csyphrett Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Re: Science Fiction League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Even Wil Wheaton hated Wesley Crusher. Wes got him more hatemail than any other actor/character on the show. Barkley was worser off than La Forge in my opinion. A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned in one way or the other but I think Lt. Leary, and Officer Mundy, Quig-Quig, Retief, the leader of the white mice from Hammer's Slammers, and a Bolo would make a good team.

I can't imagine why people might be annoyed by the idea of a teenager piloting a multibillion dollar space battleship. Or an untrained eight-year-old flying a starfighter unscathed through an epic space battle to singlehandedly blow up a nigh invulnerable multitrillion dollar space dreadnought. It could happen!

CES The Leader of Alpha Company (The White Mice, Hammer's security detail) was Major Joachim Stueban, crack pistol shot, fruitcake, sociopath... a good guy to have on your side. Note that Special Undersecretary Jaime Retief of the Corps Diplomatique Terrestiene comes from the same universe that the Bolos do, and once used a Mk. XXIII to solve a diffucult diplomatic impasse. (Mk. XXIII Bolo's main armament is measured in MPS. That's Megatonnage per second. Very few problems cannot be solved by dropping a Mk. XXIII Bolo on them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
