I find it amusing that, in "A Look Back at The Agenda", Chuck says things aren't as simple as Silverbolt's Good vs. Evil view ... for the same story where Megatron celebrates his victory by declaring, "Evil triumphs!" I think that, even in the 90s, this was back when children's entertainment, espec...

Boimler succeeded, multiple times. Until evil mommy told him to fail on purpose. Also, Kobayashi says what? Yeah, Boimler succeeded multiple times, and it's only his own OCD that prevented him from accepting the results. And "Evil Mommy" and Mariner didn't tell him to fail, just keep the simulator ...

Hasbro was absolutely adamant about the fact that Mainframe NOT waste resources on characters they weren't promoting. It's why Scorponok and Terrorsaur got so suddenly scrapped at the start of season 2, and Tigertron and Airrazor got written off. Hasbro was apparently upset they were spending any t...

Can't be THAT much of a dead end posting if Boimler was able to be promoted and reassigned to the Titan at the end of Season 1. Escaping it is the only way to save your career. The last episode confirms it's the lowest performing ship in Starfleet. In fairness, the tests were pretty much designed t...

I'm kind of of hoping for a story where Mariner's habitual demotions actually have someone from Starfleet threaten to either send her to a dead end posting, like the quartermaster's office or something, or thrown out of Starfleet entirely. As I understand it, the paradox of this is that the Cerrito...

But for all that, it still feels that Ravage went out too soon and too easily. (And yes, I'm aware of a much later comic tie-in that brought him back. This is about the show first and foremost, however.) I, too, was a little disappointed when Optimal Situation revealed Ravage was the only one out o...

They may not. Remember the episode when the Enterprise computer gets flaky and it takes Data nearly being killed for Geordi to come up with the groundbreaking idea of "restore from backup and reboot"? To be fair, that's because the Enterprise caught a computer worm. Because apparently, no one in th...

And I can't help but love it.

Another little wink and nod to the fans.

Got himself a toy at the time, too. At least in Japan.
