I have returned bearing tidings of woe.

[Lantyssa]

That one is for male twileks.

Cripes, I did it again.

[Jimbo]

Are they trying to shock people?  Some of the art just seems like some of Kevin O'Neill (Marshal Law, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 2000 AD), going for that gritty dark look.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_O'Neill_(comics)

It does seem kinda odd for George Lucas to authorize something like this, unless of course in the end he becomes the good guy and they tool around in a bitchin' hot rod.

[Flood]

Gay.

[Jain Zar]

Actually, the real question is: Why are Twileks considered hot?

Twileks are Star Wars' answer to Elves.

[Ironwood]

Er, no, that's not it at all.

TwiLeks are THE EXACT FUCKING SAME as the Orion women in Star Trek.  Yes, that's right, these hawt and wet horny bitches live to serve and have no other purpose other than facilitating your peen.

[Azazel]

What are Orion women from Star Trek? ST isn't really my sphere of geekdom.

also, you say:

these hawt and wet horny bitches live to serve and have no other purpose other than facilitating your peen.

..like it's a bad thing. ;)

[stray]

They're from the Orion Syndicate, which is basically the Mafia in Trek. Orion slave girls were green, scantily clad, and were always doing some gypsy dance routine. Kirk liked them.

[edit]

Everybody liked them.

[Azazel]

This really requires a link to some pics....

[stray]

The least grainy one I could find (from Enterprise).

[Ironwood]

Actually, it pains me to say it, but that Enterprise episode explained all about Orion Women.


And they had nice norks.

[Horik]

And apparently some decent plastic surgeons!

[Azazel]

mmm, she-hulk.

 

[Llava]

She better not be planning on doing any jumping jacks.

[Yegolev]

The writing on Enterprise must have been total shit for that sort of thing to fail.  I mean, JESUS.

She better not be planning on doing any jumping jacks.

[stray]

It really wasn't that bad. I think it was just the wrong time for another Trek series. Some elements were really great imo (General Shran, for one).

Besides, the episode with the Orion babes was one of the better ones.

[Yegolev]

Honestly, the main reason I didn't get into it was because UPN wasn't available.

[Llava]

She better not be planning on doing any jumping jacks.

Thanks.

[stray]

She does more than that actually.

You guys should check it out. It's funny in a retro kinda way. The episode is called "Bound".

[Ironwood]

Um, you really don't want me to start another rant, but let's just say that Enterprise was awful.  bad writing, bad idea, bad acting, bad characters, even a goddamn bad ship.

It was tripe and I for one was glad when it got shitcanned into the next universe.  It merely continued the woefulness that was voyager.

[stray]

Hey, I didn't say it was the greatest thing or anything. Rant all you want. I'm just saying it had some good elements, and wasn't that bad at times. I picked it up after it was already off the air (and didn't really know a lot about Trek to begin with). Maybe I'm just not picky enough. Maybe it's good to not have high expectations. I don't give even a bit of a flying fuck about "continuity" either (the biggest complaint I see about Enterprise). It's just a TV show.

Again, I thought General Shran was great. Jeffrey Combs (who also played Weyoun and some Ferenghi dude on DS9) is a funny guy. It's cool that he had such a big part in the series.

The big storyarc with those lizard shapeshifter dudes was good.

The Vulcan chick is hot.

Trip and Archer were good characters. The rest of the crew was a bore.

[edit] The best thing, however, was the 4 parter with Brent Spiner and the genetically altered kids (i.e. The "long version" on how the Klingons lost their forehead ridges).

[Yegolev]

Sounds terrible.  I'll have to see if I can torrent it.

[Ironwood]

It was.  It was fucking awful.

[stray]

Either you are the master of hyperbole, or you've never actually seen something truly shitty, Ironwood.

Go watch Torque and come back to me.

[Ironwood]

You're making a mistake if you think I'm on a scale.

Awful is awful.

[Llava]

He has a point.  Is something inherently better because there's something worse out there?

Is Uwe Boll really doing the world a service by indirectly increasing the quality of every movie that isn't his?

[stray]

My only real concern at this point is that Ironwood reserve "fucking awful" for the things that really deserve it. Else it loses it's meaning. Or at least that's how I see it. "Fucking awful" is a precious phrase. Lets not waste it!

Besides all that, I'm not even that big of a fan of the show myself. Once again, I was merely pointing out that it had some good elements. I'm not going to get into some black and white debate about something I don't really believe in nor care about. I'm quite capable of seeing how someone might not enjoy it, and discussing it's pros and cons. But when someone comes in and says it's "fucking awful", I don't know what to say. I simply can not recall anything that was on that level of bad.

[Ironwood]

I found blood in my stool after watching Enterprise.

It was that bad.

Does no-one remember the TimeTravellingSpaceNaziLizards ?

The Prosecution rests.


And seriously, when have you ever known me to do without hyberbole ?  Sometimes we gather in the village and dance around the hyperbole.

[Merusk]

You can do that in Europe, you're a much less puritanical society.  We Americans prefer to keep our hyperbole covered-up, for the sake of the children.

[WindupAtheist]

Update:  I've given a couple issues of this thing a look while walking around Borders at different points over the last few months.  Much to my surprise, it isn't bad.

[Velorath]

I've read the first 3 issues and they were decent enough, but then like I've said, I generally like Ostrander's writing.

[Ironwood]

How's your wrist holding up ?

[WindupAtheist]

Well there weren't any half-naked Twilek horny Sith bitches in the couple issues I've looked at, so when I got thrown out of Borders for beating off in the aisles it was over something else entirely.

[Ironwood]

Fair enough.  I've met some of the hotter helpers in Borders.

[HaemishM]

Did that reporter from Cleveland follow you around with a camera?

[Jain Zar]

Issue 4 is actually pretty awesome if you like Stormtroopers.
I like Stormtroopers.
My collection of things Star Wars tends to involve Droids and Stormtroopers and any Lego vehicle I can afford, so I may be biased here however.
