Kill The Gorn Like Kirk Did

Nick Brown [ Tue Dec 22 2009 9:51 AM ]

Yes, I know Kirk didn’t kill the Gorn. He merely injured it with a bamboo/diamond cannon, then refused to kill it so the energy beings could see how humans were essentially peaceful. Spoiler alert.

Mythbusters is going to try to make a bamboo cannon like Kirk’s (I doubt they’ll use giant diamonds as projectiles) to see if it works. I have to agree that whether it works or not, hundreds of copycat Trekkies will be seriously injured.

Next, I hope they try to determine if good really is stronger than evil by tying their hands together and fighting for the hunting knife.

Thanks for alerting me to all this, Nayder.

The whole scene... [ Wed Dec 23 2009 7:43 PM ]

...wouldn't be nearly as awesome without the awesome Star Trek fight music. Likewise, many of the humorous scenes of such shows as Star Trek, Bonanza, and The Twilight Zone would not have been nearly so side-splittingly hilarious without the funny music.

Sloppy Mythbusters [ Mon Dec 17 2012 3:11 PM ]

The Mythbusters have been sloppy before. They said you couldn't split an arrow like in the Robin Hood movie. Yes, you can, if it's an arrow made from bamboo. They never did figure it out for themselves, they had to be led there by a real atchery expert.
