“Chain of Command” was not the best episode, there’s no getting around that. It was especially bad for Starscream fans, who were rightly upset over the writers’ steering him into full coward mode and using him for comic relief, which was especially jarring after the competence and courage he showed in “Rebellion.”

Daughter: What was that little Beyonce move with his neck and shoulders? He might as well have snapped his fingers in Z formation!

We re-watched the move 3 times, collapsing in fits of giggles, before continuing on with the episode. (Please, someone with mad skills, gif that moment!) So, the episode was not a total loss in our house.

Starscream used to have striped, silver-tipped stilettos!

Starscream is so fabulous. And the animation is so detailed. I love the way his right ankle is cocked, as if a little unsteady on his heels. The animators know exactly what they’re doing.

that stance

He had a habit of doing that. So fabulous.

Every child should grow up to be fabulous.

My understanding of queer is a term that desires that you don’t have to present an identity card before entering a meeting. Heterosexuals can join the queer movement. Bisexuals can join the queer movement. Queer is not being lesbian. Queer is not being gay. It is an argument against lesbian specificity: that if I am a lesbian I have to desire in a certain way. Or if I am a gay I have to desire in a certain way. Queer is an argument against certain normativity, what a proper lesbian or gay identity is.

Skeletor was a homo. Okay, maybe I’m guilty of a little projection here, but from my perspective as a gay Asian kid who was desperate for recognition in the world of ’80s television, which was my life, this was my interpretation.

Interpret this how you will.

True, I may have tried to assassinate him a few times. And cheated on him with just about everyone. Including Soundwave. And Red Alert. But a femme? Never!

I watched the preview for Transformers: Prime “Crossfire” tonight, but my mind stalled at this.

This is worth a full read. It’s a funny, spot-on summary of Mulan’s gender-bending calisthenics.

p.s. Having come out not long before Mulan was released, the song “Reflection” still makes me misty.
