No Stupid Questions

Community (2009): Annie was the (2nd) ass crack bandit and Abed took Troys cracking with a shocking amount of grace.

The third season of Forever Knight completely ruined the show.

Picard<<Sisko

Stargate needed to develop a way to allow Earth to know about the galaxy. It might have even been an interesting way to spin off the show.

There is no way that the US government could hide the SG teams' budget over years and that the US military wouldn't have deployed off world technology during GWAT. Fuck, imagine the US Military deploying Zat guns to Iraq.

I'm still salty that the season 2 ending cliffhanger of The Sarah Connor Chronicles never got to go anywhere.

I wished that the Lost Boys got their spin-off the Lost Girls, would've liked to have seen how that materialized. Unfortunately with Joel Schumacher dead, we'll never get to see that. Instead, we got awful direct-to-dvd sequels.

Well, it was revived and I refuse to watch the revival, but for Tiny Toons Adventures ( revived as something like Toons Looniversity or something like that IIRC ), I rather strongly dislike how they removed Elmira and made Babs and Buster siblings.

I'm especially not for the Babs and Buster change because if that's cannon to the original show by proxy of the reboot, that would make any moment where Babs and Buster have feelings for each other or the maybe episode or 2 where they go on a date have an extremely incestuous vibe.

As for Elmira, I love how over the top she is as an example of how not to be a pet owner. Or how not to babysit in the case of the one episode where she babysits for a no name, single episode family. Or how in the Spring Break special she gets either government or military help to capture Buster by giving them Harrison Ford, IIRC, with him trapped in a cage.

Maybe a Quake movie can succeed where the Doom movies failed. Make Alan Ritchson Ranger and put Nine Inch Nails on the soundtrack. I could see Guillermo del Toro having a field day with it.

supernatural fandom, wierd is a understatement after season 5. ive seen some of the cons they did, and if the ACTORS are even wierded out by the fans, they need help.

the angel wasnt suppose to have wierd relationship with the leads, like intimate one, but the fans got the writers to do it eventually.

That Blake's 7 fandom was materially better before the show aired in the States. They had gone through the painful sorting out of characters and characteristics and relationships and were developing these really interesting themes of psychological trauma and manipulation that they were beginning to explore - it was really interesting and the themes were fascinating. Them the show aired in the States, they went wild over Avon and all the stories and themes starting revolving around him. I don't mind him as a character; I do mind his character taking over all of fandom. It's sort of like if all the Harry Potter stories suddenly and inexplicably became Ron-centric; it's not necessarily wrong, but it's weird and people who liked other characters got left out in the cold, and some of us still resent that.

As an aside, when Blake's 7 fandom split up, that too was fascinating. As was usual in those days, there was a pro-slash contingent and an anti-slash contingent. When B7 fandom split up, all of the pro-slash fans went into Robin of Sherwood fandom, and all the anti-slash fans went into The Professionals fandom. The problem being that RoS was almost exclusively gen and Pros was almost exclusively slash. It was very weird.

What else? That the second season of War of the Worlds should've been an entirely different series: the people who loved season 1 were never going to like season 2; and people who had tuned in and disliked the series during season 1 weren't going to Even try season 2.

That Krycek became such a big character on The X-Files due to one woman who saw his potential and kept talking about it to her friends, many of whom were popular/prolific fannish authors and artists. She convinced some of them (there was incredulity and resistance at first) but it gathered steam, Chris Carter was flummoxed but rolled with it, and here we are.

That the main follow-on series for Highlander: the Series should've been The Methos Chronicles and that one's not even up for debate.

That the final episode of Miami Vice is a masterpiece, particularly with the echoes and parallels to the first episode - and that the show itself took a major downturn the moment they decided to kill off their comic relief characters. That having God in the final episode of Quantum Leap (the original) being played by an actor who was also in the first episode of the series made it much more interesting. That if you were ever interested in Space: 1999, the "Message from Moonbase Alpha" short has some really interesting implications.

That Space Rangers and Moon Over Miami were cut off entirely too early. That Quark is funny as hell for a science fiction fan of my generation, even if it's extremely dated now. Similarly, The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne was hella fun and should've lasted much longer (though Michael Praed's Shatner-esque line deliveries were exceptionally annoying at times!). That the Sonny Steel grave arc is majorly under-represented in Wiseguy fiction.

Almost certainly others, but those are the ones that came to mind.

Zombies ate my neighbors needs a revival. A comical survival/horror game with a system that isn't so convoluted and complicated that it's limiting. Why do no survival games come with a usable tutorial to tell you how to do things in the game? It always just throws you into the game with 47 menus and you're supposed to sus it out before dying.

I just heard there's going to be another Mega Man game. At this point I'm wondering if they have anything to contribute to modern platforming at all. By the time Shovel Knight came out new MM was already looking kind of tedious, and now compared to things like Gravity Circuit, what exactly is the point? Are we just going to reprise the gear system? Is there enough material in that for a whole game worth of new ideas?

The Big Cheese was funded by the same organization that created the Samurai Pizza Cats to justify their outlandish R&D budget. Pizza Cat technology was sunk cost the moment it came up in the boardroom. They've just been sending good money after bad for years.

Gaming specific:

MMO’s were exponentially better when the co tent was more difficult, and things took a longer time to acquire. When WoW catered to the chronically casual- it became the industry standard to ship each game with a built-in “I win” button.

Basically, games like DAoC, Asheron’s Call, and EverQuest walked so the modern games could fall.

The Ellimist should have stepped in and cushioned Rachel's fall. She didn't deserve what she got.

I'm rewatching a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood for the first time since I think it came out I guess. There's two things that are striking me. One they all just stand around while bad things happen a lot, but I guess that's just Anime. The other thing is I have no idea it was so long. It's too long. I guess I remember it being like you know 28 episodes or something. This show is stretching so much. It should have been shorter.

edit Oh and one more thing, where are all the Alchemists? In a show called Fullmetal Alchemist outside of the first few episodes there aren't any. It's weird there's not more running around.
