Well my brother is a big transformers fan, so one of his buddies got him the Optimus Prime promo bucket as a birthday gift. It’s an over two foot long semi-trailer with a Optimus Prime cab. The entire trailer opens from the top for the popcorn.

It sits on his shelf with his other transformer collectables, so it is…

The Umbrella Academy’s true superpower, being a Netflix show to make it past 3 seasons. 

Bracing myself for those awkward conversations after watching a scene where a war veteran who has been fighting for generations slaps around a squad of fresh faced recruits, who aren’t really trying to kill her, in the street.

Coworker: “Hey Von, did you see where da girl elf beat up a bunch of soldiers! What a Mary…

I’m pretty sure that was season 4. This season, #5, it was shuttered.

So far this season seems to be leaning into the whimsy and wonder. Not complaining. 

I think this is why the creatives keep trying to lean into prequals with this franchise. At some point in the timeline, the answer to every issue is to teleport it or replicate an answer. 

A couple of quick lines in episode one stated the spore drive network or something was being dismantled, making Discovery the only such ship of it’s kind. I guess this is how the Federation tries to be space eco friendly and have its cake too. 

N0t sure if you are joking, but she is the only human in the trailer in clothes instead of rags. As an homage (and hinted in the first film), she [REDACTED]

Still no luck with a refresh, but thanks for tip. At lease shrinking the page means the huge ad banner at the top doesn’t force me to scroll up and down see both the picture and the text. Don’t worry, overlords, I can see the ads, it just means I can read everything like a proper webpage and not like a used car ad. 

What browser are you using because that doesn’t happen with my chrome. It just makes the slide page get smaller. 

A 26-page slide show?!? Bravo, but no thank you. 

LOL! I remember going to con panel filled with authors who wrote media tie in fiction. And the number one question from every other audience member was, “How do you feel about X franchise after they did that thing with the Y character you created?”

15 slides? Nope. Heck, I’m noping on 10 slides.

Bab 5 didn’t know if they would get a fifth season, they moved all the plot forward to the fourth season. When the fifth got greenlit, MJS said, “Well I have all this aftermath stuff I never planned to use” that became the fifth season.

That’s planning.

When I did an amateur geeky podcast almost a decade ago, we saw this coming and discussed. I think we can now all admit the glory days of streaming was when Netflix had all the licenses cheap and also DVDs to fill in the gaps. 

Feige explains that one still resonates with fans because it’s fast-paced, exciting, and “relatively grounded,” for a Marvel movie. And, apparently, this is more of the same.

I am sad but I’d rather the show go out on top than run itself into the ground. Five years is a good run. 

The “they” you speak of was a different company at a different time with a different economic model. And Enterprise already broke the mold on that with four seasons, ended in 2005. Which was 19 years ago. 

Game guides, that seems almost retro at this point. 

Wut? So comments are getting closed on io9, or may soon be?
