Battle of the Captains

Quarterfinals Poll 1

No antipropaganda on my polls please

Propaganda

I love him so much. He is my most favoritist sunshine child ever. He is 17 at the start and 19 post skip and is one of the most infamous pirate captains out there. He is not a hero. But he will fight to protect what is His. This includes objects as well as people. And honestly ideas too. None of his crew set out to be his crew but each would lay down their life for him, tho he 100% expects them to Fight for him (as he would and they would too). He is an idiot but he is going places! He doesn’t care about knowing anything extra, just the very basics of the goal and who is with/against him and who is a bystander. Boy is beautiful inside and out. Plus his greatest treasure (hat aside) is his freedom and that he is 100% willing to share with anyone he sees oppressed. Also, his ships are equally important and even thought Merry is no longer sailing, she deserves all the love. Just like how Sunny has yet to make her biggest contribution, but is still worthy of all the seas.

Janeway's the first female captain to be portrayed on a Star Trek series. Groundbreaking, badass. Extremely capable, gets her crew through challenges of isolation and various external threats and as yet uncharted regions of space. Loves coffee.

Quick update: no word yet on the fate of these 12 Star Trek episode designs submitted for print licensing. It's been a month since CBS received them via Redbubble but the site says reviews could take as long as 6+ weeks. Hopefully I'll get word soon! Fingers crossed!

Spider-man: The Animated Series, 104 (Feb. 18, 1995) - “Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous”

The Breakdown

Good news, folks! Pete is FINALLY gonna get some action with Felicia Hardy. The last time he tried to make a move he got cock-blocked by a Spider Slayer (we’ve ALL been there), but thankfully the last of those have been destroyed, so it's safe to say nothing's gonna get in the way this time. Anyways, just as Peter shows up at Felicia’s massive family mansion, he gets immediately cock-blocked by Dr. Octopus, who we are now meeting for the first time. The good Doctor proceeds to kidnap Felicia Hardy because he wants revenge on her mom. We discover that, Mrs. (Anastasia) Hardy once provided funding to one Dr. Otto Octavius, who was trying to create a cold fusion generator; but his progress was too slow, so she cut him off. Unable to continue his work safely, Otto followed the only sensible course of action left to him, and continued his work UNsafely. Shockingly, this resulted in an explosion that turned him into a supervillain instead of killing him. If you’re an actual person who has willingly chosen to read this blog entry about an old Spider-man cartoon, then you probably don’t need me to explain who Doctor Octopus is; but just in case you do, he’s basically got cybernetic tentacles grafted onto his spine now, and he didn’t before.

J. Jonah Jameson is a friend of the Hardy’s, and gets involved after being hand picked by Doc Ock to deliver the ransom. Sadly, the drop goes south when Peter butts in as Spider-man, and gets his ass handed to him. To make matters worse, Octavius takes Jonah captive, meaning double the ransom for double the hostages. Feeling a bit guilty for his royal screw up, Peter offers to deliver the next ransom payment without any of that superhero nonsense. This second attempt goes pretty smoothly until the Doc refuses to let Felicia and Jonah go free, since he’s now demanding more money (a good financier is hard to find). Everyone knows that two hostages is company, but three’s a crowd, so Dr. Octopus opts to violently launch Peter through an open window (and presumably to his death). Thankfully this allows him time to change into Spider-man so he can save the day, although not without incident (there’s a whole thing with a rocket that almost incinerates Felicia and JJ, but don’t worry it all works out).

The Verdict

Another enjoyable romp that faithfully re-introduces one of Spider-man’s more prominent rogues. There’s nothing about this interpretation of Doc Ock’s origin that I actively dislike, although I do find it a little too convenient how he’s independently tied to both the Hardy’s AND Peter Parker (check my Additional Observations below for more on that). Where this episode really shines is the action sequences, which are well animated, and deftly capture Spidey’s smooth acrobatic movements. In fact, the animation is so good that future octopus-centric episodes would come to reuse much of it as a cost cutting measure (a practice that this series would gain a reputation for).

3 stars (out of 5)

Additional Observations

Dr. Octopus joins The Lizard as the second villain on this show who has pre-existing ties to Peter’s personal life. In the comics most of Spidey’s initial villain roster were comprised of individuals who didn’t know Peter at all (or at least not until after they’d crossed paths with him as Spider-man), with the most notable exception being the green goblin. Even as a kid I always preferred it that way: A) Because it always seemed a bit more probable, and I was a nerd who cared about such things. B) It made the exceptions to that rule a bit more meaningful. Oh well, this is a kids show after all, and I can appreciate that the writers needed to take some story-telling shortcuts to accommodate the show’s runtime.

Young Peter's history with Octavius: We’re shown that Otto Octavius once ran a science camp that Peter attended as a boy. There, Octavius encouraged Peter in his own scientific pursuits, after the other kids tease him for causing a small chemical explosion. It’s nice to see young people being mentored in the sciences, but I find Otto Octavius’ inspirational advice somewhat dubious. Otto states, verbatim: “Their laughter is meaningless. Science is the important thing, it justifies ALL that we do in its service,” which is quite a concerning statement coming from a guy with a German accent. I might otherwise be inclined to argue that the writers had intended for this to demonstrate how his ethics were always questionable, but the scene plays out to warm inspirational music. Also, in the VERY next line Peter wonders aloud “What could have changed him?” Um. I dunno Pete, it kinda seems like his current actions and behaviour are all consistent with his previously established worldview, and you just overlooked it because he was being nice to you during an emotionally fragile time in your life.

Also, if you’re going to give children access to potentially dangerous chemical compounds (which I would advocate against, but that’s just me), the proper use of PPE should probably be more strongly enforced.

Oh, and don’t worry folks, Felicia is still down to give Peter another chance at that date. Pete’s wallcrawling typically gets in the way of his love life, so it’s always nice when he gets an occasional win.

Although, you may be wondering what has become of Mary Jane who was introduced triumphantly in the final moments of the previous episode. All I can say is that she’s not here this week, nor were the writers interested in addressing that subplot, but then I guess contending with metallic-tentacle-wielding psychopaths is probably a higher priority. At any rate, believe MJ be back with us next episode.

This probably sounds like a weird question but it's something that's been on my mind for a long time.

I'm not sure if your familiar with TAS but the last episode "Counter clock Incident" established that Starfleet had a mandatory retirement age of 75. Do you see a logical reason for that? I know the US military has a mandatory Retirment age (which I think is 60). I just think the mandatory age in the 23rd century should be higher than 75--at least ten years higher).

I love any kind of Trek question, @marymoss1971! 💕 Thanks for asking!

I think you’re probably right that the US military is, once again, a model for Starfleet. (Whoa, that’s a troubling sentence.)

I’m actually against any mandatory retirement age. I have a friend whose father fell into a depression after being forced to retire from his job as a commercial airline pilot. (Currently 65 years old in the US, source: FAA website.) Imagine feeling like you’re at the top of your game, good at your job, in part due to decades of experience, and you’re told a number you can’t control means your work is over. It’s cruel.

Now, I’m certainly in favor of tests for eyesight and reaction times and all that, especially for pilots (and many more occupations). But people are different and a set age for everyone doesn’t make sense to me, especially when we consider Starfleet and how aging could work differently for different species or in different environments. Not to mention things like time travel and time reversals and transporter-induced de-aging and all the rest.

So, yeah, I think the logical reason for the mandatory retirement age is production-side ageism. But, in-universe, if I want to pretzel my Trekkie brain over it (which I usually enjoy doing), I would say Starfleet might want to ensure a place for new recruits or to transition older service members into teaching/training over exploration or any number of options.

Also, I think it’s worth noting that Tuvok’s age in Voyager (much less in Picard) is proof Starfleet either rolled back the requirement at some point or, at minimum, used age equivalents per species. Personally, I hope for the former.

Thanks for asking, @marymoss1971! 💕

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "The Unvanquished," episode 23 of the fourth season of Laramie (original air date March 12, 1963).

Kelley plays one of a trio of brothers who have been committing thefts and blaming them on the Arapaho who are moving through the area on the way to a new reservation. When one of the brothers is accidentally killed by one of the migrants, whose father turns himself in to spare his son, the surviving brothers try to stir the town up into a lynch mob in the hopes that their own crimes will go undiscovered.

Other Trek connections: Joyce Perry, who co-wrote this episode, also wrote "The Time Trap," the twelfth episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series.
