The battlestar universe still uses nukes… One must asume that photon torpedoes are much more advanced. By that same standard cylons would not have a defence against them, while in star trek, nuclear power and weapons are obsolete…
RIPAnother once great comcic goes down the drain. What have Enterprise and battlestars to do with Macromicromedia?And even the strips about the nerds working for Macromicromedia are meanwhile more desolate than reality.
Not sure what Arachnida is missing. WD hasn’t changed all that much. Roy has always lived in his own little world based on shows he believes are real. Jay has always reacted cynically to most things. And today is the first day this week we touched on geek culture. The week started with another of Rita’s bad ideas, and that was strictly to do with the business. The way I see it, the strip has expanded to include a variety of themes and characters, it’s broader rather than narrower, and perhaps some just don’t appeal to some readers.
Roy, maybe Kathy was just trying to broaden your horizons by making you think through this scenario.…But, not having watched the new version of Battlestar Galactica, I can’t really say. I barely remember watching the TV show back in the day, and don’t remember any particulars.
This is one of my favorite strips and the people here have lots of interesting and funny things to say. Undoubtedly the feedback you get is overwhelmingly positive.
BTW, wasn’t there a Star Trek episode where a nuke was fired at the Enterprise and the shields just sluffed it off like a gnat?
I always save WD as the last read comic in GoComics. It’s kinda like saving dessert for last. Roy, Roy; Roy marry the girl and don’t worry about dogma, there is always time to convert them to a “right” frame of mind later. I mean how often do you find a good looking, intelligent, young lady who turns you on and shares your life style?
I think someone has peed in Arachnidia’s cheerios just one too many times. …It’s too bad that she doesn’t see the humor in this strip. I, like ursen1, read this strip last. Always save the best for last.
As a woman who really is not into the star ANYTHING, I still enjoy this strip. And Roy will never find another woman as perfect for him as Kathy, just as my man is perfect for me (NO spectator sports, enjoys an opera or musical comedy with me) and (just as I imagine for them after her Vulcan move the other day) we are a hot couple.
Well, Arachnidia DID start off by proclaiming “RIP.” At that point there was no ‘maybe it’s just me;’ rather there was a flat out statement that the strip had gone down the drain. We so often confuse our opinion and taste with incontrovertible fact.
The Enterprise fights while moving at FTL with FTL weapons. For any race that can only fight while moving sunlight, they might as well be sitting targets. They might be bigger and more powerful, but they can’t see the FTL Enterprise, nor hit it .
@NightGuant49. I wasn’t being nasty. That expression is common in my area as a lighthearted jest that someone has taken something a little too seriously.
I used to read all the comics on this site, and many others. I’ve since gone into severe downsizing mode, and must say that I don’t miss the ones I don’t read any more. And certainly didn’t say anything like “RIP” when I stopped reading them. Just stop – that way, there’s never any need to apologize. It also reduces the grovel factor if you ever decide to go back and read ‘em again, something I’ve done more than once.
Look at the typical geek reaction of only considering the tech and capabilities of equipment. The Cylons would whoop the Enterprise not by technology but by social engineering. They’d have a Number Eight cylon already in the crew, and the captain would have a Number Six in his head. To say nothing of the infecting the ship controls and holodeck. Net result, Star trek crew and Enterprise, toast.

No transporters. Enterprise E would make short work of a battlestar. I have no doubt.

If that’s what your basing your marriage off of, you should really get out of it now. There are more important things to worry about in a marriage.

@ All:Sorry folks, if you like this comic the way it is, it’s fine with me. Have fun! I’ll take my leave.

And I should add that I will be more careful with my comments in the future. Jest and sarcasm don’t come across well in the written word.

Not too sure about Enterprise E against the new BSG Cylon Battlestars. .But how would it do against Moya? (Farscape)
