    Three great roles (totally different characters too) from one great actor.

    Anyone know when the season will finish up?

    If you have not seen the movie be sure to watch it too. An excellent side story.

    I got some story ideas for them! Palpatine 90210. Or Sith Babies. Or Greedo at 16 (yeah, I'm dating myself there)

    To be fair. Lucas pulls the same stunt with Star Wars. He claims, sometime after SW came out, that he had plotted out the whole thing ahead of time. In truth he had a bunch of notes and story ideas, most of which were dropped or whittled away to come up with a feature length movie. Every film has tons of material that never made it to the screen and the Sequels and prequels (even Empire and Jedi) were nothing like what Lucas originally had planned. I could come up with a 300+ series story arc and in a couple days and I'm not a writer. All you need is to stuff in enough filler episode titles.

    I'll use Robocop as an example- the R rated bits MAKE the movie. You just can't have RC with the R. Trying to do so as a PG-13 and R versions is not possible.

    > Untrue. Its the most popular segment but the Southern Cross and Mospaeda/New Generation portions have their fans. OK, it's only true like the line about there being no cannibals in the British army from Monty Python.

    Shooting an R and PG13 version at the same time is a bad idea - it essentially means that the R rated bits will have to be nothing more than needless filler. Otherwise you end up with the mess that occurs when you change "Son of a .." to "scumbum"

    The problem with Commercial space exploration is that there has to be profit somewhere down the line - and not very FAR down the line either. Yes government budgets are at the mercy of politicians wanting some other program but corporate ones are at the mercy of quarterly results being king. That has led to satellite launch vehicles being produced, quite well too, and may eventually be leveraged into platforms to go to other planets - but I'm not betting I'll be around to see it.

    Not mooching off the Russians to get to orbit is a good thing but our manned space exploration budget it still pathetic. You don't get anywhere on the cheap.

    Before I was born we had put multiple men into space. A few years after I was born we put men on the moon. Now we, put men into orbit. I find it hard to get excited, or even care really. All it really does is show the pathetic state of the country's ambitions in regard to manned space exploration.

    Grandpa! Well, I guess I could be a Grandpa now but if my kids wait 5+ more years that would be better. This is a picture of my game table and some of my games in the background. The blog is all about my gaming activity for anyone with insomnia. http://fiftyshadesoffeldgrau.blogspot.com/2014/07/operation-market-garden-is-about-to.html

    Forgot to mention - I went to a presentation on the Apollo computer about a decade ago. Fascinating stuff. A lot of modern computing came out of that program. multi-tasking being one of them. The other I remember is that all the input devices were designed around the gloves the crew had to wear.

    Touchscreens have gotten a LOT better the last few years. The main problem with them in a car is you HAVE to take your eyes off the road to use the damn things - and that is not a good idea. Our SUV's display then occasionally has to gall to put up a warning when you start driving to keep your eyes on the road - to get rid of it and start the radio requires pressing a touchscreen button. What genius thought that up? The old physical knobs and push buttons you could use without taking your eyes off the road.

    I'm a wargamer. Miniatures, Board, and computer. Used to play RPGs and may drift back to that someday but my old group fell apart and when I tried to start a new one a fuzzy creaped me out.

    I was about to say the Jenius family's Latoya, but Mirage IS talented so...

    Star Wars, when it first came out, felt like is was FLYING along the entire time. Two things to remember. First off is that movies of mid seventies were slower paced then movies just a few years later. The other item to remember is that so much visually cool stuff, yes even sand was cool in SW unlike the prequels, that it was moving along at a fast clip the first time people watched it. ESB could only move at the pace it does due to SW having laid the foundation.

    Can't be from the Bionoids version - I checked two missing sequences from that version and they are still there. And unless Roy sounds like a drunken asian trying to sound like a Drunken Englishman trying to sound like a Drunken Texan it ain't Bionoids.

    That is like when Mr. Crabs Daughter asks if the present he got her for her birthday was Gripper Slippers and Mr. Crabs said "Could be"

    Aren't you a little short to be a Zentradi?
  21. Dynaman
    After 2202 that is a scary thought.

    Almost all of the Asimov robot stories. When there is war it is usually in the background. The Foundation stories (ditto - though there are some books that deal directly with war in that series). A lot of Star Trek books are not about war but do have conflict. A number of other SciFi books are about world building and discovering/exploring a planet or system with no war. The latest RCN story had conflict but no war (but it was not one of the better ones in the series). Being a mainly military scifi reader I don't gravitate to others all that often but the Robot series by Asimov is excellent.

    Two episodes in and I really like it. Animation is fluid and just detailed enough. Voices are all good so far.
  24. Dynaman
    Looking forward to it. I was very pleasantly surprised by the first season.

    One Yamato thread for all of it works for me.
