The Mad Monk
Spoken like a true Hitler Youth. How old are you? Are you a college student? Do you have any idea what it is like to have financial responsibilities in this country? A mortgage, car payment, day care bills, retirement savings? And as if that is not enough to worry about, we have to also pick up the slack for the millions of people who could not get their **** together when they were capable of doing these things for themselves but are now too old and/or poor to do so. Space travel research money is better spent on easing these burdens for Americans. - bfg9000
Tell your ideas to some poor inner city family whose breadwinner got displaced from his job by an illegal immigrant. Or some old person that doesnt get enough money from Social Security/ Medicare to purchase medication they need. - bfg9000Comment

I just hate it how the guys with the longest (6 or 7 lines okay, upon recalculating I noticed that you have 8) sigs are always the ones which like constantly giving one-smilie-long replies a la Kucinich.
Not everyone has a 2048x1528 ffs, give us a break.Comment

I think the real question here is: what was better? Alien or Aliens?
Alien was more of a bleak portrayal of a postindustrial dystopia, ala Bladerunner. The ship is dark and sprawling, the crew is pale, burned-out, and malnourished. The creature/s feed off of that, or are extension of the pervasive dread.
Aliens is more of a balls-out, Reaganesque, Rambo II shootfest, almost trying to make up for the bleakness of the first movie."Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.Comment

Actually read the book, Both sides relied on a fairly small well equipped force to do ground fighting.Originally posted by VJ
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein was just a piece of mental masturbation made by a paranoid American (who couldn't get laid enough), looking for ways to counter the üntermenschen commie menace (chinamen which bred like bunnies).Comment

1. ST DS9
2. B5 (would be #1, if it wasn't for some critical flaws)
3. ST TOS/TNG
4. SW (would be higher, if it wasn't for Ep 1 & 2)
5. ST VOY/ENTQuod Me Nutrit Me DestruitComment

Wow! My sentiments exactly! I'd be tempted to give DS 9 and B5 a tie for first.Originally posted by Saint Marcus

I weould like to give honorable mention to "Space: Above and Beyond" for portraying the military of the future in a fairly realistic manner (other than the strange wastage of space fighter pilots as ground troops).

DS9 was a good show until they made Sisko a Prophet.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

I liked DS9 - best Trek ever (well, except for Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country)"I read a book twice as fast as anybody else. First, I read the beginning, and then I read the ending, and then I start in the middle and read toward whatever end I like best." - Gracie AllenComment

British Sci Fi. Sort of the anti-Star Trek. Kind of simmilar to Farscape or Firefly, but with british accents. It was shown on some PBS stations.Originally posted by Dr Strangelove

Mr. Garibaldi became one of the richest industrialists in humanity by marrying the widow of one of the richest industrialists in humanity.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
