Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 08, 2010

Sigh, good stuff!

Do they sell translation devices for real life? Where can I get one?

I’d opt for the giztookanah ray gun.

This can not be an US spaceship - except for Cliff nobody else is overweight!

Any chance those Pam & the other two could have a pillow fight? just a thought:-P

I think the fish in my ear died.

Reverse the polarity? It’s Dr. Who from the mid 70’s!

Ahhh…Gweedo: you take me back a long way….

I do a lot of work with the DoD… and the only translation I’ve learned is that when they talk about being a team player, it means the project is going to be done their way OR ELSE. Even if it costs several million dollars more than it needs to, and doesn’t do the job it was originally intended to do. sigh

drwatson: Close sir, the phrase was ”REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE NEUTRON FLOW” One of J.Pertwees (The THIRD Doctor ) favorite lines.

Have you seen the food they served on the space station on The Matrix? ‘Nuff said.

@Orgelspieler:

same thing at NASA………………………ahhhh, working for da guberment

They also use such language in the engineering departments of every version of the U.S.S. Enterprise I’ve ever seen. In fact, the language in all three panels is virtually straight citation of one episode/movie or another of Star Trek.

Dr. Who, indeed. Nobody can reverse polarities on whatever gizmo you’re talking about better than Montgomery Scott or Geordi LaForge.

Yes, Jukofurl, I’d like to see that too. Who cares about the techno stuff, any time I see Pam, I’m happy.

Does it help to reverse the polarity by having Brewster use the instrument panel upside down?

LOVE this arc. Thanks Tim!!

Cmdr Tucker From Star Trek Enterprise- I’ll run a full diagnostic.*

*That’ll keep you off my back for an hour or two.

Scotty said he multiplied his repair estimates by a factor of four to maintain his reputation as a miracle worker…but I bet it was really meant to give him some room for error!

Juke, yeah, look at all the babes in panel three. That’s gotta be a record. For all I know, that’s the whole female crew.

I think the usual blond chick should have a name. I mean, look at the size of her waist!

The brunette in the back ground? A good bureaucrat, even under alien attack, the paper work must go on…

Let’s see. If we put our engines in reverse, it might overload their weapons. Yep, nonsense.

If you shift into reverse, it’ll flood the engine. It’s a really old station.
