CBS To Produce MOAR Star Trek Shows In The Future

So with Discovery being a hit of sorts, CBS is going to maximum warp on Star Trek and plans on shooting out multiple series based on different settings. Some of these include one based on Starfleet Academy, a Khan limited series, an animated series of sorts, and one that might bring back the bald captain who controls the skies.

Now whether all this comes to fruition or not is another story, but it’s nice to see that there’s some semblance of Star Trek to look forward to in the future. Out of all these ideas, I wouldn’t mind seeing another animated series, since we really haven’t had one since the 70s. If we do go that route, may I suggest you stick with a traditional animated style and stay away from the CG stuff? That style of animation is usually hit or miss and I don’t want a CG series that looks worse than the cutscenes in the old Elite Forces computer games.

How Does Transformers Fight A Long Road Trip In Space?

IDW announced a four-issue mini-series starting in September that will featuring a crossover between the Star Trek animated series from the 70s with the original 80s Transformers, which is precisely the sort of ridiculous crossover concept you’ve come to expect from IDW, considering their crossovers with Doctor Who and Planet Of The Apes.

I’m sure this’ll be good fun. IDW has been consistently been putting out some really good Trek comics these past few years and those other crossovers were fun reads if nothing else.

WWE Taboo Tuesday 2004

We’re jumping ahead a year here because I don’t want to wait until months down the line to replace an old slot.

In 2004, WWE attempted an “innovative new” formula for their PPV offerings; Taboo Tuesday, a PPV that would air on a Tuesday instead of the traditional Sunday and also give the audience (we didn’t have a WWE Universe at the time, whatever that is) some control over the booking of the match.

I posted my votes and subsequent thoughts on the show back in the old blog and those have been reposted here. The choice of words is unfortunate, as is the overall tone, but it does give you an idea of what I thought of this show at the time. It’s been years since then and I’ve opted to give this show another look, if for no other reason than this give this show a proper write-up circa 2018.

And Another Thing…

You know… I’m still a little sore about the whole Asuka thing. She gets beat by Charlotte at Mania, then Charlotte loses the Women’s title to Carmella. And then Asuka challenges for the title and eventually gets the upper hand, but is spooked by someone dressed like her. And then it’s revealed to be James Ellsworth and that scares her even more?

It’s time for a new Cornette Face… and sure enough…

Mike Tenay's Vaporwave

Former wrestling announcer and current Vegas fellow Mike Tenay fell on hard times and resorted to Vaporwave music. Please do him a favor and buy some of his albums (or download them for free) from his bandcamp page.

Disclaimer: Mike Tenay did not actually make these tunes, but some other dude using his name and likeness. Still, it’s some sweet and soothing tunes that I often play whenever I’m going on long drives or doing some deep creative stuff.
