Got to love a good apocalype.
1. Judge Death. Judge Dreddd’s arch nemesis is an undead super fiend who wants to end all crime with the refreshingly simple plan of killing everyone so there can be no criminals.
2. Threads. Threads the UK version of the previously mentioned the Day After, the same basic story but not so happy and uplifting.
3. On The Beach. Once again the world dies in atomic fire except for south Australia where everyone gets to enjoy one last glorious summer before succumbing to radiation sickness.
4. The Ice Scooner by Michael Morcock. On the down side the world is a frozen waste land on the upside everyone gets to zoom around in ice boats hunting ice whales and generally having an ice time.
5. Our man Bashir. The Deepspace 9 episode spoofing James Bond makes my list just for the villians reaction when his mad scheme actually succeeds.
Kirk’s NCC-1701 was a Constitution class, not Constellation. Picard’s first command, the U.S.S. Stargazer, was Constellation class. That class of ship is notable for it’s four-war-nacelle design!
I knew that was wrong when I said it, but didn’t know the right answer, so slid it through for some Faithful Spoilerite to catch…
Sometimes I hate being such a Star Trek nerd. I literally could not stop myself from writing that comment.
