    Lock it.

    I will tell you now where Brock gets his complexion. He is the son of a famous actor and he emulates everything he does. A hint is provided below. None other than George Hamilton. Just look at that tan! Oh, by the way... Someone please lock this stupid thread before it goes out of control.

    Just thought I would let you know I got my cosplay page up and running on my site. You can visit it by clicking the link below. http://www.toponeraegunbuster.com/Gunbuster-Cosplay.html

    Hope you like it here. It's a fun place to be, and sometimes gets hectic. Another thing to avoid besides the "S" word is the dreaded animated avatar. Stay away from those things and you will be fine. And by the mother of all things holy, do not confuse Macross with Robotech when talking about Macross. The proverbial firing squad will look for you.

    Sarah Jane rules as does K-9! I can't wait to see them again, but for now I have to wait and get through the first series on Sci Fi.

    Exactly!

    She was grown up then... 18 or 19 by my reckoning when she made the show.

    I really do not have any recent pictures, because the camera breaks everytime I try to get one taken, so I present to you my boot camp photo. Mind you, I gained about 45 pounds since then 20 something years ago and got a few gray hairs. Other than that, I look the same as I did back then. I really carry my age well. My girlfriend had a cow when she found out how old I was (40), and she's 27.

    So far I am the grandpa of MW. At a whopping 40 years of age... whoo hoo!

    WTF???

    I managed to download it but it was no better in quality than the original version. I know of someone on the web from another board who has it on laserdisc, but he will not transfer it to his computer to make it available as a download. And that sucks, as the laserdisc version is quite clear.

    Well, just got word from Ali today and I have full permission to use her and Hilary's images for my site. I'm going to see if I can wrangle the design pattern they used for the swimsuit and the tunic so I can post it for any female fans wanting to make their own. By the way, how large is the Studio HalfEye model going to be? I heard it was going to be around 20 or so inches high, but I have never purchased anything from these guys before. If anyone here has ever bought something from them before, could you tell us what size the model was. I'll be pissed if I had to pay $500 for a model that was 7 inches tall. I want it to at least have some size to it.

    Where do you get your information on Doctor Who? The screenplay for "Destiny of the Daleks" was written by Terry Nation, whereas the novelization was written by Terrance Dicks. "Steerike Two..."
  14. Noriko Takaya
    Yep, a weapon done in black is my preference also.

    I do not mind the pictures of the Studio HalfEye kit being posted. The owners would probably consider it advertisement for their product. The cosplay images; however, are a different matter. Although Cosplay.com has them posted, they have permission to do so as they are also posted on the original photographer's site. And, as a matter of fact, I was going to post today that I did receive permission to use Hilary's images, but I still need to get approval from her friend Ali. (Edit: Mind you this is for my site only. I was surprised to find out that both costumes were designed using images from my site. It seems that both Hilary and Ali are big Gunbuster fans also.)

    Surprisingly, the movie did very well in the UK than it did here in the US. From what I understand, the scene of the Doctor kissing his 'girlfriend' and the statement of him being half-human were pressed into being by Fox. The movie was supposed to start a new series as the BBC by that time was looking for outside influences to produce their properties, which is why the new show is produced by BBC Wales instead of the original studio. However, it was doomed to failure as the general American public has never been big on Doctor Who. I mean, how could it be? You have a series which has been around since the 60's with a very detailed and rich elaborate history. This is something which George Lucas should have paid attention to with his Star Wars films. As for Sophie Aldred, I met her a few years back and she did look a bit older, but not much. She was a very nice woman and very patient with the fans. Edit: You know, I noticed that one of the episodes is called "Dalek". How in God's name did the BBC wrangle the rights to use them from Terry Nation's estate? I decided to write a book invloving the fourth Doctor when the BBC was asking for new adventures from the fans to keep the series going. I submitted the story, even had permission from the creators of characters not held by the BBC, but was flatly rejected by Terry Nation on all accounts because he stated to me over the telephone that there was never going to be another Dalek story for Doctor Who. He was apparently displeased with the way the Daleks had been featured as of late, especially with the last story "Revelation of the Daleks". The BBC must have paid a small fortune to Nation's wife for the rights. Oh, I also wanted to share some of my autographs which I obtained over the years. Here they are:

    Yep, got one also. I have the money for it right now, so I will not be spending it until this order comes in. It will be undoubtedly the most expensive piece of plastic I have ever bought, but it will look nice on my Gunbuster site. I have got to keep the toy page current with the newer stuff coming out.

    I clean mine the good old Marine Corps way! By the way, aren't corrosive primers in ammo rather rare nowadays, or am I just lucky enough to have never come across them?

    I wouldn't think that it is canon, but the BBC includes the 1995 movie as part of the Doctor's timeline, so it may be. I just find it kind of odd that they would kill Ace off when Ian Briggs (who wrote the screenplay and novelization for "Fenric") established her eventual future as the grandmother of Sorin, known as one of the "Wolves of Fenric". This is even hinted at in the actual televised story. So if they are changing things around, maybe her dying is part of an alternate timeline.

    Well, the first 2 episodes of Eccleston's version of the Doctor have aired and I have to admit, I really liked it. The excitement and anticipation I always had when I was going to watch a new episode was there, and I am happy to say I was not dissapointed. However, questions do arise. Sylvester McCoy's portrayal of the Doctor is the last good memory I had of the original series. I'm talking about the episode "Survival" and not that crappy movie version which introduced McGann's 8th Doctor. So, where the hell did Ace go? I know there were a group of novels published after "Survival" aired and there were also books featuring McGann's Doctor. But I have not read any of them. So, where did Ace go? It is hinted at in the novelization of "The Curse of Fenric" that she remained behind in 19th century Paris where she fell in love with Count Sorin, who she was destined to meet. Then we have this Time War thing. What the hell happened to the 8th Doctor? How were the Time Lords and Gallifrey destroyed? Are we ever going to get an explanation as to how McGann's Doctor regenerated as Eccleston's version? Inquiring minds would like to know. If this is all explained later on in the series, then do not tell me. If there are books dedicated to this story, please post the titles. I have been out of the loop for a while, so I need to catch up.

    Edit: Sorry, did not see the post above regarding the sequel.
  22. Noriko Takaya
    Yep, that was that cop with the hero complex.
  23. Noriko Takaya
    Terrance Dicks did not create Blake's 7 or Doctor Who. Blake's 7 was the brain child of Terry Nation, creator of the Daleks, while Doctor Who was brought into existence by Sydney Newman.

    Hey, I created my "official" thread for Gunbuster because there were others creating multiple threads devoted to this anime. The first message by me on this thread lists 3 or 4 different links. So I said "official" to keep it all in one area and to avoid irritating anyone by creating multiple threads. And it has worked too. All us fans of that old show know where to go for our Gunbuster fix. Please don't destroy my thread. And Dangard Ace, I'm flabergasted at you. I see your name in the Gunbuster thread quite often. Are you willing to destroy it because I am not a mod or admin? The horror...

    Yep, just as it says above. I finally have gotten around to watching the entire Neo Ranga series after coming down with the flu, and I discovered in episode 34, about six minutes into it, there is a piece of music that is a direct carbon copy of Stu Phillips' score from Battlestar Galactica. This doesn't bother me, I just found it to be kind of amusing. For those of you who have never seen Neo Ranga (Good series, I recommend it), or heard music from the original Battlestar Galactica, I have included clips for you to compare. Click the links below.
