    Well, on one of my long-term projects, I finally broke down and redid Prime's face to try to get it closer to the "season one" look of the G1 Transformers series: Too washed out under normal light, but a flash makes it look worse. Ah well... Anyways, here's his puss: Still working on it, but the old configuration was bothering me immensely. It's not perfect, but I'll get it where it needs to go (eventually). But the figure is at least good enough to photograph for my Photoshop projects: Stay tuned...

    I would recommend that we "burn this with fire", but the "series" so far seems to be doing that all on its' own.

    More like the continuing punchline to a sad, sad joke.

    Makes me wonder if at the end of this series, everything "fades to white", and we see Dr. Crusher standing over his bed at the Federation Nursing home: "Okay, I've sedated him, Will. It's been another episode of his Irumodic Syndrome. (re: All Good Things TNG S7 E25/26) I'm sorry it took us a bit to catch him before he did something dangerous..." Will Riker: "Too late; he crossed the Romulan Neutral Zone in a private craft with some ragtag crew. When we finally took them under tow, he was shouting something about 'Data's Daughter'. I'm going to have one hell of a time explaining this to the Admiral."

    I really wonder what TNG Picard would make of all of this? Not "woke" Picard, but the Captain we all knew from the series.

    I saw this on etsy; you might want to take a look at it (not mine, but I wish i had the money for it!): https://www.etsy.com/listing/734872406/huge-lot-of-robotech-macross-bandai?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=robotech&ref=sr_gallery-1-5&organic_search_click=1&frs=1

    At the rate our world is going, that will be explorers from another star system sifting through the debris that once made up our planet, silently drifting in space and still quite warm and radioactive... ... and probably littered with SJW logos and slogans spray painted all over the larger rocks. :p

    A couple of my latest: 1) I revisited my figure of Rom the Spaceknight: I decided to make him skew a bit more closely to the comic version (1979), but had to make some necessary compromises. On a side note: I recently found out they sell a replacement sound board for the original figure! I wish I had the money to get it, so i could incorporate it into this one! 2) the Emperor of Destruction himself: I rebuilt MP-05 after determining that it had way too many issues. I also decided on a separate alt mode (seen at the feet below on pic), as honestly, I really do not fancy having a gigantic handgun replica lying around the house where I live! A group shot of some of my work:

    As to "weird behaviors", try M7 for some bizzare antics! I'm sure SFDM also has its' share, as well as M+.

    Discovery tanked because it sucks. How does it suck? Well... 1) It lacks the optimism of TOS, which is set ten years later than this series. I'm sorry, but a LOT of Star Trek's appeal is hope; underestimate its' importance and you lose most of what makes Star Trek what it is. I mean, who in their right mind would want to live in THAT kind of world? 2) For a prequel, it doesn't look like anything that TOS could have come from. Unless you're planning to rewrite TOS (in which case wouldn't this become the new "TOS" and TOS become it's "TNG"?), then this needs to hook into it. And having the ships look so much more advanced doesn't help matters. Where does this leave TOS then? And if it isn't the same universe as TOS, then what the hell is the point? Just make it its' own series and stop worrying about what it's supposed to lead to! 3) "Edgy" may work for a lot of sci-fi, but having the Federation as "edgy" just doesn't work. An organization dedicated to keeping the peace, peaceful exploration and research, and safe commerce for all it's members and allied constituents has no business being "edgy". That's akin to dressing the entire US Military all in black armor and balaclavas and standing guard on every street corner. 4) It tried being something else instead of Star Trek: while it has all the trappings of Star Trek, it feels more like "Got in space" (see point 3). It doesn't feel like it's own show really, but all the "best ideas" they could find from other genres and shows. Lastly: pointing an accusing finger at "old fans" and claiming "they are not accepting of anything" is really just unfair. No one has the right to tell anyone what they should and should not like. Can we state that we dislike something? Of course; that's our right and we use that every day here! But to say that fans "are not accepting of anything" just because they don't like Star Trek: Discovery? To try to put this politely: they have the right to dislike what they dislike. And think about it: if it were any good, there would be more new fans of it than there are now. The "old fans" do not owe it to anyone to "like a series" just so newer fans can be brought on board. We start getting into that mindset, and pretty soon, it becomes a game of "you need to do this for someone else", and thus one's likes and dislikes are held hostage for someone else. Instead, series need to stand on their ability to deliver a compelling story with an equally compelling cast and writing.

    I'd like to see them do all that twisting and dodging with a Death Star.

    Right? If we wanted "R" rated, we'd ask if they'd let Quentin Tarantino direct an SW film...
