Vehicles. In movies, television, comics and more.
Sure, we can like characters - and do! But they also need to get from place to place. Captain James Tiberius Kirk would be a Starfleet Captain without the Enterprise, but it wouldn't be OG Star Trek without a groovy flying saucer, some sleek nacelles and a saucer out front scanning... always scanning.
What even *is* the Batmobile? Why is the X-Wing so @#$%ing cool? And are you an Airwolf stan, or are you a Blue Thunder sort of lad/ lass? Is the Munster Koach practical? Is Zorro's horse a vehicle or a character?
We'll talk our favorites, and we'll hopefully get into some of yours. We'll talk a bit about the design, how the ship worked in the media in discussion, how it appealed to us, and more!
I am sure each post will be different - and likely multi-part as we try to cover things like the Theseus' Ship that is The Enterprise.
Also - we're open to ideas. What do you want to discuss? How do you want to discuss it? Let us know.

Hawkman Rocket Cycle from Flash Gordon. You don't have to discuss the vehicle, but honestly tell us if you can pass a tree with a hole in it and not wonder there is a "wood beast" within.
at work I have been known to casually describe going into the unknown as "flying blind on a rocket cycle". No one gets the reference, but I persist. And, yes, if Flash Gordon taught me anything, it was to not just go shoving my arm willy-nilly into rotting trees.
