Honestly, I think all the issues with the NX-01 would have been dealt with by painting it white with black around the edges, like the space shuttle. I thought the interior was appropriately realistic / practical and can forgive it looking more advanced than a much lower budget show made 40 years previously but the

Just caught sight of your profile picture and am now having hilarious visions of how that Germany Brazil game could have been different

Would probably be interesting for Patrick Stewart to have played him, especially given how many times he's played Macbeth over the years

Such a shame because it's such a great episode. I remember the animation in The Edge being excellent though

I used to imagine what it would look like if they did this as a live-action movie and concluded that it would be utterly terrible but two things have changed my mind recently:

I was very glad the bike disappeared fairly swiftly. Not only unrealistic (how do they have the knowledge of engine parts pre-internet to build a bike?! Unless they just found one and gave it a new shell) but also felt pretty superfluous given that all the characters can glide. A bit like when you can buy toys of

When I found out that David Beckham named his first son Brooklyn part of me always hoped there was a Gargoyles connection. I was quite young at the time

I happily bow to your superior Batman knowledge, almost everything I know comes from BTAS

I was bought a CD of the Batman 1989 soundtrack for a birthday as a kid. I was super excited until I realised it was the Prince album.

Also the whole arc for Two-Face from Dark Knight comes from The Long Halloween which wasn't published until about 1997 so they didn't have as much to draw on for the character as the Nolans

Although, as we all know, Whore Island is actually a penninsula

I'm a third of the way through the fifth book and you're saying that nowhere in the next 600 pages is that question even remotely answered?!

As a kid the first episode I saw was awakening part 3 so when I saw that I just thought "ooh it's an evil gargoyle of some sort"

"This is Xanatos, my servant"

The world tour bit put me off enormously as a kid. An episode would start, 'previously on gargoyles', all good then you'd see the mist and the water and "Christ are they still on that f*cking boat?!" (I was a profane child). Just felt like the Simpsons spin-off showcase

Well with the DS9 reviews there was still a healthily strong community even by the end so hopefully this will continue like that. DS9 benefited from being a really deep show that invites discussion and this is the same

He's gonna get creamed!

The whole sequence with the weird sisters talking about who betrayed who and what does death solve was mind blowing as a kid, really showed how thought out and in-depth the show was

Xanatos was brilliant because he was the antithesis of the henchman-executing Bond villain we were all used to. He always saw the upside in every situation and manipulated it to suit his ends. Plus he's charming as hell

Agreed except that DS9 isn't Timothy Dalton, it's Daniel Craig. Both were "gritty and realistic" but Craig's films were/are much much better than Daltons as DS9 is much much better than everything
