Thank the profits that DS9 didn’t end up having a similar ending (the one where the series is revealed to be coming from Benny Russell’s imagination).

Star Trek fans who are outraged over Tuvix but not sweet baby Sim are letting on that they skipped Enterprise.

I feel like horny is the wrong word. Horny makes me think Baywatch or Star Trek: Enterprise, where characters hardly need a pretense to rub each other down. XWP is a very sexy show with characters who have complex sexualities. I dug this article more when I mentally replaced “horney” with “gay.” 

Applegate wanted it to be animated but unfortunately authors didn’t really get a say back then. I recall the problem being that Scholastic produced the TV series, and what do they know about making TV shows? Then again, I recall liking the Goosebumps TV series.

I was salty they removed the Xena references from the 2011 rerelease. I think Animorphs has to be set in the 1990s to work.

Applegate and Grant are still together. They recently moved to LA because Grant is pursuing screenwriting and trying to produce a Gone TV series, according to his latest AMA on Reddit. They both are vocally supportive of their daughter and Animorphs fans who read Tobias as a trans character. Grant is a flawed human…

Could you give an example? I have followed him and Applegate on social media for the last ten years or so, and they’re vocally supportive of gay and trans rights, even before their oldest daughter came out. It is possible I missed something, however.

If anything, Grant seems invested in his identity as an ally to the…

The illustrator is answering questions on Twitter, and said the series will be violent but more of it happens to the aliens than the Animorphs. The popping taxxons were included.

I recall at the time that fans were upset that 1) it didn’t have happy ending and 2) ended with a cliffhanger. I was in high school by the time the series ended (read them loyally each month) so I was old enough to appreciate that the ending matched the tone of the rest of the series.

Richard’s Animorphs Forum has the ebooks: https://animorphsforum.com/ebooks/

I understand that these are available with Applegate’s blessing since the series is no longer in print.

In the Xena fandom, we’ve been making the comparison between The Witcher and Xena: Warrior Princess for similar reasons. I’m surprised I haven’t seen an article written on it yet.

I finished watching season 1 last night and wrote out my own like/dislike list. I’ve played The Witcher 3 so I had some familiarity with the characters already.

Not being familiar with Ms. Wilson’s other roles, I had just thought her resting duck face was a Mrs. Coulter thing. She looks like her daemon.

“It’s also clear she doesn’t actually believe in, or trust, the work she’s doing. You know she’d never get the procedure.” 

There is a nice selection of Baby Yoda merch on Etsy. 

I appreciate the honesty. The movie doesn’t abolish the monarchy, but does try to address that monarchs can be genocidal despots. The conflict was caused by the colonial violence enacted by Elsa and Anna’s king grandpa, who we learn was the villain.

Frozen II spoilers below.

Well, the nice thing about art is we can have different interpretations. I saw the conflict as being resolved by reparations for the wrongs done to the Northuldra by the Anna/Elsa’s grandpa, who we learned was not a benevolent king but a colonist and a murderer. Anna was the hero of the movie…

I take it you haven’t seen Frozen II yet.

Or Parable of the Sower.
