    She always was, ever since Poppy first existed. And even after Poppy disappeared, once Ruby convinced Belinda and the Doctor that she existed Belinda wanted to get her back too. If anyone has cause to complain it's the mysterious Ritchie who is now a father, but even that wasn't the Doctor's...

    That one's already got a Rose, the genuine article. I'm not sure adding a Doctor Rose to the mix would help in any way. Captain Jack, on the other hand, would be overjoyed to meet her.

    Yeah, that joke hit me after a couple of seconds. An older reference, but it checks out.

    I played Elite Dangerous for the longest time after it came out, but stopped maybe a year after Horizons came out. It was a great game, but the unbalanced PvP and lack of an official multiplayer PvE mode killed it for me. Not sure how those aspects have developed since then.

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    Yeah, I saw it last night and enjoyed it well enough. Surprisingly closer to being an Incredible Hulk sequel than a Captain America sequel. The only thing that bothers me about Sam's journey is that I've never felt like Captain America needed to be some kind of inherited mantle to be passed on...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    That's a perennial problem with both alternate universe and alternate timeline stories. Realistically, something as complex as DNA combinations, not to mention relationships and timing of 'encounters', would be so subject to the butterfly effect that nobody conceived after the diverging event...

    Just saying, it's more of an "is" than a "would be". Certainly still some ground to explore there, just the actual qualification process is already done.

    Unless, of course, the final impetus that pushed him into obeying Luke and going against his programming was not that it was an order, but that his friends were in imminent danger and he chose to go along with Luke in hopes of saving them.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    There's not really the demand for it. But what I would hope is that Picard, Lower Decks and Prodigy between them have demonstrated that there is sufficient interest in just continuing the story of that post-TNG/DS9/Voyager setting in general, and working in ties to the preceding series as and...
