I really wanted this list of the top 50 fictional weapons to be really cool, but instead, it’s really dorky, too pop-culturish, too video-game-oriented, too “here’s where to buy a replica,” and just … goofy.
- Any list that includes the really stupid “Golden Gun” (of Bond fame) is just wrong.
- Any list that ranks He-Man’s Power Sword over Glamdring, Stormbringer, or the Sword of Omens is hard to justify, too.
- And lightsabers get on there twice?
There are a few good elements, and a few nice reminders of items I would have forgotten, but …
On the other hand, this list of 10 Cheesiest Creatures from the original Star Trek is modestly funny … if sometimes cruel (especially if you’re just critiquing late 60s TV SFX). And actually there are some pretty cool critters there …
They forgot the little bug that crawled out of Chekov’s ear. Brr!
Oops, that belonged in the critters’ post. Stupid convenient Firefox tabs!
Besides which, that wasn’t in TOS, but in one of the movies.
