Undeniably true, and I'm sure the fact that the fan hate died down as TNG improved isn't a coincidence, but the initial hatred was basically because it wasn't TOS. Never mind that the movie series was in full swing at the time…

TNG was hated by a large chunk of Trekkies for the first two or three years. There were actual protests outside Paramount's studios. William Shatner did a great documentary called Chaos on the Bridge all about the troubled first couple of years of the show's production, though it concentrates on the behind the…

Of course, there's a whole bit in Generation Kill debunking the Serpentine thing, and IIRC it was one of the things they didn't embellish for the TV show…

Yeah, it was a whole plot point when she had been infected by the virus late in series 7, but she was so addicted to switching gender that it exacerbated the symptoms.

The female changeling literally changed between male and female forms on the show. Back and forth, back and forth.

How would you like it if someone called the US a British colony? Because 1: we were conquered rather than colonised, 2: our native population was also the target of a pogrom-like program, though we remained the majority population and 3: we also fought a war to be free from British control.

The real progress here is that we're letting a black guy get away with being a creepy sexual predator. Racism is over!

I've shown it to people who don't know Macross, and they were happy with all the explosions :D

And most of the middle of the most recent Macross TV show.

I got a really awesome VF-1S toy only a couple of weeks ago. I love that over 30 years later they're making updated and complicated toys, but the design is timeless.

FASA basically cut a deal with a company called 20th Century Imports, who had picked up distribution rights to a bunch of anime model kits, including ones from Macross, Dougram and Crusher Joe. TCI claimed they could license out the art and designs, but it seems they were less than truthful on that front, and that's…

FASA is long gone, BattleTech is owned by Topps (and Microsoft) these days, with the tabletop game being published by a small company called Catalyst Games Labs. They're actually in the middle of redesigning the Macross, Dougram and Crusher Joe mechs to be similar to the originals but less lawsuit friendly. (After…

Do You Remember Love managed it, but it massively changed the narrative so it was more of a brief synopsis of Macross with even more awesome dogfights than a real adaptation.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but it seems to me that when the giant that holds up the earth dies, we are screeewwwed.

As always, it's political when they don't agree with the message There's been overt political messages in Doctor Who since at least the Pertwee era, when the writers went out of their way to include social themes in the stories.

It doesn't work on wood…

I think people were complaining more about Billie Piper at the time, as she was best known for some incredibly awful pop music before Doctor Who.

Of course, Wonder Woman has been a man twice in the last 15 years - not that anyone who's complaining has ever read a fucking comic

I think they made that exact joke in Bloodshot Reborn!
