Hmm A1, I'm surprised You resemble Basara much more In your face, self-centered, thinks-he's-the best-since-sliced-bread, Vocal ..... a perfect Basara OH NO! HE'S GONNA BLOW! RUN!

We'd be short a few Star Wars sequels. Straight to colonization instead of reconstruction. ... They were pretty close to death star anyways. They didn't. It's all a vast conspiracy to convince us that armageddon is coming.

Honestly? I think the hordes of blind fanboys are big enough to push live-action Eva on into successful movie.

Nemesis wasn't marketed well at all. And was launched one week before The Two Towers, AKA the single most highly anticipated film of the year. Only way it could've been worse was if it opened the same weekend. Of course, Nemesis also reeked of poor production. And finding Data's "brother" was a fundamentally flawed subplot, given they totally ignored the fact that they already knew Data had a brother, and that he was a royal pain in the ass. They also found Data's dismembered head at one point too(damn time travel stories), so even just digging up familiar android skulls wasn't exactly a new concept and they should have NOT been shocked and amazed. ... Of course, if the 'bot had actually BEEN Lore, like everyone in the audience was hoping, we'd've had a FAR more interesting movie. All things considered, it was HARDLY the worst Trek movie. It was actually one of the better ones, in my opinion. Innovative is required to succeed in the market? Anyways, Voyager was innovative. That just made it all the more bitter. They had a totally new area of space, the entire damn series was a blank slate. And then totally crapped out on us. There were a few gems, but the series as a whole was just ... crap. Hmmm... as I recall, the original Trek was killed in a smiliar way. Bumped season 3 to infomercial time, guaranteeing no one would watch it. *barfs* Sadly, this is true. Bad sitcoms and the single worst genre in history is all that anyone seems to care about. ... Heck, the sitcom is mostly dead too. That'd be nice, actually. I thought the mini-series feel of Enterprise earlier this season was a nice change of pace. Left them enough room to tell a story, without getting forced like the previous season-long arc. I find over-saturation a funny label, though. The entire run of DS9 was 2 series at once. As was most of Next Gen, to the best of my recollection. Next Gen + original series reruns(at least on my local network). DS9 premiers, can Kirk. Stop Next Gen, Voyager starts. End DS9... hey, where's our new series? Ah well, if Voyager is an indication of quality we're better off with just one. Voyager is where things really whiplashed around into crap. DS9, amazingly, remained more or less immune. There were a lot of really good episodes, right through the last season. It's like all the good writers stayed on DS9, and left when it was over.

It's not that there's no market, it's that Viacom has no clue how to exploit it and has run it into the ground with bad production and poor marketing. Hell, they got sued over it a while back by Activision(who felt that Viacom had screwed them by driving the liecnse into the ground after they bought game rights).

I kicked that around for a while. I wanted to keep the stripe on the head since I wanted to retain the original scheme of the head design, and the racing stripe. I am not sure yet as to whether or not the head will stay this way. I am thinking about repainting it. As a thought... if you want to spice things up without going back to the classic green visor, try something in a dark gray. I think it'd look good that way.

Not sure lenient is the word I would use. Insane, maybe. But not lenient.

The metallic one is even more beautiful than the regular one.

As long as we're counting the ethnicities... Global is officially italian. Roy is "american"(though, as you noted, the name implies a german heritage). As far as fanboys trying to keep their shows to themselves... I'm incredibly insulted. I think it's a dumb idea. I acknowledge this. But I'd say the same thing if this was a thread about a live-action Robotech or Gundam movie. I HAVE said the same thing about the live-action Transformers movie. ESPECIALLY Transformers, where there's not even a POINT to having live action parts. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THE HUMANS. </tangent> I don't understand why people keep clamoring for their favorite animated productions to be remade as live-action shows. Down that road lies nothing but tears. Sure they can do a lot with CG, but animation and live action are really suited for diffrent kinds of productions. What makes for good animation makes for a lame live-action movie.

Apology accepted. And I'll try to cut you some slack on the typing.

I still have the fry-bot. BigMac too. The fry-bot is hideous, but you will respect the BigMac. Hoenstly, I miss the old days. McD's used to make fun, original toys. Now they make a small POS for whoever pays them the most money.

Ah, why not. I'll edit mine too.

Hey, I LIKED US Godzilla!

Depends on the dog. my german sheapard is so spoiled she wouldn't care about any intruders. Only thing she will protect is deer meat like when a deer bodie beaches up on the shore. Okay, as a general rule the breed has strong defensive urges. These can be over-ridden by raising them the right/wrong way.

Ah, the ever popular "self-defense is wrong and evil and criminals are ENTITLED to your stuff" mentality. Suffice it to say that the rules are quite a bit more lenient in the US. And even moreso in certain states, such as my own Texas(where, on the extreme end, you can legally shoot someone for stealing your salt shaker). Aww, man. That sucks. German shepards have great personalities, too. And an inbred desire to guard your family and property. Smart, too. As dogs go, anyways. There's a reason they're the classical guard dog. Or police dog. Smart enough to take orders, energetic enough to do the job, calm enough to wait for the word go. Not that I'm aware of. Maybe some sort of chihuahua. But who wants that? ... Quick google search turns this up... http://dogs.about.com/od/dogbreeds/a/hypoallergenic.htm 'S got a list of low-reaction dogs.

No.

Hikaru and Roy knew each other before the war. Hikaru would've stayed a stunt flyer.

Odd. I thought the NX-01 was a very nice-looking ship. Integrating the saucer section like they did gives it a really nice profile. I've never liked the "neck" on the other ship designs, and the Defiant was just too squat for my tastes. The NX-01 is a very nice balance between utilitarian practicality and aesthetics. And the battles were a heck of a lot more interesting than most of the crap in Voyager, in my opinion. Really, what does it matter when it takes place? Be it a classic like "City on the Edge of Forever", or a more modern holodeck romp, some of Star Trek's best stories have taken place in the past. And a phaser beam is the same regardless of when you are. ... And your post borders on illegible. Learn to capitalize and punctuate properly.

Even a small dog is good. By small I mean foot and a half tall. Not teacup poodle. But yah. Dogs are the best security system known to man. If you keep them indoors. Used to have a german shepard/chow. Looked like a wolf. Sweetest thing ever, but she scared the crap out of everyone that didn't know her. Currently have a black lab(mostly) and a terrier(mainly). Between the 2, I've got iron-clad security. The lab is big enough to spook people, and the terrier is mean enough to take a chunk out of their butt while they're watching the lab(but still well-behaved enough to not physically assault people we let in).

I thought the TV instances you mentioned were interesting because they were just simple chance. At least at first, Hikaru COULD have had a relationship. But simple misunderstandings and bad timing drove a wedge between them untill the gap was just too wide to cross.

Me. I thought Perceptor was cool. I R GEEK! But many people liked Soundwave and Blaster. Heck, Soundwave is one of the more popular 'bots. Maybe. If it worked, definitely.

Actually, they don't a lot of times. There's no one Famiclone manufacturer, and every chinese pirate company has their own ROM in the package. ... Personally, I'd get a cart-based Famiclone. With a FC-NES adapter, it becomes a quite servicable and relatively unique NES deck*. And it opens up the possibility(with a quick soldering job to make an adapter) of using any NES accessory instead of just what hte famiclone comes with. *Not one of the lame PS1/N64 case knockoffs. But there's so many diffrent styles out there that it's hard to not find one you like.

Bah. What's the world coming to when even fake weapons aren't usable in self-defense? Actually, the first time my place was robbed(happened twice in the entire time we've been here) they used gloves. And this was before the cop shows. You ust got hit by a higher grade of thief than most poeple. Consider it an honor. A. Good to know the cops appreciate the value of a giant robot. B. To heck with the guys across the street. It's the guy in forensics you need to worry about.

You mean they actually pulled off hat many eps.? Man, I'm so out of the loop...didn't they try to bring the Borg into the series briefly? It was never an attempt to make them a regular villain. The episode was intentionally written to prevent a second contact untill Next Generation. It was just a little sidestory based off the time travel element in First Contact. A "what if the borg had a shuttlecraft out" thing.
