Top Tens

I don't see any problems with building those castles, both on the edges of plateaus, logistics are not so difficult, and a firm foundation.

It's Meteora you have to wonder about, hauling up rocks in baskets by ropes.

Figgy - Tolkien comes quite low on the list!!

Top Ten.... Sci Fi kick ass moments.

There is plenty of Sci Fi that I don't watch, including the much Forumshire beloved Who, but I make no apologies for not watching that rubbish! I am mixing TV and Film here!

10. The Matrix

Poor security guards.



9. Star Trek - Voyager

You were saying...



8. Babylon 5

First real introduction to the Shadows (and they kick ass)



7. Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith

One of a handful of great moments in prequels



6. Stargate - SG1

Goodies get their ass kicked.



5. Star Trek - DS9

Pivotal battle in the Dominion War



4. Aliens

LET'S ROCK!



3. Independence Day

July 2nd!



2. Star Trek - First Contact

Long anticipated first showdown between Picard and the Borg since Locutus.



1. Space: Above and Beyond

Best dog fight in Sci Fi!!

Picard and the Borg was epic.

A few of them wont make sense without the context of the whole series unfortunately.

The Babylon 5 excerpt, for example, seems like nothing at the time but actually forms part of a big story arc. That fleet was going to strike a base of an enemy that had started a war with them with hopes of turning the tide, only to find out the enemy had struck an alliance with an ancient dark alien race and was the beginning of a huge war.

The last one is part of a story arc where they kept going after the baddie and getting their ass kicked. Eventually the pilot in the clip went after him... he is bleeding because he was nearly killed in a previous battle as part of an elite air group and had just had something removed from his head that was helping him keep balanced. He went out for revenge after Chiggy killed one of his squads pilots who had helped him with some personal issues.

No more top tens... Surely people have some top ten something!

10....After eights

8.....walnut whips
7.....Bounty (plain)
