  1. The thing is not that they are impossibly hard to put together, it is that there was no excuse for their being so many parts. Those who have been putting game miniatures together have an expectation of how many parts a mini of this size requires and the RT ones are way too high. That said I have seen painted up models and they are excellent when finished.
  2. Back to the show I give my capsule review of the first two episodes. Episode one - boring till the last half hour. The kind of episode you can only get away with by being a spinoff (maybe...) Episode two - Much improved.
  3. Just watched the final episode. Although this season was, in general, a step up from the last couple seasons(*) that last couple episodes were major stinkers. (*) - This is due to them dumping the cliche alien baby, take me to your leader, and other scifi cliche baggage.
  4. Of course they do, NO company is going to come right out and say they DID violet the terms of service.
  5. Misa - one of my favorite characters of all time. A very nicely done rendition of a people I actually know, forceful in professional relationships and demure in personal relationships.
  6. OK, it gets a +1 like for that.
  7. At least it has an honest name "Wreck". FX were very nice but not enough to put up with the dialog.
  8. Seems spot on to me too.
  9. I don't know why but when I see that alien all I can think is that it is a hairless Rigel... http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/farscape/images/1/19/Rygel9.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070118130659
  10. Saw an ad for Star Wars last weekend at the Imax theater. Same ad I had seen online before BUT seeing it on that huge screen and hearing the opening fanfare through theater speakers - I was a kid again back in 77...
  11. Not sure if it is in reference to me but I have two adult offspring (nearly wrote children) in college - which is a major part of the reason I have fewer funds for entertainment then I would like.
  12. If I were going to Japan I would try and catch the show at a theater - even though I do not speak a lick of Japanese. Other than that, I can barely eek out the funds to buy the disks as is.
  13. Last time I saw Roger Moore he was looking like a stand in for the Stay Puft Marshmallow man. Looking forward to Spectre. I just hope they start putting more classic Bond touches into the movie, the more "stark" features that added to the movies after 9/11 are just not what I'm looking for in lite entertainment.
  14. Watch it! My favorite Anime since Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Better then Macross:Frontier (for me, but I am a Yamato convert to Anime to begin with). Awesome news on series 2. Can not wait to see the fleet battles from that series done in modern techniques. Finally on the show itself, I had forgotten a number of things from near the end of the show that tied in so well with the Ark of the Stars movie.
  15. Just finished watching the series again, still great the third time through...
  16. I thought he sold out. It is not like he needed the money. He should have taken the same deal that the Mary Poppins author took... (if he really wanted to have any say in it that is)
  17. Plus is OVAs though. Take a mishmash of SDFM, 7, and Frontier. (and here endeth what little joke there was - back to news)
  18. Thinking a little more, there are three OFFICIAL series that could have combined characters... (leaving out Macross 2 and OVAs)
  19. Further opinion on Dark Matter. It is getting pretty good. They are filling in some interesting background details on each character now with some interesting plot twists thrown into the mix.
  20. Just saw Ark of the Stars, not exactly what I was expecting but excellent none the less. Quick recap without giving away anything - take the hokey existential bits from the original Yamato and make it excellent - and you have Ark of the Stars.
  21. It also appears to be available from Ebay, as with all things ebay make sure it is legit... (this seller has a 100% rating but still do more research, etc...) http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Space-Battleship-Yamato-2199-Hoshi-Meguru-Hakobune-Blu-ray-BCXA-967-Japan-/161767697498?hash=item25aa1b2c5a
  22. Correct, Captains can negotiate deals but they are not ratified till it gets back to the entire government.
