I am so happy they have

Space: Above and Beyond in there.


Seconded... I used to love that series. Especially the opening statement from that In Vitro Sergeant...

Damn! haven't thought about it for a long time...

was that episode where someone is falling into a black hole the series finale or just a season finale? I think it was the last one I saw.

I miss it now :D

Oh, and its cool about the Executor class being the biggest... or not. (nerds!)

I remember S:AAB. When it was 'on', it was a great series. When it was weak, it was VERY weak. Hit its stride towards the end of the only season. Notable for that guy who played Buchanan on 24 as a kick-ass commanding officer and having uncreditted David Duchovny play a pool-shark cyborg for one ep.

Am i the only one having difficulty with the Star Wars super duper star destroyer being bigger than Babylon 5?

But yes, a neat site for scifi fans.

Which one? The Super Star Destroyer or the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer?
If it's the first one than your problem is justified, the ship is the same size as Babylon5.
If it's the second, then no, the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer was 17.5 KM long and armed with one super laser weapon capable of cracking the crust of a planet. Bigger and more powerful than B5.

Oh dear. I think I could work out some sort of nerd rating based around the time I spent looking at that...
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

The REALLY huge on at the top.

That chart got the size of the "The REALLY huge on at the top" (The Executor) wrong.
He based the size off estimates he found on theforce.net, a fan site.
If you go back to the first page, you will see that I cite 3 official book based sources confirming the Executor's size to be 8000m.
So you're difficulty is understandable.
Though the other ones labeled "Eclipse Class" are bigger than B5.

Yknow what's really funny... if you go to the bottom of their pixel/meter page, you can find Godzilla, King Kong, Cloverfield and Mr StayPufft!
