No wrong answers. (there IS a right answer though)
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.
i can't remember. wasn't the omnicide being committed by the master?
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.
"What do you mean we just blow up our brand new highly advanced spaceship?"
"WTF that worked?!"
The "O'Neil". Writers were cleverer back then.
Best response to a post I've ever gotten.
There's another guy with only one 'L'
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.”
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.
Stargate wouldn't be C4, it would be a Zat'nik'tel.
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?"
Nah man. P90
This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.
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).
IIRC the 5.7mm was purpose designed to punch through paratrooper body armor. It absolutely is a weapon of war.
Hey you, get that target swingin a little
Just the stun itself is funny how it works - sometimes it takes out people for hours, sometime they are good to go pretty much right after.
I mean to be fair it was not "designed" at all. They needed to get a body out of the way in one episode and didn't have time to rewrite/reshoot so one of the writers was just like "Well, the body just gets shot again and disintegrates..."
Nothing has been disintegrated since 1969
That's not the star trek problem solver, it's not even the star trek problem creator
A thoroughly rousing speech on space ethics from captain Janeway .
Uhm. I think you mean from Daniel fucking Jackson.
Star Trek phasers can be rigged to be explode just fine. They have all the functionality of C4 plus some.
The problem solver in Star Wars is an astromech droid.
...credit where it's due: the Death Star solved ALL of Alderaan's problems with a single keystroke.
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.
It always was
Self sealing stem-bolts.
I'd gladly pay you yamok sauce on Tuesday for a self sealing stem-bolt today.
C4? Please. How about using an actual Stargate to destroy a system?
"You blow up one sun and they never let you forget it..."
We need a fourth sci-fi franchise that starts with Star-...
EDIT: I just remembered Starfox exists, so Dr Who can be replaced.
"Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada"
Starfield (nah, just kidding)
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.
