Full Moon Finale

Question from a newbie: do the subscriber rewards eventually become available to everyone?

Patreon rewards? Most of the non early access ones do not. (Stories, book reviews, dragons lair reviews, adventure book LP)

House of Quark

I've always liked this episode. Quark shows that he actually understands how Klingons work. At least, more than any other Ferengi probably does.

I liked that episode of the show for how it treated the Frengi as real characters and not a tasteless gag. "Profit and Lace" needs to be scrubbed from continuity.

Yeah but you have to sit through it to do that

Anyone notice Chuck accidentally put Akira Toriyama in the much older cartoonists place in the background of King Kong vs. Godzilla?

Evangelion 3.33

It is generally very interesting to see a take from someone who hasn't seen the original show.

Asuka kicks around Shinji some more 3.33

So this thread hasn't been active in a while, but Chuck recently released a review of New Eden and I seriously have to wonder how many aliens have appeared as divine beings throughout the Star Trek world's history. Besides the angel in that episode there's also the aliens from Tattoo, Kukulkan from the animated series and I think some TOS episode had the Greek gods as aliens too.

Chuck reviews Planetes. Planetes is an anime about astronauts who collect debris in space before it can smash into stuff. It is a very 'hard' science fiction work, that is as close to reality as it can manage. No Applied Phlebotinum here. Now in the text describing the review Chuck says "Ai joins Debris Section aboard a space station, and I wish I was never born." That sounds like Chuck might think this is a terrible anime, but in his review he seems to genuinely enjoy it, so if you like Planetes like me and are afraid Chuck's just going to shit all over it, don't worry, he doesn't.

Doesn't look like he's got much going for him this month, probably because Thanksgiving.

I am looking forward to what he has to say on Neuromancer, though.

Looks like a bunch of Next Generation videos got taken down. Possibly related to "99 Red balloons" because the review that was just uploaded has that generic opening. Also, lots of still images during narration instead of footage of the episode, though the review still has some clips taken from the episode, with sound and everything.

Schedule for this month is up. Personally looking forward to:

• Deep Space Nine's "Hard Time"
• Justice League Unlimited's "Patriot Act"
• Dark Crystal
• More Babylon 5 - "There All the Honor Lies", "And Now For a Word", "Knives", and "Convictions"

Hard Times is one of my monthly requests. Was surprised when I noticed he hadn't done it yet.

Ye Gods - that is a lot of good SF to be going over....

Hmm... he still hasn't touched Beyond?

Well he did look at Into Darkness just a year ago.

Right now I'm wondering how he'll react to "There All the Honor Lies", a.k.a. "All the Minbari Hypocrisy". He's already reamed out their attitude of "How dare you fight back when we're trying to exterminate you" in his "Points of Departure" review, so I'm thinking it's not a matter of whether there will be an explosion, but rather how big that explosion will be.

Also, the Babylon 5 gift shop.

Edit: From the look of things, it seems like the Star Trek reviews getting taken down were more about the video content, rather than the intro music.

Interesting that in his B5 reviews he seems to be skipping "Divided Loyalties" and moving straight into season 3, since before he had been reviewing them mostly in order.

hes never been reviewing them in order, he's even joked about it. He reviews them based on whats been requested.

So, why can't I watch Code of Honor? Or A Night in Sickbay? Or anything Star Trek related?

Doctor Who is still watchable, though. That's odd.

There is once again a problem with the video player that's being fixed. Chuck must be cursed.

I do wonder what this year's Christmas episode will be. All of Trek has been covered, as has Doctor Who, Babylon 5 and Stargate SG-1.

Apparently, SF Debris is having a "What new hell is this" sell.
