Could the flashback story in _First Flight_ have been more predictable?

“Okay, here we go. Oops, setback. Oops again, cancelled. Inspiring speech. Maverick behavior. Success! Called on the carpet, but nobody really gets in trouble, and the ultimate prize is won.”

I mean, fuck me with a tri-d chessboard, do they have _chimps_ coming up with this stuff? This would have been a cliche if it were Gil Gerard and Erin Gray acting it out.

And for this they hire a Carradine?

Feh.

Gil Gerard?  
He’s from my state.

“fuck me with a tri-d chessboard”.  
That would make a hell of a sig.

Hey, I saw that one. Jack Palance was in it too. He couldn’t quit futzing with his swirly robe. Wilma and this princess chick were in a steamy oubliette thing, and Buck sneaked in, and got himself up to a ceiling vent by setting off a small grenade under his helmet and launching himself upward. Then he joined Crabbe and a small squadron as they fought a much larger group of enemy fighters who were all being controlled by this one bad guy…

:eek: I can’t believe I know all this. How do I purge my brain?

Funny, but what I noticed when the fight broke out was Trip grabbing both beer bottles off the table. That was true presence of mind.
