sci-fi episodes i want:

  • ship’s computer crashes due to virus acquired during a porn download from a lower decks ensign
  • firmware update was pushed out to the fleet, has vital error in the clock program that causes every computer to repeat 2300. translators have to explain to the enemy why everyone is an hour late to peace talks.
  • unintelligble message is sent out into the void because someone’s pet cat walked across their keyboard. message is interpreted as a marriage proposal.
  • universal translators break, everyone is reduced to hand gestures
  • viewscreen has dead pixels in the upper left corner, drives the captain a bit bonkers
  • space gps tells us to take a right where we should take a left. plucky recent academy grad on the graveyard shift realizes that this would take us into the sun and makes the course correction. ship’s computer advises her for two hours to make a u-turn when it is safe to do so

#plot twist: everything that went wrong with nostromo is jones’ fault because he slept over the keyboard

Can I just tell you guys how sick and fucking tired I am of drab, matte-black and gray spaceships that go “thruuuuuuuuuummmmmm” everywhere?

Can I tell you how intensely and powerfully happy I am that the spaceships in Guardians of the Galaxy were brightly-colored and went ZOOOOM and VREEEEE and BRUM-BRUM-BRUM-BRUM-BRUM like PROPER GODDAMN SPACESHIPS?

THESE SPACESHIPS WERE SO COOL YOU GUYS! THEY HAD ANTENNAE AND WINGS AND SHIT HANGING OFF THEM! THEIR ENGINES MADE RACE CAR NOISES AND THEY HAD VISIBLE FUCKING COCKPITS AND THEIR WEAPON DIDN’T GO “broooooooowwwwwwwwmmmmmmmnuh” THEY WENT PTOW, PTOW, PTOW-PTOW! AND WAK-WAK-WAK-WAK-WAK! AND I’M JUST SO HAPPY THAT SPACESHIPS LOOK AND SOUND LIKE SPACESHIPS AGAIN!

AAAAAAAAAAAA SPACE SHIPS!
