If Paramount had allowed them to stick with the original premise-- damage carrying over, plants lining the corridors to supplement life support, incorporating alien tech, etc— the show could have been much stronger. Instead, since it was on a ship, it was seen as the successor to TNG and written as such.

Only in the reboot movies. The Prime timeline establishes that he served on the Republic as an ensign (most likely while still in the Academy), as an instructor at Starfleet Academy, and the Farragut as a lieutenant about ten years before the Enterprise. There’s no mention in canon of any other ship or posting other…

Hoisted by their own Picard.

There’s so many of conventions now, the market for them is oversaturated. There’s been a convention where I live that started as a decent size and have grown to the point that it’s filling the largest convention center in the metro area. A few years back, someone saw how popular the show was and started a convention…

The first season really suffered having to tread water until Winter Soldier dropped, but those last six or so episodes are fantastic.

Some non-canon sources say he was born in 2205, making him 54 or 55. He would have been fairly early in his career when he gave that speech, so maybe it was a guest lecture or something? 

Ultimate Spider-Man was great, but Mark Millar’s racism bleeds into ALL of his work.

So, does Penn State have a quota of sex pests they need on their payroll or what?

Fury dealing with growing old and the various injuries he’s received over the years— seriously, he’s maimed in Captain Marvel, shot in Avengers and Winter Soldier and that’s half of his non-cameo appearances— and having to rely more and more on being a sneaky bastard relying on younger agents to pull of the physical…

Your horse is amazing!

It was Birthright. That book is everything Man of Steel was trying to do but a thousand times better. (It's also where the El family crest/S-shield meaning "hope" originated.)

A Peter Parker who’s made it— joined the Avengers, saved the world, been pretty popular— and is now trying to get that back has a lot of potential. Plus, losing his mentor/sponsor with Stark dead and going back to making his own equipment and fighting for them little guy. There’s a lot of potential there.

You can find Smith’s script online and it’s pretty solid. It has its flaws and I don’t see how it would have been made for less than $100 million, but it certainly would have been better than the last few Superman movies.

Kevin Smith was brought in before Tim Burton. He completed a script, was doing rewrites and then Burton was hired and decided to do a completely different script with Nicolas Cage wearing the cape.

That’s true. In the Incredible Hulk, he’s a rumor. That carries over to the Avengers and then the Hulk is (mostly) under control in Age of Ultron and then he’s off-world. The next time he’s seen on Earth, he’s Banner’s mind in the Hulk’s body and wildly popular. We never really got the hunted and feared, rampaging…

There’s a huge difference in their mission statements and power levels, though. The Suicide Squad is relatively low-powered black ops while the Authority can go toe-to-toe with the JLA (and probably win) and their goal is making the world better, no matter the cost.

I really dug Kelly and Mahnke's JLA run. It was really inventive.

Which is how the Marvel G.I. Joe series was conceived! Fury formed a special unit to go after Hydra. The pitch didn’t land or it didn’t make it that far before Hasbro came knocking about the idea for the toyline and adaptation.

For the American Transformers comics, that’s why Bumblebee was rebuilt as Goldbug.

I loved the Ellis/Hitch run of the Authority, despite the diminishing returns of the latter stories, but I have no idea how you can slot them in the DCU without fundamentally altering their mission statement or severely changing the other DC heroes. Either Superman is okay with the Authority killing their way to create…
