30 days of television: Day 21
Jul. 21st, 2010 11:55 amDay 21 - Favorite ship
Heh and we're up to the "my ship is better than your ship" traditional con debate.
In no particular order:
1. The TARDIS. The ship with everything, except occasionally navigational ability and/or the disguise function working. I quite like the idea of unlimited internal space - it's something my house could use. (Except Dean would then fill it. Hm.) But the forward/reverse feature for time travel would be kind of cool as well though. (And then Dean would use it to go and see concerts and buy stuff to fill up the infinite space. Hm. There is probably a good reason why we don't have a TARDIS.)
2. Red Dwarf. Except for the sharing quarters bit, which would seriously be annoying after a while. Particularly with the toilet actually in the bedroom. You'd need to be on pretty good terms with your bunkmate. But at least it had a couple of nightclubs and a stasis chamber or two.
3. The Battleship Yamato/Argo. The space-enhanced version, not the one sunk in WW2. OK, I like the wave motion gun.
4. The Starship Enterprise (TNG one). At least that one had a bar, if not actually any visible bathroom facilities. Which you think they'd need, especially with a bar on board! (I still maintain that there was a much rowdier bar downstairs where the general crew drank... 10 Forward was a bit too upper ranks, and quiet. Especially if there were engineers drinking. I mean, they never even showed any drinking games happening, let alone anyone actually drunk!)
5. Battlestar Galactica. A working battlestar, and beautifully done, particularly the ongoing decay as the ship aged.
6. The Liberator. OK, it looked a lot like a prop. But it took off really well. Whoosh! Kind of like a Commodore or possibly a Falcon in space. Also? Teleporting. Would be very useful to get to work with.
7. Cloud 9. Such a beautiful ship. With gardens. And the ability to let you forget for a moment that you were actually in space, and pretend you were back on dirt, with sky and trees. And bars. I seem to like ships with bars for some reason.
8. The Shadows. Seriously, one of the best ships ever. They looked like spiders or perhaps irukandji in space. Creepy as all hell, and close to invincible. I quite liked the Vorlon ships as well - flowing, and more organic. But the Shadows win for sheer creepiness.
9. the Cylon raiders. Scary, scary, scary. Red eyes. Scary. And the sound-effect they had was brilliant, and immediately identifiable. And they were semi-organic. Beautiful.
10. The Mandalay. The ship from Love Cruise, a very nice sailing ship. I'd certainly be up for cruising the Whitsundays (or somewhere like that) on it. Outside of cyclone season, naturally.
