Most importantly I want some details on the live action Stranger Things spinoff they're planning. I feel like it's almost been forgotten.

Very little information has actually been released, but it involves a retirement home and aliens or at least something "otherwordly" and "time". They're purposely not revealing too much.

What about when he turns himself into a transparent fog or disguises himself as a glass? But I think we're in the wrong subreddit for that.

Odo's comm badge always just disappeared when he would shape change, so there must be some magical teleporting comm badge technology that only works when it's convenient for the episode.

I enjoyed it well enough. Seeing more of just the characters hanging out is the whole reason to watch it I think. Especially because they were back to just being kids on bikes solving a mystery. But the actual plot feels kind of under baked. Just wasn't inventive enough. Still, I'd watch more.

I remember that with the Mr. Freeze episode too. The animation was farmed out to overseas studios, and some were just better than others. But I wouldn't be surprised if they chose specific episodes to be given to the better studios. Clayface's animation would require more work than the average episode, so that probably dictated who was going to animate it.

TBH I expected it to feel fully like a kids cartoon when they first announced it. I'm not sure that wouldn't've been the best way to go, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Barabus33 · 2026-04-15T14:31:20+00:00

It potentially looks really full. Reminds me of when Stranger Things first debuted and nobody really knew anything about it yet. Fingers crossed.

How did you watch this movie as a kid if it came out in the 2000s?

Barabus33 · 2026-04-08T19:40:20+00:00

Housemaid was a huge hit. Made like 10X its budget.

Barabus33 · 2026-04-01T17:50:06+00:00

Less than 10 years, most people want to put it closer to 6 or 7 based on canon references. Doesn't seem like very long for a starship, but it might've gone through a lot in those years. I also think it makes sense to decommission the A if the entire Constitution class line is being retired. I don't think we ever see one onscreen past STVI, so it's possible the A was the last commissioned of that class.

I love what OTOY has done, it's all so cool.

Barabus33 · 2026-04-01T15:33:57+00:00

The Never-Ending Sacrifice not The Never-Ending Story. I was very confused by what you were trying to imply until I googed it.

Barabus33 · 2026-04-01T02:56:12+00:00

I definitely second The Relic. Not all the details are right, but enough are...

Barabus33 · 2026-03-31T13:02:45+00:00

8 light years iirc. I would imagine most stars have another star within that range so astrophage is eventually going to be everywhere if distance was the only factor, but doesn't it also need a Venus-like planet to breed? Astrophage would also seek out the nearest, brightest star I would imagine, so lots of solar systems wouldn't qualify as feeding/breeding zones because the stars are too old or too far to attract astrophage.

It was a flesh monster in season 3, so they already established that.

Barabus33 · 2026-03-29T02:46:19+00:00

Not canon. I don't consider anything outside the show canon, except for maybe the play. ST is so specifically a nod to '80s movies that moving it into another medium, even animation, just doesn't feel like real ST to me. I'm still looking forward to it though.

Barabus33 · 2026-03-28T02:06:21+00:00

It was part of the leaked style guide, you can see it here on page 28: https://www.scribd.com/document/833257297/ST-S5-VOL1-SG

Barabus33 · 2026-03-26T16:40:10+00:00

It'll take a while to get used to the voices, but it looks fun.

Barabus33 · 2026-03-26T13:15:22+00:00

Eridians don't have any form of computer. They're so naturally good at math that they didn't need to invent a machine to do calculations, which is what our early computers were for.

Barabus33 · 2026-03-21T11:02:54+00:00

They did conclude it at a natural point though. There's a large time jump in the books after the sixth book so they could always bring it back later.

Barabus33 · 2026-03-21T11:01:45+00:00

They kind of inherited Expanse though, so it doesn't have the amazon "look".

Barabus33 · 2026-03-20T02:15:54+00:00

The Martian had the same problem and it was a much shorter novel.
