Recon 2020: The Caprini Massacre

  • Dumb quote
  • Narrative crawl
  • Oh, that explains the greys
  • Well, that was overly dramatic
  • Kinda newsreel style opening film clips
  • That is an awful lot of people running around on fire for no obvious reason
  • Zeta quadrant sector
  • Boobies for no obvious reason
  • Nick Cage?
  • Green screen for no obvious reason
  • This guy is a mean, but fair mother fucker
  • First to go, last to know
  • “They’ve been anal probed to death or just turned into god damn cyborgs” (5:52) Not this again!
  • Hey look, Kyra Zagorsky from Helix
  • Treaties are for pussies
  • “Fuckin intel” (6:15)
  • Wall to wall  bullshit military style quotes here!
  • Wing Commander?
  • Aliens?
  • The old passing around the flask tradition
  • Is this a cockpit from a high tech dropship or a Cessna?
  • HR!
  • Blond piloting the dropship is really concerned about her hair and completely open to inappropriate behavior from this military officer
  • Welcome to Vegas
  • Walkie talkie slash motion detector
  • ED-209
  • Cylon?
  • Hand signals
  • So, the sarge takes pride in not getting his people killed?
  • This place is cleared out like a Sunday virgin… (13:22)
  • QUIET! He says, yelling
  • Roach slime
  • Was that a werewolf?
  • Zombie family
  • Viro-organic weapons
  • “Why in God’s name would anyone mess with shit that does this shit?” (21:08)
  • Unnecessary x-ray shot
  • Nobody has seen the M’hars?
  • They landed in the middle of no where, how are they still in buildings?
  • Cyborg sniper
  • Dropship attacked by fighter
  • Puddle kraken
  • Lion man!
  • Nanites, I guess?
  • “LIsten up!” he says, pointing to his eyes
  • “Man bites dog” (31:45)
  • What are the chances the werewolf knows the pilot
  • Oh, flight partner and boyfriend…that’s… not appropriate
  • Is she dating everyone?
  • So was there any actual mission here? They’re just going to head back now?
  • People on riding lawnmowers attack!
  • Well, don’t all move, someone has to keep them suppressed
  • Placing booby trap montage
  • Hey, Neil Napier, also from helix
  • “We don’t rape our enemies, we kill them” Well, that’s noble.
  • Burning fire scene transition
  • Rescue team is incoming
  • So here’s a question, why are all these people taking out what we assume are the friendly military?
  • Just going to re-run the same scene two or three times
  • Alright, they have a beef against the corps
  • Cyborg did’em right?
  • We can’t shoot the babe
  • Why does this woman look like Kara Thrace?
  • Aren’t you still a foot soldier?
  • It strains the M’hars to be in 3D
  • Lady cyborg
  • Let’s have a conversation about why we’re here
  • It’s because his father was anally probed over 200 times
  • Zombies in white jumpsuits attack
  • Cyborgs attack
  • When did we see vampires?
  • Why are we useless in a group?
  • Did she just say “I’ll be back”? Ugh…
  • Cyborgs again
  • Industrial waste Nessie
  • Why are there colonists on this planet?
  • Kind of a hydra thing?
  • If it’s not human it’s not indigenous?
  • What did that conversation get them?
  • “Smells like M’har” in unison
  • Knifing their way into the merc camp
  • This assault on the merc camp feels like it’s going on forever
  • Finally getting Fooks out
  • Yes, nuke it from orbit
  • Casually agreeing to nuke the colony
  • Awkward talk between Fooks and Sharp
  • There’s a planned sequel?
  • Hah, mummy!
