Eagle, the Jackalope isn't even up for discussion. Although a nice basselope, a big-nosed penguin, or even an occasionally dead heavy-metal playing, sometimes Communist, Meadow Party Presidential candidate might fit the bill nicely.

Considering that the only real sci-fi America is making now is either Stargate, SG: Atlantis, or BSG, why wouldn't the sci-fi stars head to Sci Fi. Now, if only we could see Jolene Blalock and Jeri Ryan on BSG... And I can't wait for Season 3 of Battlestar to come out on DVD. I saw the first two episodes of the season, but missed way too many to even track the storyline this year. And, besides, I f-ing hate commercials...

Be that as it may be, VR, I still don't see Huff contemplating her next move, staring at some cute ::filled with disgust and loathing:: critter. Granted, she did have a Tribble... wretched, bloody little balls of fluff. Even though it swims around, eating, and making little sharks, at least a shark is the top of the aquatic food chain.

I don't know, I still seem to remember (barely, I wasn't even seven at the time) a certain miracle at Lake Placid, in 1980, where a bunch of unknown players from a country known more for it's baseball players defeated the then-hockey powerhouse, with it's State-sponsored professional players. Having professionals on the Olympic team is a good thing, but don't try to stack the deck in your favor. It never seems to work; look at how the Dream Team started falling apart the past couple of summer games. Just my two dollar's worth. Bloody inflation.

First Alien: Did we ever visit this region? 2nd Alien: I could have sworn it was South Park. First Alien: That's it. You're not allowed to touch the helm anymore.

I would add another answer, but I refuse to comment on the grounds that I may be incriminated.

Who knew, Rox? ::smirk:: Besides, I thought she might want something that might actually keep the vermin down on the Hood.

Don't blame me. I voted for the spider.

Date with Moose? Just need to make sure that the winner isn't a subscriber to Field & Stream or a member of the NRA

Huff, get ready for hedgehog hors d'oeuvres for the alligators. That little prickly bugger's up almost 3 to 1 over Mr. "Yo quiero"

I feel so downtrodden. I'm the only one who voted for the cute, cuddly, insect eating spider.

I think what Lo'Ami was referring to was the concussion-- that wall of superdense air, or water, that forms when the warhead detonates. There ain't a lot that can stop something like that. In fact, during Operation: Crossroads, the Bikini Atoll tests, the USS Saratoga was picked up fifty feet into the air and thrown half a mile, during the Baker detonation, which was a submerged nuclear detonation, and the concussion wave was non-compressible water. Pretty impressive feat for a 33 thousand ton aircraft carrier to be thrown that distance. And at the same time, very frightening. On a footnote, USS Saratoga was originally laid down at Camden, NJ, as a battlecruiser. So her armor was almost as thick as a battleship's.

Just as you have no right to contradict me. Ship of the Line is a noncanonical source. However, just to play Devil's Advocate, there is, in Memory Alpha.org, a reference to a second USS Bozeman. USS Bozeman- Memory Alpha Entry It is entirely possible that you have confused the two Bozemans (Bozemen?).

Although, considering that these are Colonial starships we're talking about and not your ordinary average satellite, and they've fought the Cylons before, so they know what their prefered weapon of choice is, the Colonial Navy has probably taken into account for nuclear detonation against the hull, and has appropriately hardened their vessels against radiation and EM pulse. As I recall, the Galactica took at least two hits in the pilot, and survived with minimal damage, and no EM damage.

Ponch goes from patrolling the California Interstates to busting three year olds for going to slowly in school zone

I seem to recall something along those lines when DS9 first aired. And that was because Babylon 5 was already on TV, first PTN, then TNT. And look how successful DS9 became. Maybe branch off then, and look at the SF Marine Corps? Although it might get boring if there's no one to fight. After all, how many times can you watch a bunch of jarheads strip their phaser rifles, clean them, and reassemble them in nothing flat?

How about something along the lines of a Federation BSG-type starship, just without the quest for the missing 13th colony? I think it's about dang time that we see carriers in Star Trek. I mean really, the entire fleet is made up of science vessels, frigates, cruisers, and dreadnoughts?

Heh, let it loose, and it'll take care of any vermin running around the Hood. Including leftover tribbles, rats, rabbits, etc. Although, it might prove a little...distracting, should it pop up in the most unexpected places.

I agree with you on that, Kansas. BSG-1980 gives me nightmares, that's how unbelievably flippin' bad it was. But, Ron Moore could do a much better BSG arrives at Earth scenario. And in fanfiction, it's been done. Sorta. Of course i starts out as a Macross(Robotech)/SG-1 cross: http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/frec...Liberty+Station, then spins off from there to multpile crossovers, including a Macross/SG-1/ST:Enterprise/Battlestar Galactica cross: http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/frec...-+Rag+Tag+Fleet Unfortunately, the Zor's Bet threads seem to have died an ignoble death. Don't rightly know why.

Camel spider. C'mon ain't it cute? We used to keep these suckers as pets when I was in the Sandbox last year.

Ya, sure. That's what the fans all say when they get swept.

'Cept maybe as dinner. Mmmm, hasenphefer.

I hate to say it to all our Canadian brethren here, but the men got swept under the table by Finland 2-0.

I was thinking more along the line of freshwater sports fish. As I suggested, they over populate, you turn some of them into dinner.

As for my favorite ships: Constitution-class, both original and refit; Miranda-class, Sovereign, and Antietam (my own fanon ship)
