    Maybe it won't even be a rental after all.

    The article severely brushes over the problems with newer Macross shows getting here.

    > "Gurren Lagann" - see, I can be down with you younglings too! The mecha show that gradually turns everything up to "11", and then KEEPS FINDING BIGGER DIALS. Not my top anime but darn close. You gotta hand it to a show that starts with a kid digging tunnels with a teeny weeny corkscrew thing managing to end where it did and doing so with style.

    The only Managa I have read are parts of Vampire Hunter D and Akira. Of those I liked Akira the most. The art style was more of what I like. D's artwork was very busy, intricate might be a more appropriate word but I don't like it myself. Anime - Valley of the Wind. Still stunning after all these years.

    Both of them appear to love it so I guess it is true.

    Glad I missed the one where Sisko punched Q (or forgot it). They made the character pretty pathetic over the years but I didn't know that had let it get that bad.

    He already did that once (more or less) and no Picard would not want it to happen again.

    Nothing tops "Worf: EAT any good books lately?"

    We did land people on the moon 50 years ago. A number of probes to Mars and one of the Voyager craft has officially left the solar system (I think - I may have the term incorrect). That counts as space travel - NONE of it counts for life from another star system making it to Earth.

    Although I admire the man immensely I never could stand the show. There are others I know who watched it and had fond memories. I'll most likely see the biopic on him since I find the person so interesting (and Tom Hanks).

    I was interested the instant I heard Tom Hanks was playing Mr Rogers. On a side note I saw an outtake from one of those celebrity "gotcha" shows. They set Mr. Rogers up in a hotel and had a bunch of things not work correctly ending with the TV. Mr. Rogers simply brushed off each item saying it was not a problem. The only one I remember exactly was when they said the TV did not work and he said "That's OK, I like to read". At that point the crew came out and said they were trying to prank him and just couldn't. The man really was what you saw on the TV.

    Knowing what I now know of Gatchaman I have to give Sandy Frank credit. I would NEVER EVER NEVER have thought it could be brought to the US in any form back then.

    > As I understand it (and please, anyone with better knowledge correct me here), it's not as though manufacturers keep producing components for a plane after the initial buy. The weapons procurement system in the US (and I would imagine most other countries) is so screwed up(*) that it is possible this is done somewhere somehow but in general you don't do so - it is a waste of money that could be spent more productively. (*) - Buying only X of a vehicle instead of Y even though that jacks up the per unit cost a lot simply to make a budget for a particular year. On the plus side it often keeps employees trained on a system longer in case more are needed later.

    I thought I had seen the worst Robotech Comics could be - I was wrong...
  15. Dynaman
    It also has the best Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty interactions of the entire reboot too. The bad guy was a terrible waste of a great actor though.
  16. Dynaman
    All I got is a title but... "My Dinner with Picard"

    Keeping a small batch of aircraft flying is VERY expensive. Mechanics need to be kept up to speed on those particular aircraft, and if they are aging they will require more maintenance then younger aircraft so dedicated crews, parts would need to be kept on hand and the F14 has some unique to that airframe, etc...

    Being too soon after Perlman's Hellboy had nothing to do with it being a flop.
  19. Dynaman
    I guess it could actually be B4, and Lore is still running around I think.
  20. Dynaman
    That reminds me. Who is playing data? Even under all that makeup Brent Spiner's face is no longer looking that young. CGI maybe... Nope - really is him. Must have done some dieting and LOTS of that pancake makeup.
  21. Dynaman
    The baddies were changed to be invaders from space and the droid thingy added. Star Wars was big back then.
  22. Dynaman
    Oh hell. They might just have snared me.
  23. Dynaman
    Free shipping though...

    Just finished the last episode and now looking forward to the last season - I'm sure there will be one and then be done - the kids are growing quickly and basically they have enough time for one more season before they are adults. A large part of the show is that they are kids and I don't think the (insert term here) can't be replaced once they are adults.
