Quote: Quote: Quote: I know, I wasn't able to get here on the week-end (was working this week-end) and yesterday I was doing soccer registrations all day, so I had time to pop in here and there and nothing. I'm a little over a page into the new AL story; I'd hoped to work on it yesterday, but my planned 10 hour day turned into an 11 hour day with registrations getting dropped off at my house after work too, so I didn't really get a chance.Quote: I'd love to write something (I suppose some kind of capper to the St. Patrick's Day story is in order), but I actually do have work to do instead. I just keep dropping by here on various breaks when work gets too frustrating.I have an idea for another round robin actually, but I don't want to start it until the St. Patty's one is wrapped up. I'm in no rush though, and the idea can keep as long as it needs; it's not tied to current continuity. Quote: I always get the most ideas for stories when I have the least time to do anything about them.Yeah, I usually get the urge to write when I have no time to do it, and when I sit down with a lot of time I find it really hard to get started. Quote: Quote: Now that the stage is set, if they can maintain this cast, I hope they can build on the crew relationships a little more. I did like that each of the "old" crew got a moment to shine, and especially liked that Uhura got a boost beyond just being the receptionist. Was surprised to see her rocking the mini-skirt though; I thought that didn't really fit with the military aspect of Star Fleet.Quote: Quote: I wouldn't mind seeing some of the old cast pop in as their characters grandparents or parents too, actually, though having Nimoy as Spock was nice.Quote: Scotty and Bones are dead now, aren't they? And I think Shatner's ego is a bit much for him to do a cameo like that... but I think the rest of the old cast might be game, and would be fun to see.Yeah, but Uhura, Chekov, Sulu, Spock, and Kirk are all still around. George Takei is still taking on new roles (he was in Heroes as Hiro's father and was recently the voice of Galactus on Superhero Squad), so working him in would be fun. Not sure if the other ones are still acting much any more (Shatner has been, though I'm not sure what he's in right now). Quote: I caught a Dr. Pepper commercial for a tie-in with Iron Man last night, and Stan Lee was doing his cameo thing again as a janitor in Stark's home. No lines, just there. I admit, I get a kick out of each of his cameos, although this is the first one I recall that was just for a commercial.It took me forever to find Stan Lee in the first X-Men movie. I had heard which scene he was in but misunderstood which scene that was. Quote: I think the saddest thing about the Spider-man relaunch for me is that the next one won't have a Bruce Campbell cameo in it. Shave a few years off of Bruce Campbell and I think you could have a ridiculously fun Captain Marvel film. Quote: Quote: The alternate reality thing was a good way to shut up all the Trek purists who would've been screaming about every changed detail too I thought.Quote: I would have to bet they still freak out whenever there's a change that would have to predate the events in the relaunch. They do like to freak out.That they do. When Vulcan got destroyed I was thinking this is a really radical change, but then the whole alternate reality thing explained it away. ~Hat~ | |||||||
