...a 1992 SNL political special, presenting line graphs that showed how SNL's early popularity ascending at the same time that Ford's approval ratings were descending, suggesting that Chevy's portrayal of Ford as a bumbling fool might be responsible. In fact, I think it was the intro to the...

That's how the publishing industry has worked for generations. The idea is that the publisher takes the hit if a book doesn't sell, thereby encouraging retailers to stock the book in the first place. As I understand it, this started as a "temporary" incentive plan that long ago became...

Thanks for the clarifications! It's been so long since I last watched DBZ I totally misremembered the complicated dubbing history.

...of the early censorship comes from, like Hell being called HIFL and referring to death as being sent to "the next dimension" Due to poor ratings and Saban scaling down their operations it was cancelled and Funimation switched to dubbing it in house, which lead to casting most of the western...

I believe Torres was exaggerating the number of non-humans. People rarely state the exact number when discussing any population, and she was emotional about being an "outsider." If Voyager's crew compliment is only around 150, then Torres had to be exaggerating, because otherwise it would mean...

The article states that its author used to be a molecular biologist. However, I would suspect that AI was used to help write it, judging by its sloppy style. There is no doubt that special relativistic effects occur, and that if an atomic clock could survive the acceleration, it would record the...

...campier attributes and stunt casting in attempts to gain viewers. (The Ardala stories got increasingly daft as well.) The show was decent in ratings, but not enough given the production cost so retooling was made... a retooling Gil definitely dived into as he often complained about how silly...

...passed :( and he knew the guts of the show more than his replacements had and the show needs a deft creative handling. Likely declining ratings. Most reboots rarely recapture the lightning in the bottle. Even shows with cast and production team changes at its core, effectively being...

Most species go extinct for one reason or another. I see no reason why homo sapiens sapiens would be an exception. Spreading ourselves across the cosmos might help, but I wonder if we should also try uplifting other species as backups. It would be interfering in their development, but we've been...

Kind of like the third season of TOS. I would never rate the third season of TOS my favorite season. However I would rewatch it over TNG seasons 1 and 2, 6 snd 7; DS9 seasons 1 and 2, the entirety of VOY. ENT seasons 1 and 2; ST: D Seasons 3-5; and PIC seasons 1 and 2.

Declining birth rates won't be our undoing, but declining living standards and wealth inequality don't help either

Some of it depends on birth rate. If it turns out that advenced civs just gradually give up on reproduction we’re fucked , very long term.

There was a factory game on Steam that I tried which involved turning a solar system into a Dyson sphere by building robot factories that could build copies of themselves or the robot factories to create the robots needed for the necessary mining processing and construction tasks. It was an...

Friday night belongs to Danny Reagan. I wonder when they would actually consider ending NCIS. I assume Sean Murray is going to stay until the end. There doesn't seem to be any end in sight for Grey's Anatomy or SVU.

O'Brien: "I was in prison for 20 years, in my mind. Prison makes you do horrible things. Things I wouldn't do anywhere else." Keiko: "What kinds of things?" O'Brien: "What rating is this show?" Keilo: "TV-PG." O'Brien: "Then I can't talk about it. But, if this were on HBO, then let me...

They weren't streaming shows, for one thing. And Stargate SG-1 actually had only five seasons on Showtime and five on Syfy. Five seasons was generally a maximum run for basic-cable shows -- no Sci-Fi Channel/Syfy show ever had more than five seasons on the network itself -- so SG-1 kind of got a...

Hi, first time thread maker, wasn't sure how this works. I'm rewatching various TNG eps, just for fun and to touch base with the ol' fav show. I didn't see where to post stuff like that. There are rewatch threads for the series in order, usually mainly one person's experience with it I think...

I don't think Outcast was talking about SNW, they were talking about the new film by Goldstein and Daley

...him). Paramount wants to get away from Kirk, Spock, and McCoy for a while. (They're rebooting the feature film franchise with a new ship and a new crew that has no connection whatsoever to the rest of the franchise.) McCoy and Sulu's primary function is to juice the series finale's ratings.

It's been so long since I read, I don't think I could rate them.
