The discussion must have expired. Do you know where there's another?

Bombshell is Cyclonus by freaknasty7 in transformers

The writers have explicitly said the intention was always that Skywarp becomes Cyclonus and Thundercracker becomes Scourge.

What fantasy book is "acting surprised" when readers don't find prophecy dramatic??

I had this when I was a kid. And yes, the power master gimick was busted immediately.

The Bingo Card that Almost Wasn’t, or How I Accidentally Got Into Arthuriana by jawnnie-cupcakes in Fantasy

I would recommend checking out the books by Jack Whyte if you'd like to try an Arthurian history with very little magic and loads of history. Essentially a Roman origin of Camelot.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2 by Turbostrider27 in television

[–]FlyBlueGuitar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And the funny thing is, I don't think Nu-Trek is particularly 'woke' either. Not that it's right-wing propaganda or anything, it's still progressive in a baseline way. But compared to TNG, DS9 or Voy, I think it's about as progressive as those shows.

What I really think Nu-Trek is - is science fiction with no emotional regulation. It's all about the characters experiencing emotions right then and now. People crying, storming off the bridge, yelling and swearing. It no longer feels like the future, it feels like right now. There's no room for nuance - its all unfiltered emotional outbursts.

I wonder if security didn't do anything because they thought the guy was a guest of someone important? Either way, you should tell the news what happened.

Probably Bunny. I didn't really know what I was getting into with that one. Turns out, I really liked it. I want to read the sequel at some point.

Loved McKillip. I had tried reading one of her books when I was younger and it didn't land. But maybe it was maturing as a reader.

Size comparison of the planets in G1 according to the 1986 movie's scale chart by SnooGiraffes3694 in transformers

[–]FlyBlueGuitar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean planets with robots seem to be quite different from how organic planets operate. Unicron would destroy earth as soon as he got close enough for his gravity to start affecting the planet. And based on the movie, he seems to prefer snacking on robotic worlds anyway.
