Oh, come on!

Everybody knows that Galactica could take them both. :P

No way! The Jupiter 2 could wipe them both out with Robot manning the helm and Dr. Smith running the Gay Ray.

Instead of runnning they should have sent Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum, in a shuttle craft, to upload a virus into the Death Star.

With a Mac.

Is anyone surprised at the final decision of the French starship Captain?

Posted by Jason Bontrager at June 12, 2006 01:44 PM

Hey, give him credit. At least he didn't surrender the ship, which he seemed to do about every other episode in the first couple seasons. Running away from something like that is actually pretty sensible.

Danger Will Simberg. DANGER!

Ha. A Blue-Sun/Alliance IAV would kick the crud out of Galactica.

It would then ofcourse be swiftly turned into plasma by a General Systems Vehicle, but for a tiny little while, the Firefly universe would be cooler.

Rand, you have to understand that Picard was born in France. Obviously it's going to take a few dozen tours of duty to beat that reflex out of him.

I remember reading a review of a Star Trek computer game back in the 1980s that had this memorable line:

No, this isn't the new Star Trek where Piccard screams 'I surrender' on all known hailing frequencies at the first sign of trouble. No, this one has Kirk!
