No probs. Here, you looking forward to the new Who series whenever it's getting released?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, I can't wait for series 11!

I'm glad one of us is. I'm not exactly thrilled with the new series, mainly because the show's been crummy for nearly eight years this year, and the casting choices (Bloody Whittaker, himself off the Chase and two Hollyoaks has-beens). Regarding the fact that 13 is a she, I'd rather have something like the Doctor in our universe dying permanently, and a female counterpart from another universe takes over, and is played by somebody who's got substantial experience of being in fantasy, sci-fi, spy fiction or period epics/dramas (my choices would include Gwendoline Christie, Virginia Madsen, Sean Young, Abigail Cruttendon, Alice Krige, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Samantha Bond, or, as a last resort, Emma Atkins).
Regarding the companions, I just can't help but feel it's following the same patterns we've already seen recently (the men are no doubt going to be completely useless and the girl's going to be the next Kwisatz Haderach, or invincible/immortal/indestructible, or whatever). Also, why can't they bring back previous characters who'd be great companions, such as Sarah Jane Smith's kids, or the kids of a classic companion?

Honestly I have been enjoying the modern series, and I've got no problem with the casting choices (but that could just be a result of either me generally being willing to tolerate the shows flaws and mistakes (for example, I am willing to tolerate Colin Baker's tasteless outfit), or because I have watched none of the new main casts' previous acting gigs, and thus I don't have a baseline to form expectations from). As for the companions, there might be a change in that pattern (we can't be completely sure if the new series is going to follow it), but it would be kind of cool to bring back previous characters, or their descendants.

I've haven't been enjoying the recent Who series all that much, what with over the top plot arcs, the badly executed companions and the badly written creatures, and everything else. Moreover, I still can't help but feel we'll be having companions who become immortal/Kwisatz Haderach/are useless/whatever. Even worse, they've tried to reinvent the wheel regarding the new series, by not having anything proper fans remember show up.

I especially like your Species 8472 and Cylon ship designs. Any others that you're thinking of doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hello:
Thanks 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why not do some designs of the insides as well? Just a suggestion. Or your own designs of members of each species? Again, just a suggestion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't have any real plans to have designs of members or about the interiors because I wouldn't use those in the game I mod... and also my time is limite 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh. Could always imagine them, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me too actuallly, I wouldn't just truly be able to show them unless I find some alternatives.
But 3d models of interiors are not really used in the games I mod 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like I suggested, just use imagination.
On another note, where do the Hyperborean ships come from? I've only just noticed them now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If the need arises then I'll come-up with something 
The Hyperboreans have the same ancestors than the Lanteans, but they came into existence later and they are developping in the Triangulum galaxy. Maybe not the best place to settle-in because it is still recovering from it's near-miss collission with Andromeda some 200+ million years ago, but it is the richest galaxy in star-formation and, thus, resources too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. Sorry, never watched Stargate the series in its entirity. The designs are pretty cool, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, I thought you did, my bad.
And yeah, I like the designs too, that is why I try my best to make my own versions of those

I used to watch a little bit of SG1 when I used to live in Manchester, along with a few clips (trailers etc.) for the other series. This was when it used to be broadcast on Sky 1, back a few years ago, when I was a kid. I have watched the first Stargate film last year,, in its entirity, but I think that's about it. Sorry.
Good on you, and, keep up the good work, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's fine, no need to apologize
Thank you, and you too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problems.
On another note, any other fandoms out there that you like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Robotech, Stargate, maybe a couple others, heh... but I never see myself as a huge fandom-like person, although some friends say I am a Cylon .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seems a good selection of fandoms. I know of Star Trek, Battlestar and Stargate, but I've never heard of Robotech.
No offence, but how can you say you're not a fandom person, when you've got loads of artwork on your page?
Speaking of Battlestar, which one are you a fan of, original or revival?
What others do you like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hello:
Robotech did born as a miz of three anime series, back then anime was not super-popular and no studios would bring Macross because of too few episodes, so Carl Macek was fored to... ehh... create something, so he created Robotech. In time it took it's own identity and it would kick a$$ if not for the greedy people of the studios that developped it.
Because I must have totally misread you
I actually like both series, the revival was the once I fully watched, but I know the original because of re-runs of the shows decades ago. I am actually making my own 3d model of the classic battlestar
Other series like Farscape, the movie-universe of Starship Troopers too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. Sorry, not too much of an anime enthusiast. I have watched bits of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and (in its entirity) Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, if they count?
Ah well. No biggie.
I've never actually watched either series proper, I've just seen a few clips on YouTube, and I do prefer the classics over the reboots.
Heard of Starship Troopers, not so much Farscape. Sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I have watched none of the new animes, I am of the older-school animations, that is why I know of Robotech and the original Gundam series... and Digimon (unlike Pokemon, Digimon has a plot).
Cool.
Well, if you have taken a look at my gallery then you'll see I posted rnders of my Battlestar Galactica from the original series ->Colonial Battlestar (TOS) , and the folder -> chiletrek.deviantart.com/galle…
That's fine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have watched a very small bit of Digimon. And when it comes to anime, I prefer the classics, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and sometimes Pokemon and Digimon. Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is basically a retelling of the original Highlander movie from 1986, except more anime-ified, if you know what I mean.
OK.
I will take a look at your gallery and see your 1978 Battlestar Galactica stuff.
No biggie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hello:
I do remember Yu-Gi-Oh! too, those were good times
I hope you'll like my 1978 Battlestar Galactica stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right, right.
I do like the BSG 1978 stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed .
That is actually a good series and has a nice universe to work with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right. What's with the picture of Teal'c/Chris Judge?
It's a great series. I wish they'd show it on TV in England.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, I've been using it most times I say "indeed" since that seems to have become his cathphrase somehow
I know the feeling.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I take your word for it.
Happy you do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean, they must've done at some point, but given that CBS Action and CBS Horror/The Horror Channel frequently shows all the live-action Star Trek shows (besides the new one) and used to show classic Doctor Who all the time until roughly last summer, they really ought to show BSG 1978 there. WDYT?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, who knows what the people in charge think about or how they think about things. Although the original BSG was part of the ABC ompany... more than that I have no clue.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you ask me, the leaders of CBS need to take their fingers out of their backsides and start airing BSG 1978, or anything else that's no longer on TV.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Instead of many of the crappy tv-shows they all air nowadays?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No offence, but I never said they were crappy. It's just a lot of the shows they have on in the present are not my cup of tea, if you know what I mean, and a lot of the time it's just the same crap all the time. They ought to start showing BSG 1978, classic Who and early revival (inc spinoffs) and even some of Gerry Anderson's old shows. WDYT?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
None taken
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Which shows have you seen?
It would also be good in some cases, for the nostalgia.
