The Desk of Death Battle tackles the question of whether "James Bond" is actually one guy or simply an alias that goes along with the 007 title.


To me everyone Pre-Craig is the same guy. Tracy married the Lazenby Bond, but it was clearly implied that Moore and Dalton's Bonds were married to the same woman. The references in regard to the Brosnan Bond were more oblique but still there.

EC Henry tackles the fundamental message of TOS


He presents some interesting ideas. I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with it (one could debate forever about the true meaning of the Roddenberry Gospel), but it's still thought-provoking.

The animation from the failed "Saban Moon" pitch has been found.



Yeah, um, that was...something.

someone set the beginning of doctor who's season 23 to the red dwarf theme song:

"I knew the opening to Trial of a Time Lord reminded me of something..."

I couldn't watch much of it, the animation was just too bad and it was clear that the characters didn't have much personality.



I had a whole screed planned around the question "why make a new product around the name Sailor Moon if you're not actually going to adapt what makes Sailor Moon unique?" Especially when you consider that this is a time period when American children only had access to anime via television dubs. Nobody here even knew what "Sailor Moon" was, so why do we care?


With the modifications made to the character designs and plot for the sake of "Americanizing" it, why not go whole hog, rename everyone, and drop the Sailor Moon branding entirely?
