I'm just kind of curious what the hell Nasa thought when Apollo 13 came back missing an astronaut.

Yeah, that annoyed me, too. The solar system has an asteroid belt, but that's way the fuck out past Mars. And even if there WERE an asteroid belt, they would have to try REALLY hard to hit something because space is very big and very empty. It'd be more like "we've flown into an asteroid field!" "Really? I don't see…

Or, considering "The Transporter" is nearly a decade older, "Drive" is just a film nerd version of "The Transporter".

I was okay with the Annie Get Your Gun reference, but that's just because it was a natural fit in the episode. If you'd never heard that song before, nothing they said would've jumped out as weird phrasing that sounds like song lyrics or a reference to something.

Exactly. Every single plot point in the episode required staggering stupidity on the part of our heroes, in a misguided attempt to make that Inventory Droid the most important character of the episode, for some reason.

See, I always liked Chopper as an absolute shitheel. It gives a really good in-universe reason for why people would regularly wipe a droid's memory: let it go too long and it'll turn into a real dickhead. Considering how put-together Hera is, having an emotional attachment to the droid is the ONLY reason she wouldn't…

Wedge was annoying but sorta understandable, Hera doing the whole "What do you mean, lost data? You know I wipe you after every jump. Huh, you must need a charge." was just explosively stupid. Did Hera have a stroke since the last time we saw her?

Yeah, that whole "member of the crew has a perfectly reasonable suspicion and everybody dismisses it because reasons" is among my top ten pet peeves. Even Wedge blowing him off got on my nerves, and Hera doing the whole, "Huh, what's wrong with you not knowing things you clearly should know and acting completely out…

Yes, but C-3PO is talking CONSTANTLY in that Bespin scene. I'm pretty sure Vader would recognize the annoying-as-shit droid he built for his mommy.
But, then again, Leia remembers her real mother from the four seconds before she died in Revenge of the Sith, so, in conclusion, fuck you, George Lucas.

He's like a cat . . . after he takes a shit he just licks his ass for the next hour. Which is why "I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie" is such a great insult.

ANH was in the 1970's, it was a time when people in their mid 20s looked like they were 40.

You could say the same about "The Transporter".

Huh, that must be weird edit of "Baby's Day Out".

Between "Stand By Me", "The Lost Boys", and the "Young Guns" movies, he was a pretty big name in the late 80s, early 90s.

Huh, my first thought was "damn, she's trying like hell to be Eva Green in that picture."

I don't think there's any co-captaining going on, Sara's the captain, Rip is "Mr. Hunter".
He was kind of a shitty captain anyways, so Sara being in charge with Rip being a vast repository of knowledge would be a perfectly reasonable way to move forward.

Well, they found better ways to write every other character than they displayed last season, so I'm sure they can do the same for good-guy Rip.

Oh yeah, the writers of this show shamelessly crib from whatever they've been watching recently. Apparently they saw "The Doctor's Wife" and figured they could do that (complete with evil green-lit ship and personified ship intelligence. The show has established itself as such goofy fun, though, I can't hold it…

I was thinking he'd traveled to the Doctor Who episode, "The Doctor's Wife". That episode even had an evil, green-tinted time traveling ship.

I find it hilarious that, in a show starring Arthur Darvill concerning a time-traveling ship where there were once "Time Masters" but the hero killed them all, we've now introduced a romance between a personification of the ship and the captain of that ship. It's like the writers watch episodes of Doctor Who and say,…
