Talk:Prime Directive issue 4

OK. We can have a full list of what Optimus 2007 says to Letterman in a top 10 list, but we can't have a mention of Linkara riffing this and the next comic? WHAT? It is plenty relevant to the page, given that, I dunno, an internet celebrety of sizable viewership decided to give this comic a once over? Seriously, did I just write it down wrong, should I have put up a different section, what? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.245.83.74 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

If we mentioned every instance of someone famous talking about something Transformers-related, the server would implode. Should we mention every time Optimus Prime appears on Robot Chicken or Family Guy? -- Semysane 20:21, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

Optimus on Letterman is an official appearance of Optimus Prime. A fan review is a fan review, regardless of awesomeness. --ItsWalky 20:25, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

So do we have to take off the link to the Angry Video Game Nerd's review of Mystery of Convoy? --NCZ 20:28, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

Plus, if we WERE to (shudder) include "internet celebrities", at what point do we draw the line on "sizable viewership" for "internet celebrities"? I never heard of this guy before this review. We'd be opening the door for every video blogger to demand links to their shitty youtube videos. This is why we have the cutoff at "official". --M Sipher 20:31, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

OK. Then with that, then we should remove the Angry Video Game Nerd's link as well. He's just an internet celebrity as well, not really all that official. Also, plenty of people know of Linkara, just as many people know of That Guy with the Glasses, or AVGN. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.245.83.74 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}. 20:36, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

I think with AVGN's review of "Convoy", "Convoy" isn't quite as known in the West, so his review would probably have to be one of the few exceptions. Linkara's reviews on #4 and #5, on the flip side, are on materials that are a bit more prominent - compare "Convoy"'s 1986 to #4's 2002, plus their country of origin. --Lonegamer78 20:51, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

That, and it'd probably be required to review a video game more in depth, which the Nerd does. I guess because Linkara already covers much of the same ground as the wiki, it wouldn't be as informative. --NCZ 21:02, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

Hey, if we can't link to Linkara, there's no reason to link to Matt Moylan's terrible web comic from the FIBRIR page. --76.14.180.164 21:42, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

A: In that case, it's a one-panel joke rather than a 30-minute review, B: Matt Moylan has worked on Transformers, and C: We already discussed this in May! I thought we'd all forgotten that! --NCZ 21:45, 3 October 2010 (EDT)
