The Adama maneuver was so epic I jumped out of my chair when I saw it for the first time
Yeah, even today decades later that chip gives goosebumps.
5: SG-1 rings aboard against direct orders and chucks a bunch of C-4 at the generator core before escaping in a blaze of olive drab
That's 1 and 3
War Crimes put the "edgy" in strategy.
Who puts the D in strategy?
Every male lead in a SciFi?
Even Picard was getting it on.
"Even" Picard.
As if any of us could be lucky enough to know that shiny domed stallion. The fact that Picard wasn't eyebrows deep in desperate hotties and himbos flinging themselves at his feet is a testament to the show runner's restraint.
I mean sometimes I pronounce it straddgedee. Especially when I blunder in chess.
oh-HO! Like a Tragedy of Strategy! I get it! Very clever~!
The sort of people who think war is a giant dick swinging contest.
Me.
Wait sorry I thought you asked who puts the D in your mom
FUCKING ZINGGGGGGG
I'd like to add Captain John Sheridan's kamikaze attack on the Shadow homeworld with a White Star ship full of nukes.
I think that one pretty much covers all four.
John “Nuke’m” Sheridan.
Where every problem has a nuclear solution.
One of my birthday gifts for my partner was a Cameo by Bruce Boxleitner in which he was reminiscing about his time on Babylon 5 and also his shenanigans in Hollywood with William Shatner.
My partner is watching B5 for the very first time and they love it. They almost had a stroke when Bruce sent his best wishes to them and talked about a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Solid gold.
Holy shit that’s amazing.
Since when is attacking the enemy capital an war crime?
Don't forget "reversing the polarity"
That one is mainly a Star Trek strategy.
"Throw an engineer at it" is a more general one.
also the shutting of all the drones by destroying the mothership
you missed hitting the killbots' predetermined kill limit
Don’t forget big ol worm attack.
My wife said the exact same thing in bed last night.
You forgot again?
Haha she does say that a lot, doesn't she!
Isn't the superweapon pic from when the Entrepreneur channeled energy through the deflector to fire at the borg while Picard was still on board in the season cliffhanger, and then the next season started with it having absolutely no effect?
For "Impossible Strategy" I think of Ender's Game.
Tele-nuke?
Or are we counting that under war crime?
What would you count this one as?
What is that? I don't think I've seen whatever that show is and now I'm intrigued
One off superweapon?
