Seat belts.

Which I suspect was the producers taking the piss almost as much as the Star Trek comment, or Cochrane needing to take a piss.

That and they were increasing velocity which creates a sense of weight in the fashion of your chest being crushed.

Obviously, they didn't need AG because Steppenwolf is heavy enough.

Seat belts, sure but how comes their faces didn't look like they were underwater, like the good folk on the ISS

and a good point by young Jason Cory Feldman, if the Phoenix didn't have inertial dampeners...

The only person who looks really different there is the woman, because her hair is longer. Nobody on the Phoenix had long hair.

well maybe it's just me but I think their faces don't look quite as weighed down as they would do on Earth

and they're not doing that slow, wobbling around thing people do in space and talking slightly slower...

I'll kill you for this one... just like I killed Rochey all those times!

Is that where he went? Am I crazy or hasn't be been around lately?

Sadly, he has been killed many times.....and there's a man from Maryland outside my back door, who looks like he once had a beard, standing there with a pickaxe and doing that 'slit throat' gesture at me!!! Gotta go!

Oh, please... if Deep wanted to assist you in assuming room temperature, you wouldn't see it coming...

Unless he wanted you to see it coming and feel the dread. :p

Quick question for our martial historians: I'm in the character-planning process for a bit of fiction, and online research has proved inconclusive. Does anyone know if there were pre-1870 cartridge revolvers in production aside from the Webley RIC, the Beaumont-Adams converted for the .450 Adams, and the Remington New Model Army converted for the .46 RF?

Post by **Mikey** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:59 am

Follow-up: with the Webley Royal Irish Constabulary model, is there any significant advantage - ballistic or otherwise - of the .442 Webley vs. the .450 Adams chambering?
