I am currently doing Bring Down the Sky. I just finished the blasting caps section and it suddenly struck me: these blasting caps remind me of the chompers in Galaxy Quest. A totally inane obstacle is placed in the way of the leading character, not because it makes any sense, but because the writers thought it would make for a cool scene.
"Who ever wrote this episode should die!"
I just did that too! But I didn't think of anything cool like Galaxy Quest. I just thought, "Ughhhhhhh... this again."
Oh, this post was so cruel because it totally made me want a GalaxyQuest and Citadel DLC mashup. You know it would be the most awesome party ever:
<quiet party begins>
FemShepard: Nice to see you. I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite party on the Citadel.
Gwen: This is Commander Shepard, and this is her favorite party on the Citadel.
Jason: We heard you the first... never mind.
Gwen: Don't even start.
Guy Fleegman: Hi, I'm Guy. I'm the plucky comedy relief.
Garrus: Huh. I thought that was my role. No wait, I'm the bromance.
Zaeed: I thought I was the bromance. Big goddamn heroes and all that.
Samara: One must live by one's code.
James: Even the bro code.
Alexander: I played the greatest comedies of our time, on stages across the world, but nobody cares.
Kasumi: ... stealing scenes... did anyone get that? Stealing scenes?
EDI: Oh yes. That was a joke.
Alexander: Acting is easy. Comedy is hard.
Wrex: By Grabthar's hammer... by the sons of Worban...
Alexander: Shut up.
<party amps up>
Liara: What an interesting party, Shepard.
Shepard: Thank you.
Jack: Ha. It's lame.
Liara: It's quite lovely. I feel an even greater connection to you than usual.
Shepard: Thank you. Did you meet the Thermians?
Miranda: The Thermians should be right up your alley, Liara. You could discuss tentacle care.
Jack: I still loathe and despise you, Space Cheerleader. But that was a good one.
Miranda: Thank you. Even I can unwind when given the proper amount of alcohol.
Javik: This mix of primitive cultures and liquor is dangerous. Violence is imminent.
Sam: Sex could be imminent. I'd prefer sex to be imminent.
Jason: Weren't you an extra in Episode 8?
Sam: Nice try. You're not my type. (winks at Gwen)
Guy: I was an extra in Episode 8. And you slept with that Hatarian chick.
Jacob: So Edi... How you doin'?
Joker: Really? Do not even think of hitting on my girl. She may be metallic but she's mine.
EDI: I am disturbed by your idea of love as equaling any kind of ownership.
Sam: You tell 'im Edi. So Edi... are you allowed to shower? Or will you... short out?
Alexander: Don't look at me. I'm off duty and not in the mood for love scenes.
Tali: Love scenes! Have you seen "Fleet and Flotilla?"
Garrus: Oh, yes! It's a very touching love story about two people, two planets, an impossible love story that transcends time and space... ahem. Never saw it.
Fred: That happened to me also. Hell of a thing.
Tommy: Riiiiiight.
<The party amps up even more. There are vorchas. And there is dancing.>
GRUNT enters the room, roaring. Guy SCREAMS and faints.
Guy: Mommy!
Gwen: We have to get out of here before that thing kills Guy!
Jack: Aw. Grunt's harmless.
Joker: Even if he did eat the chandelier.
James: Everybody drink!
Zaeed: I don't want to drink. Not if I'm not the bromance.
Garrus: You are. You are the bromance.
Zaeed: You're just saying that.
James: Dude, I could totally see you being the bromance.
Tommy: Especially if it was one of those buddy-cop movies.
Zaeed: Like Blasto!
Kelly: I love Blasto. I think he's very sexy. "This one asks you if you feel lucky." Just imagine sex with a Hanar. All those possibilities...
Mordin: Oh, dear. Need to discuss issues of safe sex and interspecies intercourse precautions in the near future. Again.
Thane: Doctor, speaking of which, I appreciated the illustrated guide you sent me on human-Drell sex via the extranet. 356 pages. It was most helpful.
Shepard: It was. Especially the footnotes.
Thane: Although I do wish you hadn't copied my entire client list.
Kelly: But back to Blasto...
Shepard: "Well, do you, earth-clan?"
Kelly: That voice!
Shepard: He does have a great voice.
Thane: Um, siha. Standing right here.
Kelly: Siha. I could be your siha.
Jacob: How you doin'?
James: Another drink!
Jason: Ugh. Backwash.
Fred: Groovy.
Shepard: I... should go.
I think the shields on the Luna mission in ME1 and the Reaper code infection in ME3 were even more annoying than the blasting caps. OTOH, neither of those could actually kill you by themselves.
I suppose Kalros has a bit in common with the Rock Monster - neither are exactly friendly but both prove useful against the bad guys in the end.
