I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way -- even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks. |
I'm sorry, there was a parade of little teddy bears with sticks that just ran through my mind when I read that.

When the same line of dialogue is used at the beginning and end of a movie, often between the same characters, or to and by one character, to bring symmetry and closure to a character's story arc e.g.
Kingdom Of Heaven (spoken to and by Balian): that is your oath..[slap]...and that is so you don't forget it. _________________ "After dark all cats are leopards." - Native American Proverb |

One other thing to add:
Every movie, no matter what it is about, or what genre it is, will involve a love story.

I looked but I didn't see it...
In any science fiction atmosphere, you can solve any technical problem by "Reversing the Polarity"
Which might throw all the compasses in the ship off if you think about it... (??)
