I like to imagine that some greasy corporate overlord demanded a concept for a TV show, and got himself shitcanned while they were halfway into actual development.  They had all this concept art laying around anyhow, so whatever, fuck it, kids don't have taste and adults like John Goodman.

I want to disagree, but the data are on your side.

Heartily agreed.  I remember the first time I heard about it, back when Beyond was on the air.  They mention it and I'm just like, whoa whoa whoa, she was his sidekick!  That's like hooking up with your adopted daughter, Bruce.

Fuck you, that roller coaster is magical.

One and the same my friend.

Yeah, clearly the solution is not to talk about it.  Silence is a great solution in cases of dead bystanders.

Well when you put it all there at once, yeah, it SOUNDS bad.

Yeah, but it opens all kinds of doors for my needlessly obsessive construction of the Aku Mythos, wherein a series of convenient crossovers allow me to chart the travels of the titular evil entity through different universes, eventually crossing into reality and possibly destroying/corrupting all that ever was!

The friend with whom I saw Into Darkness said the same thing.  I don't want the Borg to fight the old crew, though, I'd have to demand a Next Generation reunion.  Or just, like, maybe Levar Burton.  Just Levar Burton thrown into the new timeline.

Well, what if he was wearing a clown suit at the time?

Hasbro:  Don't worry, we can add Tatum in post. 

Is this the place where we gush over Speed Racer?

I had a similar thought, but more along the lines of "Marry me, and become the queen of Gaytown!"

I get to be an Executive Producer and a brief cameo (WITH DIALOGUE assholes) and I will sell this idea for a pittance.

Take my word for it, this is just a diversionary tactic.  Ross himself was never the target, he just needed a plausible excuse to ram his fancy car into that building, leaving a gaping hole in security through which George Clooney will lead a team of 11 handsome bankable actors and Casey Affleck in there to steal, I…
