That effect was actually nicely done until it was over done with the smoke effect... if they had just appeared without the smoke it would have been fine...

It actually looked pretty cool and its amazing how long the actors were able to freeze their poses while the scene was composed and set up to run again.

dOk commented on Hot Cylon Action in Never-Before-Seen Photos from BSG Set @diverguy

Well Terminators are all built differently even the ones that are the same model so why not. Of course for Terminators its because you can't have every large human have the same exact dimensions or they will be figured out pretty quickly.

@darcymcgee

Yea Kraftwerk pretty much paved the way for damn near everything Techno/Cyber/Electronica in existance.

dOk commented on Marvel Tries Ultimate Rebranding The True Origin of the Mutants huh?

I always though that the Shi'ar had something to do with that.

Its quite obvious that The Phoenix entity came from our solar system and its plagued their empire for thousands of years.

So i would venture to guess that they were here... like back when they liberated the M'Kraan Crystal from the planet thats now an asteroid field positioned right where a planet would have been between Mars and Jupiter.

dOk commented on Will Barack Obama Destroy the U.S. Space Program? @moff

No... NASA has only "talked" about mining other places for materials.

The moon mostly has come up but they still have no idea whats actually up there. so they still have no clue as to what there would be to mine.

There is a serious need for probes that can dig deeper into moons and planets, with sensors and actually equipment. Which will mean at some point that humans will need to be there to handle some of that process.

It will be the kind of world hinted at in Blade Runner where they advertised for people for the "off world colonies", which was a dangerous work and living environment so thats why you were given a Replicant to help you.

dOk commented on See The Mad Science That Created Captain America @braak

Actually thats a yes and no question...

There is a series of Weapon Projects but they were all Canadian...

While Wolvie was Weapon X several other members of Alpha Flight were the other Weapon Projects.

All except for Marina as she was hatched from an egg found in the ocean, put there by an alien race for an invasion of earth. She was killed by a huge group of heroes shortly after her marriage to Prince Namor when she morphed into something like the "Cloverfield Monster".

@bluebottle

You must not have seen the "Channeling Dirk Bennedict" moment in the opening of episode 1 of this season. Where our current Starbuck channeled the body language of the original Starbuck for a few seconds...

It was kinda scary yet beautiful at the same time.

"The E.T. videogame wasn't just the most hideous thing ever mde for the Atari 2600 - it was the worst game ever made in the entire world. Rumor has it that it sold so badly that most of the cartridges were turned into landfill."

Thats not a rumor, they buried a warehouse full of them in the Arizona desert, and there was an online project dedicated to finding them.

The people on the site did actually find the location and dug up a couple hundred or so.

btw... I owned a copy and yea it was a totally crappy game... lol

dOk commented on Bionic Beauty Beats Six Million Dollar Rocket @Miranda Kali

The thing is that The 6 Million Dollar Man was a superb show until the network decided to bring Jamie Summers back from the dead by green lighting The Bionic Woman series.

What happened is they took all of the good writers for her show, gutting the writing staff for the Steve Austin series and it never recovered.

dOk commented on Charred Hard Drive from Space Shuttle Columbia Recovered (Best Data Rescue Ever?) Of course no one ever talked about the fact that the Columbia shouldn't even have been flying in the 1st place.

Way back in the beginning days of the shuttle program there was a mission flight cap for all shuttles, that NASA raised later on.

It pretty much makes being in a shuttle that over the original flight cap a very dangerous prospect. The original engineers knew what they were doing when they set the mission cap and as usual they have been ignored.
