[quote who="Wintersong" reply="27" id="3080913"]*points at Jar Jar Binks*[/quote] I have better things to do that complain about Jar Jar Binks, sure he is annoying, but he is also harmless next to TCW and the Legacy era books and comics, which are just bad taste as far as I am concerned.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="22" id="3080897"]Science Fiction is pretty much dead on TV right now.[/quote] Indeed, after Stargate Atlantis was cut short to make way for Universe, only for Universe to not be well received and subsequently canceled. Which led to the third SG-1 movie and the first Atlantis movie being shelved indefinitely, when more SG-1 and Atlantis were what the majority of fans wanted to see, I started getting disappointed. Eureka was the last thing I liked on Sci-Fi, b

Which BSG are you referring to? My family and I couldn't get into BSG re-imagined after having watched just about every original BSG episode during the Thanksgiving Day marathons on Sci-Fi years ago. Stargate Universe didn't work for us either, when it used the same style as BSG re-imagined, in contrast to SG-1 and Atlantis, which we loved.

I absolutely despise The Clone Wars (TCW), because it has no respect whatsoever for the existing Expanded Universe (EU), and blurs the lines between canon and fanon. TCW purposefully contradicts the existing EU every step of the way, from retconning the Tantive IV in Revenge of the Sith to be the Sundered Heart from Star Wars: Empire at War (EaW) to retconning Ryloth, the homeworld of the Twi'lek, to rotate on its axis like every other planet, when the books always had o

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="6874" id="3076037"]Son of a bitch. Are you serious? Blizzard is actually removing the Carrier from the Protoss?[/quote] Yes, I am very serious, Carriers are being removed from multiplayer in Heart of the Swarm, along with Motherships and Overseers. Though I suspect if Carriers aren't in the Legacy of the Void campaign then Blizzard will probably have a riot on their hands. It has to do with Carriers being underutilized, because, unlike in StarCraft,

Reply to Movie snobbage: The Star Wars prequels were bad? THAT bad? What? in Everything Else Sins Forums

I actually like the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy fairly equally. [quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3071618"]Not Star Wars, just the prequels. It has the problem all sudden remakes years later tend to have, everyone thinks they know what Star Wars is, and don't like it when the official version disagrees with theirs. They want the same old thing repackaged as something new. That was not what the prequels are.[/quote] The prequel trilogy was fine, simply becaus

Reply to Nintendo Wii U? WT_? in Console Games Sins Forums

[quote who="RavenX" reply="2" id="3070251"]From what I understand the controller can indeed act as a gaming system. You can load a game from the console to the controller and take it with you, at least in some cases. That's what they said durring the conference.[/quote] From what I heard, Nintendo did a magnificent job of confusing people as to the true function of the Wii U. For example, from what little I saw of the E3 coverage, I assumed it was just a glorified controller for t

No kidding, I noticed this earlier, but I didn't want say anything about. This has got to be one of the oldest necro posts, because I suspect posts can't get much older than 2007.

[quote who="myfist0" reply="3310" id="3065645"]what about another team of borg? I do me as fed vs 9 borg teams [/quote] Indeed, the only scenario where the Borg would ally with anyone is with another Borg faction. Take First Contact for example, if the Borg would have succeeded in contacting the Borg in the Delta Quadrant at the time, and assimilated Earth. Then, they would have surely united, becoming one collective, but still uniting none the less.

Reply to Star Wars Requiem or Sins of a Galactic Empire? in Fan Submissions Sins Forums

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="19" id="3057039"]Not a lot of Star Wars purists like EaW, they got a lot of details wrong and made up their own ships even though there were already popular EU ships that filled that role perfectly (I.e. Tartan patrol frigate instead of Lancer frigate, Assault Cruiser Mrk. II instead of the already existing Assault Cruiser). With Rebellion Requiem will probably get a few "hero" like units, one of the Alliance ultimate abilities already allows them to deploy Rogue

Flagship just means the Kol Battleship is the highest level capital ship for a player, any capital ship can be the flagship. Sadly, it doesn't mean much at the moment.
