This scene has the perfect amount of: “Yes we’re old friends but I’m still your senior officer and we’re in a desperate situation” going on

[kevd]

In the book it's described that the bugs are so numerous that a 10, 000 bugs to 1 human kill ratio in a given engagement would be a statistical victory for the bugs.

[GalaxyClass]

One of the greatest movie scenes of all time

[Loadsamoney]

I like how, despite their difference in position and personal disagreements about the mission, it didn't interfere with their friendship. Carl may outrank both of them by a wide margin and is coldly able to make decisions that cost people their lives (including theirs, potentially), but he still respects and supports them, especially Rico who, despite being little more than a frontliner and a workhorse, is one of the federations finest, always frosty and ready for the next mission, hence why Carl was happy to promote him and give him command of the Roughecks, perhaps M.I's most prestigeous platoon.

One of those rare examples where Carl's rapid ascension to the top ranks and the power he commands didn't go to his head.

I love how tired and worn out Carl looks in this scene. He may come across as a heartless strategist sitting in high command haphazardly ordering the deaths of thousands on a whim, but his angry retort to Carmen to me said he is struggling to cope with tue weight of his actions and lashes out at her in guilt.

He rationalised it in his mind with the repsonse of 'We're in it for the species' but I think seeing his best friend turning out to be one of the anonymous statistics he deals with when co ordinating the War effort affected him, hence the angry response when his actions were questioned.

Maybe im reaching but its how I always perceived it anyway

Carl looks like he's been heavily doping on Dark Side

[randomcenturion]

Carl looks like he has been staring into Hell for a week straight.

[EstwofourSkate]

When you rewatch the movie and notice how earlier in the movie Carl was always with dizzy, in the classroom where they are dissecting the bugs, the prom dance, I believe Carl also came here to pay his final respects to Dizzy, which in a way I believe he had a thing for her

[Syrastro]

Rico was a sergeant before. Carl was a colonel. He basically gave him a field promotion from sgt to lieutenant which is an officer. Is that even possible?

[Boxanadu]

Planet P is a GOOD day against the Tyranids.

[blockmasterscott]

This is one case where the book and movie are very different, but I loved and both read and watched multiple times.

[Godsjudgement]

i like how rico eventually outranks carmen in the latest series timeline.

[Hyunckel]

So that's not coincidental when Carmen say and get the 3 of them to make a vow that no matter what the 3 of them will always be together... The pilot united with the Warrior and the Psychic Tactician....

[Frenki]

I had no idea Doogie Howser was a an SS officer 🤣

[eastbro]

Quite the jump for Johnny Rico. Private to Corporal to Lieutenant.

[ghostface]

Carl: its their fault they didn't suit up

[Hyunckel]

I had to become cold and calculated. I recognise this now. Cannot advise in a war in the game theory field if I care too much. I cared to much before. I act based on principle now instead of care or love

[alfredo]

Barney Stinson made a good work as an SS officer

[HuntingTarg]

A series that actually did go there got non-renewal for a third season due to 'poor ratings' (i.e. ratings that network executives weren't satisfied with) and did a 'humans started it' big reveal at the end of their two-part series finale:
"Space: Above and Beyond" .
This happened in 1996, 5 years before nyne-eIeven .

[tektoastium]

Carl is awesome. Like seriously in Invasion he mind controlled bugs.
