Ships with a long thing eh? Hmm, the only ship I can think of that hasn't been posted yet is the Xiytiar transport from the X-Wing Alliance game.

May have another for you. The Proteus from the Lost In Space movie of 1998. Seemed to be very Discovery-esque. I don't recall seeing a clear long distance shot of the ship in profile, but there was a tracking shot as the Jupiter 2 zoomed to safety. I just did a cursory Google image search to no avail, but if completeness is what you crave, it bears consideration. (Can't condone anyone sitting through the film, however)

Two words, Balaam -- "Lacey. Chabert." Woot. And of course Gary Oldman always rocks as a scenery-chewing, over-emoting villain, but i mainly watch it for the chicks.

Here we go again with the friggin barely legals. The flare forum is stuck in a Tyken's Rift of lechery. I don't want to contemplate who or what we need to explode to shake loose, but if we don't then by the end of the year we'll be a squirming, writhing mound of biomass, blacklisted and unable to get gigs in this town again.

For that matter, I liked Fantastic Four, too. Both aren't high-brow drama, but they were fun movies.
TPTB should have left the Bird of Prey and Kruge as Romulan villians (and equipment) as originally envisioned for Star Trek III. Klingons and cloaking device don't mix. Klingons are warriors, they don't go sneaking around cloaked. It's cowardly, all this hiding.

Plus one of us might end up on Dateline NBC.
Lost in Space wasn't bad, it just wasn't really a thinking man's movie.

It is true, yes, that anyone who would overlook the splendiferousness of Heather Graham (and, indeed, Mimi Rogers), in favour of the prepubescent Chabert, is a potential nonce and would bear watching.

Watch it, Lee. She was, like, 16 when she did LiS. And I was trying for subtle ironic humour based on our Foley discussion elsewhere. I thought you European types did irony...

(FYI one major issue with LiS is those hibernation suits (or whatever) made the breasts of the girls with boobs (i.e. Mimi and Heather) look all wonky)

I was going to point out that 16 is neither prepubescent, nor legal (barely or otherwise) in most of the US. However, I decided I ought to fact-check that, and it turns out that it is legal in most of the US. So, I guess... rock on?

"I mainly watch it for the chicks". Damn but it is subtle.
Tis as if upon reading it, I was layne on a bed of goslings' down, fleeting and floating into the great beyond, then gently dropped off at the shore of lake irony, whose singlemost drops I could scarcely taste without instantly being gripped by the fiercest lockjaw. I then stripped down to my barest bones, proceeding to scrub every inch of my body with the wet sand encircling the shore, that I may shed myself at last of this antiquated humour mastering my countenance, in the hopes I could one day grasp but the barest iota of the spring steel irony making out the gist of Peregrinus' post - signed, as it was, Orbo Novo.
- How about the Saratoga from "S:AaB", Lurker? It's long and I'll be damned if the middle isn't long as well.
