Star Trek Phaser sold for 231.000 $

@Zhukov44:

Haven’t seen the new movie yet, but the Clone Wars television cartoon featured some of the best Star Wars storytelling of recent years, especially the season 5 Darth Maul arc.  Star Wars Rebels is watchable but not quite as good, though moving towards climax now with Thrawn as the main antagonist.  Chopper is probably my all-time favorite Star Wars character.

I think Rebels is every bit as good as Clone Wars. I haven’t caught any of the new season yet but I’m eager for it to hit blu-ray. The Rebels creators get Star Wars a lot more than our recent film creators do.

Just now joining the conversation. Star Trek Discovery is in my top two favorite Star Trek series.

It has:

I’ll go out on a limb here an say most of TNG was just plain boring. There were a few interesting episodes but for the most part, boring. Every series after that followed suit until Discovery.

To me, it feels like Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, Star Trek Original Series, and some of the Star Trek movies (new and old), and the result is great. The tie-in to the pilot was genius and basically solidified my opinion of the show.

Though, it must be blindingly bright everywhere on the ship with all of those lens flares. Even J.J. Abrams admited he over used it; why is this series doing the same? “Captain, getting those readings for … arrrgggh, the console is as bright as the sun!”

@Imperious:

Never watch it should fix the problem :mrgreen:

Now after seeing the movie tonight, that would be a mistake. Star Trek is alive.

On the subject of Star Trek, here’s an odd news item: the first Star Trek beer to be licenced by the franchise.Â

Alas, it’s Vulcan rather than Romulan and it’s amber instead of blue – but I guess one has to start somewhere.

We have green beer here.  I’d wager we could add some orange coloring and make it more vulcan…if we can add green, why not orange?

OK, let’s take your therapy one step at a time.  :-D

When you’ve done that, venture out of your mothers’ basements and touch some real grass…. then go back inside and work your way up to shows for older kids. I understand Hanna Montana is great for tweens. Soon, soon my little ones, you will be watching movies for teenagers, and before you know it, adulthood will be just a few short years away.

Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go sit in my library all night and play an online board game while life passes me by.  :-P

You can find reprints of the story at a reasonable price. Usually around a big anniversary the first issue gets a reprint edition and your local comic shop likely has a couple in their back issue bins.

DC has a terrific line of reprint editions called Archive Editions for most of their books.

They are hardbound with glossy paper. You can usually pick them up on ebay at a discount from MSRP.

No, it is an energy weapon.  Even the targetting system of the Phalanx is not THAT good.  And if there IS a targetting system that will fit on a tank that IS that good, then the Phalanx would be turned into a single-shot weapon TOMORROW :-)
