Pointless & impractical vehicles

[Gwylan]

Reminds me of the V8-powered blender that Jeremy Clarkson built on Top Gear. Although the engineering on this one is far, far superior to a JC bodge.

I am the attorney retained retained by the word bodge to protect their rights to the word, protect it from misuse or being called into direpute or allowing it's inappropriate use.

I am instructed by my client both singular, plural and collective to call upon you to desist from use of my client, bodge.
This particularly applies to the use of my client in any sense in discussions which might mention the person identifying as the alleged entertainer Jeremy Clarkson.
My client maintains that any comparison between his person, style and title with Clarkson does him a gross diservice.

At the risk of being serious, most of his designs, and many plot elements, were nicked from the French comic book, "City Empire of a thousand planets" (City was the film version)

Much in the same way that Deep Space 9 borrowed from Babylon 5...

Not watched the latter but did it copy the spaceships and individual story, or simply the general idea of a big story arc and a space station with a lot of different space aliens on it or visiting?

The Valerian stories feature a millenium falcon style ship, an antagonist that looks like Darth Vader, someone being frozen in resin etc,

Babylon 5 was always conceived as a 5-year story arc. JMS initially pitched the series to Paramount in the late 1980s before Warner Brothers picked it up, with the pilot episode "The Gathering" being show in February of 1993.

DS9 started airing roughly the same time, and started out as more or less one-off episodes that gradually became more arc-y. There are a lot of similarities between the Dominion War in DS9 and the Shadow War in B5.
