Mods have been notified. I’ll score this one soon.

Dante, labtrash was not out of line. It’s become a custom to notify the mods when 50 has been reached.

Rule #5 means - maximum of 50 entrants, and I’ll score it when I have time.

Ah, my mistake. Apologies all 'round. Besides, I didn’t say Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica for #2, so my data would have been trashed anyways.

Not bad. If I’d gone with Luke instead of Han (who DOES that?) I’d have finished solidly in the top 10.

9th…woo hoo, and i don’t even like Sci-Fi.

Back to the middle of the pack I go. :frowning:

21st is not bad considering I completely whiffed on the R2-D2 question, I guess.

Whiffed a couple of answers but fortunately they weren’t conches so I didn’t fall too far behind.

I was surprised I was the only person who guessed Invasion of the Body Snatchers though.

D’oh! Just missed qualifying. Ah, well - despite my love of the topic, I see my score would’ve been middling anyway.

Yet another case of knowing too much being a liability in these things. I mean, Klaatu is the originator of the whole “We come in peace” trope! Everything that came after was based on him! Surely everyone knows that, right?

Er, maybe not.

48th place. Typical. :stuck_out_tongue:

But seriously… the Death Star would wipe the floor with the Enterprise. What are you people smoking… and can I have some? :wink:

I’m not seeing it. The Death Star’s main offensive weapons is its big laser. But it doesn’t appear to be very nimble. You can aim it at a planet but not at a moving starship.

The Death Star’s defensive capacity is a bunch of small fightercraft and some short range lasers. The Enterprise would just stand off outside of the range of the lasers, put up its shields, and pick off the tie fighters until they run out. We’ve seen the Enterprise win plenty of battles against ships of its own class. And we’ve also seen tie fighters getting blown up like firecrackers.

In the final phase of the battle, it’s Enterprise vs Death Star one-on-one. And we all know the Death Star has its weak spots. The Enterprise will have been doing scans of the Death Stars and will have spotted those weakpoints. A couple of photon torpedos down the ventilation hatch and it’s all over.

Except that they did just that in Return of the Jedi.

I think an energy beam that explodes a planet probably just has to be in the general vicinity to take down the Enterprise’s shields.

The Death Star had shields too, not to mention 7-9k worth of TIE fighters. I doubt the Enterprise has 7,000 photon torpedos, nor could they shoot them fast enough to destroy the swarm of TIE fighters that are draining the Enterprise’s shields. The DS is about 100 miles in diameter, while the Enterprise is about 600 meters in length. Size matters, especially in a fight where you’re blowing chunks of spaceship all over creation - all things being equal, bet on the larger guy.

I just don’t see the DS losing to the Enterprise in a straight-up fight.

Oh boy, here it comes!

Anyway, this was fun watching, thanks Delores.
