[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wes: [qb] Wasn't the Hobus star supposed to be some crazy supernova that threatened the entire galaxy? Something that many of the Alpha Quadrant races have never seen before? We can toss all scientific knowledge out the window at this point, since this is supposed to be some crazy mega explosion that probably exists in subspace too. [/qb][/QUOTE]That's really lame, though. It's like writing a story about a plane crashing after colliding with a flock of ostriches. (But ostriches don't fly! These ones do! They are unlike any ostriches known to science! Because I am the storyteller and I say so! It's fiction, what do you care??) Yes, there probably are as yet unknown phenomena that would seem unbelievable to us and yet exist nonetheless. This is not a catch-all excuse to invent nonsensical plot devices because you're too lazy to do some research and come up with something logical that doesn't violate basic universal physical laws. Science fiction is at least supposed to have some fundamental footing in, you know, actual [i]science[/i]. And all good fiction should be at least somewhat believable. Besides, not even that flimsy non-explanation you cite was in the film. It's from a non-canon comic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
