    The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

    They're supposed to do another one next season. It does serve as a sort of torch-passing as Isis will have more new episodes. I dunno, but clearly 1970s tape recorders didn't have Airplane Mode. Looked up. Since they're driving around Southern California, maybe the misfortune that...

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    ...make the show work. Brought back Tennant and then RTD. Not to mention Donna. They seemed to have a good budget. The show just didn't get the ratings. Lot of damage was done by Chibnall. RTD wasn't on his game quit as much as he was the first time around. I think people were just burned out...

    How does subspace communication move messages without warping space?

    I specifically named a book. Very well look for a PDF, free download called 'The Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology'. Read it. When it was written 'Star Trek the Next Generation', wasn't even a dream. Then I referred to 'Star Trek Strange New Worlds'... You may not like it, but I do know...

    News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

    ...and 90’s didn’t really work as well in the 00’s. It was just starting to get its stride when Manny Coto took over, but by that point the ratings had already sealed its fate. So wish it had gotten a 5th season. I really think Coto would have had it go out with a bang instead of that...

    News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

    ...The CEO of CBS wasn't a Trek/Sci-Fi fan and pretty much indicated that it was stupid waste of money anyway, so he cut it. The fact that the ratings were dropping off was just the excuse that was used. All the Trek shows ratings dropped off as the seasons progressed, so that wasn't anything...

    New Classic Who Blu-Ray Sets (2021 edition)

    Great question. If they took the time to correct the framerate to PAL, as well as correcting the audio pitch... It's the same problem for some US shows bought in region 2 (e.g. ALF's German release was uncut but often had sped-up video and sound because a setting wasn't enabled during some of...

    Blake's 7 on Blu-ray!

    It's true that 41% of the cast and crew of John Wayne's epic Genghis Khan turkey The Conqueror developed cancer after filming downwind of a nuclear test site, including Wayne, Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorehead, John Hoyt, and Lee Van Cleef. It's unproven whether the filming site was the cause...

    The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

    Wow, a team up. I either didn't know or forgot. They probably should have done this at the start of the season to boost each other's ratings. This is the best thing in the series so far. :rommie: I wonder if that's a real thing. I was afraid for a second that this was going to become a...

    "Severed Dreams" (B5 S3E10) Be forewarned. I do NOT shy away from having the opinions that I have. I don't mince words about where I stand. This felt like quite the journey!

    Blake's 7 on Blu-ray!

    My surprise applies to any power plant, not just a nuclear one, I had just always assumed that any power plant would only let in people who absolutely needed to be there for the place to run, and anybody else wouldn't be allowed anywhere near it at all. Honestly, I'd probably be more shocked by...

    Was Jack Layton still alive then? As I recall, 2011 was the year he could have become Prime Minister, if enough people hadn't split the left vote.

    News? Stories from Dubious Sources

    If the new management decides to get hands-on, or if ratings are bad, this is a possibility. I'd be happier if the show turns out to be both good and successful, but we'll have to wait and see. They will not do that Archer series. I can't imagine the people currently running Trek will want to...

    well that's chance we'll be back to the polls before years end if the govt can't it's budget through. the tories are being typical in demanding the govt do what they say and if they don't they'll vote against it. the bloc is being the bloc and has a list of demands (raise the pension age...

    "Future's End": Starling's villainy?

    When you're talking future people who will potentially exist or not exist though is that really the case? When Gillian Taylor was taken to the 23rd century, any potential future descendants would no longer be born, which is one major change, but what about the butterfly changes -- she doesn't...

    The Delta Flyers now covering DS9

    ...even Garrett toned down his usual tone-deaf humor. While it didn't make me want to revisit "The Muse" - all of them give it extremely low ratings, of course, I really enjoyed the episode more than I've enjoyed the show in a while. Perhaps because the episode was so bad there was so much to...

    Re-Watching DS9

    ----- Typed up Last Night ----- My food of choice to watch these episodes with is Jalapeno Pizza. I added the jalapenos myself. I looked for the hottest ones I could find. I bought margarita mix as well. I wish I could have it with a drink, but I ran out of time to go to the liquor store...

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    For all its flaws, TND is more relevant now than it was almost 30 years ago. The idea of a media mogul using a literal war to achieve world ratings domination isn't so far-fetched anymore. At the time, Rupert Murdoch was mostly known for newspapers, and Fox News was still brand-new. More...

    What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

    I think it involves air conditioning. But what's interesting about the ad is that it features a family with three kids. And I saw one with four yesterday. It used to be that if you saw an ad with a family that had over two kids, it was probably for a minivan. Maybe the ad companies have...

    Spoilers "Regeneration" did not deserve the hate.

    Before watching the classic Next Generation story "Q Who", where Q convinces the Enterprise crew they need him by sending them into a sector of space where they get a good ol' fashioned Borg-style asskicking, I actually decided to skip a few episodes of Enterprise onto the relevant episode...

    Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

    Anyone find PG-rated villains on network TV shows kind of funny? Especially these hardened criminals who have been in the life for as long as they know, served time in prison, murdered people. Then when they get mad they say things like "BS" and "crap." And then on the flip side, these shows...
