The revival was really disappointing. I only watched a couple of episodes and I was very underwhelmed. Also, Tress MacNeille can’t quite do Dot’s voice anymore.
The Warner’s voices were pitched up a bit in post for the original show and they didn’t do that for the revival, which is at least part of why the three all sound off.
That was probably part of it, but her voice was more off than not being pitched up. I mean I’m not surprised she doesn’t quite remember how to do a voice she last did decades ago. But the bigger problem is it just wasn’t very funny.
This is Romulus. And this is Pinky. You can tell the difference quite easily. One is a lump of inert matter hurtling blindly through the void. The other is the Romulus. – BrainVreenak
Revised uniforms & Worf before getting the shoulder-length haircut, so somewhere in the middle of the series.
The way everyone is standing is so common and repeated that it would take some time to find the episode. However, I noticed their positions and the lighting on the bridge almost perfectly matches the intro of Booby Trap. But the scene doesn’t play out this way, so it might be an outtake from that episode.
As much as I would enjoy it, I cannot commit the next several hours to confirming that theory. :P
They’ve got bugs that can shoot spaceships out of orbit with their butts. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think they could knock an asteroid out of orbit.
Though considering your username it might be you dropping the rocks.
They have almost zero space presence, they only attack the ships from the ground. The only thing they can do with space is sending eggs away. (And those asteroids weren’t knocked out of orbit, they were sent though hyperspace.)
Besides, the movie makes it pretty clear they just discovered they are in a war a few weeks prior.
(And now I’m wondering how the fuck do I remember that well a movie I’ve seen once, a long time ago… Is it actually good and I didn’t notice at the time?)
Hum… Either the brain bugs that started being created weeks prior discovered some mechanism they have been using to bombard the Earth for decades… Or the military speakerheads and the news that lie about literally every single thing we see happening lied about something else.
That was the point. In the books, the bugs had been flinging rocks towards the outer colonies for years, but the attack on Buenos Aires is heavily implied to be an inside job to rally support for an invasion, since they did not have hyperspace tech and no attack had reached the inner worlds, let alone Earth.
I’m finding it very funny, because I though it was incredibly obvious on the movie, and nobody would ever disagree.
Indeed, the movie is way too busy, so it’s easy to miss that there are no insects on space, or that the bugs weren’t even aware they were been systematically attacked until “now”. But it’s one of those things that I expected to be completely obvious once pointed out. It’s even more obvious than what you are narrating from the book, because on the movie Earth has been receiving those rocks for decades.
I imagine people missing the point is part of the point of it. It’s like that gorilla video.
O’Brien was more likely to do other/more-creative things. Reversing the polarity was but ONE tool his his belt. The others, it was almost the full belt.
