There is a story here somewhere (or maybe NetNarrator), where "well, feck it" is a prayer to grant miracles resulting in the destruction of entire species. [spoiler alert] The final part is when Earth has to surrender then be enslaved or to be destroyed. Then the words of prayer are said in response and the xeno's are like "whoa there, we can negotiate the terms a bit if you want". I think it was titled something like "three words" (been a while).
Their viciousness and tenacity of the Aussies reminded me of the scrap iron fleet. Constantly out gunned they never gave in or gave up. Even to the bitter end, they will never yield.
I think we can all say that even though the person who created the "Witness Me" Phenomenon was a right bastard, the statement, and the meaning behind it, are a glorious thing.
@@PoldaranOfDalaran When I started nursing 12 years ago, when you needed a 2nd to sign off for the drug being administered, you'd call out for a witness, and more often than not someone would come back with a 'Hallelujah!' befor putting their initials down for you. I'd guess the origin of the origin has to do with Christians giving "witness" to the Holy Spirit in their life. However, these being RANS (or maybe RASS) the writer I'm sure got it from Mad Max.
@@markuhler2664 "Witness me" is by no means a mad max original. It is an ancient guttural instinct to spite the universe when sinking into the void death after sacrifice. Basically it meant you died of sound mind and ferocious commitment. Some people thought people like that fools to throw their life away, but sometimes you need people like that.
My uncle served in WW2 he was in Tobruk with the ANZACS and he said there were no finer or braver soldiers on the face of the Earth, he was a Glaswegian, for him to acknowledge anyone like that speaks volumes. To all the brave Aussies and New Zealanders who fought for the old country, thank you, thank you, you mad crazy glorious bastards.
How long before humans design ships with multiple reactors, as redundancy, each of which can be fired at a different target in the event of ''going down with the ship''?
Hmm that reminds me of that battle in the pacific theater during WW-II where one armed cutter went up against the entirety of the japanese fleet send to australia, the thing went down fighting, firing while sinking. I think it was called the Yarra.
'Witness' was fine but I may have preferred Capt. Talia taking the Huntsman waltzing for the final maneuver. Still, good to see the liaison officer learned a proper lesson.

@@TheDreadfulDrifter thanks for the laugh.
Love how the Aussie vessels are named after spiders LOL 🙂
In the first historic sci fi story the cast fights on flying space spiders, so I think this is appropriate.
@@izayaorihara7059 why word it like that, can't think of space the same now not after the thought of flying space centipedes 🥶
well given that aussie spiders come with a frigging healthbar, naming spaceships after them is probably a wish of good luck
Battleships were probably named after poisonous snakes LOL
Our snake are more venomous lol
What is a spaceship but a really expensive and over complicated missile.
Well it is what you said, you just omited "shitty".
The ship is a missile that ALSO fires other weapons, including smaller missiles. It is the analog of a gun covered in guns that shoot guns.
@@korinogaro I invite you to say that again when one slams into your vicinity at interstellar speeds
@@TheDreadfulDrifter dude... if you compare spaceship to an actuall missile than missile is obviously many many times better.
@@korinogaro that is if you don't make your reactor go critical a nuclear missle is pretty shitty when it's not armed to explode.
