I think this Trek thing has warped your mind, Major. They've been talking about the activity about Mt St Helens for months. Hell, didn't this all start last fall, maybe last summer? This isn't a surprise to anyone. If anything, its almost a non-event.

Its because its not a sequel. We all wanted one, and what we got instead was Aim for the Top "2005". Once again, I think its too early to say whether it is good or bad.

One without spoilers would be nice.

The thing is, Graham, is that 2 is exactly what the original was, a homage piece to the 15 or so years of anime that proceeded it. It has everything we've seen come and go since the original came out, including Sailor Moon's talking cat. Its basically one big anime cliche. That's all it is mean to be. I think all of us were looking for a sequel to the original, when this is infact nothing more than a modren re-imaging. I can't say whwether it is good or bad yet, I've only seen one episode. I'm waiting for the second to be subbed, and well, really waiting to see the entire thing before passing judgement. I gave Macross 7 50 episodes or whatever of whatching before declaring it crap, I can give Aim for the Top 2 a few more OVA's.

It was working when I posted it. From what it says on the page, it sounds like they've been having problems with it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7132927/ MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. - Mount St. Helens released a towering plume of ash Tuesday, its most significant emission in months but one that seismologists did not believe heralded any major eruption. The volcano has vented ash and steam since last fall, when thousands of small earthquakes marked a seismic reawakening of the 8,364-foot mountain. Late afternoon television footage showed the plume billowing thousands of feet into the air, then drifting slowly to the northeast. The ash explosion happened around 5:25 p.m., about an hour after a 2.0 magnitude quake rumbled on the east side of the mountain, said Bill Steele, coordinator of the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network at the University of Washington. Steele said he did not believe the explosion had increased the risk of a significant eruption and noted that recent flights over the volcano’s crater did not reveal high levels of gases.

Its the same thing that has been going on for months. The 1980 eruption, this isn't. Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam

Its it just me, or is that Willem Defoe sitting behind her in that picture?

Krull!!! How could I forget!?

Any female who tells you that The Matrix is "cool" needs to be dumped immediately. Chances are she is either 15, or has an IQ under 80. Or both. I agree. I nominate Duke Togo for relationship advisor to Macross World Don't ever get engaged to a girl in college.

I remember I used to have this argument with a friend of mine... who would win, Blue Thunder or Airwolf? I was always the Blue Thunder fan. Of course, the Firefox would kill them both!

The topics are long since gone, if not on the old board. This subject was settled long ago.

You can refuse all you want, Area, the fact is that its true. It was revealed in one of the very last episodes. Accord to IMDB.com, it was in the episode "Good Knight MacGyver: Part 2". Oh, lookie here, you have a link to the IMDB MacGyver page which states his full name on it.

Yes, I am sure about that. Your example is poor at best, if not completely off topic.

Prime!

You forgot to mention the flattened roll of duct tape he always has on him! Hell, it should be listed under "Cast". Don't you know, MacGyver can fix ANYTHING with duct tape. Little know fact: MacGyver's first name is Angus.

Macross 7 is genreally a love it or hate it show. People have very strong opinions about it. The "hate its" are just a lot louder, as is usual. not louder just more of them No, definitely louder. Judging by past MacrossWorld polls, I vote for "more of them".

Not at all, Major. But don't think I didn't get a chuckle out of you thinking so. Actually, I was rather expecting it... If trekkies are one thing, its predictible. Your response it pretty much along the same lines of why everyone laughs when we realize you can speak klingon, and you really don't get what's so funny.

Wouldn't it be better to go with an 'A-Z' theme to encompass all of Anime and Sci Fi. Thus I suggest: - 'From Akira to Zardoz' Graham YES!!! YES!!! The genius of Connery! ZARDOZ

Preach on, Father Jack, preach on!

I prefer the original Dune movie over the mini-series, and I've read the book. The mini-series just looked so... cheap. The movie was just so rich, it had so much character.

Oh, come on now, who doesn't like Gunbuster? Hell, I might even like Gunbuster more than Macross. I probably like it better than any other anime. Akira to Star Wars works too.

Time Bandits and The City of Lost Children... good stuff, definitely recommend them.

I don't really know if you can call The Matrix "popular" anymore. I think people have seen it for what it is, alot of hype that went nowhere. Episode III will still pull down between 300 and 400 million. The DVD sales were huge. Star Wars still gets alot of attention in the media. To say no one cares about Star Wars anymore is a tad silly.
