Do you think God stays in heaven because he, too, fears what he has created? - Steve Buscemi in a Spy Kids movie

The first four Trek series are all represented, though TNG is the most prominent. Here’s a listical.

Wonderful series, though. It was doing inter-episode continuity and story arcs back in a 90’s Disney Afternoon cartoon.

Incredible show. Gargoyles and ExoSquad were the cartoons of my early adolescent years.

I wondered why I was seeing so much Gargoyles lately!

It would be really cool if they used some of the Trek cast again, but that's probably just a dream. They do all seem to like voice acting gigs though.

Adding 30 years to a cast that was already in their 30s/40s when the original aired was hard enough with Picard, when the people were supposed to look like people. And that series wrapped last year.

Curious to see what they do with the remake, but folks aren't getting any younger.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago

They could have a lot of the same cast. All the Gargoyles would be CGI anyway and I don’t think it really matters how old any of the human characters are.

No Jeffrey Combs means it's not in universe.

I have no idea who decided a 90s kid show should have writing that good but they made the right call. Xanatos is one of the best written villains ever.

The animated Batman series was also ridiculously good.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The episode "Heart of Ice" won an Emmy for writing. That good.

[–] flatplutosociety@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

What I love the most about that episode is that Mr. Freeze was a total joke villain before B:TAS. They took a guy whose entire existence was just dumb ice puns in non-serious stories and they did... that.

[–] yukichigai@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

As a child, going from the 60s Batman series to that was almost whiplash inducing. I did not expect animated Batman to give me the feels. I did not expect animated Batman to honestly scare the crap out of me.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

Batman brave and the bold is fantastic. My kid grew up watching that show

There's a reason the Xanatos Gambit (CW: TVTropes) is named after him.

Didn't Micheal Dorn also voice someone on Gargoyles? I know I watched the shit out of this show but I barely remember anything specific from it, which is wild because I loved it.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep! Plus Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, and Levar Burton.

He was an actor most known for his role as Bob Wheeler on Night Court, but that’s not important right now.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"Puck" - but I can't remember the character names all that well.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

OMG I can't believe I forgot that! He was fucking AMAZING as Puck.

[–] AngryHumanoid@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

Yes he played a couple smaller characters. Also: Michael*

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Thank you I’m not alone in that regard. I used to rush home to watch it and fight for the remote and can’t tell you a damned thing I saw.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

He was Coldstone, the cyborg gargoyle.

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I never got to watch it as a kid because fundie parents, but my wife made me watch a few eps as an adult and I gotta say it holds up remarkably well.

I haven't watched it since the 90s, so I was wondering if it did. I may have to pass it on to my next generation.

[–] bbbhltz@beehaw.org 7 points 11 months ago

I can hear Riker in my head. Weird.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Damn that's a hell of a cast on that show.

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

It holds up

If you think this post is based on a true story…you’re right.
