Quote:Well of course. These are fans we're talking about here. By nature they're going to drift into similar peer groups, and since those peer groups tend to build up around specific fandoms, hilarity ensues. You've got the Trekkies and the Warsies and the Whovians and the Whedonites and the BSG fans and fifty shades of otaku and they're all jockeying to be Big Damn Heroes to the combined mass of Fandom.
Of course, there's bound to be some malcontents thinking 'hey, no alien life detected? let's _make_ some' and calling dibs on some planet, naming it Qo'noS, and so on and so forth.
Quote:While that would work, laying hands on a submarine would be a bit out of range for your average group of college kids armed with a Plot Device. It'd work as an antagonist, assuming you wanted to drive down that road. ("Onoes, the big bad mundanes are trying to take over our plucky space heroing operation! And they've got better guns than us! Angst! Woe! Heroism!")
Hell, why not use the idea from the Macross SEED thread and instead of building hulls, fit Plot Device into submarines or something.
Quote:Man, I remember seeing that movie when it first came out. That was a great one. %)---
