Pilot Awards Ceremony

You must have no patience, LOAF. Try letting the full WC3 DOS intro play and you'll see Angel's execution. BLAIR never finds out until later.

The warrior king reference was pretty much along the lines of "stand aside, and you will not be harmed" or the like. It was nearly identical to one of his lines in WCA. The duo behind Megas must've watched the show back in the day- either way, both series are completely awesome

No, the player doesn't see it either. The intro scene ends with "... but her lair-mate is the Heart of the Tiger!" and cuts to Blair and Paladin on Vespus. It makes a point of suggesting that she *isn't* going to be executed ("disintegration is not for you") to throw you off. You don't find out what happened after that until you get to the Behemoth series... someone playing through the game for the first time is supposed to believe that they'll eventually save Angel.

The Warrior King wasn't exclusive to Academy, either - he was part of some bizarre cross-promotion (possibly for an animated show which never happened)... and as a result he appeared in all four of USA Network's animated shows that aired on the same day.

It's staggering, really - the four shows were all from different studios/creative teams... and the network even changed the ordinary airtimes to make the story go together correctly. All without the *slightest* bit of promotion or explanation. If you only watched one of them you'd have no idea that it was a four part story.

Maybe the PC version is different, but I'm pretty certain my Mac version shows her execution.
 
I just re-watched the Mac WC3 intro. Actually the Mac version does NOT have Angel being executed at the intro, sorry folks. Good job catching that. It still gave me the impression that the Kilrathi were a strange, barbaric, evil people and I didn't want to fly with one of them. I guess if you had the Wing Commander 2 backstory; made friends with Hobbes and knew he betrayed his people, you might feel differently. While playing WC3 with no idea who this Hobbes guy was, it was a bit much to fly with him right after we learn that they're the enemy.
 
That's because it isn't felt, its green mold. Hey, the break room was so leaky they figured they could make use of it...

I know it's a joke, but my inner jerk feels the need to point out that that was a different break room. :)

Hey, if you can't even fix dying lights and leaky roofs (?!) centuries in the future with the Claw, what're the odds that the Concordia, which actually fell apart more often, is going to fare any better a mere 10 years later?

That would be the Concordia commanded by Geoff Tolwyn :)?
 
Far too uptight to ever use the rec room. I can't picture him anywhere other than the bridge and his office. Maybe in the halls between the two. And maybe in his quarters once in awhile. But Tolwyn in the rec room? Ha!
 
Admirals generally come with lower-ranked aides, who very much can serve (and have served, historically) as a snitch to report on stuff happening in places an admiral won't go. :)
 
True, but after you realize that there's simply no way to keep the table covered without that mold unless they put Hobbes in space...

Is it ever explicitely said that it's felt? Maybe it's just green paint. Or maybe it's green metal that stains as opposed to scratches, so that all anyone has to do is wipe off the table after a game with Hobbes rather than refelt/repaint it.
