That was a good series. And the movie tied everything up nicely! Go watch it all if you haven't!Arnie100 wrote:SRoss wrote:Edwards: "A Little Girl with a cut on her hand! Lisa must be getting des..."#STAB!#

Another great series. And yes, go watch it!taalismn wrote:(POV : Lancer, sitting on a rock under a night sky, looking up at a particularly reddish star...)
Lancer: "Ground Control to Major Tom...you've really made the grade."
Have fun, David, rocking with those Spiders From Mars....
Some type of song?
David Bowie classic: Space Oddity (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D67kmFzSh_o).
Got ya.

Not a bad try.

I have no doubt that Lancer would have used DB as inspiration.
Ya, Lancer is the better one to do him.

Hell wouldn't be surprised if his character was inspired by Bowie.
Well, maybe not as much, because it was made in Japan, but not to say he wasn't either.

Suddenly an Alpha Fighter and a Spartan, with a FAST Pack and a huge Kukuri confornt them.
Anett: (Shield bashes the Spartan) "AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGG!!!!"
Later...
Believer: "Yeah, Commander! It took us a little longer to subdue them then we planned. My Alpha was a little bit too lightweight for what we were fighting. Also Avakuh Khan-Shung is not used to fighting on his back..."
Avakuh: "I'm not used to fighting insane females..."
Believer: "Anyway, Doc's got the red-head strapped down on triple-Setsuna dose of trancs. The blond claims she's an officer in something called the STASI?"
Jones: "Weren't they the secret police group wiped out by the Germans during the Unification Wars?"
Loved the first episode and the "prequel", but that is one messed up universe. If any one universe needed intervention, this one would be near the top, IMO. They need some serious help. Also wandering how high the body count will get with this one.

I believe the Vampire Hunter D artist, Yoshitaka Amano, who CLEARLY was influenced by David Bowie, also once did a render of Lancer(who shares D's androgynous looks, down to the red lips, pale skin, and occasionally skintight punk-clothing). It's even more relevant, given that Amano is also fond of ballet-style opera rednerings, especially of actors-as-fauns.
Interesting.

That can't be good at all.

He better enjoy it. He will be VERY busy afterwards.
