im worried, ive seen so many star treq start like this, you KNOW something bads gonna happen
Nothing good ever comes from answering a distress call. Ain’t nothing but trouble
the real muffins crew would fly way and not answer………………….to tell the truth, they are rather brave, in the same way an anti-hero is…
Yea, I remember this episode. Not gona end well for someone…
I think there was more than 1 that started like this.
Also, as a troper, I have to say: YAY!
Who the hey comes up with these names? (In-universe, I mean). You build one ship and call it the Muffin, then you build another ship and call it the Xanatos.
Well look at TNG, why was the Enterprise’s sister ship the Yamamoto? At least DS9′s runabouts had a theme to the naming.
A fair point. Still, a breakfast food and a variation of the Greek word for death make odd bedfellows indeed.
I love that you think the “greek word for death” is what they named that ship after.
Honestly, the first thing that came to mind for me was Jonathan Frakes’ character in the Gargoyle franchise.
Good.
Is it wrong that I personally thought of the Star Wars Expanded Universe character?
Is that who Xanatos Gambits are named after? I must have missed the Trope-Namer portion of the article
Wouldn’t that be Thanatos? Which is also a whole different trope
Maybe TNG used Yamamoto because that has the same reverence to the Japanese as the name Enterprise does to the Americans and they were trying to say that prior to the Federation the Earth’s nations must have “joined together” to become a single unified planetary presence? Otherwise they might just have used Yamamoto because it sounds cool or menacing. Ironically Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto of the Imperial Japanese Navy was more responsible for the callous attack on Pearl Harbor than anyone else.
Actually, that ship’s name was the Yamato. That ship was destroyed in the TNG episode “Contagion”.
I really should have looked that up before I said it. Good call.
ive read 4 webcomics so far!!!!
I’m really, really hoping you don’t mean individual daily strips.
No, all the archives to four different webcomics…… make that 5
Good. Some faith in humanity has been restored.
it should have been called “The Cupcake”
There’s a ship named that in Adventures of the S-Team as a non-subtle homage to Legostar, so that would be a no-go.
