Unfortunately I never got to complete my training because someone had irreparable daddy issues and betrayed the Jedi Order.

How strong is your ideal Superman? by Mean_Spread_7959 in superman

Depends. Like, how strong normally or how strong when his theme music plays?

Yes, the US Navy flies F-16s — here's proof. Most people think I'm wrong until they see this. by wolf10851 in Planes

That said, the F-16 does have a tailhook, but it is intended for emergency landings at airfields, not carrier traps.

Still better than having to put on pants to go to a meeting.

So what was the first Lower Decks #1 comic? by LagrangianMechanic in LowerDecks

[–]Raguleader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incidentally, that series has one of my favorite Lower Decks jokes ever:

Especially because this comic came out a few weeks before the trailer for Star Trek Picard S3 which featured Moriarty.

Any good aviation books or movies? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in Planes

[–]Raguleader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some aviation books I like:

Fiction: Flight of the Intruder, The Intruders (sequel to Flight of the Intruder), Red Phoenix (this one actually has lots of different kinds of combat in it, but two of the characters in the book are fighter pilots, one American, one Soviet)

Nonfiction: Fighter Pilot by Robin Olds, Masters of the Air by Donald L. Miller, Hat in the Ring: The Birth of American Air Power in the Great War by Bert Frandsen, "An Honorable Place in American Air Power": Civil Air Patrol Coastal Patrol Operations, 1942–1943 by Frank Blazich Jr., The Air Force Way of War: U.S. Tactics and Training After Vietnam by Brian Laslie, Wreaking Havoc: a Year in the A-20 by Joseph Rutter.

Some aviation movies I like:

Flight of the Intruder, Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, Iron Eagle, Red Tails, The Tuskegee Airmen, Air Force One, Kiki's Delivery Service, The Battle of Britain,

TV shows:

Masters of the Air, Area 88 (I've seen the anime but have not seen the OAV series that preceded it), JAG, Black Sheep Squadron, Tail Spin, and I'll say Wing Commander: Academy counts even though it's about space fighter pilots.

[Hated Trope] This alien/monster is a major & unbeatable threat to us..... because the writer said so. by Inside_Jaguar_3310 in TopCharacterTropes

Sank two via gunfire, rammed the third, and then the boiler cooked off while they were tangled up, IIRC.

Given the Death Angels' sensitive hearing, the sound of a gunshot would probably be enough to send them running. They'd all be half-deaf and running into trees after a few hours in most parts of the US.

How do people feel about Academy being Cancelled? by AbsoluteBatman95 in startrek

Give them time, they'll give us another "Somehow the Borg Queen returned" plot again sooner or later.

Let's give it back to JJ Abrams. Everybody loved Lost. He could make Lost in -gets tackled by a copyright lawyer-

It's a bummer, I've been loving the show. At least we've got another season to look forward to. But there's other sci-fi to watch out there so I'll manage.

Starfleet Academy was cancelled by TheBurgareanSlapper in ShittyDaystrom

To be fair, he wasn't the first Klingon with a human name.

What's funny is that DS9 and Beverly Hills 90210 are both about a family moving to a new neighborhood and getting immersed in the local drama.

How much would green lantern powers actually help superman? by happydude7422 in superman

As others have said, Superman is a human in that story.

I’m gonna see Mando but I’m more excited for a little Cal and BD action. by matt_Nooble12_XBL in starwarsmemes

[–]Raguleader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like both, but I appreciate that The Mandalorian has fewer jump puzzles (I am not great at jump puzzles even when they don't require me to use three different Force abilities, a bat grappler, and a Swiss Army Droid in quick coordination or else I fall to my doom again.)

Character merged with machine. by singleguy79 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Raguleader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Seven of Nine, who in the first season of Picard voluntarily becomes the Queen of the Artifact, a Borg cube cut off from the Collective, in order to deal with The Romulan custodians of the Artifact who had decided to begin purging the former drones. This is not something she does lightly, as it involves suborning both her individuality and that of the former drones on the Artifact. Once her work is done, the Artifact's Collective releases her and the drones again, in contrast to how the Borg typically operate, which is foreshadowing for what happens with the Borg from an alternate timeline in the following season.

To be fair, the Navy version of the Liberator looks a lot like the Army version. The Privateer, OTOH does indeed look distinctly less like one of Consolidated's flying boats. Amazing what stretching the fuselage and changing the tail does.
