[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [qb] I recall when I first saw the movie [i]Braveheart[/i] thinking how unrealistic it was that Wallace just happened upon one of the great tactical innovations of the Middle Ages--using a tight pike formation to break up a heavy cavalry charge. Then I went home and looked it up, lo, that part of the movie was accurate. Stirling Bridge was the third battle ever in which that tactic was used. [/qb][/QUOTE]Macedonian Phalanx worked in much the same way: the technique was just lost (along with such innovations as the formula for concrete) during the Dark Ages. As to what's plausable: It's obvious that we Flarites dont know exactly how FTL would work or anything about creating cybernetic organisms or the logistics of commanding a spaceborne aircraft carrier but some things seem to be lacking common sense and practicality: Cylon girl's spine gowing during sex for blatant example or their ability to emulate humans at all after living seperately for so long and us not seeing anything like an intermediary stage between these perfect Terminator units and the lunchbox models. ....and for me, the exact terms and methods used on 2003 era aircraft carriers being used by people with zero contact with us now or within at least three thousand years. The aircraft carrier terms would have really enhanced [i]Space Above and Beyond[/i] or [i]Starship Troopers[/i] but it detracts from the concept here. I'm still not writing off this as "bad", just pointing out parts that made me either wince or change the channel the first time through. [/QB][/QUOTE]
