I think anyone's who's ever seen Katari Damaci can testify that not only are the Japanese frickin' wierd, but they're definetly on some of the nastiest drugs ever..

Reminds me of a sci-fi story. Aliens land in New York (and elsewhere) to invade and conquer Earth. They think it will be easy, they find no evidence of anti-grav flight, or FTL capacity. They land in Central Park, give some local nobels (politicans) a round of buck-and-ball to cow the natives and f...

Actually, I never saw the show (it was cancelled before I got a chance) but in Serenity one of my favorite seens was the part where the Alliance and Reaver fleets are hurtling towards each other. No sound what-so-ever but it works...the seer weight if what is about with no sound? Perfect. They get ...

Allow me to take a moment to be peeved that being aggressive and even violent is called "patriarchal." Anyone that thinks that women are the "gentler sex" and that the world would be a kinder, gentler place under the rule of women has never, ever read a history book. "Bloody" Queen Mary. Cleopatra....

I agree with your assessment, Wanderer. Furthermore, there have always been a few thematic similarities between Jesus and Superman, not the least of which is the "for he so loved them, he sent them his only son" meme. Back when he started out in the Golden Age, he was a lot more Patriarchical, actua...

THE DALEKS ARE THE SUPERIOR RACE!!


...Seriously, Daleks are my all-time favorite Evil Alien Species. There's just something about those cosmic dustbins.. And the new series actually makes them look badass, too...

I don't mind that you like it. I just can't stand it personally. I dislike NewBSG on many other grounds, not the least of which is the grimness of the storyline, including making Baltar a member of the fleet's leadership council, and riddling the fleet with Cylon infiltrators... I pretty much gave ...

FTL drives basically come in three general flavors.. Hyperdrive work by shifting starships into "Hyperspace", a supposed alternate universe with slightly different laws of physics which allow ships to travel faster then light. Jump Drives bypass the impossibility of going faster then light simply by...

Of course, there's always the Blake's 7 ending: "everyone gets lined up against the wall before the firing squad and we fade to black with the weapons' fire".. Dark series, dark ending.. Of course, this is assuming the Feds are portrayed as "Mwahahaha" evil villains.. 'Could be (not likely, but coul...

Madmoonie wrote:Which Galatica? The 70's one or the modern one?

I think he means the 70s Galactica, because the new one doesn't have a lot of fancy alien worlds, and is overall a lot darker in scope. Too dark for me, actually. I don't watch it.

It was Lord Reefa that the Narns killed in 'No Hiding Place'......I loved how Londo set him up. Londo rocks.. An amazing story of just how far a man is willing to go for patriotism, and then for redemption. "You may not believe this, G'Kar, but all I ever wanted is what is right for my world. I'm a...

Babylon 5 is just as good as Firefly, but in a different way.. B5 was designed as an epic from the start, and the story was truly epic in scope, with epic characters who do great things. Firefly, meanwhile, is a more (ironically) down-to-earth story about more accessible characters who don't do grea...

A happy ending in the W40K Universe? How is that even possible in such a dystopian, maltheistic, nihilistic universe?

To Rokas: Huh, I did not know that. Ok, point made.

Al the A: I don't care, it's still stupid. Also, a military may be influanced by idiocy, but engineers are generally a conservative lot, even in places run by idjits. I mean, the Russians made some crap, but even they wouldn't build a ship that was wider than it was long! There's a difference betwe...

Any other ideas? 4) Rather then surrender or let himself get caught, Nip and crew, finally cornered and outgunned, decide to go down fighting, and kamikaze the Rebel Cry into the Federation Capital ship sent after them.. They die, but in the process not only deny the Imperials the prize they were a...

I think they basically used the "Flash Gordon" rules of rocketry.. "The trip takes as long as dramatically necessary."

Mal:*later in the episode*....I'm going to the Special Hell... My favorite Mal moment comes from the first episode shown on Fox, where Mal is talking to the captured thugs sent by the mob boss who wants them dead.. (Paraphrased due to poor memory) Mal: Ok, I need you to send your boss a message.. T...

Ah yes. Foam rubber Yoda was MUCH better than lightsaber fighting Yoda. "I am a puppet. From beneath the floor, the man does control me, yes!" Nostalgia really clouds judgements of quality. The old Puppet Yoda might not have seemed like much, true. He certainly didn't seem like a warrior. But remem...
