Talk:Space (episode)

I kind of want to make an article about actual outer space now, simply so it can have a parenthetical and be "Space (the place)". --Steve-o 04:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Total Body Replacement?

So, why was my plot synopsis replaced in its entirety, without explanation?

Here's The Diff

Was there something in particular wrong with it? JW 14:05, 28 May 2010 (EDT)

In the absence of any comment, I'm going to revert the plot synopsis back to the original. Dissent? JW 16:52, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

I think I altered it, didn't I? That's probably because I was doing the entire Cybertron cartoon at the time, and wanted some consistency in the plot summaries across all 52 articles. The way I tend to write those sorts of things, typically, is as a little sorta-kinda "story" itself, whereas your version was more of a scene-by-scene ("This happens. Then this happens. Then this happens."), in the process doing something I'm really not fond of: a large collection of tiny one- and two-sentence paragraphs, sometimes describing one scene with one sentence and making it once paragraph on its own, sometimes breaking another scene into several paragraphs at no particularly logical points. So, that's probably why I wrote it fresh. Nothin' against ya, just had a project rolling and was looking for consistency. - Chris McFeely 17:00, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

I understand that reasoning, but it's profoundly disrespectful to the contributors who have come before you to erase their contribution just so it'll all be in your style. You don't get to "own" Cybertron. JW 17:11, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

It's not that. He's maintaining the flow of style that's used within each sections' write-up for consistency so it doesn't jar readers. And the scene-by-scene style is a bit, well, lackluster. --Lonegamer78 17:15, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

I can see how you could feel that way, and I certainly apologise if that's how I've come across, but disrespect was never my intention. It's just that, as Lonegamer says, all 51 other articles were going to look, read and sound a certain way, you know? It was not an attempt to make the Cybertron articles "mine" - it's just that they were going to turn out that way because I happened to write be the one who wrote them. - Chris McFeely 17:19, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

Aliens... from outer space.

Did the show ever address the issue of why it was so important for Hot Shot and Red Alert to stay away from the natives? Or more to the point, is there anything about them that would actually make them stand out in any way from the locals? Couldn't Hot Shot just be some dude that Breakdown's never met before? Or did they cover this somehow? -- Repowers 20:57, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

In Galaxy Force, Optimus was rather gung-ho on "no interaction with the natives", making me think that he didn't want to drag the natives into something that wasn't their problem. As for making them stand out, completely different culture is one big flag - I'm Chinese and can speak the two main languages, but I have little to no clue regarding the local customs IN China. --Lonegamer78 22:02, 17 June 2010 (EDT)

Some kind of... uh... prime directive... perhaps? (I hate myself.) -hx 09:12, 18 June 2010 (EDT)
