I'd strongly recommend skipping to part 2 of this review if you want to save yourself from nearly twenty minutes of inane babbling.

The Velveteen Rabbit was a more likely inspiration for Toy Story, but there have been plenty of this kind of "living toys" stories told over the years.

Imagine if they did this episode now. You'd have a transforming robot, at least a couple of superheroes, some fighting monsters, maybe a wrestler or two, etc.

I don't have much confidence in that animated series. At best, it would be like the early 2000s Transformers comics where they threw every project at Simon Furman (who'd written for the franchise in the '80s and '90s) to rapidly diminishing returns, but more likely it'll be like when George Lucas ca...

There was an episode of the '90s revival of The Outer Limits with the same premise. David Hyde Pierce (Niles from Frasier) played the lead role.

I wonder if it would make sense to set up a PeerTube instance for this site.

That "no dead people in Starfleet" rule isn't really as rigid as Chuck makes it seem here. Spock, for instance, continued to serve long after his death. Same with Harry Kim.
