Agreed, although watching Marty and Jennifer gawk as Doc dumped beer and garbage into Mr. Fusion was a funny moment.

Re: Ghostbusters 3

Egon never ceases to crack me up. Janine: "You're very handy, I can tell. I bet you like to read a lot, too. " Egon: "Print is dead." The chemistry of that crew is awesome. The movies created a new formula for blockbusters (See Men in Black, for one). It's too late for a new one,...

Re: Back To The Future

Hell any movie with that car in it is pure win. I fully intend to buy a DeLorean in a couple of years. Sweetest ride ever, despite the fact that it's not really that great a car. :lol: I would trade my DeLorean for a Hoverboard though. My favorite moments are the end of part 2, Marty seeing Doc dis...

I also like the giant capacitor theory - that is something rather simple and feasible enough that it could explain how the ship can manage it's disproportionate output.

Re: Slavery

The Remans I am sure spring to everyone's mind for TNG era exploitation. Bajorans would fit under the catergory of being raped for manpower and resources during Cardassian occupation, probably. The Federation was going to remove the inhabitants of an entire planet and hope they didn't notice in orde...

Re: Arena

I have declared war on the wasps in my area. From my limited ecological understanding they serve absolutely no purpose here except to lead people to mistakenly use pesticide on honey bees which are useful and increasingly rare.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet

"The Dominion Wars Book One" has a nice explanation of what the Centaur was doing. It was working w/ SI (ie drop-offs and pick-ups, maybe some recon) on the border and as it was supposed to be so secret it had to chase down any ship which could report it back to the Dominion (ie, Siskos c...

Re: Star Wars

Thrawn trilogy is the pinnacle of EU for me. The x-wing books are decent. I'm not crazy about the Courtship of Princess Leia but I can't remember enough about it specifically to bash it. IIRC Han Solo wins a planet in a card game in the book, showing that if he really wanted to pay Jabba off he prob...

Re: Star Wars

me,myself and I wrote:Chronologically in the EU what comes next after "Truce at Bakura"?
I believe the early X-wing books, then the Courtship of Princess Leia, then the Thrawn Trilogy.

Re: The type 2 phaser - what were they thinking?

Unsurprisingly though, it's Kira who thought of the idea rather than any of the Starfleet lot. Anyone else, with the possible exception of O'Brien, would probably have tried to overcome the problem by technobabbling the phasers rather than looking for a different type of weapon. It's true! If I rem...

That's right, I think she ends up losing a leg later on too. That would have made for a crazy ep.

Re: Sudden Death

A printout would be cheating since you are supposed to do it by memory. Its like walking into an Exam and asking the teacher if you can use his notes to write part of the test since you can't remember it... That's a really good point. As I said, I'm not incredibly keen on doing that because, like y...

I agree... When I said I felt a little ill about it before, that is actually a pretty big deal because fiction usually doesn't affect my physical well being to any extent! :lol:
