Battlestar Galactica Discussion IV with Blood And Chrome
Thom replied to 505thAirborne's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
One thing I never liked about the 2003 version was the 'hiding among us' stuff. I'm too TOS-school. Give the insectoid aliens and the chrome Centurions. Maybe do an infiltration model or a brain-washed or specially-bread humans for some espionage stuff, but no more with the cyborg versions or the 'they can be just like us' stuff. Saying that, of course, brings to mind the planned TOS season 2, and I don't mean the 1980 garbage. That too had Cylons turning into humans, so I probably would not have liked that either. Also don't mind the gender swaps. Heck, I have a nascent BSG fanfic with Apollo being played by Lucy Lawless!- 698 replies

Battlestar Galactica Discussion IV with Blood And Chrome
Thom replied to 505thAirborne's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, it is stated several times as a reboot, and I'm of two minds on that. My favorite version is the original, as I feel it had far more heart and hope than Moor's ship full of a-holes. It was also a far simpler story, rather than the confusing mess that didn't know where it was going half way through. If there was a continuation, I would it continued with the original series (!!!NO BSG1980!!!). If it, as most likely will be, a reboot of the Moore series, then I hope they reach back for what made the original so good, with characters I actually wanted to root for.- 698 replies

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Thom replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Came across this on Pinterest. Looks like a neat mod to the old Bandai VF-1. -
It's usually the case where we end up being our own worse critics.

He looks phenomenal @pengbuzz! Truly an awesome job, from Murphy himself all the way to the newspapers and posters. And now, it looks like I have to build a Star Trek model...😄

@nightmareB4macross easily joining in with all the amazing customs!

Such an odd and beautiful design.

I had to get a less than 'legal' DVD... But you didn't hear that from me.

Marvel Studios TV Shows and Animation on Disney+
Thom replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Between She-Hulk and GoT/HotD, I would much prefer She-Hulk. If I was given a choice between the two.- 1486 replies

Not 'left alone' but treated better. I enjoyed both recent movies as pop-corn flicks. All they needed was better stories, or just better translations of those stories to the screen.

Marvel Studios TV Shows and Animation on Disney+
Thom replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I liked the series a lot and would certainly like to see a season 2, but by its very nature it is a CGI heavy show. They could work around not having such a high cost per episode... just have less She-Hulk... Which I would be alright with, as Maslany did great in either half of the persona. Perhaps they should have taken an idea from the original series and had a second, muscular actress in practical make-up and just used CGI to clean up around the edges.- 1486 replies

Even have the crew's helmets!

Love the sound and some real awesome visuals.

And they can always de-age for younger Mav.

@derex3592 I'd say keep the wheels as they are, using the disparity for the overall look, and trust in weathering to lessen the difference.

Those are some good looking covers!

Ha Ha, I love Les Grossman! Just imagine that scene! Bring it.

Played by...da-da-dum! Tom Cruise!😁

I'm waiting for Top Gun 4, Weather Balloons! To be fair, that was air-to air.😜 As for movies with air to air, I think we're only going to see more like that if one side or the other has been massively Worfed. The current shoot over the horizon is as much about killing the enemy first as it is about saving your own pilots from needless gunfights, and it's not all that theatrical - unless they are aliens. I think we're more likely to see period pieces, set in either World War or Korea/Vietnam, especially for more realistic scenarios.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Thom replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
I love it, the cat immediately claimed the box! 'Get your sh*t out of there, minion!' Great job on the paint, yes, very shiny! I liked the beginning when it was rotating from the red lighting towards the blue, and you can suddenly 'see' what a shiny blue Max machine would look like. -
He looks great and he is in a real cool setting. Just fantastic! He may need some cosmetic work to knock down the shine though.😉

Yeah, it's just my own personal preference. To me, Star Wars and the Force go hand in hand.- 1438 replies

Where else can they take it though? Unless they turn it into 'Maverick: Mission Impossible!'

I think there is always going to a Force-wielder in there somewhere. For me anyway, that is intrinsically part of Star Wars.- 1438 replies

The Mandalorian - Star Wars webseries from Jon Favreau
Thom replied to SMS007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Part of the problem with The Mandalorian was the side-quests that were deemed needed for filler. Personally, I enjoyed them even if they added little to the plot, as it was just fun to watch Mando doing his 'thing.' A movie though, they can concentrate on main plot and main plot only, and a good trailer will bring people in. And being a good movie will bring more in.- 1438 replies
