I tried, really, got through like 6 episodes, it sucked, unless you tell me they hired a new writing staff after that I do Not understand why that dumbass show keeps getting brought up. I might as well include quantum leap or seaquest by these standards |

Han Solo would shoot him before he got the chance. Han talked to Greedo for several minutes before shooting him under the table. Cool guy line: "Sorry about the mess" Mal walked up, shot the guy threatening Kaylee right in the noggin without slowing down or changing expression, then casually chucked the body out the hatch. Cool guy line: Threatening his crew doesn't earn you a clever quip. |

I own a hardcover first printing of that book! Also, I have to totally add my support to the Maccross/Robotech love. The way Roy Fokker goes out in Maccross (it was edited out of Robotech) was gutwrenching for a kid who absolutely idolized that guy. I thought Rick was a whiney bitch. Also, Khyron is one of the most entertainingly batshit insane badguys ever. |

Ok, obscure ship time?
The cover gives it away, but this thing was so drably utilitarian and so freakishly overpowered that it alone was considered sufficient to carry the most important entity alive in a universe that had been at war at least since Earth coalesced 
Yeah, it looks like a blimp. Streamlined to reduce the friction from interstellar hydrogen |

USS Enterprise 
Though there's no real pics of them, but the Manicoran Invictus class superdreadnought is pretty awesome (Honor Harrington series by David Weber). Also, HIMP Dahak is an awesome ride too (Mutineer's Moon and sequels, also by David Weber). |
