Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 1/20 @ 10 PM ET

Not suspending disbelief during the climax.

That explains so much… :smiley:

Yeah, I’ll be 1st in line to see your sci fi epic movie. Anti-matter that makes everthing disappear and space ships that don’t go “whoosh”. Sheeesh.:wink:

did you miss the “whoosh” in Firefly? hmmmm?

I didn’t think so

LMAO!!

baltar

Grrrr…You got me there. Joss Whedon done fooled me with his fancy cowboy music dagnabbit!

They got antimatter right in the episode with that vampire cloud thing. Blew up half the planet, IIRC.

And 2001: A Space Odyssey? 'nuff said. :cool:

It’s so easy to get mesmerized by the pretty yellow light, though.

(The new frak party threads are up, BTW.)

No no, I’m just needling you. I love good accurate sci fi too.
But I also like me some fancy whooshing spaceships sometimes too.

Didja know Kubrick originally wanted to use nuclear mushroom clouds blasting from the rocket nozzles of the Discovery? They settled for-
nothing.

noticed. may I say you were well chosen for the task. great job

Well guys. This was fun. And I knew it would be fun --specially with you awesome geeks.
But now my Internet connection seems to be in and out.
So I’m gonna say good nite now when I can do so gracefully.

(rasps) I am, and ever shall be, your friend.
Good nite.

Noooo!
Gnite Thot!

Nite Thot.

Dream of Captaining the Enterprise and gettin some green slave tail.

RE: Sound in space.

It’s more about style for me. Star Wars and Star Trek would be weird without sound in space. But 2001 is pure art. It’s really a stylistic choice in my book.

good night Thot. great to have you here tonight!

The sound in space thing doesn’t bother me. It’s just cinematic license. The rest? eh…

Really? I never heard that. Certainly the most feasible energy source of the time. OTOH, if you can’t explain it, don’t. ACC probably had some influence there.

It was an honor to be nominated. :smiley:

May your internet connection be exposed to an unstable Genesis matrix. I assume you carry its Ka?

Some with actual tails!

Agreed 100%. Was just poking badgers with spoons. It’s what I do. :slight_smile:

OK all, I’m going to head out. This was, of course, a blast. See you tomorrow, no doubt!

“I feel young.” :smiley:

Spock was no where near antimatter. That’s in the core. Radiation has to bombard it but it was clogged. Hence, Scotty’s line, “I have to take the mains offline.” It got clogged up and caused the room to flood with radiation. Spock let the spice flow, so to speak.
