Star Trek vs. Star Wars vs. Babylon 5 Thread

[Tattila the Hun]

I've always admired centauri eyebrows...

(That's my Dark, Dirty Secret...)

And Minbari hairstyles, Delenn not included.

[GePap]

Mimbari have no hair-how would they have hair styles? Those are supposed to be bonny crests.

[Lonestar]

"It's the bonehead manuever!"

[Dr Strangelove]

Does anyone know what portion of the Babylon 5 series is available on DVD? Is Deep Space 9 on the DVD market yet?

Did you ever notice that the Centauris also seemed to have somewhat prominent canines to go along with their Hungarian accents?

Huh? What do Mimbaris heads have to do with Scottish heraldry?

Yes, several seasons.

EDIT: Seven, to be precise. They're about 110$ each.

All of them

Yep.

The Problem with Star Trek

Lots of criticisms have been aimed at Star Trek, but one that never seems to pop up is their tendency for lame characters.

Most of them look like they were nerds at a convention who won a prize to play a character in a show and just stayed

I mean, what gives with the wimpy black guys? Geordi The Enterprise dude? Even Tuvok was a bit too scrawny. Archer acting angry just looks frustrated as an actor.

Wesley Crusher was the epitome of the wimpy nerd. The only way Star Trek could ever hope to gain widespread following is if it got some tough, menacing actors (as befitting derring-do explorers). And some devastating weapons And get rid of those pyjamas

Hell, why not start a whole new sci-fi concept?!

[Straybow]

"No! For battle come to me!"

I and a friend at work many years ago used that as our way of saying "isn't that lame." Or just injected it wherever particularly funny.

If Worf and Chewie were to fight it out, I wonder who would win? Probably Worf due to his tactical knowledge while Chewie seems to rely upon brute strength only.

Worf would be too busy worrying about his "honor" to notice Chewie had already ripped his arms off. Chewie in 20 seconds.

Ka D'argo would pwn all.

Duh, I have no hair either. Looks good on me.

I think that's an oblique reference to everyone's favorite Transylvanian.
