"So, thanks, science. Now we've had the pleasant fantasy of our dinosaur cousins ruined once and for all. What's next? Proving that the Easter Bunny is really a squirrel with a drug problem?"
Your welcome!
Robot Chicken: Star Wars II. Saw this again the other day. Truly LOL
As a STAR BLAZERS fan, one thing in the trailer struck me.
The Yamato deployed an anti-missile/shield? Instead of simply letting the missiles hammer the Yamato thus resulting in the ship on fire and the crew grimacing in pain?
Well that is a fresh take :p
I recall an IBM XL (or something like that) we had at work. Dual 5 1/4 floppy drives and No Hard drive.
My first was an IBM PS/2. 286 processor and a 20 MB Hard drive.
Good times....
As for Spock being the first Vulcan at the Academy, I'm no canon expert but I beleive this is was true for the original series.
You are correct that the USS Intrepid with an entire Vulcan crew was destroyed by a Giant Space amoeba in the oringal series.
The nitrogen thing was interesting. I did not believe the turkey would shatter but I'm skeptical about the bouncing. I worked in a bone marrow transplant lab so I'm familiar with LN2. I've seen it burn skin so pretty carefel around it. A small rubber pippette will shatter if put in LN2 and then thrown at the floor.
The other interesting thing was the nooky. I went through two graduate school programs and never saw that. Maybe it was all the biohazardous stuff laying around that discouraged that sort of thing.
STARGATE: The Next Race of Aliens We Piss Off and Make Mortal Enemies.
Actually a fan of both SG-1 and Atlantis.
Shouldn't there be a category for:
Why do the characters stand around grimacing for several minutes before a fight?
All the videos in this series are highly recommended.
@Grey_Area:
Killdozer, I remember that movie. Rahter scary for a 7 year old as I recall
Quoting Colonel Tigh:
"No frakking way"
OMG!
You didn't include the scene from "The Return" with RDA (in detention cell) and McKay discussing Plan C? As in C4 for blowing up Atlantis' shield generators. Which RDA thinks it sounds more like Plan F as in they are totally Fffed! Actuallu RDA had several good scenes in the two-parter.
As I scrolled down I was sure you would have it near the top. Shame!
OK, I'm a bit of a ship nut. Why the NCC-0514 for the Kelvin? Shouldn't it be NCC-514....
Perhaps more than a bit.
Thanks for the breakdown, I missed quite a bit.
@enewtabie(wants a job at Insomniac Games in NC):
I beleive I saw an news report of an armed robot prototype (fairly dumb one) became uncontrollable and started firing its weapons. I'm pretty sure there were injuries.

Also, the US Army rather quietly removed from sentry duty in Iraq a robot that had been modified with a machine gun. No one is too sure why but the rumors have ranged from loss of operator control to attempted hacking by the insurgents.
@Citizen Kang:
And when you replaced Bob Dole (or was it Bill Clinton?). Classic
No no no.....
The original Johnny Quest is by far the best sci-fi cartoon.
There was one episode were the team came up against an invisible energy monster. That one scared the crap out of me that Saturday morning along time ago.
That was great. Thanks for the alert.
Ok, due to all the hoopla at io9, I checked out last nights episode. I enjoyed it. I will definitely check ou the next show.
@Charlie Jane Anders:
That was a functional jet-pack. Compressed air I think for safety so it only could fly for maybe a minute
