Nice article, and scary lead-in picture. I don't believe in Grays, but pictures of them really, really creep me the hell out.

Probably, but Cazadores also have hair, so you could chalk those changes up to artistic license or mutation. If the wiki article on tarantula hawks is correct, then they not only exist in the American Southwest, but actually were the model for FONV's Cazadores.

No, but they will kill America as we know it.

CAZADOR! SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT!

Anything that significantly improves on what you're used to is new (to me, anyway).

I don't think it would be possible. My memory's fuzzy here, but I think that even though the show was actually shot in 16 x 9 (JMS is clever), the visuals were still in 4 x 3, and the most of the animation files have long since been lost or deleted.

Nice radar absorbent paperweights we got there. As cool as I think these planes are, they have got to be amongst the useless tools in the arsenal. Never flown combat missions, no use in the theaters we have now, and, in the 22's case, built to fight an enemy and in a combat arena that don''t exist anymore. The…

Mazda 3, and learn to drive manually!

That's a nice discovery, but I can't help thinking about stealing that rig and putting Gran Turismo on it. My times'll surely go down when I just have to think about braking. Now if they could make that work for cornering and accelerating. Or burnouts. Lots and lots of burnouts.

I love this car, but I know having one would tip me over to my dark side, I could see it now:

I'll bet it never fogged over either!

Oh yeah. The chemistry had more zip, and Foust seemed a lot looser than I remembered him being before the end of season 1. The reduced studio time was a nice change of pace (but for some reason I don't want that to be the new norm), but rip-roaring through the heart of Texas was really what this show needs to set it…

I could imagine the promo copy for that show:

My girlfriend and I had a ball watching it. Very funny, and TGUSA is getting better and better.

Wasn't it retconned to perform 33% faster than the mainline Zaku II?

Thank you!

I bought it, it's made by Moebius, but I did all the heavy lifting like gluing, filling, sanding, and painting.

My Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk. II is coming along nicely. Painting's done, now to finish decals, details, and weathering.

I considered Season 2, but those 2 or 3 filler episodes in the second half knocked it from the top spot. Otherwise, it was still a tight, hair-raising narrative. Couldn't say the same for Seasons 3 and 4, but I still love them.

Right on. I think it's mostly to milk a franchise for all its worth, because it's a huge loss anyway if a show doesn't get past the first or second season. Just look at Japan's Mobile Suit Gundam franchise: amazing sci-fi and war stories, each series (not counting OAVs) numbering 50 episodes, each with a…
