Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath
I’m not going to say Meatfucker did nothing wrong, but I always liked A Frank Exchange of Views .
I’ve always liked Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints
I dunno, man, their names all seem to have a lack of gravitas for some reason

I am mildly obsessed with the Saturn V. It’s just such a feat of engineering and human cooperation.
Space Battleship Yamato, original model
Serenity. Just the nicest “home” you can keep flying.
Penny Royal, from Neal Asher’s Technician and Dark Intelligence.
Mega maid. Commence suction.
Lexx is one of my favourite ships. It was such an oddball show as well.
Given how raunchy and insane that show is, the ship being an enormous dick and balls is so fitting. And I know it’s supposed to look like a dragonfly.
Ha! I literally never thought of that until I read your comment. I always hoped in the end that it would grow some giant wings but I moved out to work in another city and didn’t have cable so I never saw the end of the show. I guess I could download it and find out.
The Red Dwarf :)
The Red Dwarf? Mate, you must be outta your smeggin’ mind!
On my Facebook feed there was a Transformer toy in the shape of Starbug called Smegatron.
While not exactly a space ship, I’d say Thunderbird 2
The lexx of course it’s the most powerful ship in both universes.
BC-304. The Prometheus was so ugly in comparison.
Shout-out to the basic cable show that was giving us Hollywood-level visual effects effects as early as 2004.

The Atlantis Effect: An Interview With Mark Breakspear
GW: Visually, which is your favorite episode of Atlantis so far?
MB: “The Eye.” The Rainmaker team created their own CG software to create the stormy water for the ocean. The level of detail and control has never been seen in TV effects before. Dan and Jose at Rainmaker pulled out all the stops and created mind-blowing shots. I think we went about 3.5 times over budget on that one — but you can’t get away with crap. You guys can spot that a mile away, and nothing kills a show quicker than cheap looking effects.
The Prometheus may have been ugly, but it was my favorite because it was Earth’s first. It was kinda janky and totally experimental, but it was absolutely a necessary step in our advancement of science enabling better and cooler ships like Daedalus. It was usually outgunned and outsized by everything it went up against, but still managed to leave a mark. It saved the day in the battle of Antarctica enabling the discovery of Atlantis.
Do I think it was a better ship? Of course not, it was totally inferior (and ugly). But it made for a better story. For a good portion of the show it was all we had and it was barely enough, but it became more of a character than a tool. The moment the Prometheus was blasted in half was just as serious as any character death (and not just because of Pendergast). It was a huge blow to us and let the viewers know the Ori were a real threat.
Earth’s first
The 302 would like a word 😅
That doesn’t count! It didn’t work!
It did, for very short periods of time. And from that, we got the epic scene where they opened a window through a ship’s shield for a
Death Star runshot at Anubis.Well the 303 worked!
Sure, with a salvage hyperdrive from an Al’kesh. At least until that broke down and they had to upend an entire planet’s beliefs to get home. The original hyperdrive had the same problem as the one from the 302. And the working one came from the Asgard.
Idk. I just couldn’t get over the captain doing his best James Carrey Kirk impression.
Earth: Give us things!
Asgard: lol no
Earth: Give us things!
Asgard: Give back the things you stole!
Earth:
sudoWe saved your skinny butts from the Replicators! Give us thing!Asgard: Okay.
Asgard: Aight imma head out. We’ll leave the light on for you.
I can’t decide between The Planet Express ship and the space Van from Spaceballs.

I remember seeing it for the first time and falling in love with sci-fi forever
