Ambrose Burnside posted:also big ups to ds9 being the last major tv show to ever be like "yeah the good guys were terrorists who killed civilians and noncombatants and were also in the right" IRA funding was alive and kicking back then. It was harder for the USA to justify funding and lionising terrorists after 9/11.

eSports Chaebol posted:I think the Culture would win most sci-fi space battles, not even because of their technology sophistication or the scale of their ships, but simply because Banks took the notion of crazy sci-fi space battles to the logical conclusion of doing poo poo like teleporting singularities right into the middle of the enemy instead of having nice WW2 naval battles with pew-pew weapons in space. I suppose it would look boring on TV or film though, hence the fanciest thing you get is something like the Picard Maneuver. Entertainingly, the wh40k book Priests of Mars has both kinds.
