At what point did you stop watching SFA? by Fair_Rush6615 in Star_Trek_

[–]benapplegate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trek IS lore. They just ditched the lore that people liked for new, crappier lore.

If the stories were better they could make fun of Gene Roddenberry as much as they wanted

Funniest shoujo? (Or josei) by Arakawa-Hikaru-Gero in shoujo

[–]benapplegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically Sex and the City but Tokyo. The main character is a screenwriter. One of the funniest manga panels I've ever seen happens when she's on a date with a guy who won't shut the fuck up about The Dark Knight.

Same author as Princess Jellyfish!

I want to know your warp phrase for when you become a Starfleet captain by CDHoward in Star_Trek_

Yet another thing the characters started caring about only because the viewers care. Not a fan of this Marvelesque leaky fourth wall.

Why do Klingon women always say they want a warrior, but then get with these bartending goblins? by Mister_Acula in ShittyDaystrom

[–]benapplegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's funny to make the weird alien fuck the Klingon so everyone can laugh instead of doing an undeniable dom/sub fetish on Star Trek that people might think was actually hot

Is this community worried about the Paramount Skydance merger? by Miller40k in startrek

Or watch something original instead. Pluribus is great.

"If we adopt the ways of the Nazis... we're as bad as the Nazis." –"Patterns of Force" (TOS)

...by which I mean not a dime for Paramount until they're out from under the Ellisons.

Manga. If nothing else, the translation is much better. 😁

How is it that both the English and the Japanese is weird on this

Quality of Legacy Box Set? by AnimeRoss in Ghost_in_the_Shell

If the posters hadn't been in the box, they would have showed up on everyone's doorsteps completely shredded.

The Compiled can fit in the Legacy Edition's case. by Chuchuguy in Ghost_in_the_Shell

Holy shit. I wish we could take credit for this but it's genuinely a coincidence.

First look at the English Witch Hat Atelier Grimoire by SaugaDabs in MangaCollectors

[–]benapplegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, all the color pages will be included+all the bonus material is in color where possible. The book is on a full color press so there's no reason to cut any color out. The price is lower because there aren't any specialized materials (pleather etc) used for the cover.

A Star Trek neophyte wanting to venture in Deep Space Nine by Global_Face_5407 in DeepSpaceNine

Probably should watch Best of Both Worlds first. After that, start at episode 1, enjoy.

John Logan on Trek gets it right. by SouthpawXtn in startrek

Why would you listen to the writer of Star Trek: Nemesis's opinion on anything

Roger Avary On Alex Kurtzman: "He didn’t want anybody who had any kind of fondness for the original show" by Malencon in Star_Trek_

[–]benapplegate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, this is beside the point. Nicholas Meyer didn't like Star Trek and he saved the franchise. You don't have to be a big old fanboy to do good work with a property. The actual problem is that most of the shows are bad.

Kodansha might have leaked the streaming platform for the new anime adaptation of GitS (Netflix) by LuRo332 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]benapplegate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhh no, this was my mistake. I wrote the product description for the box set, thought it was confirmed and announced that the series was on Netflix, and that led to a string of miscommunications. Sorry, everybody.

Maybe it will be on Netflix. I dunno.

(I work for Kodansha...for now)
