Listen, man, the poop jokes where you replace the show's name with a poop word are really, really funny, good on ya, I appreciate it, it really does feel like something right out of Seth McFarlane's oeuvre.

But can you give it a rest?! This isn't a bloody Nostalgia Critic video, your subscriber count and week's pay isn't dependent on how many poop butt fart puns you make. We get it, everyone gets it, Starman Discovery is Bad and it spells out the funny sex disease acronym.

I respect your passion, mate, I very much do. That sorta passion in fan communities is exactly why Star Trek has lasted so long, has made such a huge impact on popular culture. And this is a fandom-centric community, so that sorta passion is what's fueled this entire place for so bloody long, too. We're driven by that kinda stuff.

But surely there are more constructive outlets for it beyond irrelevant childish potshots and calling its fans diseased?

Look at the entire basis of the PPC: rather than just complaining incessantly about a bad fanfiction or bad trends within fanfiction, it, instead, uses bad fanfiction as a launching off point to create its own mythos, it's own storytelling and characters and world and so on and so forth. An entirely new and unique work of art has been added to the world!

Complaining about bad things is fun for a bit, I know, I would absolutely know, because I find myself doing the same thing, too. But other than letting some steam off, maybe getting a few chortles from mates, it's pointless. And if you let it just fester too long, it gets outright toxic!

Seth MacFarlane's The Orville has been confirmed for a third season, despite fears from fans that it would be struck down by the Mouse (following their merger with Fox) due to poorly ratings for Season 2.

I, for one, am elated. I've been waiting anxiously for confirmation since the last episode of Season 2 'The Road not Taken'.

If you haven't watched the Orville: Watch it. Now. It's frakking amazing. It's not just Family Guy in space. It's a show that maintains the legacy of the Star Trek franchise, without being part of said franchise. It's a homage, it's a love-letter by MacFarlane (who's a massive Trekkie), and it's a much better show than that farce of a show 'Star Turd: Discovery'

If you watched the Orville, and didn't like it or get into it; watch it again. You're obviously lying. What sort of person couldn't like the Orville? ;)

If you seriously didn't enjoy it, that's your decision. You can choose not to like it. I wouldn't think of you as less of a person. However, if you hate the Orville, but like STD, then I'd be inclined to think words like 'Drekkie' or 'Carrier'.

Happy late birthday!

A few days ago, Sergio posted a new document to his WordPress account, detailing some behind-the-scenes notes about the over-arching links between Sergio's pre-PPC and PPC eras. I found it an interesting read, and thought some of you folks might like to read it too!

Happy Birthday!

I know it's a bit late, but have a triple chocolate cupcake!

Don't forget to blow out the candle and make a wish!

And the automated event feed from the Second PPC Hunger Games, but hS coined the term. You can read all about it here, though some bits might be NS4M. An agent with an NS4M name is in it, too.

Have a Woz plush!

Sheesh, I need to check the Board more often, I almost missed this.
Come to think of it, how many birthdays have I missed already? Hm, this warrants investigation.
Back on topic, have some birthday pizza! Freshly made and filed with topping changing magical goodness. Enjoy!

Have a happy birthday, and enjoy your day!

I'mma get you a Thing and will present you with it when next you're down. =]

And you are still older than me. =P

...to be the world's smallest Blood Knight.

...because of course I will.
So here goes: I'm rec'ing Gundam Build Fighters (which is free on YouTube officially) because it manages to be a toy commercial a la Transformers yet keep a decent heart and plot to it at the same time. Basically, it's Beyblade but with Gundam models instead of spinning thingies. Also, the soundtrack is amazing...though the voice acting less so. But it manages to be, as someone on a Gundam discord server put it, a 'lovable trainwreck.' And there are tons of easter eggs for other Gundam series in there as well--Ramba Ral from the original Mobile Suit Gundam gets a place as a minor character with a custom model of his Gouf, and tons of other series' characters and mobile suits get cameos--seriously, fans call this Gundam Valhalla for a reason, and Word of God confirms that characters who died in other series live on happily in Build Fighters.

So, basically, it's a mostly traditional merch-pushing tie-in series but it manages to have heart, generally likeable characters, and it doesn't take itself too seriously (unlike its sort-of successor, Gundam Build Divers)...(even if the Gunpla Mafia is an utterly absurd concept...though the protagonist, Sei, lampshades it a bit with his disbelieving reaction.)

I always thought you were at least a couple years older than you actually were. Not sure why XD

*No matter how cool Deadpool makes it look like, I'm not allowed to 'clean up the timeline' of canon works.
**No, not even Green Lantern
**Deadpool is already doing it anyways, do you really want to get in his way?
***Hey, I wouldn't mind bringing someone with me for that. They just have to bring chimichangas.

Have a cupcake!

Happy cake day.
