Star Trek has been a bit funny about scale, sometimes they seem to go for space being really, really, big, in the way the Hitchhiker's guide suggests. But then they have a teeming Federation that sounds like it should be all over the place and bustling with life and space traffic.

The English town of Woking put up a sculpture of a fighting machine from War of the Worlds, despite Wells destroying the town in the book because he hated the place so much. Tourist money overcomes irony every time.

Also available on HD-DVD, just for that mid-2000s feel.

This felt like an episode of NuWho that really needed the multi-episode approach of Classic Who. There seemed to be much on offer, but it ended up suggesting rather than showing us anything much.

That little scene with Vir was one of the moments I was waiting for when I started rewatching the series.

That's the worst Team Fortress mod I've seen.

That scene stuck with me as a kid most from his movies, more than the Medusa or skeletons.

Nice guy lives a long life, leaving an indelible mark on film history, not that bad!

Or Babylon 5, but the way their primary cast is dropping like flies, the lost of another secondary character is the least of their worries.

Was he Philipino? Their call centres ring our call centre regularly, I'm surprised at their array of wonderfully Westernised names, like Alvin, Angelo, Anthony…

Awwww, that should have been a firstie. Well posted anyway sir.

I forget, is "asshole" the dubbed line or the original insult?

I thought this was about Dolph Lundgren's musical career and was briefly interested.

I like to cross over Quinn Martin's The Invaders with The Streets of San Francisco in my mind.

Wait, is this like a balloon, and then something bad happens?

Sorry, since the AV Club started reviewing and I found a couple of cheap season box sets I've been tearing through the series, couldn't help but share :(

Seems like most of the female cast of the original series were in bed with the producers of the show, some unwillingly so.

Of course, one of Trek's more memorable deaths. Up there with introducing Lt Sonak and pretty much immediately eliminating him in a transported in The Motion Picture.

One thing the CGI in B5 let the show do was put a bit of perspective into their space battles. Ships just met nose to nose in Trek and used anti-matter weapons at ranges that looked like they were mere metres away from the ship that launched them.

So B5 stars get to have a bit of fun offstage, but Trek actors get molested and leave the show?
