sensible rescue captains are indeed a rare breed. which is odd, because one would think that by pure Darwinism they would be the only captains left.

Covered that in the next episode ;).

Is that supposed to reference something? If so, i am mighty interested to know what :D

Honestly it could be one of two specific things I’m aware of, but can’t remember the name of, one of which was a tamper proof warhead to protect the intellectual property. Which I’m pretty sure would also go off it it takes weapons fire, so yeah, protect the FTL core. The second I think it’s FTL was powered by some nuclear power so it’s a nuke anyway just turn off the safeties and bam.

The writer has said he is a 40k fan and got inspired by 40k

much of the forward section, iirc the contemporary promotional material, was designed after actual gothic cathedrals including Notre Dame de Paris.

If anything, the ship look like it has a Rogue Trader era vibe to it.

There is a certain sense for an organization to investigate. They don’t know what happened, and to prevent a second tragedy, they want to find out why the first tragedy happened. Otherwise, they might miss important clues. Was the Event Horizon attacked by aliens, for example? And in a way, she was.

And this is how the warp works in Warhammer 40k.

@@gundam2jimmy to be fair that is one of the things I sort of do like about 40K, how if someone wanted to write a legitimate horror story you could go ham with hellraiser because a device like that cube wouldn't have to be to special All things considered for a device that interfaces with the warp.

And with the absolute darkest of halos at its pinnacle.

Which is hilarious since the 'upside down cross' is also known as 'St. Peter's cross' and symbolizes his humility of not feeling worthy enough to die the same way Christ did (he's said to have made his last request being crucified upside down for this exact reason).

@@depressedTrent to be fair whenever I would step on Legos it was pretty much the same three bricks so your theory holds some water

@@depressedTrent this makes way too much sense. Brrr

Have you watched the movie? It doesn't even attempt to explain physics in a realistic way, or even a plausible way. The whole movie is just a haunted house in space.

Actually it's more like they got Warhammer 40k...

You missed the perfect reference for cadence and rhyme. They wanted Dune, they got Doom.

it would be a lot better if it wasn't the size of a damned moon with the equivalent turning rate/circle of said moon. What I don't get is how the romulans had 400+ of those plus all their other non-frontline-combat ships but in the spin-off universe somehow was relying on some decrepit old fed captain to manufacture, deliver, rescue and offload the population of romulus when they cold have simply daisy-chained enough ships into orbit that a few hastily replicated crates with life support could have taken the entire population in tow to somewhere safe in a fraction of the time. hell the romulans are bound to have space stations so build a few simplified versions of those in the core system shipyards (where else would you build your ships?) and tow them to safety alongside enough supplies (effectively limitless) to keep the population fed and housed for generations. 1000m long, 700 wide, 1500 "crew", 82 decks. yeah big engines/guns/generator/armour/shield-tech or whatever thats a LOT of space left unused you can cram refugees (happy they are not simply dead) into but no they somehow end up as a bunch of randoms on a wild-west planet bitterly cursing the feds for not saving them, WHERE WAS YOUR GOVERNMENT AND MASSIVE STANDING ARMY OF SPACE SHIPS? pukehard is not just an adequate description of the series it's also the gut-reaction to hearing any of its plotpoints.

@@IRMentat The Romulans were arrogant to an extreme. They didn't believe they needed to evacuate

They are big, but they are also mostly empty space, for reasons which are unclear.

The 'ol impeller wedge.

@@brianreck5971 Nah, that's Honor Harrington tech, this wasn't one of those books.

Path of the Fury/In Fury Born. I think Governor is a prequel set in the same universe, but I've not read it yet. I believe the gravity limitation was for FTL travel; the Fasset drive was both the STL and FTL drive, but it could only go FTL when it was far enough outside a gravity well.

@@mdt105 That's the one, and yeah, the gravity well effecting only ftl sounds right

And there really was no reason for it to /be/ that big.

@@SacredCowShipyards Easier to have a decent lifeboat if it's the size of a cruise ship. Also much easier to ensure that the separation system can't hurt the crew by accident.

and they used amputees to film things that would be otherwise impossible. Which I do wish I could have seen in the preCGI everything era

There is definitely a spike-to-evil ratio alert level.

Pretty sure it had to stay captive, otherwise it would have eaten the ship. That's kinda what they do.

Yo dawg...

That was another example of "space horror" done right.

That movie was F'd up! I loved it!! Took watching it a 2nd time to catch some of the smaller details, but amazing space-horror done right. *and to think it was all because someone, basically, left the lens cap on. 😵

Well, the black hole butt probably couldn't be smaller due to all the necessary equipment, that needed engines with enough of trust, those needing power source with enough of output and not knowing if it's gonna work could easily led to situation, when you have this experimental, complex and awfully expensive system on the edge of solar system and no one to check out why it does nothing. Or replace the fuses. Sure, you could send another ship altogether with this one, carrying necessary technicians, but it's easier and cheaper to put them directly on the experimental ship. It saves you one set of engines and reactor.

@@depressedTrent Yeah, shame about the loss of two crews. Oh, and that they now have demons loose.

@@the_once-and-future_king. no, they don't have demons loose, the drive is destroyed, remaining part of the ship cannot really cause more troubles being essentially just small part of it without the main source of problem and can be easily destroyed. As long as they don't build another blackhole drive, they're good. And they would loose at two crews anyway - after going to check that reappeared experimental ship, just probably even bigger, because it wouldn't be just rescue mission to bring crew home, but full size scientific and engineering contingent to examine ship thoroughly, which would ship probably drag with it to that hell dimension and then would be send the rescue ship resulting in events of this movie. Just with more overall dead people.

@@depressedTrent But the last scene shows the one survivor still seeing Weir. That suggests something is still around and now heading for Earth.

@@the_once-and-future_king. or it could just be a case of good old PTSD. She just woke up from stasis and had hallucinations from the shit she witnessed just before going into said stasis. It´s not exactly far from plausible that her psyche is in complete shambles after seeing literal hell

Extra-dimensional evil forces violating the laws of physics.

"Magic spinny rings."

Tidal forces are not that big outside of the event horizon, especially far from it. Remember that this thing's black hole must have had a mass of tons at best, meaning its gravitational field outside of its event horizon would be negligible. For some reason people think that black holes somehow 'gain' more gravitational power when they collapse, but this is not the case - a black hole the mass of earth would have -exactly- earth's gravitational field - and it doesnt rip anybody. And EH's BH must have been orders of magnitude weaker.

@@SacredCowShipyards: "Magnets, how do they work?"

@@empireempire3545: I am aware of how gravity works. For a black hole to be capable of doing anything useful in terms of bending spacetime on a scale that would matter to a starship, it would need to have a macroscopic event horizon. A black hole that weighs a few tons would have an event horizon about the size of a proton, and would be useless for anything other than confusing your bathroom scale momentarily as the black hole fell straight through your body without touching a single atom within it. Furthermore, the movie shows one of the rescue crew _reaching into the event horizon,_ which blows away any arguments about tidal effects being insignificant at a reasonable distance.

I'm sorry I guess?

Demons to some. Angels to others.

What's weird is /I/ can still see it on my dashboard, which ruins the nominal point of the silly change.
