Odin makes a human-sized Lego Space Radio


What a shock, I'm a fan of the older LEGO themes that didn't have oodles of custom parts.



In fact, I remember when "licensed LEGO" wasn't even a thing. Castle, Pirate, Town, Space, those were the themes. Technic and Duplo were peripheral to these. And that was it.

Epic Rap Battles of History presents Christopher Columbus vs. Captain Kirk


The Kirk actor really overdoes the Shatnerian pauses. I get that hyperbole is a valid form of comedy, but (ironically) you can overdo it.

Can you fit a whole game into a QR code?


Yes, you can. Sure, it's only graphing calculator-quality Snake, but it still works.

Trailer for the new Moon Knight series.


While Moon Knight is not one of my favorite Marvel heroes, I know a lot more about him than most people. And I'm just not sure that this guy would work as a show unless you really changed him. Deadpool sort of used up the audience's appetite for insane superheroes, and Batman knockoffs are a dime a dozen these days.

An analysis of the history of Starfleet uniforms during the Lost Era between STVI and TNG.



I find this stuff interesting. And of course a Voyager scene set during this era messed the continuity up.



Followup video


The green wraparound tunic is pointed out. I really do DESPISE that ugly thing. More discussion of the mission-specific uniform variants here.



To nobody's surprise, Gene hated the Monster Maroons (too militaristic) and rejected all such elements for TNG. More proof that Gene had the unfortunate habit of focusing too much on the little things and not enough on the big things.

Norm from Tested creates a diorama for the Wonder Woman Golden Armor figure.


I get the reference to the work of Alex Ross, but I never liked the golden eagle armor. One of the key principles of Wonder Woman is that she's agile, and I just don't see how you can be agile in bulky armor like that.


That being said, using the LED string for a lit-up Lasso of Truth is pretty cool.


As for Wonder Woman vs. Iron Man, Wonder Woman wins. She could crush sections of the armor just like Thor did, and she's fast enough to deflect or dodge any of Iron Man's weapons.
