How has it taken two and a half seasons of filming in Toronto to get a guest star that was on Degrassi?

Given the idea of a generation ship, it would have to be traveling at sublight speeds. It couldn't have gotten that far, and we were told that Earth has plenty of dilithium. They'd have an easier time mounting a rescue mission than most planets.

In my mind, it's closer to going from UNIVAC to an MacBook as opposed to a monk illuminating a manuscript suddenly having to us an iPad.

We've seen female Conn officers (notably, Ro) and Ops (Ensign Perim from Insurrection), if they've had a pairing where both were women prior to Detmer and Owo, I can't think of it.

The suffix likely means it's not the exact same ship that Michael referenced.

I think what they were going for was an evolution of the Intrepid-class. Owo (I think) made a comment about one of the other ships looking like it was Constitution-class. Which now makes me hope we see the 32nd Century Enterprise. I liked Admiral Vance a lot, but it kind of surprised me that no one suggested that Disco's first assignment be to start repairing the subspace relays, so that the Federation planets could talk to each other again.

I guess I can finally get rid of my PS3. This is for Xbox One X and PS4, but with extra enhancements for Series X and PS5.

The crew threw a party in S1 where they played a Wyclef Jean song, and Reno mentioned having a dream where she was playing drums for Prince. For practical purposes, they're either going to be stuck with things they can get cheaply (likely from the CBS/Paramount archive, as Funny Face is) or public domain, as the majority of Buster Keaton's films are.

We have 2000 year-old Roman aqueducts that are still well-preserved.

I love Leslie and how joyous she is doing this, but I've always thought that this is such a silly idea for a game show.

Disco always had a post-show. They've only rebranded it.

It was "Tal" in the closed captions. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if we do end up seeing the current Dax host. If you do the math, the symbiont was at least 300 years old when it was Joined to Jadzia.

I'm embarrassed that I remember this, but it was from a multi-episode story where Scrooge and Glomgold were competing to see who was the richest duck in the work, which required that they send their money somewhere to be weighed. Scrooge disguised his in shipments of McDuck-brand ice cream, but the ships were attacked by a sea monster that was actually a submarine belonging to Glomgold. ...I'm a doctor.

The VR game I Expect You To Die, like MSG3, has a great theme that is both a great parody of Bond themes and better than a lot of actual Bond themes.

I didn't realize until literally yesterday that Sam Raimi is the one directing Doctor Strange. I am SO there for that.

Continuing to demonstrate that she doesn't know how the Streisand Effect works, Addison Cain went after Lindsay Ellis after her video on the Omegaverse lawsuit. I'm not even particularly a fan of Linsday, but, come on. Also: "Is there NO manager she won't complain to?" Hee!

It's the kind of show that lives or dies based on the audience, (bit like Hairspray in that regard, although the latter has better music). I have no idea how that translates to a movie theater or living room. This looks like it survived the transition to movie musical better than Hairspray did, but I've been fooled by trailers before.

Good. Apart from Pike, she was my favorite new edition from the last season. Apart from Odo, she's the most competent security chief Star Trek has ever had. Kal and Os'ir were Coridanites, which is a VERY deep pull for a couple of reasons. In "Journey to Babel," they were pushing for Federation membership for Coridan to keep their abundant dilithium out of the hands of the Orions. It makes perfect sense that they'd be down on their luck in a post-Burn future.

As the trailer to The Prom reminded me, James Corden. Even if his "awww, shucks, I'm just a goofball" persona wasn't just an act, I'd still dislike him, but knowing how nasty he is off-camera just pushes it into utter loathing.

This looks joyous enough for me to override my general aversion to James Corden. Meryl's basically play Patti Lupone, right?

I'm honestly surprised people handwave it being worth it for the music and animation. "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" is based on a racist song from the 1830s which also influenced minstrel shows. I can maybe, MAYBE buy the argument that in an academic setting, it makes sense to discuss both its place in history (modern people clamoring for its release always overlook that the NAACP and other prominent Black leaders of the day had problems with it then, resulting in protests at screenings) and the combo of live action and animation (even though both Disney and other studios had already done that). For the general public? Nope, leave it buried.

It got released on home video in Europe, so it's really only in the US that it's been locked down for the entire time. I just remember being on a high school trip to the UK in the mid-90s and someone who had a PAL VCR back home buying a copy....which I find very uncomfortable in retrospect.

I have never understood why Disney fans don't seem to understand that the company might have very good reasons for making sure endorse parts of their movies and make sure that people consider the content and the context in which it was presented, part of film history or no. And that's before we get to Song of the South, which is the hill people want to die on despite my memories of its final re-release being that it was FANTASTICALLY boring. But Warner Bros does the same thing. The wartime propaganda Looney Tunes are rarely seen on TV, and even the DVD releases carry content warnings. And there's one that was on a few releases that was since withdrawn. They also have a collection called the Censored Eleven that haven't been seen for over 50 years, because they're just in such poor taste. There was talk of a DVD release about ten years ago, but that never ended up happening.

The Guardians had has a pretty visible run starting with Annihilation in 2005, which heavily featured Quill, Gamora, and Drax, and got their own on-going in 2008, which had the entire lineup from the movies with a few additional characters. I REALLY hope they adapt Annihilation at some point. That was a great story, and they could do it now with the FF characters back home. That said, I would love, love, love if they did some kind of movie or TV project with some of the forgotten characters. I mean, of all the 90s Avengers, Sersi was one I never expected to see in live action, but here we are.

Finally caught up. I think my favorite part of "The Trickening" was the theme song was pulled so heavily from Thurl Ravenscroft and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" from the Haunted Mansion. Angones et al aren't just fans of Disney Afternoon, they're Disney fans in general.
