Friday Five – Favorite Space Ships
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week I help you get to know me a bit better with the assistance of a top 5 list! This week’s category is: Favorite Space Ships!
Who hasn’t dreamed of flying through the stars? If you’re here reading this, probably you! Space is too majestic to not want to explore. It is the final frontier after all! There are plenty of games, movies, shows, and books that help us feel like we’re there. While they may not always be accurate, space exploration is the dream! This is my tribute to my favorite space fairing ships.
- Nebula Class – Star Trek – While I assume everyone suspected I would pick a U.S.S. Enterprise, I decided to limit myself to one ship per franchise, and frankly, it’s too hard to pick just one Enterprise as a favorite, so instead I’m going with my other favorite. Sure, it’s just a stout Enterprise D with no neck section, the struts upside down, and an AWACS pod on top, but I love that little guy.
- B-Wing – Star Wars – While most people think of the X-Wing when you mention Star Wars, I love the B wing. Mostly because there is no way in hell it looks like a B in any manor. Also I had the model when I was a kid, and it could do all kinds of cool stuff it never really did in the movie, like the ship rotates freely around the cockpit.
- Phoenix – Titan A.E. – Not the Titan itself, but the ship Cale and Akima salvage to use to go find the Titan. It was the ship I used in the Titan A.E. online sweepstakes before the movie come out. Don’t even get me started on those assholes at Fox. I should have won that damn BMX bike, if they didn’t change the rules mid contest!
- Axalon – Beast Wars – I just love the name
- Gunstar – The Last Starfighter – How awesome is it when it uses the “Death Blossom” attack?
