I believe I was warned about Apollo and Lancelot in Horatio Hornblower. How the duece, then, did my fellow geeks fail to notice that WEDGE was Captain in this bloody series!?! WEDGE!!!

No wonder he's made captain. By this point, he's still the only Rebel pilot* to make it through all three original Star Wars movies, so he'd better be a frakking captain...

*ETA: Besides Luke, of course, but he doesn't fairly count because he cheats and uses the Force. But Wedge is way up there, yo.

My god - you've been sucked into Horatio Hornblower too, now? How is it? It's one of those half a billion shows I've been meaning to watch.

Fairly good, fairly. A tad predictable, in the sense that most up-and-coming young military man movies are, but not at all hackneyed or bad. Ioan Griffudd is fantastic, the supporting cast does a fine job, too. Worth watching, not really worth owning, but that's not my problem, my family buys anything A&E offers.

Speaking of, since you're someone with (infrequent) taste, you might appreciate knowing DeepDiscountDVD has an A&E box set sale on right now. (Just kidding about the infrequent, really!)

And you might really want to check it out if you don't have the DVDs of that Jeeves show with Hugh Laurie...

"that Jeeves show"? And aren't you the one that's never seen it?

Uh, yes? I wasn't sure you owned it, is all. I don't know why, as I think you offered to loan it to me...

Call it a brain fart?

So good!

It was one of my first fandoms, and I still love it dearly.

Such a cute icon...such a tragic waste.

Lalalalala. I can't HEAR YOU.

(I'm still in denial, if you can't tell.)

It's okay. He's a little more whiney in BSG, but he's got guns...and only a little towel here and there...

LOL - I'd forgotten about that when I'd mentioned Apollo and Mr. Fantastic himself.

*needs to see Jamie Bamber and Ioan in funny hats again soon*

Heh. It's funniest to think of them as the characters they were in other movies in this. If Apollo, Mr. Fantastic, and Wedge were really fighting the French and Spanish, well, god save the King, because the rest of England is safe as nuts.

Three Cheers for King George!

Me, I'm wanting to picture those three in 18c court dress receiving their Order of the Garter after completely destroying Boney's navy. No, I don't have a thing for men in breeches, whyever would you ask? ;)

::giggles:: They'd have an easy fit with Mr. Fantastic, as he'd be able to oblige them by stretching. But where the hell will Apollo park his viper or Wedge his X-Wing while they're getting gussied? I don't suppose the King has any landing platforms?

Heee, let's rewrite the history!

I'm thinking that after Apollo and Wedge save Britain, they can park their spaceships wherever they damn well want to. *grins* Neither breed of fighter seems to be all that tough on the terrain so perhaps King George (The first one to call him Georgie Porgie Puddin' Pie, I'll worship forever) could allow a few bits of his millions of acres of parkland for the care and ~~maintainance~~ feeding of these fabulous steeds.

I'm all for writing history - as long as I get to be there! ;)

Seriously, the first one to call the king names would be neither of them. Unless they dragged in Johnny Storm, Starbuck, and Han Solo with them. In which case, RULE BRITANNIA!!!

Hell, just invite Starbuck. She'd kick non-Anglo ass from here to Sunday, take the throne, and have the country name changed to KICKASS LAND. "Welcome to Kick-Ass. Bend over and present yourself for the national past time, boys."

Damn your inexorable logic! ;) Any one of the three badasses would be up for the challenge of insulting the king, but I don't think I could worship any of them except Starbuck.

Which, if she becomes Queen of Kickass Land (formerly known as the United Kingdom of Tightases) would really be a wise move.

RULE Queen Starbuck! Queen Starbuck rules the ~~waves~~ ~~skies~~ WORLD. Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!

We watched this week's Battlestar Galactica and were bored. Why? Because Her Royal Highness was nowhere to be seen. Then the previews promised us a Starbuck-heavy next episode, and we realized she was just recharging. That's twenty-odd episodes without a break. I fear the onslaught now that she is rested.

So, too, should the rest of the world. When I think of the great tragedies that could have been prevented had Starbuck been around...

--The Black Death brought to an early end when Starbuck not only hunts down and destroys all plague rats everywhere, but her killer immune system fights off the plague and brings a cure to millions.

--The Great Chicago Fire is prevented when Starbuck slaps Mrs. O'Leary's cow and says, "Knock that the frak off."

We should be so lucky were she to favor us thusly. Alas, her kind has not made it so far as Earth just yet...we can only hope she might do so soon...

But Wedge is way up there, yo.

And he's Obi-Wan's uncle. Well, Dennis Lawson is Ewan Macgregor's, but same thing.

Excellent fan-girl. You are strong with the knowledge.

The trivia is strong with this one.

And may the trivia be with you.
