Right to left can also be about returning home. It's why the Enterprise at the beginning of ST III is filmed going right to left... the ship is heading back to Earth. So it makes sense in Stick Man because he's heading back to the Family Tree.

Same, and I would have definitely used that loophole. Maybe it's an American Catholic thing? I'm pretty sure there are a few European countries that open their pressies on the 24th.

Ooh, nice ad hominem. You are definitely just full of good faith arguments, aren't you?

I'm not sure that anyone who follows Nick Cohen can claim to be on the side of "protecting women".

Same. I have an idea that it might have happened around the same time as they were doing one of the cartoons, probably to make Walter a more viable antagonist.

Ah yeah. Closed captioning = subtitles.

They mean the same thing, but they're still different words. It'd be like if the subtitles decided to spell Rubbish as "trash".

At what point did they start writing Walter as a little git who was more of an actual bully than Dennis was?

And then Sam looks confused, as if Gonzo isn't really there.

Scrooge also pets Gonzo and Rizzo at the end, so could he actually see them in every scene and was just ignoring them commenting on his life?

I thing the hard bit wouldn't be the graphics, but the tangibility and scale. Like, it could make a convincing room, but you'd all have to stick together and no-one could walk out the door.

But by that time they'd gotten rid of the big light/window on the model so what was he looking in to?
(Probably should have been the definite window in the ceiling the Bridge has, but then they'd have had to actually build that)

Wait, does that mean it's bad being poly and you're making excuses, or it's good being poly and you're bad for ignoring it?

Was the intention with the original Enterprise model circa WNMHGB that the big rectangular light on the front of the bridge section was an actual window and/or the viewscreen? Or was there no thought other than "big light pretty"?

Another "fiddling with an already good design" idea. Yeah, the TNG holodeck was just some yellow reflective tape, but it was iconic and since the holodeck was already basically magic, it worked. DS9 and VOY just over complicated things.

The thing there is that if you start down that line of thinking then you rapidly hit "maybe the command centre shouldn't be exposed on the top of the ship?"

The viewscreen in FC was definitely a holographic projection that presumably just floated in mid air. For the next two films they reverted to a traditional viewscreen (that still kept the faux 3D effect, I think)

I have it with Prime but not Megatron. I think it's because we have had less straight G1 cartoon Megses than Primeses due to the whole alt-mode issue. And yeah, SS86 Megs is still a tank, but it's a clever transformation and his robot mode looks great.
