    It is perfect for the captain who wants to boldly go into the danger zone.

    But how are we supposed to figure out how many invid it takes to scuttle an Imperial Star Destroyer if we can't argue about it?!

    I mean, at least some thought was put into the, errr, facilities. How often is there just straight-up nowhere to poop and people simply don't produce waste?

    But never figured out to just drop the things into a black hole for relativistic shredding. Oh well...

    In fairness, mankind in Macross has learned one important lesson: if the protoculture left some dangerous ruins around, you NUKE IT FROM ORBIT instead of studying it to figure out how it works and if you can adapt it to your purposes.

    Because just like "unlimited data" means "25 gigabytes" and "digital" means "on the internet", "original" now means "regional exclusive" instead of "content developed by or for a specific network/service".

    Fantastic! They did the other fighting game too.

    My mistake. I knew this was Marvel, didn't know it was under the Spiderman license.

    Because clearly we need to be punished for not giving Disney our money.

    Like they originally did with Darkwing Duck? That show was ahead of its time.

    Or making Bumblebee turn into a real Volkswagen instead of a puffy chibi one. Except that toy was as wrong as it was official.

    Is it "call Blade"? Because it should be "call Blade".
  14. JB0
    True enough.
  15. JB0
    I stand corrected.

    I mean, in fairness, the first movie had a lot of problems that had nothing to do with Roddenberry. The studio made all kinds of poor decisions(and was all too eager to beef right back at Roddenberry). I'm not saying Roddenberry was blameless, just... maybe only 20% of the mess was his fault?

    And they flew the Enterprise shooting model across the V'Ger model in the original film. For all the movie's failings, going big was not one of them.

    SEAK PEEK on the thumbnail. That is all.

    This is a VERY high-effort troll of DisneyCo, and I respect it on that alone.

    I think they should've made it look like a Zaku!

    Apparently, he had so much fun in Top Gun that he went and got a pilot's license shortly afterwards.

    My understanding of the new Enterprise has always been that it was a re-designation of a new-construction Constitution, built to the "refit" specifications. They took one that was approaching completion when Kirk and company blew up the no-bloody-A-B-C-or-D, and immediately before it was officially designated the USS Whatever, NCC 90210, they rushed out and repainted it to be NCC-1701-A. The refit specification replaced every system, bringing the Constitution up to then-modern specs, and the hull seemed to not be a limiting factor, so there was no reason not to build more of them. Maybe they weren't the finest ships in the fleet after the Excelsior-class came online, but they were still fine ships. At least one served well into Picard's era, being destroyed in the battle of Wolf-359. ... Well, they were mostly fine ships. The 1701-A seems to have been a lemon, with it having to be brought back for a near-total overhaul after it's shakedown cruise because the warp core was the only thing that DID work right, and she was unceremoniously retired after less than a decade in service. But we know this wasn't the fate of the entire class.

    But they're perfect for when you need to tell someone to eff off in a way that leaves absolutely no ambiguity, so they make sure there's one ship that DOES carry the big gun.

    It is, but it is also very unlikely. It has virtually no use outside of bragging rights... and apparently semiconductor manufacture, because of course it is. Anything nasty enough to have no legitimate use seems to always find a home in semiconductors.

    The weirdest part is that it isn't the first time they've had giant robots.
