  1. The fact that racists cling to a franchise which has hundreds of different species working together yet if more than 1 black person in the franchise exists, it is mega harassment time. I wonder if Star Trek DS9 came out now instead of 1993 would Avery Bullock would be harassed as much as Boyega or Moses Ingram?
  2. Richard Moll also was the second voice of the Scorpion in Spider-man TAS after Martin Landau won his Oscar and became unavailable. Aron Kincaid also voiced Sky Lynx in Season 3 of G1 Transformers. I never understood why they recast Croc in the later seasons though.
  3. Trek vs Wars? Bigger nerds - hard to tell. I guess Trek but only because it has a "nerdier" vibe due to the whole concept being multiple races working together in an ideal future where a lot of poverty/disease is minimized whereas SW feels like the Wild West only spread out amongst various star systems. The Empire/first order is generally portrayed in a negative light unlike the federation imo. Also, SW being much more of a merchandising juggernaut and more kid friendly has made it more mainstream imo. Whether you go to Walmart, a Disney park, watch tv, there are more avenues in which you would be more likely to encounter SW. Trek is mostly a TV presence with novels/toys but not at the same level of SW. Does Paramount even do stuff like Trek Day or other hype events? Trek excels at longform storytelling so its better that it is mostly on TV. While I do think the ST franchise can do thrillers or pure action films well like Khan, Undiscovered Country, and even First Contact, it is hard to bring a thought provoking story in at 90-120 minutes and make boatloads of money. SW has action, romance, and plays better in the cinema. ST has ship battles, but not really well executed hand to hand combat and outside of the battleth no iconic close range weapons.
  4. For my older squiggas now that TMNT Cowabunga Collection is out (I havent got it) 1) How far did you get in the 1989 TMNT NES game without various cheats? 2) And now with save states/rewind in emulation? 1) In 1989 , the farthest I got was the 4th area - the airfield. 2) About 10-12 years ago, I was able to get to the technodrome on emulation using save states. The CC uses save state and rewind, but it would have been nice if there was some Invincibility cheat added lol.

  6. Of all the original Image titles that debuted in 1992, only Spawn and Savage Dragon are still being published. I have to give major props to Erik Larsen. He is still writing,drawing,and inking Savage Dragon 30 years later. For all the hubbub around Image, most of the artists only worked 1-2 years on art and then handed it off to other folks.
  7. For those of you who read comics as a kid or now, what series did you read? I started at 7 yrs old with Uncle Scrooge and G1 Transformers (1989-1991) I then started reading X-men vol.2 and Amazing Spider-man from 1991- 1999 (X) and 1991 - 1996 (SM)

  14. Knight Rider (1982) Bluray review. Picture: Really good. The remastering job is great. Other than some occasional noise or fuzziness in certain night scenes, it looks awesome for a 40 yr old show. 8/10 Sound: It is a mono track played through two speakers. The dialogue/music/effects are clear, but there is no oomph to any loud sounds like explosions/engines revving etc. ON my setup, a few episodes are 10% quieter than others but that could be due to my equipment. 6.5/10 Extras: No extras at all sadly. What's really bad is No subtitles. So if you're hard of hearing or English isnt your first language you're SOL. This set is 4 standard bluray cases in a thin outer box. Each season is in one case and is made up of 4 discs. (2 discs are on each disc hub) 0/10 Misc: A The double length (Knight of the Phoenix, Goliath, etc) episodes are presented as 95 minute movies with the exception of Knight of the Drones (S3 premiere) which is presented as 2 distinct episodes as it was in syndication. Content: The show as dated as it is, thrives due to 3 reasons imo. 1)The relationship between Mike and KITT 2) The vehicular stunts/KITT powers 3) the theme IMO Seasons 2 and 3 are the best, then 1, then 4. The main thrust of the series in helping "the little guy" being crushed by corrupt people sets it apart form Bond/Mission Impossible. S1 is a bit restrained and feels a bit more "country/1970's if that makes sense. Theme Composer Stu Phillips does the music for 1/2 the season before Don Peake comes into score the remainder of the show. His synthesizer/rock style is what I think of when I think about the show. S2 and S3 increase the cheese by introducing Garth/Goliath and more technologically advanced nemeses like drone cars, lasers, etc. The show found its groove then. S4 first half is decent, but its the second half that feels boring. Either the writers didnt care or the premise wore thin towards the end. S4 hasless turbo boosts and vehicle stunts and less of KITT's other "powers" too. Episode highlights: All the season openers: Knight of the Phoenix, Goliath, Knight of Drones, Knight of Juggernaut Trust Doesn't Rust - Mr Feeny meets his evil twin Optimus Prime aka KARR White Bird - Mike's old flame is in trouble Knightmares- Mike loses his memory and thinks he's Michael Long the cop. Goliath Returns - Mike's doppelganger and a previously shown villainess team up to kidnap a Swedish scientist KITT vs KARR - rematch and the best music score of the series Knight in Disgrace - Mike defects from the Foundation to work for a crimelord Dead of Knight - Mike is poisoned and must get the antidote Junkyard Dog - KITT is dropped into a pit of acid/toxic waste and must overcome his fear to face the enemy Sky Knight - Superfly hiacks a plane with Bonnie and Michelangelo on it and traps the passengers in a doomsday compound set to explode! Killer KITT - KITT is reprogrammed by a vengeful former FLAG employee to kill Mike Scent of Roses - Mike decides to leave the foundation after being seriously wounded. (Not the official last episode but many consider to be the true finale) Overall: 7.5/10
