    A mother-in-law who likes you?! Doing something right @Papa Rat!

    In any normal situation, Miyazaki would have been a fully functional training ship, able to simulate any damage or catastrophe that the teaching moment demanded, something like the holo-ship from Insurrection, if not just a holo-deck sitting safely on a planet. A better situation would have been the 'kids' going on a free day to Risa or someplace and just getting abducted.

    I keep forgetting he's an alien. As to going aboard a derelict ship, I'd imagine it would have been a lot safer to just stay on Athena and use a holoprogram... In fact, they could stay on Earth and use holoprograms for everything, esp for first years.

    Was looking for something to watch this weekend (well, my weekend...) and I came across Alchemy of Souls on Netflix. A South Korean fantasy show that ran for two seasons starting '22. It's swords and sorcery, with the main plot about being able to shift ones soul into another's body, though not without 'problems,' such as possibly becoming an insane, spirit-sucking monster. Our main character is Naksu, an unparalleled assassin who escapes death by accidentally jumping into a blind woman's body. After that, she meets up with Jang Uk, a mage whose powers have never been unlocked and his other lordling friends as they try to unravel who is behind the newest spate of killer shifters, while also protecting Naksu, who is also a shifter. Very good story and character interactions, and nice action scenes and special effects. Sometimes the story tries too hard to push a bit of comedy, but I can forgive it seeing how everything else is working great. I'm still having trouble with the names though. And that the main 'hook,' about an assassin mistakenly going into a blind woman's body, is Nurfed at the start, seeing as Naksu, in the body of Mu Deok can then suddenly see. I'm up to episode 6 now and it has not been explained yet, though I think I have an idea how it happened. I do wish they had kept her blind, though. Anyway, the first season, or Part 1, is twenty episodes long. 🤯 And each episode is about an hour...🤯🤯It's going to take me a little bit to get through it. But if it stays as good as it has been, I think I see a DVD box set purchase in the future. I'm watching subtitled, as dubbed just sounds too weird.

    Almost stopped watching this one. Too much cliched 'romance' going on. It was only near the end, when the 'twist' happened, that it actually started to get good. Such as Giamatti's character when he finally drops the campy-villain vibe. I was interested in going onto a derelict ship... As for the Furies... I'd say I hope they are going to get better, but as @Roy Focker stated above, without active feedback, they're are probably not.

    Yep, just like that!

    Minerva is a cool looking ship @Chas. Very fighter-like for her size.

    That Tucano looks great @electric indigo! The amount of intricate detail on that are incredible @Papa Rat!
  11. Thom
    Ah, that's why. I barely remember watching those.

    I must have missed that EP, or have forgotten completely. Was this while on Kobol? Anyway, I imagine it would be a pig in atmosphere.

    Very nice with the grime in the sweeps!

    Dang it! I know have a few pics of it completed somewhere. Must be lost in the ones and zeros... Anyway, here's a pic of my kitbash Viper before it was finished. 'd take new pics, but it has since been taken apart for a indefinite refurbishment.

    Nah, that was a chosen filming 'style.' There have been other shows in the same era, and before, with dodgier CG that kept nice smooth pans and shots. And if it wasn't 'good enough' then they should have gone to practical. Man, just imagein if they had made lit, studio scale models of the Nu Galactica, Pegasus and Baseships.
