Actually, the comics did revisit Sigma Iotia II. They adopted a new culture based on Kirk’s time while retaining elements of gangster society, but this was the post-Generations period of the TNG crew.

STEVE AUSTIN PUNCHES A SHARK WITH HIS BARE BIONIC HANDS! They even get the sound effect right!
The 1972 novel Cyborg by author Martin Caidin led to a TV movie and series under the more familiar name The Six Million Dollar Man. The show would air for three seasons, from 1973-1978 if you count the pilot movies, and produced a spin-off called The Bionic Woman, not to be confused with namesakes from more recent years. We even got a bionic dog out of the other show, plus a set of reunions movies that further expanded the bionic roster.
I was going to do a My Favorite Intros on the show, but after seeing it…it really isn’t. It’s not terrible but neither intro is something I’d be jonesing to see if I wasn’t already interested in the show. What I didn’t expect, and it’s certainly not the first time for this site, I ended up learning that the intro I remember isn’t the only intro produced for this show, and the other one would not have reached any type of iconic…because it is dated as heck! There may be a reason I never saw this intro, but now that I have you get to as well.
Or you could not click on the video, but don’t worry. It isn’t some kind of nightmare inducing earworm of death. It’s just very dated. Additionally we’ll look at the more familiar intro for Steve Austin’s adventures and that of the sister show about his sometimes girlfriend. So that at least should be worth sticking around.

Ever wonder why the Game Theory YouTube channel is called The Game Theorists, plural? In the days before algorhythms forced YouTubers to not share channels, there were multiple contributors to said channel. There were multiple shows, each tackling game theorizing in different ways. One focused on the science, one on culture, one on crossovers, and so on. When things changed, channel master Matthew “MatPat” Patrick believed the other contributors had better chances with their own channels, and thus this one became exclusively Game Theory and other things MatPat wanted to do, before starting three unrelated channels of theorizing.
One of these projects, done in association with YouTube’s failed attempt to be like Netflix and Amazon Prime by creating original content…ignoring ALL the original content on YouTube they weren’t part of because YouTube has forgotten what YouTube is, was Game Lab, some of which still requires a YouTube Premium subscription to watch. Another show he worked on was Reality Check. Both shows were about allowing himself and other gamers a chance to experience the events of a video game in the real world, like a first-person shooter versus and actual (paintball) gun battle.
Now that MatPat is leaving the theory quartet he started behind he went back to this concept for one last Reality Check, comparing actual tanks to the MMO World Of Tanks…which he also so as an opportunity to bring the former contributors together one last time, as a sort of “where are they now” reunion…with tanks. See if you recognize any of these guys (some of which have shown up here multiple times), though I’ll link to their new channels after the video.
