Trailer for the new Moon Knight series.


While Moon Knight is not one of my favorite Marvel heroes, I know a lot more about him than most people. And I'm just not sure that this guy would work as a show unless you really changed him. Deadpool sort of used up the audience's appetite for insane superheroes, and Batman knockoffs are a dime a dozen these days.

An analysis of the history of Starfleet uniforms during the Lost Era between STVI and TNG.



I find this stuff interesting. And of course a Voyager scene set during this era messed the continuity up.

The green wraparound tunic is pointed out. I really do DESPISE that ugly thing. More discussion of the mission-specific uniform variants here.



To nobody's surprise, Gene hated the Monster Maroons (too militaristic) and rejected all such elements for TNG. More proof that Gene had the unfortunate habit of focusing too much on the little things and not enough on the big things.

Norm from Tested creates a diorama for the Wonder Woman Golden Armor figure.


I get the reference to the work of Alex Ross, but I never liked the golden eagle armor. One of the key principles of Wonder Woman is that she's agile, and I just don't see how you can be agile in bulky armor like that.


That being said, using the LED string for a lit-up Lasso of Truth is pretty cool.


As for Wonder Woman vs. Iron Man, Wonder Woman wins. She could crush sections of the armor just like Thor did, and she's fast enough to deflect or dodge any of Iron Man's weapons.

I had forgotten how vaguely defined kaltoh and kadiskot in Voyager were.

The official trailer for the new Mario movie


I'm still conflicted as to whether this looks good or not. Some of the voices rub me the wrong way, and integrating game mechanics into a narrative-based world is a delicate balancing act that few adaptations can pull off. At some point you have to ask why there are floating blocks all over the place. Who put them there? How are they floating? How come Mario doesn't crack his skull when he jumps into one?
