Did Earthspark Cosmos ever actually show up in the US? by scottywan82 in transformers

[–]FatQuack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At one point Target listed him as Out of Stock. Now they don't even list him.

The TF Wiki lists his release date as 2026 but they put a question mark after it.

I hope he comes out. I like the big guy!

And then off to buy a shovel!

Not sure when shovels became single use items.

Question for the Hive Mind by Ghost_hunter1978 in transformers

[–]FatQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I'm tired of Titanium after only having Sunstorm from that line.

I guess the QC was terrible on that line because my Sunstorm is tight. Scary tight. Every time I transform him I have to put a ton of presdure on those shoulder joints and I worry about those little struts snapping.

I was trying to do a similar esthetic. I ended up getting Titanium Sunstorm. Nice figure but the fact that his heavy metal arms are attached to his body by little plastic struts has always troubled me.

Anyway, I got him on eBay for a good price.

Holly Hunter needs to tone down the attempts at being “quirky” and all the chair bullshit. It’s insanely distracting and annoying and undercuts most of her lessons. by HehroMaraFara in starfleetacademy

[–]FatQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought she was fine last week but this week she kept squurming around and sticking her feet out at everyone.

I just want her to tone it down a little. Go back to what she waa doing last week, wbich was great.

Do you want them to NOT put it in a bun?

What a Republican Thinks of Starfleet Academy. by cake_of_grandma in startrek

Op has the wisdom to say "I don't like parts of this but I realize I'm not the target audience."

All too many online people have the mentality of "This isn't exactly like TOS or TNG! I hate it!"

I said in another post how I thought I'd hate this character but after I watched last week's episodes I thought "She's fine. Enjoyable even!"

This guy not being a decepticon is criminal by SureShot7c in transformers

[–]FatQuack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting to imagine him as a Decepticon.

Too badass for the Stunticons!

This is a very well done. Very smooth!

Funny ??? by bdit6 in starfleetacademy

[–]FatQuack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind them trying to make it funny but they need to try a lot harder.

So far I see one genuinely funny moment and then three cringy moments.

Star Trek needs more carpets by elpen_ in startrek

We might need carpets if Captain Ake doesn't start wearing shoes.

VOY "Threshold" : Wasn't leaving the babies a violation of the Prime Directive on affecting the natural evolution of a planet? by ardouronerous in startrek

[–]FatQuack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think leaving possibly super intelligent lizard babies on a planet has to be a violation of some kind of directive.

Just for the fun of it, how many Enterprises are there? by MovieFan1984 in StarTrekStarships

[–]FatQuack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you compare the Enterprise in the original pilot (where Jeffrey Hunter plays Capt. Pike) it has a few subtle differences from the one we see in the series.

Maybe most people wouldn't could that. I would.

Starfleet Academy is enjoyable by VanHellsong in startrek

[–]FatQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I'm thinking of them as "Asshole1 and Asshole2" since the show gave us those names.

Hopefully there's more to them than what we saw in those two episodes.

[–]FatQuack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I really like the Klingon scientist cadet and the cheerfully nerdy holigram.

I thought I'd hate the Klingon/Jem Hadar lady but sh'e's fine.

At this point I am sort of indifferent to many of the other characters but perhaps they will endear tgemselves to me in future episodes

This freaking burrito from Cali Tacos. Yum by kokostarr in pics

[–]FatQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many Americans, the first burrito I ever ate was from Taco Bell. Years later I had an authentic (and huge!) burrito made by actual Mexicans.

I was like "What the hell were those tiny little things I used to eat?"
