10 Best Sci-Fi Spaceship Suicides
io9 presents us with a killer list (and video clips to boot) of the 10 best kamikaze scenes in Science Fiction. I was always fond of the ticking clock and ridiculous amounts of sweat during Ripley’s escape from the Nostromo in Alien. We also think that blowing up the entire ship to kill a single alien is excusable a little ridiculous. What a nut.
Don’t miss the clip of a fatty Lee Adama sending the better ship Battlestar Pegasus to its immensely entertaining theatrical doom. Of course this list wouldn’t have been complete without a reference to Star Wars. The decision to use a photo of Executor crashing into the 2nd Death Star is classic. It almost deserves a “FAIL” posting.

Ah, well its not kamikaze, but it’s one hell of a sacrifice! Because, you know… when the entire human race is down to a single fleet of ships…and Battlestar Galactica is the only weapon they have left, Pegasus is kind of important. Speaking of which.. when does the season fracking begin?
Dude, fatty takes out 3 cylon ships but he doesn’t commit suicide. If you abandon ship is it really kamikaze?
