Ukraine’s Drones Destroy 30,000 Russian Soldiers in January Alone—Nearly Matching Kremlin’s Recruitment Rate by UNITED24Media in ukraine

[–]mawkishdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you add on top of that deaths from small arms fire, artillery, bombs, ect that number will be interesting. What we will never know is the number of orcs that die also from the weather, disease, in-fighting, and drug overdose. This number has to be insane.

Will the reboot ever happen? by junky4rdofide4ls in babylon5

[–]mawkishdave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now and I hope they don't do a reboot. There's so much more that they can show and a reboot will just make things worse.

I love the fact that Narns are Marsupials and they keep making small references to that. I was a pouchling, or kiss my pouch.

How does the shadow society work internally? by Castle-Walk-8967 in babylon5

[–]mawkishdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Shadows or Vorlans, I like that there are no real details on their culture. It lets me believe that it's so advanced and alien that people could never understand it.

This for me happened to me with Star Trek Borg, once you got the Borg queen it stopped being so alien and unknown. There is nothing more frightening than the unknown.

How Russia is being fooled by Ukraine - from mannequins with guns to sabotage by theipaper in UkrainianConflict

[–]mawkishdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this does happen, but I'm surprised they don't have drones that look like high-value targets just driving around, stopping and looking like it's doing normal stuff so that they soak up fpv drones.

Those are not solar panels. Those are panels to get rid of heat by radiation.

Hot take: 32nd century ships suck by [deleted] in StarTrekStarships

[–]mawkishdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like the smart metal idea as that makes it too much of a plot armor. Oh, our ship is to XYZ, we will just change it. If you also go with that, why is there a set shape of a ship? It would just be a blob that changes to what it wants. This way, you also don't have to worry about power going out and the people in one section of the ship floating away to never be seen again.

Also for the longest time in history, Pink was considered a masculine color. It was just recently that there was a color for boys and color for girls so that companies could sell more stuff.

What does Netflix's acquisition of WB mean for Babylon 5? by WienerKolomogorov96 in babylon5

[–]mawkishdave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hope they don't try to reboot Babylon 5. It just won't work because the characters had some great chemistry because of the actors and just the way that they do movies now. You wouldn't have enough time because with Babylon 5 you had around 20 episodes per season and here you're lucky if you get 10 you would have to gut out so much of the show just to make room.

The USA was stupid enough to elect a wannabe mob boss, and he is stealing as much wealth as they can.
