    Battlestar Craptacular

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    I can't let this topic be finished with someone saying ID4 was a good example of a great movie. To me that movie personified what is wrong with most Sci-fi.....(too light hearted) Next, I believe Mary Mcdonal (spelling) was in ID4. since you say it had great actors.

    Personally I loved the New Battlestar, I loved the old one too. Too many people are caught up in the old that they can't look at this one objectively. I read somewhere else in this post that someone said that the new show had every Sci-Fi cliche'......Huh.....I thought it was lacking most of the cliche's...( FORCED comedy that most sci-fi seems to have, Too much techno babble, and too much emphasis on effects instead of story. Look what happened to Star Wars)

    Don't get me wrong the show too me still had some flaws, i.e. Colonal Ty wasnt that great and the President's character was a little annoying, but I think she was supposed to be :p

    In my opinion I thought the show was great, and dare I say it....I liked the new Starbuck :rolleyes:

    P.S. I'd agree that it was similar to SAAB but too me the one thing I didn't like about SAAB was that they were trying too hard with all the Military stuff and yet they didn't require Haircutts untill much later in the show!! :p

    Why didn't they use call signs in Macross?

    David and Coota0 are correct, I'm an Air Traffic Controller. Navy, Marine, and Air Force I have their squadron OPS assign them the callsign for that particular flight (usually from a set they normally use.)Coota0 is corect also, according to the FAA 7110.65 (the controller bible) Numbers are to be pronounced separately. It keeps it more clear. HOWEVER, airline and air taxis can have their flight numbers condenced such as US Air 1038 (ten thirty eight). Also, civilian aircraft can have the numbers reduced to the last 3 numbers after intial call-up, N12345 can be called N(november)345 or aircraft type (cessna) 345. We cannot condence Military callsigns though.

    My finished 1/72 Hasegawa YF-21

    Hey WM, I am a huge fan of your models and have learned much from your step by steps. This is in no way a critisism but just a suggestion. I once read an article in Fine Scale Modeler about how to ad more realism to aircraft by filing the very bottom of the tires flat and then either heating or "constructing" a slight bulge to give the apperance of weight to the aircraft. Since alot of your models are built with their gear down and since I have never seen anyone able to give their models as much realism as you do, just thought I'd suggest.

    Hasegawa 1/72 VF-0S?

    in Model kits

    The leg attachments are there. you can see them in the first episode when the Vf-0 flies past Shin on the beach. I've been wondering about that also but then just figured it was just how the Zero is, unlike the Vf-1

    Sort of off topic but are they going to release the fighter from Yukikaze? Not the first Yukikaze but the FAF fighter seen in Operation 1. I'd LOVE to see William do a build up on that Fighter!
