Black metal fans can never be happy, because das Lacheln ist nicht Krieg.

Metal!
Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood.
Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because…

Time to pour out a 40…
…and get out the EC reprints.

Sorry, had to do it

While "The New Generation" was better than "The Robotech Masters", it still doesn't hold a candle to "The Macross Saga".

I think you could get a ton of good movies out of WWI. Hell, just following the BEF from its arrival until the end of First Ypres would make a great BoB-style miniseries. Or the first day on the Somme. Verdun, Cambrai, Messines, Vimy, Tannenburg, Caporetto, Belleau Wood, Operation Michael, the Czech Legion in…

Napalm was still a very new weapon at the time. In the Pacific, it had first been used at Tinian just a few months before Pelelieu.

Hey, I know the exact person you're talking about. I guess NOVA is technically the south though. Now it's all about "making groceries", authentic bars, Jazz Fest, krewing and what a bunch of know-nothing douchebags New Orleeeeeenz tourists are.

Peleliu was one of the first battles in which the Japanese engaged in a massive shift in tactics. Starting with the invasion of Biak in May, the Japanese abandoned their traditional island defense of attempting to annihilate the invasion force on the beaches, and then following with Banzai charges. Instead, they…

It's a tremendous missed opportunity if there was not a bowl of petunias somewhere in this episode.

My main problem with this episode and VotDaleks is that the pace is so damned manic. It's like they were trying to use speed to paper over plot holes you could fly a gravity-bubbled Spitfire through.
