Yes, not much she can do when her daughter runs off and she's not around to protect her.

And just so we know, that's the last EP thet I ever fully watched.

I would say that's because Carol is, to put it mildly, "gross," and isn't Beth supposed to be like, 14 or something?

I don't really watch the show, but if I did, I'm sure I would see Carol kick your bells up around your ears and then garrot you with your own tongue for that statement.

And she's pretty in her way.

I only wish Mr. Larson had been able to see it...

Well, Murph explains how she tried telling everyone that she wasn't soley responible for the discovery, but that they thought she'd gone a little batty.

I mean, try and explain your falther being the ghost that messed with your book shelf as a kid - while he was still alive - and you got the clues from the second

hand of a watch...

And the reunion with Murph at the end was about Coop and his daughter. Unfortuneately, movies can't go into every minute detail of a scene.

It has to focus down to transmit the message it is trying to send. From the progression into the room, I got the sense that Coop was entirely seperate from

everyone else but his daughter, because he had been away for so long. Nevermid that their ages have reversed. In that scene, Coop is the child and

his daughter is now suddenly the wisened parent, advising him as to what he should do, blunty exposed when he simply asks her, like a child asking an elder

for direction.

He may have returned, but it's not his world anymore, much less his family. It wasn't his world the moment they lifted off to head for the wormhole. From that

point on, the only direction available was forward. And the people in that room were Murph's family, not Coops. Consider that if he had never

left, and Murph was still able to have that family, he would have been long dead by then anyway. EIther way you put it, he was seperate, as it always would have been so.

Personally, after that scene, I wish the movie had been just five minutes longer...

The reason I like Sci Fi at all. You were the man, Mr. Larson.

Or i should say, Commander Larson. I wish you fair speed and a bright journey ahead.

Wan't it a civil type war that brought down the Protoculture..? I wonder if history might start repeating itself.

I wouldn't say the humans were collaborators. They were the puppet masters.

I'm waiting for a new 1/1000 Andromeda, otherwise I'm going to have to cut down the Bandai models that I have so they fit with the new ships.

Or not... I just laid the two models, the /1000 Yamato and the /700 Andromeda side by side, and they are pretty spot on size-wise! How much larger is the Andromeda supposed to be compared to the SB Yamato anyway?

And it sounds like they shouldn't have wasted their time on the recap, and just could have given us the Gatlantis story earlier.

I thought the movies were just movie versions of the series... Such as DYRL was to the original series.

They had such different endings, with the movie version going along the lines of Macross Zero, where the hero just disappears. Whereas in the series, Alto was last scene flying through the skies rather than disappearing into the aether and going who knows where. Not the ending I liked by the way and is thus - except for the squadron of Macross Quarters at the end - forgotten...

Personally, I think if there should be some crossover characters, it should be the second string. I'd like to see Klan again, and Luca and Nananse and especially Ozma and Kathy! Even as just little spots just to see how they're doing.

Perhaps to find some room away from Michael's memory, Klan takes a new assignment with Macross Delta! Maybe she'll be the main character!

Please Kawamori!!

Love the Widow. Real nice work on that.

I have two of the GWH P-61s in the stash, just waiting to go. One will be stock, the other will use Lone Star's conversion to an F-15 Reporter.

That's a great looking Yamato! Makes me want to break out my 1/1000 and just Do It!

But until then...

What size would it be in 1/1000?

And did someone mention cost or did I miss it..?

All gone... for now...

THREE left as of... now!

The ES-11D is back in stock at SSM!

FIVE remaining!

Splintered up, and then some!

Nice work! I see the Invid (or is it Inbit) are here in force!

I personally welcome our new overlords with open arms!

On my bench is...

It's good to see kits coming back out of the box! I know I have too many still waiting in limbo. And she's a Skull, huh?

Cool.

Great work going on. Nice builds on those tanks and the Invid. Nice color choice.

I started putting decals down on mine.

Also working on this...

This is my own version of the Jolly Roger tribute Valkyrie, like the one seen here before.

Some of the decals that will be used.

And the Skull Squadron ensign that will be in grays on the back.

Well, when it comes down to it, which Yuki version is screen 'accurate..?' Or close to?

I will say that though I do like those more generaous proportions, Yuki is more slender and lithe - and I like that too...

But whichever one - keep 'em coming!

The Peggy's younger sister...

My new Galactica.

Awesome display. I love hoy you brought it all together. Looks just great.

Still working out the fiddly bits...

Nice work! And I love the pile 'o parts sitting by the wall.
