I agree with your assessment of Full Metal Alchemist. It is one of the few series that does not have many, if any, WTF moments. However, a lot of fans had problems with the end. What is OVA? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 11/26/07 8:14:58 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Love one of the early Space: 1999 eps where they're still in the Solar System. I think they're out near Neptune. There's an abandoned spaceship that has some kind of flesheating monster on it. The creature's like a giant squid or something, with one giant lighted eye in the center of its body.

Keith, I recall seeing on a 1999 web site that an Eagle's max speed was just short of lightspeed. If so, then the issue of range is kind of moot. On another site, the show was referred to as a science fantasy, which would cover a lot of the glaring science goofs, such as the notion of nuclear
