Indeed. And, since Megabyte's forces' flying tanks were called armored binome carriers (ABCs), the second-season finale featured two good guy binomes delivering this exchange:
- "The ABCs have turned on us!"
- "Treacherous dogs!"
Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
This update took rather longer than I hoped for various reasons, and I've ultimately decided to split it into at least one more update (which will be hopefully in the first weeks of the new year). There is a *lot* more to add.
This update was...
It might harder than it used to be, but streaming megahits do exist.
There's just way more competition than there used to be and most Trek (the glory days included) would struggle to compete in the modern era because expectations have risen a lot, too.
I enjoyed that. Mrs Xmas has been watching since the beginning, but with the way things get cancelled these days, I didn't follow it closely. Been burnt too many times by shows that I liked, made a point to watch and was then left hanging.
Now I've got a whole season to catch up with!
Im relieved there were only 5 missions in std and a lot of episodes were filler to boot. So glad that series is done. I suspect sta will go only have 2 seasons.
Prodigy is the only one which was prematurely cancelled. Picard ended after three seasons of its own accord. And while Disco and Lower Decks had plans for sixth seasons, five seasons can be considered a full run in modern television making it inaccurate to call a show with five seasons...
So your argument is: A franchise that had not had a new entry on television in over a decade had more engagement not only from audiences but also critics than a series near the end of its run and an animated series that has less engagement, period?
LOL.
More often (not always) than not, a...
Don't care either way.
LOLNO.
For you.
I hope @Turtletrekker puts me on ignore after this effortposting and @Campe 100% ignores it, but here it comes.
First, let's use DSC as a metric:
DSC - S01 - 373 Reviews
DSC - S02 - 209 Reviews
DSC - S03 - 35 Reviews
DSC - S04 - 17 (!!) Reviews
DSC -...
I would say this is more a function of the limited choices people had at the time to watch. It was watch what the few channels offered, go to a theatre, or rent a film. And renting a film wasn't a thing when TOS was on the air.
We're past the time, where everyone in the office is watching a...
Anything to back this up? I don't necessarily disagree, I just wonder if there's anything concrete to support it.
I think the realities of streaming production basically assured that none of the new shows would ever attain TOS/TNG levels of cultural relevance - both those series thrived in...
Given that Paramount canceled Avatar's theatrical release and brought it directly to Paramount Plus, and Disney hasn't released a 2D animated film since 2011, I was considering the possibility that The Simpsons 2 might be released on Disney Plus instead of theatrically. However, Matt Groening is...
Look up Lincoln University in Oakland. They have a football program that people are calling the Bishop Sycamore of college football. They've gone 3-47 in 5 seasons, have no home games, do red eye travel, players don't get water or medical attention, they've had to cancel games -- sometimes the...
You and I weren't swayed by the trailers, which isn't the point.
The general audience avoided the movie and put Trek as a movie franchise on ice for a decade now, that's the point.
Not everything has to be about a personal financial stake.
I personally wanted the Kelvin Timeline to have a...
IIRC, since ABC cancelled the show after the second season, there was no American network overseeing the third, meaning they didn't have to worry about American Broadcast Standards and Practices. They only had to worry about Canadian policies, which are far more lenient with television than...
U.S. Box Office Predictor Game 2026
Basically, I am just cutting and pasting what @The Knappos did 2 years ago.... I am slowly working on my list.. and really still using this post as a draft. I probably missed a lot, and will continue to revise for a while.

This is a fun game for folks...
