Re: Let's talk about the Recent(past year or so) WH40K fluff updates. Spoilers all
EDIT: Yes, I know Astartes can't breed/are likely rendered infertile. I'm curious, is this a result of the processes in creating the Astartes shriveling up the genitals into California raisins? Or is it that the act of sex would pulverize the pelvis of the female partner and the Astrate's "rel...

Re: Starfleet ships should have media officers
Problem with this idea is OpSec, Starfleet does have a habit of withholding information...Cor Caroli V, The Briar Patch, the quarterly coup attempt...

Re: Maximum range of turbolasers (Last Jedi spoilers)
It's just a blindingly stupid thing to put in the movie. Either the writers know nothing of how space works or they think we don't. It's one of those things where you wonder how it got through animation without SOMEone saying it was stupid. I can assure you, the art/tech people have no say in the m...

Re: Star Trek: Discovery
I'm looking forward to the Discovery writers completely ignoring the differences between their klingons and TOS klingons. Despite only 10 years in-universe separating them. Apparently it's a lost house in hibernation for 200 years I'm more interested in them ignoring the differences in the uniforms...

Re: The Orville
It's not supposed to be a 'parody'
MacFarlane is a TNG fan NERD, this is more of a straight remake of TNG.
Don't go into it thinking Spaceballs, The Orville is to TNG what 2009 was to TOS
Fox is overselling the comedy, because that's what MacFarlane is known for

I can't cite my source because this was a long time ago, but I remember there was a statement that the events depicted in battlefront aren't canon, but the appearances are.

Re: New star trek discovery info at SDCC
As a hard reset, I can get behind Discovery. A solidly new continuity and all the creative directions make sense and can be valued in their own merit. It's the insistence by CBS that this is in continuity with preexisting Trek that draws frustrated disappointment Sure Prime continuity has it's share...

Re: Stargate Origins... a prequel series - wait, what?!
In SG1 it was mentioned that the Russians confiscated the Giza DHD from the Nazi's
Maybe the story would be a race to beat the Nazi's to uncovering the secrets of the "doorway to heaven"
perhaps also establish a European gate into the lore (to explain the post Giza Rebellion activity.)
