Yeah. Blasters would just lock onto the target. | |

How much do they budget for wastage in the weaponry to allow for such poor aim? Any attack must cost so much more than it really needed to. | |

Presumably that's why they resort to hand-to-hand combat with - effectively - swords, rather than using ranged weapons like every other advanced military (European and American armies were equipping their officers with pistols back in the 19th century). | |

Indeed. Merlin Sheldrake's 'Entangled Life' is on my list of books to buy at some point, Robert Macfarlane spends some time with him in 'Underworld' discussing the interconnected of fungi and it is fascinating. https://www.merlinsheldrake.com/entangled-life | |

Sometimes I forget and agree to go see a sci fi film. Went to see Dune and was the same old tedium. Lots of actors titting about in front of a green screen and it just decends into a story of the Pontipines vs the Wottingers for all I care. [Post edited 30 Nov 2021 13:54]

My dad, without prompting, loves to tell the same joke about the Titanic whenever he watches that film. It goes like this. The Titanic was sinking. Passenger: How far are we from land? Captain: Only a few miles. The passenger sensing hope asks ‘Which direction? To which the captain states ‘Down’. [Post edited 30 Nov 2021 14:04]

After the success of Titanic at the box offices, it always amazed me that they never made a Titanic 2. | |

It’s a fantasy. Sci-fi has to be set in a universe recognisably our own with a scientific element so for eg Back to the Future Jurassic Park even Star Trek Your Star Wars your Harry Potter your MCU your Game of Thrones is all fantasy stuff (and usually fash but that’s another story my G) | |
