Too much moaning about people's beliefs, how lazy/busy teachers are and then there's something about Brexit.

So something light-hearted is needed. Get spotting how many sci-fi related characters, ships and such like you can spot.

Recognize a lot but I don't know names to most characters.

Some of the ships I recognize are

Battlestar Galactica, Viper fighter
Moya Farscape
Starwars Mellennium Falcon, Star Destroyer, Deathstar, X Wing, Nebulon Frigate
Space 99 Eagle
Buck Rogers Fighter
Star Trek Dicovery,Enterprise, Voyger, Borg Cube, old Klingon Warbird,Defiant, Romulan
Alien ship from Alien
Firefly Serenity
2001 Space Odyssey Discovery One

Yep I like shitty sci-fi TV 🙂

Just noticed Red Dwarf Starbug, Star Wars Shuttle,War of the Worlds from the 50's film and what looks like the Taxi from 5th Element also a Star Trek shuttle.

Star Wars was pretty much the only SciFi that interested my a s a kid, although I would certainly Battlestar Galactica characters as well. I wasn’t a fan of DC, but if someone did a Marvel Universe version of the above, I suspect I could ace it.

This has sparked a memory from my childhood and it's going to drive me nuts.
I had two posters by the same artist ( i think)
One was a very busy pirate battle between two ships with many comic elements including the occasional nose being lobbed off, the other was an underwater scene.
And now of course I won't rest until i see it again, can anyone else remember it?

Aha, never mind found it..

K9 is in the bottom left corner under the bar, the Mars Attacks girl is in the far middle near the glass doors.

And that silly character that IIRC played alongside Lee Majors in a kids sci-fi programme in the 80's, it used to say Biddly biddly or something like..

I can't find Marvin the Android, or Keanu Reeves as The Matrix man.. nor Lee Majors as Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man.. nor Arnie....

Well spotted on Marvin, and Buck Rogers of course..

A more obscure one is the 50’s dressed character at the bar, looks familiar and not too sure he’s DrWho (the weird one not so long ago) Or looks vaguely familiar as Jude Law IIRC he did a “jumper” type movie from decade to decade, it isn’t Hayden Christensen is it who did a recent “jumper” movie??

Good game this.

Well spotted all for those more obscure characters..

Much better pic Drac 🙂

Balcony left Barbarella, Skywalkers Speedster outside & Galaxy Quest Gwen DeMarco in front of it (had to google her name but new the character) Ewoks next to the Martians, Groot on bar along with Gizmo, baby Omicronian plus a bucket of Omicronian babies. Alien face hugger on bar, behind Guinan is HAL, farside of the bar on the bar is a neural parasite symbiote from TNG (one of the best episodes imo) looks like a Star Trek Tribble in the fridge behind the bar, Bottom middle is that an alien from The Thing? Alien from War of the Worlds behind the Martians, Cyberman next to the Darlek, Voyagers Severn of 9 , Klingon woman next to the Ewok and what looks like Darth Vaders chest at the rear of the bar.

I can see a lot of Babylon 5 characters but never got into it to name them.
