Um, I said "Nicky." What did you think I said...? And Christmas and my birthday are both coming up... -
Jasonc is one of Seto Disciples...? Since when?

Do You Remember Love Art better than Frontier?

I stopped reading there. If you're to stoop so low, you're not worth my time or effort. No offense intended, of course. -

Yes, yes, yes...that was truly one of the most heroic moments in the entire series so far. And no...my DVD provider DIDN'T bring Razor OR Season 4 today... But one thing I've been thinking about (don't answer please) is that...after Exodus, when the Colonials lost Hera, I though, "Well, at least they've still got one human/Cylon hybrid - Casey." But then of course, it turned out that Casey wasn't half-Cylon, but unbeknownst to all of us...they always had Nicky. No wonder there was the big deal about having Nicky on New Caprica rather than on Galactica... EDIT: Um, no edit here. Nothing happened. It's all in your imagination. -

Gubaba replied to aquilon's topic in Movies and TV Series
Wait a sec...you're jumping on the guy's case when he agrees with you that DYRL is better? Cripes, how do you treat people who DISAGREE with you? And, um..."Old is usually better"? What kind of crap is that? It's just as much of a fallacy as saying "new is better." Better is better, and it doesn't matter if it's old OR new. Greatness doesn't have an expiration date. (And, um...how can you be often misunderstood at MW, if that was your first post?) -

First, I was like Then I was like Then I was like Now, I'm like ... I'm going out to the coffee shop now. If my DVD provider doesn't bring Razor AND Season 4, I'm going to be seriously pissed. (And you guys had to wait, what...five months? Six? to find out what happened next? Man...I'm sorry.) (Funnily enough, whereas I was convinced before that Starbuck DIDN'T die, I'm now inclined to believe that she DID.) (And I can't believe it...BOB DYLAN IS THE CYLON GOD??? Man, I should've seen that one coming... ) -

Logging off, sir. Back in an hour or so. -

Who are you talking to? No one here has said that Frontier is better than DYRL. -

Well, duh. DYRL is one of THE CLASSICS. That doesn't mean Frontier is bad, though. -

Just finished watching "Crossraods Part 1," and am about launch into Part 2. Like most of the two-parters, this felt like setup for something big, and I can't tell what it will be, or what will even be involved. On a personal level, things are already looking bad, with Lee alienating everyone around him (and quitting), Tigh apparently going kookoo (but if he's going kookoo, then why did Anders hear the music also? (And what's with Anders making the move on the new girl? Fast work, bro...)), and Roslin having cancer again (the prophecy said she wouldn't make it to earth...). So if things are unraveling in the micro, I'm guessing they'll move to the macro soon enough... EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention. Caprica punching Tigh was one of the greatest moments ever. -
Based on that, I bet the new hero in Shadow Rising will be named "Dick Butcher." Which is the manliest name ever.

Well, a lot of the name changes seemed unnecessary. Leaving aside L/R and V/B differences ("Gloval" and "Global," are, in Japanese, the same name..you say "tomayto," I say "tomahto"), there are changes that leave me scratching my head. Why is "Grant" so much better than "LaSalle"? Does "Henry" sound a lot better than "Bruno"? "Lana Isavia" sounds more like a real name than "Nova Satori" does, and I certainly know more people named "Jim" than I do named "Lunk." So what was the point?
-
Funny...I had kind of the opposite reaction for a while. I wrote off Robotech a long time ago, and just kind of scratched my head at the antics of the crazier RT fans...but JT kind of got me interested again...not in the show itself, but in the goings-on in the fandom and the fan projects. But yeah...as Robotech.com has slid ever further into a persecution complex, and RobotechX has turned into a battleground of DougBendo vs. everyone else (if he gets so many downloads, why are there no "Disciples of Bendo" jumping to his defense?)...I've gotten sick of it, too.

Oh, I figured that would happen. Seriously, it's obvious...the clues are everywhere. And I predict the Cylons are going to reach Earth first, but, luckily, Will Smith is there. He'll shout "Welcome to Earth!" and punch Grace Park in the mouth. -

Oh, okay...so if a character dies, they take the actor's name out of the credits, but if a character dies, then they don't remove the actor's name... :wacko: Wait a sec... -
http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showuser=2536 He's probably the closest thing there is to a Macross II expert in the west. He's also apparently some kind of nefarious ringleader who organizes his legion of fans into strike teams whose sole purpose is to annoy Robotech fans.

It's really only a very small number of people...fewer than ten, in all likelihood. But they tend to be SO dumb that's hard not to focus on them...

What Current Anime Series Are You Watching? v2.0

I'll admit, he has a breathtaking knack for confusion. -
Don't listen to Wanzerfan. He's wrong again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantaloupe

What Current Anime Series Are You Watching? v2.0
Gubaba replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Y'know, I could scrounge around for screenshots of the episode to figure out what Wanzerfan is talking about, but I'm sick of cleaning up his information messes for him. And he should be sick of other people cleaning his messes as well, but he's clearly not. Maybe I'll just put a line in my sig saying, "If Wanzerfan says it, it's probably wrong," and just leave it at that. -
That's because it's a very common Japanese name. I've known three unrelated Naganos. Do you actually have something to add to the thread...?

What Current Anime Series Are You Watching? v2.0
Gubaba replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
?????? What on earth are you talking about? The United States made Eva Units 3 and 4, but that was WAY later in the series. Oh, as Seto mentions (correctly) that the N2 mine is non-nuclear, but he fails to mention it's stronger than any nuclear bomb. Nuclear weapons do nothing against an Eva. -
Yeah...I figured they were waiting for him to finish "The Majestic Stand" before releasing the translation, but considering that Volume XII of the Japanese Edition came out three years ago and doesn't finish the story...and no Vol. XIII forthcoming anytime soon...it's kind of fallen into the background for me as well. And his writing is really, really difficult for me to read. I depend on the translations to make it through. Yes, that was it! Thanks...that was going to bug me all day, I know. And I'd heard that it had moved over to Gears Online; I've checked it out once or twice, but never joined up...

Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough model-builder to justify spending the money on them. I did get a Wave plastic injection kit of the KOG quite a few years ago, which was fine, I suppose. I remember on the old Five Star Stories forum site (what was it called? I can't recall...it went down about six or seven years ago, I believe) there was someone who actually inquired about how much it would cost to get his Volks KOG plated with real gold. Turned out it was prohibitively expensive, but less, IIRC, than getting a "Twin Towers" Jagd Mirage kit.
