    I like how they did the ending episode, will say no more... I also liked last week's episode as well, looking forward to the Christmas special now.
  2. Dynaman
    You are correct.
  3. Dynaman
    Well, they are just rushing this movie out because they are afraid of the RT:LAM

    Don't forget that we were all SCREAMING "RUN UP THE STAIRS, STUPID!", then they did and the Dalek followed, it was great and we were talking about it for weeks - yes we are nerds... One of my favorites. That and "Planet of Evil", which was the first one I ever saw, and the one where K-9 was introduced, which is great on DVD with the newly touched up special effects.

    The original Daleks (from Episode 2) could not leave their bunker. From at least the late eighties Daleks have been able to levitate up stairs (that was a GREAT episode! The Doctor and friends finally ran up the stairs (for once), and the Dalek went right up after them(*)). The latest Daleks are show flying all the time. (*) - My friends and I got a great whoop and holler out of that one.

    Quark was one of the BEST, but REALLY REALLY bad, shows of all time.

    Thanks, I'm picking it up from the last 2 disks of season 2. I've seen the season 1 shows already so I don't have to slog through that again... (A transporter accident Riker gets slaughtered with a Galaxy class? This I have to see!)

    I've been thinking of watching DS9 from the point where it gets good. It is somewhere between the end of the first season and the episode where the Klingons attacked the station. Can someone give me a good idea of what season/episode is a good one to start with? (Like TNG, the show does not get good till somewhere in the 3rd season I would guess)

    He didn't want to deal with Macross at all, at one point - and now look... Frankly, if the next show makes a casual reference that contact with Megaroad-01 has been re-established, and no further updates are given I would love it. Would drive some people nuts though. [edit] - It would be best as some kind of background news announcement as a character walks by a TV "In other news the long lost Megaroad-01 ship and crew has been found secure in..." Then the characters walk on by and no further mention is made of it.

    No no, it's just that George is stubborn, very very stubborn. Case 1, Jar Jar, universally despised but George insists he is important to the story so he sticks around - but gets so few lines that he might as well not be there (but whoever said that Jar Jar was the only one who could introduce the Empire legislation is a genious...). Now when Vader's pitiful cry of NOooooooooo is roundly thrashed as being stupid - and the ruin of a great character, George has to "salvage" it by sticking the line in another movie to add symmetry... If that "No" had been more forceful, angry, and menacing, THEN it would have been a great line, but noooooooo.......

    What is an Ace destroid pilot? I suppose the definition would be one that manages to survive 5 battles, needing 5 kills is really pushing things...
  12. Dynaman
    That is the problem. The prequals stunk, if anything THEY should get redone, by a competant film maker. (ROTJ is pretty dreadful too though, so if he has to mess with one of the original trilogy that would cause the least harm)

    Reminds me of a Bloom County strip, where everyone starts waxing philosophical about the meaning of life, then Opus comes along and says "you are born, you go on a few diets, you die". I'm with Opus, and changing this to SW "They are born, they get a few force powers, they die"
  14. Dynaman
    Nah, I forget how it all started a couple days ago, but my philosophy is "Don't ascribe to some master plot, that which can be more easily explained by a plot hole" I like Star Wars, plot holes, bad dialog, and all the rest that goes along with it.
  15. Dynaman
    EXACLTY! If no one is looking then there is no need to hide them, unless Vader could sense who they were if he got close enough. To that we add the silliness of leaving them with a known relative (someone looking for them or not, that is just stupid considering the stakes). But I repeat myself.
  16. Dynaman
    From what is shown in the films, that is a good interpretation. That just leaves us to wonder why Luke had to be hidden out in the boonies to get Vader from finding him. We have to totally disregard the fact that they sent him to the one place where any competant government WOULD have found him(*) (if they are looking at all) as well... (and if they bought the bit about the kids dying with Padme, the only way Luke would be found would be for Vader to sense him, and till he is trained that just isn't going to happen) (*) - I assume the Empire has law enforcement of some kind, and they would know that the first thing to do when finding someone on the run is to put a watch on all their relatives...
  17. Dynaman
    It's not a case of looking at it, it's a case of George adding in the bit about Luke being Vader's son later. Ditto my answer above. Luke is Strong with the force, more so then Kenobi, even untrained - supposedly that is part of the reason they sent him out to the boonies to keep him from being sensed by Vader, yet when Vader is a few yards away he still doesn't sense him. Some people try to come up with Arcane reasons for that kind of thing, I call it a continuity error and leave it at that...
  18. Dynaman
    The only thing there at the time Star Wars was being filmed was Ben thinking "I can help this boy more in Death then I can while alive - and Vader does not know it" Vader should also have been easily able to sense Luke while he was on the Death Star (heck, only a few yards away at one point, his force sense ability comes and goes it seems)
  19. Dynaman
    You must be right, I looked around the web and no one else ever mentions the line being changed. Could swear I remember that line though.
  20. Dynaman
    Not worse, and I think the line got snipped from later copies of the movie, but Obi Wan says he never owned droids before, especially not new ones like these - the new ones bit was snipped from later releases of Star Wars (or I am remembering something that never happened, really hard to tell these days). Vader Not remembering 3PO or R2 is pretty bad too. The worst is how they worked around the "Vader murdered your father line", I'd have to say that counts as the worst continuity problem. (Common George, fess up and admit that Vader was not originally Luke's father, that you came up with it between Star Wars and Empire, and I'll gladly forgive all)

    This whole thing reminds me of a Benny Hill skit. Benny is playing an independent film maker being interviewed by Patrick Mcgeee... Mcgee - "You switch from color to black and white when she realizes her world is crashing down, brilliant" Hill- "No, No, No, we run out of color film..." Mcgee - "The leading lady was perfect, except for her lisp, what made you decide to give here a lisp?" Hill - "I did not give her a lisp, she had a lisp" Mcgee - "You searched all England for a girl with a Lisp" Hill - "no, she was the producer's girlfriend..." Sounds incredibly the same as the justifactions being used to cover up the plot holes of the Star Wars prequals...
  22. Dynaman
    I think her dying the way she did was just George not being a very good writer...
  23. Dynaman
    Don't say that to George...
  24. Dynaman
    The book is so different that they are not nearly the same character either though. Only a couple of scenese make it intact from book to movie.
  25. Dynaman
    Long before it was ever even constructed to boot. More seriously - is that pod a re-creation, or did they find one of the original props somewhere (from 2010 I guess, I heard that they destroyed all the props from 2001 so they would not be used over and over in cheap scifi movies like other old starship props had been - look what happened to Lost in Space's robot for example)
