I had Tytania, Legend of The Galactic Heroes, and Banner of the Stars in mind for this, not anything with "hijinks". In a way Nimitz does fit the cute sidekick territory. He often displays his "lil stinker" personality to the world and most dismiss him as a cute pet. Few realize how intelligent or dangerous he is, or his telepathic ability.

I'm currently in the middle of reading the latest Honor Harrington novel Mission Of Honor. Its got a kind of calm before the storm going for it right now, with little action. That's not to say its boring, as its interesting to see various character interact, and seeing what might be a lasting peace established between Haven and Manticore all while the idiotic Sollies try to bring their outdated lumbering behmoth of a military to bare on the manties. Also Mesa is up to something very, very bad. Not sure what yet, but almost every chapter cuts to one of their ships setting something up as a timer counts down. One final thought, how has this not become an anime? Cute half asian woman as a main character Honor Harrington Cute but deadly mascot character in the treecat Nimitz Huge fleet battles with heavy emphasses on technology and tactics ala LoGH Martial arts and sword combat with Katana's Interstellar politics Lite fanservice Spaceships look like (censored)!

It can be hard to watch even on regular def. when I do I have to crank up the brightness just to tell what's going on sometimes.

I think I'm going to run up and give a big tear filled bear hug to the guys running the Discotek booth this weekend at animeboston! I tried watching it on my computer, but I never could get comfortable or relax watching it. This release is one of those ones I'd never thought I'd see happen, but so desperately wanted. Keith I would also love to see a remastered Arcadia of my Youth, or perhaps even its follow up tv series (ssx?).

Lesnar had this planned with the WWE for a year. Remember his last match against Goldberg where it was made known both were leaving the WWE and they tanked it? Lesnar did the same thing in his last UFC match. He tanked it so he wouldn't risk injury, then abruptly retired. I wonder if The Rock is going to hang around for a while. I'm pretty sure he could win the championship, continue making making movies, only do matches at PPV events, and nobody would have a problem.

Hey Tochiro I just wanted to say thanks for the effort you're putting on all things Yamato/starblazers, and Leiji Matsumoto. I also have a question that I need your help on. What is the connection between Leji Matsumoto and Godzilla? I was reminded of a photo of yours from the Mahoroba event that had a lot of Matsumoto collectables and one of them is supposedly a Godzilla figure designed by him. What can you tell me of it? I also found pictures of a poster for Godzilla vs Mothra drawn by him. Did he do a manga adaptation?

Alien 3 is one giant headache. There were a lot of people left with questions after viewing it. How did the egg get on the Sulaco? Its clear that its not the dropship its on, and the queen didn't have time to go anywhere. How can one facehugger impregnate multiple hosts? Wait the alien is psychic now? Was that Bishop guy a human or synthetic? The credits list him as Bishop II and he sure doesn't act like someone who got their ear ripped off? The directors cut while a better film confuses things too. Things like changing the host, Ripley not getting bursted. Weaver had way too much control over the film, and wanted her character to die. She wanted it in Aliens, but fought over it with James Cameron. This led to him walking out on the Alien 3 angry at seeing everything he didn't want added in and destroying the foundation he built. Fox realized they screwed up too, but instead of starting fresh they rehired Weaver for even more money and gave her director choice. A frenchman who had never done a film in english, and thought it would be a good idea to make a satiricle parody.

I'm tempted to send an email asking about how much it would cost to purchase a civilian Model UD-4L dropship for insystem short range cargo hauling for my small time hauling company melmac brothers/cerodyne shipping concern.

Well its not active yet and there's nothing special except the slogan "moving human capital beyond tomorrow", but it appears Yutani Corporation now has their own website. Its run and owned by the same guys that did the Weyland Industries. http://yutanicorp.com/

Its not an injoke if it part of a major plot point. Slusho? That's an injoke. The orguss valk and beer can? That's an injoke. The M-41A pulse rifle popping up on the T-X loadout screen? Injoke. The evil corporation that runs the death race to make extra money while owning the prisons and whose executives make repeated references to the company? Not an injoke.

Well if you guys want more of a reason not to like Paul W.S. Anderson, that idiot tried to link his Death Race movies, to his AvP films(and the rest of the franchise) by introducing the Weyland Corporation as the company running the prisons. I'm not joking...

I just watched episodes 3-4 of Gunbuster 2/Diebuster. Its actually gotten better, but the tenichnical aspect still bugs me. These Topless pilots and their buster machines really are pieces of crap when compared to the original Gunbuster machine and Noriko. This takes place thousands of years after the the events of Gunbuster, yet nothing has advanced? One buster machine was shooting machine guns for crying out loud! The original series had trips from earth to jupiter in less than a day, but going from Jupiter to Pluto takes weeks for Nono? What's so special about topless anyway? Nothing but whiny brats, incompetent fighters, and freaks. So what if they can summon their gimped up mecha with their minds, they aren't very good. Tycho wastes her original buster machine being reckless, and distracted in combat, yet she gets to be the pilot of the newest machine made? WTF? Considering how rare these things are and the way she treated her previous one there's no way in hell i'd let her near another one. Why should they worry about getting older? Noriko and others had no problems piloting robots just using normal controls. Also what's the big deal about buster machines awakening? The original Gunbuster wasn't sentient, and damn near unstoppable, yet these new ones can't fight on their own very well making the Sizzler/RX units look all powerful. It shows when the moron twins awaken the original space monster. I guess the problem for me is the show just doesn't fit very well with the original Gunbuster. Its like in the time Noriko has been gone humanity has become mentally retarded, all historical records have been wipped out(seriously how do you forget the buster legion and think they are space monsters?), and designed some of the stupidest defense systems possible. Maybe I would have liked this more if it wasn't connecter to Gunbuster.

The first live action film is surprisingly very, very good. The second is cheesy, the third starts off decent then gets very painful at times, and finally the fourth(cgi one) is good mindless fun more connected to the newer cartoon than the other films.

I doubt that for one reason.

If its pictures you want, and some theories of what's going on in the trailers check this page out... http://whatculture.com/film/delving-deeper-into-prometheus-trailers-heres-our-theories.php?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=delving-deeper-into-prometheus-trailers-heres-our-theories I read it and a lot of what they posted makes a lot of sense so beware of SPOILERS! Do not click if you do not want to know!

Both Wing Commander III & IV were released on the playstation. It was a real awkward time when my parents walked in on me playing and Ginger Lynn was on the screen. Parents: "What are you watching? Where did you get that? You're too young to be watching her!" Me: "Its just a video game see, and how do you know who Ginger Lynn is? Is she famous?"

To me it looks more like a an octopus, maybe a prototype facehugger. Its not a burster because if you look close the person's(female) body is still intact and the person is very much still alive. Interesting points: The dirt on arms and legs indicate being outside the ship without the spacesuit. The specimen what ever it is is being held in place by the pods equipment. On the right somebody's reflection can be seen in the computer screen. Edit: also considering the pod is opening my guess this was a removal process. Possibly in connection to the "cut it off" quote heard in the trailer or the thing the android is removing from the cannister.

Okay here's the formula for the Prometheus guessing game(dead pool) First to die? Last to die? Who becomes the xenomorph?(if) Who becomes the space jockey?(if) Who survives unchanged/intact if anyone survives?

I didn't realize how much of his I actually enjoyed, the world and anime in particular is a little bit darker now. He will be missed.

Good point on the greedy corporate person, but there are always exceptions like in jurrasic park (not counting the unamed park worker at the beginning) where the greedy corporate lawyer was the first to die. Maybe we should do a list of the crewmembers of the ship and pick which order they die if at all.

So anybody want to start up the Prometheus death pool and start making guesses on who gets killed off first? As always in movies like this the safe bet is the token black guy, but the greedy coporate woman who is Chalize Theron's character seems likely to fall too. What do you guys say?

Started watching Gunbuster 2: die buster, and so far I'm not liking what I'm seeing. After two episodes all the characters have either been incompetent, annoying, moronic, or all three at once. I'm also not digging the animation style its way too exagerated and over the top. The mecha designs while unique aren't all that great. I hope this gets better, I'm really starting to get sick of hearing oné-sama this and oné-sama that from Nono every other sentence.

So Roughnecks pretty much took some of the bug designs from the movie, a little bit from the novel, and made its own thing. Now it looks the film version is taking stuff from Roughnecks(the crashing dropship, parts of the armor). I'm not all that excited about this. I expected something better designwise from Aramaki.

Its funny because I have never actually watched Nadia. I know of it but have never seen it. I had Atragon more in mind
