Perestroika posted:I barely remember anything from that show despite watching most of it, but you better believe the theme song stuck with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx9qvcXFEyo I remember very little about the show myself, being pretty far out of the demographic at the time... but I've never heard that version of the theme. It's definitely catchier than the theme I recall from Fox Kids. Was it used outside of the US, or something?

The song is clearly referring to nuclear war. And Mazda's use of "Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um", which is about the lethality of Capoeira being one good thing that came out of slavery.

Last Chance posted:Yes and the same was true re: the effects for Star Trek: TNG too I believe. From what i've been able to find, shoot on film, edit on video was pretty standard, and was a major reason why the TNG HD Remaster was so expensive, and the lower-than-expected sales of that are why HD remasters of DS9 and Voyager are very unlikely to happen. That, and the latter two shows made extensive use of CGI effects that were only rendered for Standard Definition.

Mu Zeta posted:It's interesting that the Bajorans are such devoutly religious freaks but the shows don't really make fun of them. It's surprisingly nuanced and in fact we find out that their gods are pretty much real. I'd say it's kind of hit and miss on that point in the early seasons. Having watched "The Storyteller" a few weeks ago, it seems to skate by because the Dal'Rok is presumably not part of /mainline/ Bajoran Religion, but the depiction of the religion of the Bajoran village in that episode is of the "It's a scam, but it's a scam we can work with" variety.

Inescapable Duck posted:From reading random things about it, G1 transformers seems to be the longest running It isn't, actually. Transformers: Rescue Bots has the most episodes, and is the only Transformers series to have four full seasons. I'd probably have to go back and do some rewatches to be firm on it, but it's /probably/ my second favorite of the Post-Bay Transformers Series, primarily because of how weird it's willing to get, sometimes. It's also in the same setting as Transformers: Prime and Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), though the crossovers are character cameos, rather than intertwined plots.

Choco1980 posted:Random making of the Transformers derail worse, but in the case of these bots that turn into one embiggened voltron of a bot, what happens mentally? Is Bruticus a separate mind from the five combaticons? It depends on the continuity. The original series seemed to waver between "It's a new personality" and "It's the combined personality of all the individual robots." Robots in Disguise (215) seemed to go with "All the individual robots are in there, and can talk to each other, but still generally control their bodies, with whoever makes up the head as the de-facto leader."

Dr. Video Games 0081 posted:There were also cartoons of Ace Ventura and The Mask, at least the former of which is not an appropriate movie for the age bracket targeted by the cartoon, though I was in fact in that age bracket and also loved the movie at the time. I remember telling my mother that Jim Carrey didn't provide the voices on the cartoon adaptations, and she considered that an act of hubris on his part. There was also a two-part crossover episode between the two series. There was a Dumb and Dumber cartoon series as well, but I don't think that one got a crossover with either of the other two.

If they'd tested it almost anywhere else, their actual plan probably would have succeeded.

Mu Zeta posted:All the movie critics hated Starship Troopers too and none saw the satirical part. It's like they all forgot about Verhoeven making Robocop and Total Recall. Roger Ebert thought Verhoeven was bringing the authentic Heinlein vision to the screen. I admit, I disliked Starship Troopers until a few years ago, when someone told me to view it as an in-universe propaganda piece . A government-ordered made-for-consumption piece to sell a war that is going a lot worse than the movie claims, and has to reconcile and retroactively justify events that can't be covered up, instead of an accurate depiction of how things went. There are even commercial interruptions during the movie, dammit.

Sunswipe posted:I always saw Garak as asexual as a result of his upbringing and career. He'd been manipulated and manipulated others so much that there was no way he'd leave himself vulnerable to anyone. Well, there was Ziyal, Gul Dukat's teenage half-Bajoran daughter, that Garak winds up in a relationship with during the occupation season. It'll be while before my DS9 rewatch gets to that point. As I recall, the only close relationship that Garak has with any character in DS9 that /doesn't/ end badly is with Bashir.

Davros1 posted:The store I go to I pretty much have to use the self checkout if I want more half my stuff bagged. Otherwise the cashier's are all like, "Oh just leave that in the cart." In the case of the stores I go to, the baggers and cashiers are better and faster at scanning and bagging my stuff than I am, so I'll usually go through a line, because the self-check-out kiosks are generally filled with people who haven't had to develop that skill. I generally haven't had an issue with them. That said,I will use the pick-up-a-scanner-at-entrance, scan-and-bag-as-you-go, pay-at-kiosk-and-leave system that's in place at the Kroger I most often visit. Distributing the awkward bagging time during the awkward shopping time is less annoying than doing it all at once at the end.

Krispy Wafer posted:I read the book, but it's been a long time. I don't even recall Hammond dying or what happened to Malcolm. Did they cut corners? The movie seemed more about industrial sabotage than ineptitude. Ineptitude beyond you know, breeding raptors. Hammond is killed by the Compies when he stumbles off a trail. I believe he's the last death in the book. Malcolm presumably dies of the injuries recurved in the Rex attack. Muldoon survives with minimal injuries. When I read the book before the movie, I always envisioned Hammond as the Old Man of OCP from RoboCop.

Doctor Spaceman posted:You've also got words like "seize" where "sei-" ends up being pronounced something like "see-". I first encountered him on the latter seasons of Superfriends, so he was always "-side" to me, and didn't notice it written until years later. Was recently reading through Kirby's new Gods stuff, and the initial impression I got of Darkseid was that he kind of felt like a mid-tier super-villain, so when Orion and his sidekicks get back to the city apartment they're staying in and find him sitting on the couch, waiting for them , it felt kind of normal screwing-with-your-foe stuff.

One of my fondest memories of watching G.I. Joe as a kid is an epiosode where a few Joes are accidentally transported to a parallel universe where Cobnra has conquered the U.S., and one of the Joes (Stalker?) who is slowly going mad from bioengineered bug venom stumbles across the corpse of his counterpart in a foxhole, and screams: "Not-Alive!

Like a puppy with an Australian accent telling you all about black-tip reef sharks. I remember watching an episode where he was approaching some Cape wild buffalo. They started to get agitated, so he lay on the ground and started rolling towards them to confuse them . Also, I had no idea stingrays could get that big. For years, I'd assumed it was an unlucky encounter with something dinner-plate sized or so.

I think I remember origins for both of them, and then nothing else from that season. The only other thing think I remember from watching Super Friends as a child was an episode where Aquaman got turned into a giant shark with elephant legs and was attacking buildings. If that actually was an episode, I wish I knew which one it was.

Not only is there the whole Bill Cosby thing, it's arguably no longer even about what Bill Cosby would call the worst day of his life. Any autographical book for young children titled "The worst day of my life" without the plot element mentioned on the cover as an advisory was probably surpassed by some event in the author's life within months after the events that were described.

BioEnchanted posted:I didn't see many mirror universe episodes as I only watched TNG all the way through, but I looked it up and it seemed more interesting than I gave it credit for. I always just assumed it was "Evil bearded universe" because of the stereotype, but there's more to it than that - it's a for want of a nail situation. It all comes down to first contact. In OUR universe, first contact with a vulcan ship went reasonably well and an alliance was formed and they helped us get to space. In the mirror universe the original enterprise panicked and blew the vulcan ship out of the sky, triggering a war. A war that earth somehow won, probably because we are bigger bastards than the Vulcans, so Vulcan fell to Earth, got totally subjugated and that started us down a more warlike mindset. Then we kind of expanded our empire, it started bumping up against Klingon space and things got... complicated. I haven't yet watched any Trek past Enterprise, so I don't know if things have been revised again since then, but.... Star Trek: Enterprise's two-part Mirror Universe episode "In A Mirror, Darkly" opens with a version of the climactic First Contact scene from Star Trek: First Contact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXw6hC7hxBA I remember liking the episode, but haven't gone back to revisit it lately. It's part of Enterprise's final season, where they're doing a fair bit of "we know we're not getting another season, so let's just do this." The episodes do a fair bit of continuity tapping, including linking very strongly to the TOS episode "The Tholian Web." Voyager doesn't have any Mirror Universe episodes, but it has at least a couple episodes with alternate versions of Voyager through other viewpoints. My favorite would be the Warship Voyager from "Living Witness" a historical reconstruction based on the poor interaction a fledgling species had with the starship hundreds of years prior. The episode itself was middling, but seeing the general trend of "Many species Voyager encounters with wind up worse off afterwards" being taken to 11 was fun to watch.

It's not too difficult to imagine how terribly, horribly wrong that could have gone. Luckily, the children had PG-rated fears that they weren't more than marginally ashamed about. In the books, anyway.
