Will always love the scene where they're on Apophis's ship, looking down over the shield generator. Bra'tac states that to disable it, they need to go on some long cliche sci fi quest of going through multiple decks, flipping various controls, etc to disable the generator. O'Neill just calmly pulls out a couple grenades and drops them into the generator, destroying it.

That's why the Asgard wanted humans as allies. They had a unique but primitive way of tackling problems everyone else had forgotten.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"What do you mean we just blow up our brand new highly advanced spaceship?"

"WTF that worked?!"

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The "O'Neil". Writers were cleverer back then.

There's another guy with only one 'L'

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 5 points 2 months ago

And he has no sense of humor.

Or the time when the Asgard are like “your stupid method of using shotguns against the replicators is surprisingly effective.”

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Well... It also worked against the Borg every time, but Star Trek people insisted on never replicating some.

Maybe they should send the Enterprise back in time to recruit somebody too.

The next bit is gold too.

What now?

Now we die.

Well that's a bad plan. Where are the glider bays from here?

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Are these....shuttles...formidable warships?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago (8 children)

Stargate wouldn't be C4, it would be a Zat'nik'tel.

  • one shot stuns
  • two shots kill
  • three shots vaporizes

Full credit to Shanks for asking the important questions how badly designed a plot device it is. "How long between shots does it reset on the same target?"

This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I love that the p90 was literally designed to be the opposite. it was supposed to be issued to truck drivers and other support type personnel (and close quarters peace time antiterrorism type stuff).

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

IIRC the 5.7mm was purpose designed to punch through paratrooper body armor. It absolutely is a weapon of war.

A thoroughly rousing speech on space ethics from captain Janeway .

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Followed by breaking said ethics/morals/Prime Directive.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] teft@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

With as much temporal shenanigans that she got up to it wouldn't suprise me if Janeway founded Section 31.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 10 points 2 months ago

Uhm. I think you mean from Daniel fucking Jackson.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or just telling the helmsman they're relieved and piloting the ship herself between two stars. Probably my favorite scene of hers. Fuck with her crew and she's pissed. Kill one of them, oh hell...

Star Trek phasers can be rigged to be explode just fine. They have all the functionality of C4 plus some.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

TOS phaser with TNG Picard? C'mon

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Same issue with the lightsaber, how am I supposed to enjoy a lighthearted comic with this bullshit?!

The sonic by far, a lightsaber is probably cooler and phasers are crazy versatile, by the time I stopped watching Doctor Who it was basically a magic wand if it wasn’t always.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

It always was

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Can you imagine the mischief Scotty would have gotten into if he had a sonic screwdriver

I'd gladly pay you yamok sauce on Tuesday for a self sealing stem-bolt today.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel like an idiot.

Everyone wants these things and I don’t even know what they do.

I guess it doesn’t matter, they sell well.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Hasn't Dr. Who canonically killed literally everything?

They've reset the timeline of the entire universe, destroying the previous timeline and everyone in it.

The Doctor committed omnicide to win the war against the Daleks.

The problem solver in Star Wars is an astromech droid.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

C4? Please. How about using an actual Stargate to destroy a system?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

...credit where it's due: the Death Star solved ALL of Alderaan's problems with a single keystroke.

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

If we're going by frequency, for Star Trek, I'd replace the phaser with "reversing the polarity". But I think it's pretty spot-on for the others.

We need a fourth sci-fi franchise that starts with Star-...

EDIT: I just remembered Starfox exists, so Dr Who can be replaced.
