    Maybe. Of course, Piggot thinking of attempted murder as Hazing actually makes a depressing amount of sense. In a lot of military and paramilitary organizations, 'hazing' that could easily be lethal if one tiny thing goes wrong is rather common. A little less so these days (because too many...

    Which is why you even brought up the premise at this juncture, I'm sure. Right, so now the goalposts have been moved, let's address the new ones. Whee... Ok, so now you've moved from claiming the smart play was to radio up to orbit and have the ship there drop something to claiming that the...

    Ugh, I can't even say 'goddamn Hollywood' since I don't think enough movies have ever actually used orbital mechanics or impact events at all to be the cause of this nonsense. Alright, let's take this 'one of the MANY replacement trucks' suggestion and actually follow it through. (And for the...

    In theory, yes. In practice, it's a hell of a lot harder than your post implies. Yes you can go boost out to the nearest asteroid, strap a rocket on it, do a bunch of precise calculations, fill it up with reaction mass, and set it on an orbit that will intersect with Pandora...in a few...

    Sublight. The humans in Avatar use a chain of like a dozen sublight ships operating at staggered intervals. The trip to pandora takes half a decade. Also, the ships don't have guns on them, or at least they didn't as of the first film. They're cargo pods with a M/AM engine strapped on, not...

    The question of if a benevolent dictatorship is good or bad in the long run isn't really the point. The point is if a being like Zordon, an ancient wizard of great power who appears to operate via recruiting champions of might to unilaterally act on their own (or his) direction rather than...

    Well, that's a question for the people worshiping him isn't it. So hmm, let's see. Is this wise and benevolent figure of great power who showed up, started building infrastructure, teaching us arts of power, organizing wider projects, brought in sages to instruct the youth, and making fair...

    Sure, the SGC has a sustained pattern of that. The point was to indicate to the poster I quoted why this isn't just a screwup from a protagonist centric 'they aren't letting the protagonist roleplay being a god' perspective. It's a genuine diplomatic gaff, whether the SGC will in story notice...

    Try this thought then. You're the Tau'ri, and your world is in a bad spot. It's a single world under threat by a civilization of vastly larger scale, higher technology, and deeper logistical depth. And that larger civilization is known to be highly aggressive and to be run by egotistical...

    I mean, that's basically the entire context for the setting in existing lore. The age of the Battlemech came around explicitly alongside the point where nukes and ortillery became severely restricted by interstellar treaty on account of too many worlds winding up cinders. And they persist...

    Because to the vast majority of humans throughout history, the Goa'uld do meet the criteria for being 'divine'. Knowledge beyond of depth and breadth beyond a mortals ability to gather, from birth. Relics of power vastly beyond the abilities of their subjects to replicate. Functional...

    A shame, they're well worth a read through. I wouldn't call them amazing, but they're solid. And a lot of the ideas they explore are very interesting. It's a real shame that some of the setpieces from them never got stolen adapted into the SG-1 stuff. Seeing some of them on screen would...

    To play devil's advocate though, the Protectorate/PRT (particularly the Protectorate) is a hell of a lot less insulated from problems than most other alphabet agencies like the FBI. The PRT can probably keep sourcing faceless goons for their swat teams, or whatever they call them, regardless...

    Let's be real, Comics writers being completely out of touch and unaware of how fucked up their plot implications are is like, fifty categories of jeopardy question material, at least.

    That would require any version of Constantine to have some kind of communication skills more developed than pissing off everyone around himself. Utterly impossible.
