell you how completely elated I am to finally being able to see those characters again in new stories, regardless of medium.

Issue 9 was released TEN DAYS before 9/11.…

I imagine it feels a lot like what Captain America must have felt like when Shield turned out to be Hydra.

Because that’s what’s happening here.

These people are literally Hydra.

I’m not usually one to admonish “reading too much into it,” but I think y’all are reading t00 much into it.

Everyone’s all like “Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets” and I’m just sitting over here like “moar Tekkaman pls”

I don’t know if you’re into reading the books, but if you are, Dark Disciple (which follows up on the Clone Wars plots featuring Asajj Ventress) features Quinlon Voss and it’s actually pretty great.
