I did write a whole LONG list of logical holes and plot holes in a nother thread.
They all stand and you can't dismiss them without provind me wrog (which you can't).
And I'm not talking about "this is not possible, so it's a logical hole" kind of mistakes, I'm talking about plot holes that go against ST physics and races.
Seriously, you must be joking right? In any sci-fi that isn't hard science fiction you'll find plot holes. So, unless you take on Honor Harrington or something don't bother.
Let's see:
B5:
- 2MT nukes destroy a Sharlin. Yet they manage to hold off a shadow slicer for a few seconds on the fin no less.
- They have no viable evidence of Inertial Dampeners, yet a shuttle can pull 24,000 G in the scene that it goes from Mars to Orbit in 10 seconds flat.
- Sheridan flies in a damned space suit holding a nuclear device to destroy the Third Space artefact. If scanners are as good as they are said to be, they'd detect the nuke and blow Sheridan up before he arms the device.
- etc etc etc
SW:
- A small little craft manages to destroy a DeathStar. He can fly all the way to the core and fire a missile. Now even a half finished construction would have some sort of protective layer around the core. Shielding or otherwise.
- T3h Farce. Well, that's just fantasy alltogether. The B5 Psi corps are far more believable in contrast to the Jedi knights of the Round f-ing table.
- Multi gigaton blasts make a 2 meter hole in the ground where it'd normally blow away entire cities.
- etc etc etc
These things are called
PLOT DEVICES[/u].
Well, the second thing was more a oppinion than a fact....
Alltough I still say that he's not fit to be a capitain...
So, your opinion of a captain is someone who blindly follows orders, doesn't take initiative and just sits there? Instead of a good captain who questions his orders if they are just outright stupid? Who questions his entire government when things go haywire and it's the right thing to do?
In other words, you like boring ass captains with the will of a reprogrammed Cylon.
