OMG I'M DYING FROM THIS. 😂 It's time for a Gen-X deep cut of nerdery.

I'm a big fan of the 1986 TV series Starman, which was a continuation of the 1984 movie with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. IMO it's aged well (both the movie and the show). Good acting, writing, and production values. The TV show is generally family-friendly 80s, so don't expect anything edgy. There's some good social commentary, though.

Why am I telling you this in a Tuvok reblog? Because I first saw Tim Russ as a guest star in a Starman TV episode. When I saw him as Tuvok years later, I said, "Hey, that's Tyrone, the pimp from that one ep of Starman!" Paul (the alien in the TV series) got thrown in jail for double parking and unwittingly arguing with the cop who told him to move, IIRC. Tyrone was his cellmate. He's really funny.

My dayjob beckons, so I'll try to find some screencaps later today.

Tuvok 1D option 1………..? 👉👈 if u want…

I ABSOLUTELY do want thank u friend (1D)

Dirk Blocker

Physique: Husky Build Height: 5′ 9″ (1.75 m)

Dennis Dirk Blocker (born July 31, 1957-) is an American actor. He earned his first regular TV role on Baa Baa Black Sheep (1976–1978), playing pilot Jerry Bragg. From 2013–2021, he starred as Detective Michael Hitchcock on the Fox/NBC comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. His best known film credits include Poltergeist (1982), Starman (1984) and Prince of Darkness (1987).

A cute, bald and cuddly daddy, I think he has developed into a more fuckable daddy than his dad, Dan Blocker of Bonanza fame. What? His father was a big old bear that look like he'd just fuck you and leave. Dirk looks like he’d stay and cuddle.

Lets see… he was born in Los Angeles, CA, earn his bachelor of arts degree so he could teach K-12. Is married with two children. Honestly I don't even know why I mention it any more. I must be genetically predisposed to only being attracted to straight guys. Still, I can dream.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV Series) - Numerous times shirtless. There’s… Johnny! (TV Series) - Open shirt and short shorts. MAS*H (TV Series) - Open shirt.

Poster for Planet Prince: The Terrifying Spaceship, released on May 25, 1959. This was the second half of a two-part serial; the first half was released the previous week on May 19.

These two short features - Part One was 57 minutes long, Part Two was 64 minutes - were produced by Toei. They were adaptations of the Planet Prince television series from Senkosha, much like Toei had done with Senkosha's previous series Moonlight Mask (Gekko Kamen).

However, unlike the Moonlight Mask films, the Planet Prince films featured a hero not at all resembling his television counterpart.

The television Planet Prince was Senkosha's answer to Shin Toho's theatrical superhero Super Giant (aka Starman in the USA), with a similar costume and superpowers. Over 49 episodes his costume changed a bit, but he looked like this:

I think we can all agree, the two versions of Planet Prince look nothing alike. Well, except that they both have the same number of arms and legs and noses and whatnot.

In 1965 the two Toei Planet Prince films were edited together into an 85 minute-long TV movie for American television entitled Prince of Space. This is the version seen on Mystery Science Theatre 3000, and was released on DVD with the Sonny Chiba (as Iron Sharp/Space Chief) film Invasion of the Neptune Men (1961).

Anyhoo, in no way should Planet Prince/Prince of Space be confused with this guy:

This is Prince Planet, the hero of a 52-episode animated series that debuted in Japan in 1965. An English-dubbed version hit American airwaves the following year.

Prince Planet was, like Super Giant/Starman and Planet Prince, and alien endowed with incredible superpowers (Although most of his came from his pendant) who came to Earth to protect its inhabitants from various threats.

The series did not last more than a year, however, because of two reasons:

It was black-and-white when color TV was rapidly gaining popularity; kids had more colorful choices for their viewing pleasure.

Parent groups complained about violence in the series, especially when Prince Planet seemed to have no qualms about killing his enemies. I have not seen this series, but I really, really want to just for that reason alone.

Finally, in 2012 there was a theatrical reboot of Planet Prince, appropriately entitled Planet Prince 2021.

I have not seen this film yet, though I did see the trailer a couple of years back and wasn't very impressed; it seemed the filmmakers were going for a goofy, "look how silly we can be" vibe, much like Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G8 Summit (2008), the sequel/reboot of The X From Outer Space (1967).

I will seek out this film and view one of these days, though, if only because it features one of the last performances by the late Jirō Dan, who was Ultraman Jack's alter ego, Hideki Go, for decades.

Also, the costume looks kinda neat, in a low budget sorta way, although I'm not crazy about the sneakers.

[atwas-meme-ing]

Having grown up in the 2000's, I must say that 60's and 70's sci-fi was my jam. Haven't watched Classic BG or ST:TOS in years, but I kid you not, I think of them almost every day.

I miss when sci fi was allowed to be goofy and weird and long running, with a lot of daily life plots and silly costumes and fun real sets.

nowadays it's trying so hard to be prestige television, and intelligent, without realizing that the best sci fi could be that AND ridiculous. it's all CGI and brooding and people being sad on sad looking gray planets.

I also dislike how modern sci fi is dystopian this, dystopian that.

you know, farscape is technically a dystopia, but it still let itself be a fun one.

maybe your dystopian sci fi needs puppets.

That post about writers completely re-inventing characters and ignoring continuity and turning them into basically self-insert OC's (which is generally infuriating for fans) got me thinking about times when it actually worked well to totally revamp a character. I think one of the keys is when it's an extremely minor character, and long dead or out of continuity, so fans are less likely to mind. (Readmore, because damn do I ramble a lot.)

Like one of my favorite examples is the Shade, a Silver-Age Flash villain who had a cane who could create shadows:

It's the guy in the top hat, so old school that he hung out with The Fiddler.

Shade had largely fallen out of continuity when he was picked up to be a major character in James Robinson's Starman, where he was reinvented as an immortal being from the Victorian era who had gained supernatural powers from a magical accident. No longer needing the cane, this Shade could control and project shadows. Starman's Shade was also a significantly more interesting and complex anti-hero type, who had adopted Opal City as his home and is willing to defend it. He is dark enough to rip people to pieces with his shadows, but winds up helping the good guys more often than not, even if it's sometimes for his own purposes. The series also delves into his past history through the present, fleshing out his past and origins. Also, he got much hotter:

That probably helped, too. This Shade is so different from the original he may as well be James Robinson's OC, but i can't imagine even fans of the original complaining, he's a very cool character whose profile was raised enough in Starman that he got a solo mini-series. He also appeared in the live action Stargirl TV series as the Robinson version of the Shade, playing a similar role as an amoral anti-hero who might be helpful but can't always be trusted.

Of course, I may be biased, because I love The Shade.

Another example where I'm definitely biased is X-Men's Changeling transforming into Morph on TAS. Changeling was kind of an interesting character, as a former terrorist turned good with a last-minute redemption, but his redemption was a half-assed flashback that retconned his death to revive Xavier. He probably would have been a forgotten footnote in X-Men history if he hadn't been pulled out of mothballs and given a personality overhaul to become Morph, a much more fun, heroic and sympathetic character. I think it says a lot of that all the alternate versions of Changeling that appeared in the comics since TAS (AoA and Exiles) have been clearly based on TAS Morph's "wacky shape-shifter" personality, and literally called Morph rather than Changeling. The alternate version has largely eclipsed the original. That being said, it would be kind of interesting to see 616 Changeling resurrected on Krakoa with more of his original personality intact. He could join X-Force for sneaky shape-shifter espionage stuff now that Mystique is busy with the Council and Destiny. If nothing else, it would be funny to see a former criminal be absolutely appalled at Beast's actions in X-Force because "I thought you were supposed to be the good guys!"

There are examples even with bigger name characters, like Bucky Barnes being famously brought back from the dead in 2005 as a mind-controlled assassin. Despite turning Bucky darker and grittier, the revived Bucky has become something of a mainstay of the Marvel Universe, was featured in several movies, and shared a Disney+ series with Falcon in which they were clearly dating. It probably helped that by 2005, Bucky was just famous for being dead, and not many people were reading old comics from the 40's and 50's, so Winter Soldier could over-write teen Bucky.

And of course, there are major overhauls to even long-standing characters that add depth, like Magneto going from a standard 60's villain to a noble-but-misguided terrorist, Holocaust survivor, and old friend of Xavier. I think most people acknowledge that to be a massive improvement on the character that made him far more interesting and complex.

It probably helps when the characters are taken in a "good" direction, although it can be fun to watch people go dark as well. Grim and gritty Bucky was still a largely sympathetic character, he was just "cooler" (and also alive). But I'm pretty sure absolutely no one liked DC villain Dr. Light being retconned as a rapist in Identity Crisis, even if it made him more threatening. (There was a lot to hate about Identity Crisis). I'm also not super-fond of Josh Williamson giving the original Trickster a come-back only to write him as much nastier than he was before, although at least he didn't become a rapist. Never write James Jesse again, Williamson.

Responses are mixed to Moira McTaggert, another long-dead minor character, being retconned as not only a mutant, but a mutant who has been directing and influencing all of the X-Men's history from behind the scenes. Personally, I'm sad to see one of the X-Men's best known human allies turned into a secretive and manipulative mutant, but I could deal with it until Percy turned her into an evil cyborg that wore a Banshee skin-suit. Percy had better keep his claws off Stevie Hunter, one of the few human X-Men allies left alive. (Also she's totally a congresswoman now).

Overall, I think it depends a lot on how long the character has been out of action and how well the writer uses them, and responses will always be mixed. Of course, these positive examples are not meant to justify the tendency of certain writers to take well-known characters with a long established history and completely ignore it in order to write the shallowest and laziest possible version. Everyone reading this probably has a different writer in mind, and you are all right.

some context for my latest skit

I should explain the context of the skit I wrote for Annie/Atsuover's birthday, and why Sheridan sent her a card.

see, in the AU, Sheridan saw Annie as his daughter, despite her still having her parents. this also plays into a take of the Swap AU that exists.

I came up with my own take of the Swap AU with the Revival AU thrown in.

here's who swaps with who:

Annie swaps with Garcy

Sheridan with Lucks

Masa with Marco

Lamar with Sofia

Lucinia with Evelyn

Theo with Bo

you get the idea

as for the other characters,

Wren would swap with Winston (which would make the most sense)

Steven and Glitchy Red would both swap with Mike and Blue Tears (Mike would have a shiny Squirtle)

you get the idea

given this would be similar to the Revival AU, Annie would be adopted by Sheridan, fall in love with Belle (Tari's swap) befriend Desti (Axol's swap) in the afterlife (she died from Alcohol poisoning, and a failing liver) and met the SMG2 crew

Regarding Steven and Glitchy, Steven would be swapped with Mike, Mike went insane after losing his Blastoise Dewdrop in a failed trade, so he strangled Steven, becoming Strangled Blue, or "M!k3" as his inner madness. However, Dewdrop gets reincarnated as a shiny Squirtle for Mike, and he calls him Dewey. As for Glitchy, he swaps with Blue Tears, since Blue and Red are polar opposites.

since X and FM become Spudnick recolors in the Swap AU, Enzo becomes one as well, (Starman's not in the AU for very obvious reasons)

As for Wren, he and Winston swap, so Winston becomes a washed up Splatfest champion and Melony's idol, while Wren becomes the TV Adware, making a simulation for Winston. the Simulation in question would also be Pirate themed, (I remember seeing a picture of the Swap AU having a pirate themed simulation instead of a western theme, which I liked)

for the trio's, Annie becomes pals with both Otis (Swap!SMG0) and Desti, while Garcello befriends Niles and Orange (Swap!Meggy)

Annie and Desti are also a trio with Belle (this'll be shown in the Revival AU too, as the three are also close)

regarding the Meta Runner crew, Lucinia and Sofia are cousins in the swap!AU, and Sofia wants nothing to do with her spoiled cousin. As for Evelyn, she and Lamar are step siblings, both are close, as half the time, the two just had each other. As for their friendship with Annie, they plus Marco met her when she was real young, so they became her older siblings.

As for Annie and Sheridan's relationship, in both AU's, they got along well. In the Swap AU, she's his daughter, and Sheridan fully supports his daughter, both in her dreams, and her transition. Annie's gone by Annie since she was little, she barely remembers her birth name, (rather, her dead name) so Sheridan has always known her as Annie, and he loves her. In the main AU, the two get along well, in fact, Sheridan has Annie as his assistant when working in his lab. She's also hurt when the truth is revealed.

Some things do stay the same from the main series, such as Sheridan's love for coffee, Garcello smoking, and Annie drinking "The Liquid" however, she gains The Liquid after her revival, allowing her to become her Liquid form. Garcello's cigs aren't deadly, but can turn him into a ghost.

That's all I have right now guys, I made add on in the future.

They're remaking what?!?

According to IMDb, Shawn Levy (Arrival, Stranger Things, Night at the Museum, Deadpool 3) is producing and directing a remake of the 1984 scifi/adventure/romance Starman which John Carpenter directed. The film starred a very young Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. It's aged well.

I love this movie.

I love the TV series that followed it even more, warts and all. It wasn't perfect but it had heart. It's mostly been forgotten. 😢 Not by me, though. I've written a lot of fanfic for it. Gotta create the content no one else will.

Do not fuck this up, Levy and everyone else involved!

If anyone wants to watch the TV series, last I saw you can find all of it on YouTube. Message me if you want links.

[therealpontius]

Are you dunn yet?

This is the only other series ive done, ive wrote a few chapters but i abandoned the end so i hope i can pick it up again.

Warnings: drug misuse

It was a normal saturday. You woke up at 7, got changed, watched the news then headed to aldi for your weekly shopping. You were only 23 but acted 53.

When you parked your car you headed for the shop getting milk, soup, veg, fruit and eventually icecream incase of surprise periods or down days.

"Oh piss off" you heard from behind you, making you turn round. A group of 5 men stood, looking at a bag of potatoes , they all looked around your age. One of the boys noticed you had turned around, he was shirtless with patchwork tattoos and a shaved head "hey, lady. Sure potatoes where the first food to grow in space?" The five men turned to look at you, waiting for your response. Unfortunately you knew the answer "yeah...?" The group of men look at each other "bull shit, steve-o payed her to say that. Im calling it" a smaller man with curly hair spoke to the rest "i can confirm he didnt" you laughed as you walked to go pick up your icecream. Aldi only done one you liked and that was cheeky monkey, if you didnt get it it was the end of the world.

You managed to spot it but it was on the top shelf, shit. "Okay ill jump" you whispered under your breath. Didnt work "just stand on your tiptoes" you encourage yourself. Didnt work. You look around, no ones there. "AASAHDHWJEJE" screaming into your hands in frustration "hello? Everything alright?" You freeze in horror and embarrassment as someone tapped your sholder from behind, you slowly turn round and it was one of the men from earlier, curly blonde hair and was probably around 6ft with beautiful eyes, he noticed you staring at himFor too long "hello? Lady?" You snapped out of it "um yes sorry im fine" you turned round again to hide your red face "well alright" his voice faded.

Once he had gone you continued trying to reach it when you felt an arm brush pass yours and grab the ice cream, you turn round to face who it was when you realise how close he is, practically hugging you close . Sure enough it was the beautiful stranger "here you go, im getting one aswell anyways" you raise your eyebrow since youve never heard anyone else actually liking it "you like this one?" He nods "its the only good one" a laugh escapes your lips as you relate to him, you took the cold ice cream and thank him going to walk off "hey lady wait one more thing!" You turn round and see him writing his number onto a bingo ticket, he gives you the paper and mouths "call me" before walking off. Strange.

After buying your items and walking out the shop, you took the number out your pocket

"845 747-" "hey watch where your going!" The older man you bumped into shouted and you noticed you had dropped the paper "sorry!" You chased the pink bingo paper in the middle of the carpark, everyones eyes where on you as you ran -ass in the air- after a soaking wet bingo paper but looked away once you had finally caught it

You checked  the number incase it had been damaged, it had, the black ink on your hands and smudged down "shit!" You exclaim earning a "cover your ears Tommy, she clearly isnt one with god" from an elder woman near by.

The sky got dark and you still held the peice of paper in your hand. Sitting on the couch, tv on in the background and the plasticity paper slotted between your fingers as if it had been cemented. No matter how hard you tried you couldnt make sense of it

"And for tonights bingo! Number one.... 45 Number two... 12...."

Wait. You look at the bingo ticket again.

'45  12  66   70  06'

"Number three 66"

Yes.

"Number four 70"

Okay.

"And for the last number of the night..... six!!!"

You jump up and celebrate as if you where sat with your friends, fists flung in the air and the pure look of joy on your face. "Fuck it" you say calling your friends "fancy a drink?"

5 friends and 5 excuses later you where left alone, the joy of wining far gone. Might aswell go drinking yourself?

You arive at a small pub to have a few ciders and go home, no intention of getting shit faced. The bar desk was sticky, it stank of beer and peanuts "hello lady, what can i do you for?" The bartender, jamie asked. He was a nice man, quite old and could not remember names for the life of him "just two cans of cider please jamie" he nodded and walked to get you your cans.

"Hey potato lady!" Your hopes got high, you turned feeling your face already blushed "hey! Oh.. hey" it was the guy with the shaved head and he sat with a girl with medium curly hair that had her face down onto the table, probably too drunk to stay awake. "What you doing here all alone?" You shrugged "didnt have anyone to come with" jamie placed your cider cans down and took in the change you had placed beforehand "thankyou my love" you nodded him off as you lifed your cans to the table the man was sitting at.

As you sat down you realised how drunk or high or whatever the man was, was. "The names o, steve-o" you tried to hide your cringe as much as you could, his face resembling a smoulder "my names y/n, nice to meet you" you put out your hand for him to shake but he couldnt manage to touch it, his hand swinging and swiping at anything but your hand "whos your lady friend?" You point to the strangely muscular woman who lay in her arms, raising your eyebrows. He goes silent and his eyes searched your face before a husky laughed escaped his lips "what? Is it your sister?" His laugh only grew stronger waking up the woma- wait "dude what" oh shes a man...

"Potato lady thinks your a girl!" The man looked around confused at who this 'potato lady' is "im so sorry!" You laughed out an apology making him smile too, his smile much more friendlier than

steve-os "hello mrs potato, my names chris. Now steve if you wouldnt mind im really sleepy" steve-o wiped the tears from his eyes and patted chris on the back .

"So back to business" he brought his nose up to a tissue and inhaled causing you to look at him in disgust.  He just looked you up and down "now my friend, ryan, was telling us he scored with a hottie and gave her his number. Why didnt you call him? I mean like.. like..." he zoned out and lay back in his chair leaving you to look around, confused. "Steve-o? Steve-o?" You nudged him and he sat up "what dude?" He looked more pissed "take my number and give it to ryan" he pulled out his phone and started stairing at it like it was changing shape "what the fuck dude, you do it" you slowly type your number into his phone and return it to him.

When you finally headed home you could barley sleep thinking about how eventful today had been...

For the ask game: 13, 29, 31, 33, 46 (ToT)~~~

13. What do you like about yourself?

I'm able to say no. I never knew this was a thing until several people praised about it from me and until a friend asked me to show her how I could do it.

I'm able to say no very easily, perhaps because I don't care what the other person is thinking. If I don't want to do something I just don't do it and that's it, I don't care if it makes others feel bad.

No, I'm not going to go have a drink with you just because you're my classmate. No, I don't want you to kiss me goodbye, or hug me, I don't want to have anything with you either. No, I won't lend you my pen because I've seen that you always lose everything the others lend you, next time be more responsible. No, I don't need you to walk me back home, I'm better off without you.

Apparently, for some reason some people find it difficult lmao

29. What are your comfort movies/shows?

Any series from my childhood! Especially Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon Generations. I loved Pokemon :') also Monster High. I think they were the only dolls that really conveyed good values.

31. A lyric that feels like it was written specifically for you/about you.

Oh No! by Marina, Hard to Love by Rosé.

If you are not very careful // your possessions will possess you // TV taught me how to feel // now real life has no appeal

You want all of me, I can't give that much // so don't fall too hard, 'cause I'm hard to love

And some random verses from Melanie Martinez songs. I don't usually feel identified with songs but these are the first ones that occurred to me!

33. An artwork that makes you feel things.

I've put several types of art here, because I couldn't choose just one :')

Saint Chapelle, Paris. The first time I saw it was in an art history class, years ago. I never regretted choosing that subject. It's simply beautiful, it seems to me one of the most beautiful works that have ever been created. The colors of the stained glass windows are wonderful and seem to transport you to another place. I'll not go into detail about how important this chapel is for the Christian world, since I'm not religious. A teacher told us that some artists gather there to try to take the colors of the stained glass windows on their canvases <3

The Kiss of Death. It's located in the Poblenou Cemetery in Barcelona. All the sculptures in the cemeteries give me a nostalgic and terrifying air at the same time. They make me feel so lost, yet calm, so contradictorily fascinated by them. I think this is one of my favorites.

The painting Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel. Do I need to explain something? It's one of the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen. I love the detail of his wing tips, like he's rotting or wasting away, his angry look is amazing and then there's his famous tear. If I could see it in real life I think I would cry.

When I was still in high school, a classical culture teacher told us that human beings were capable of crying when our eyes see something they consider beautiful. I cried with the landscapes of Your Name. I also cried with the whole movie, but that's not the point haha. I remember seeing the scenes in the sky and being so overwhelmed by them that I started crying :')

The Silence of the Lambs book, by Tomas Harris. Nobody can tell me that it's not a work of art. I read it a while ago and I have such good memories

The Pianist movie. Self explanatory. Simply one of the best movies ever made. Is beautiful. I always want to cry at the end :')

These panels in Shingeki no Kyojin. The first time I saw them, a chill ran through me. Even to this day, years after seeing them for the first time, they still inspire me with a strange feeling that mixes terror and sadness. These episodes of The Rumbling are so, so impressive

David Bowie's Starman. I don't know what it is about it, I don't even know why I like it. Every time I hear it I remember myself from years ago because at that time I couldn't stop humming it. I hummed it for a whole year every day without ever having heard it in its entirety for some unknown reason. After that year I decided to finish listening to it and I simply adore it

Don't stop me now by Queen. It's my favorite song of theirs. I have a strange association with this song, every time I hear it I think of freedom and airplanes because my brother used to listen to it every time he played airplane simulators. It's a strange association, I know. The final part is simply beautiful, Freddy's voice and the piano fading little by little with that hum. It's a work of art.

46. A simple pleasure from this week.

Already answered here! But I'll add study with my cat on my lap! It was so cold and she was warm :')

This is HYSTERICAL. FWIW, I immediately thought the round blue thing in the top image was the silver sphere from the 1984 movie "Starman" and the TV series the followed it in 1986. Yes, I'm Gen X and a huge fangirl of that obscure movie/show. See my AO3 for proof.

I never thought the round blue thing was a condom.

I love D&D and RPGs in general but am unfamiliar with "A Spy in Insengard." It sounds fun.

I do have sex, thankyouverymuch. 😂
