    Didn't SeaQuest DSV travel in time? Only forward though, so maybe not so impressive.

    @Nudemanatee: No, seaQuest actually traveled backward in time and caused Nuclear annihilation because Russia detected the sub and took it as the US trying to launch a first strike.

    @DoctorZoidberg: well technically it did both, but only the Cuban Missile Crisis episode was it real time travel.


    The jump forward was actually them in stasis for a couple of years while they traveled back to Earth from going to a alien planet thanks to Luke Skywalker. Now how they where able to get to the planet WITHOUT being in stasis but had to be going back... well lets not talk about how stupid those Alien episodes where.

    @Jim Topoleski: Man, I remember the alien-caused forward time travel, but not the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    To think that show started out almost believable.

    Well played, Ms. Anders... but it can't hope to match the Jose Ferrer vs. Burgess Meredith awesomeness that is "The Return of Captain Nemo."

    @SybaRat: The cheap scenery in this wouldn't stand up to the acting that those two did.

    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 literally fell asleep during the beginning. But then it got really cool.

    I feel like the CG and 2D animation could better match eat other's look, but other than that I liked it.


    Now bring back space pirate Captain Harlock!

    @John Hazard: Harlock was the coolest ever, esp. his original Japanese voice. The English dub actor just didn't have the presence.
