Or serenity, for that matter. And not to be a purist, but my laptop has the Tachi MCRN logo on it. Oh shit, I should get the "a legitimate salvage," too. Great idea, friend, thanks!

Most badass ship from The Expanse imo is the Voice of the Whirlwind, but it didn't make it to the TV show (yet?).

Excuse the ignorance, but what's the ship from 148000? It's looks like BS Galactica?

The reboot of BSG places it 150,000 years before our present.

This made a lot of people very angry. I, for one, liked it. YMMV.

When you say reboot, I was thinking that Esmail's reboot got made without me knowing about it (entirely possible, I'm pretty OOTL on television). I had to look it up that it died in the crib.

I still consider the 2004 series the actual serious BSG. I was around for the original and it was typical 80s schlock, though I loved it as a preteen.

Likewise. I watched the original as a child and loved it. The 2004 series is some of off the finest TV ever made.

The timeline was fine. The way plot threads came together wasn't fine.

Season 3 was some of the most riveting television I have ever watched. I’m a bit of a sucker but I still really liked Season 4 despite its pacing, it was a victim of the writers strike.

I didn't care for their implication that we don't have a clear chain of human evolution in a sci-fi show but I also didn't expect that much from a series that had a running and viable theory that Cylonism was an STD.

Yeah. I was going to expand on that in the comment and decided not to for brevity.

It was only in the final two episodes that the timeline is established and it was the final two episodes that annoyed a lot of fans.

It's a bit weird though, as the mythological baking of the cast would suggest they colonized earth just before the classical era. Trace, Apollo etc.

Needs to have a Spacing Guild Heighliner in there too.

Is the Enterprise faster than the Millennium Falcon?

Can a light saber deflect a phaser beam?

The scale of the star wars universe is much bigger than Star Trek. The millennium falcon can cross their whole galaxy in the time it takes the enterprise to cross federation controlled space, which is just a portion of a quadrant of our galaxy.

Phaser beams travel at the speed of light, and can stay on continuously for long periods, an ensign could hit the button and sweep the beam across a Jedi and kill him pretty easily.

Hmmm....jedi takes it comes back as force ghost and haunts ensign for rest of their days

You could have picked any other titan from that game, and you went with the one that looks like a mushroom... (I would have gone with the Tempest, because of Clear Skies)

Also we dont have defined dates for when the game takes place. We know its atleast ~15k years in the future, but anything beyond that is fuzzy at best.

Yeah, but it's the most commonly used and widely recognized. It probably also wouldn't fit on the cup.
