    I haven't seen the expanse yet. Is this ship particularly formidable?
  4. Podtastic
    Tempting.

    That's sad. I find the kindle and e-books so useful coz: you can read your books in the daytime without worrying about them turning orange you can take almost 100 books with you on holiday, on business etc you can download immediately without having to wait and pay for customs and shipping no having to hold the book in weird positions as you get tired and it gets darker no trying to find space for all your books, defending against silverfish, and lugging/sweeping around heavy containers etc Of course there is a downside to e-books: DRM (but there are workarounds and some books are sold DRM free馃榿) your kindle/ hard drive crashing or getting a virus your kindle getting smashed/lost/stolen falling in the washing tub due to an improbable chain of accidents you accidentally deleting something etc

    Macross figures

    Podtastic replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    That's a lot of detail for a Minmei figure. Any non-idol figures on the horizon by this company?
  10. Podtastic
    Still no sign of the Vriltwhai Kridanik figure they wasted everyone's time displaying, but not delivering, all those years ago?

    Indeed. It went from "Its boring, there's nothing happening" to "Am I watching Star Wars this is so good?" from the end of season 3 onwards. The conflict involving all the different alien factions made it a visual treat for a change. Undiscovered Country is the best of that list. But I wonder about the red-pink Klingon blood inconsistency thing. Was there ever an in universe explanation? OTH I see the momentous events balancing out all the "character heavy" episodes and preventing them from making the series a drag. Ultimately the same thing I guess. But not for Janeway's lousy decision making and the endless technobabble? BTW as a "lifelong Star Trek fan" do you know if there is a novelisation of the "Scorpion" episodes? My Voyager interest is centered around Species 8472 and the Hirogen. For all its quaint and dated effects, and lack of Troopers and Starfighters, I was still able to enjoy TOS to a certain extent. So is it true that Roddenbury was a bloody commie? The Federation Utopia seems a lot like the communist utopian fantasy (LIE) sold to the gullible and naive. (Its beyond me how anyone can be conned into believing that losing their property rights and autonomy could ever be a good thing.)

    That's nice. Hope they are followed by some Genetic Infantrymen, ABC Warriors and Imperial Rottweilers.
  13. Podtastic
    The Battle of Wolf 359 isnt your usual Star Trek episode. Sadly neither was Scorpion, Flesh and Blood, Sacrifice of Angels etc.

    Sent you a message cap.

    Now when I read this with my new glasses it says: DO NOT DEVIATE FROM CANON 馃槺

    A remarkably interesting thing for the Federation to do. Isn't their normal strategy to bore everyone to death with peaceful diplomatic away missions to wrinkled nose alien eunuch cultures? Or to flap on in tedious technobabble about space anomalies as if anyone gives a a damn about these things? I vote we replace the Federation with Species 8472 as they were in "Scorpion".馃榿
  17. Podtastic
    Sure. Once I get home from the office. Ok its between 193 and 200 mm in length.

    Its much of a muchness, given that nothing is shipping from Hong Kong until the CCP decides it suits them anyway.

    The head of the small pic in the top right corner above looks right to me. This weirdly simplistic rounded observatory turret below does not.

    If there is I've never heard of it. Better be DVD or Blu-Ray. I don't want to have wasted my time watching a fart in the wind. Which is why hollyweird and others get away with butchered live action versions of comic classics. They have tabula rasa they can sell their inferior garbage to. I get it, however... Are fans really that lazy nowadays? Back in the day half the fun of comic collecting was tracking down the back issues to learn what you did not know about your favourite series. Now we have the internet which makes that "homework" not only quick and easy, but also free.

    Hardly surprising given that Tolkien was Christian and suffused his work with Christian themes, such as the concepts of absolute good and evil. The portrayal of good and evil matches the Christian conceptualisation. Evil is seemingly very powerful at first and many succumb to it, but ultimately its a cowardly and spiteful perversion that ultimately falls before righteous judgement. Most obviously, you surely cannot miss that Eru Illuvatar is modelled on God and that Melkor/Morgoth on Lucifer/Satan. CS Lewis, whom Tolkien was highly instrumental in converting from atheism to the Christian faith, modelled Aslan on God/Jesus.
