    Kids these days. No kudos to Jupiter 2.

    Re: Top 75 Spaceships in movies and TV

    They put the Aliens dropship as the number 1 ship. Seriously?

    There were much better candidates. And not a mention of the Sharlin-class Minbarri cruiser or the Agamemnon Earth Alliance Cruiser. All Star Wars and Star Trek (okay that's an exaggeration). I declare the list devoid of any value.

    Not that my declaration means anything.

    The list is wrong wrong wrongity wrong wrong!

    (Briefly explodes in an exhaustive list of dozens of ships that deserve to be on a list of "Top Spaceships in Movies and TV" more than the NSEA Protector from Galaxy Quest, or the "Klingon Tanker" (???)) Uncle Martin's ship from My Favorite Martian makes the cut, but the Death Star doesn't?

    *ahem* (wipes sweat from brow.. takes a cleansing breath).

    It's less a list of "Top 75 ships" and more of "75 ships I could think of before heading to bed on a Wednesday Night after watching Aliens."

    I too was most put out by the absence of any ships from Babylon 5. Especially the Starfury, with the attitude jets on the long lever arms.

    My biggest beef is, as always, the Romulan D'Daridex. The name of this class, according to the sourcebooks, was translated as Executioner.

    But everyone refers to it as a Warbird, because 'all Romulan ships are Warbirds.' Sheer laziness.

    What's worse, it's so prevalent that it was done repeatedly in the various shows. So now calling Executioners by the same name as those piddly little scouts is officially cannon!

    Sigh.

    How could I forget the Starfury? Good call.

    I think the Hammerheads from Space Above and Beyond should have made the list, despite the show being so bad I couldn't even watch it despite my desperate need for Sci-Fi movies and shows.

    But yeah, some great stuff on that list, but a lot of tripe as well.

    That was some great cheese right there. Later on in the season, it actually got pretty okay. There was one episode about the genetically engineered guy that was really kinda cool.

    I agree with the Hammerhead statement.

    I liked that show, I was pretty disappointed when it was canceled.

    Re: Top 75 Spaceships in movies and TV

    This list is so bad I have no choice but to begin work on my own top one hundred spacecraft in science fiction. Actually, spaceships are so *&^%$#@! cool I may drop the SF requirement and include some real world examples.

    This project is gonna take a while....

    After the Terracide... 300 years from today, artificial space colonies orbit distant stars while terraformers labor to create new worlds for humanity. Bizarre aliens come to trade exotic goods unknown to Terran technology. And the lifeless, charred husk of mankind's homeworld slowly cools in the empty, silent void of a dead star system. Welcome to the rest of the Galaxy; It's Dark Out There.

    Then you need to include something from Niven. Just on the names alone (Hot Needle of Inquiry and Lying Bastard are two good ones). Oh, and some Culture ships.
