Sometimes they don't include a "2" in the sequel.  For example, in the
previews before Independence Day, they advertised a sequel to The Crow
called The Crow: City of Angels.  I was thinking that maybe the ID4
sequel would be about them picking up the pieces after the invasion; it
could be called ID4: Reconstruction Era.  Another thing that puzzles me
is what they'll think to call the next Batman movie.

Since people will get mad if I don't say something about ASCII art in
this message, here you go:

Basically, I have insignificantly small experience with ASCII art; this
can be told from the ID4 font, the white house, and the explosion.  The
energy beam looks fine to me.  The ship is actually a slightly modified
version of the saucer section of the Enterprise D, stolen from some
ASCII art collection at Scarecrow's.  That was my original suggestion
as to how to do the ship: use the Enterprise saucer.  That is also why
I signed it closer to the stuff I made from scratch rather than the
stolen saucer.  Well?  Opinions, anyone?
