[QUOTE="Pagan priest, post: 1359584, member: 7650"] The bugs nuked Buenos Aires. From the other side of the galaxy, they nuked Buenos Aires. No matter how many sub-species they have, none of them will ever be able to blow a nuclear warhead out their @ss and send it across the galaxy. They are not anyting even remotely humanoid, they are bugs, but they are intellegent, tool using bugs. They had weapons, they had starships, they had nukes. They even had a treaty with the Skinnies, in the beginning. As far as that whole totalitarian/facist thing, all I can say is that anyone who makes that comment needs to actually read the book. If they claim that they have, then they need to read it again, and this time they need to actually look at those little ink spots on the pages... the ones called "words"... The movie had some good points. The inclusion of women is something that I think R. A. H. would have approved of, (just read his later works... lots of strong female characters). The lack of power armor was a mistake by the director (can't spell his name right, so I won't try :) ). The lack of effective weaponry was just dumb on the director's part. Each trooper should be able to kill numerous bugs, all on his little lonesome. [/QUOTE]
