Intakitty Gossip Network -

The popular HoloShow "Republic Fleet Firetails" has been generating headlines in the Republic this week, as one of its primary character's story takes a dramatic turn!

The show follows the exploits of a squadron of the Republic's best hotshot pilots as they battle their way through intense space combat with the Amarr.

The twist is they're all red-haired women flying Firetails!

The week's drama has been centered around the sudden change in direction taken by the writers in regards to the squadron's second in command "Laila Martine". The climax of the final episode of the season (without too many spoilers) revealed Laila's connections to the notorious Angel Cartel. Scandalous!

Reactions have been mixed among fans of the show. Many are worried this entirely unexpected turn of events will take focus away from the show's main selling points. One fan was noted for posting on one of the show's many dedicated message boards;

Quote:
"As long as I still see at least three Firetails in a podsuit per episode, I don't give a damn about the story!"

A young mother we interviewed in the malls of Rens had this to say in response;

Quote:
"My daughters watch that show every week! I'm worried the next season will be much too sympathetic to those murdering pirates. I tell you, if that Laila isn't imprisoned by the third episode my daughters wont be watching any more."

We managed to get in contact with the writer behind the upcoming season, and ask him his opinions on the upset. Unfortunately, he declined to answer, stating only that the studio had recently changed hands and he was, "simply following the guidelines he was given".

Very suspicious if you ask us! We here at the IGN will continue to follow this story as it develops.

What in Fatal's name compelled you in to giving yourself the callsign of "Intakitty" when you were inducted to New Eden's immortal elite?

I've never seen this show but as both a redhead and sometimes Firetail pilot I may now have to check it out.

As to the OP's name I think it's a contraction of "Intaki Kitty". shrugs

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

It's well into it's 4th year now. If you're one of those who likes to binge a good show, it's definitely for you!

We'd love to hear what other shows capsuleers like to watch!

Aw c'mon!

This was a surprise? Anyone who knows anything knew she had a halo right from the first episode!

Laila is totally my spirit guide! You go!

Probably!

It's fairly well known in the Republic.

I rarely visit the Republic and it is even more rare that I watch HoloShows. But I suppose that these things spread far.

I swear Heroes of the Rebellion is better. If not for anything else, then for the director's choice of making every tribesman go shirtless in complete disregard to practicality or weather. They say it's because if you did not see the tattoos it would be ever so much harder to follow the plot. It's true that the cast is rather big, since they follow clans more than individuals, but the hell I care what the justification is.

Historical accuracy could... use some work, but the knife fight scenes are good.

I have to admit, I love both of these shows, though Firetails could use a little bit less of the gratuitous.. uhm... well, politics. They don't need to care why they can't operate in Stain, dammit, just blow stuff up and keep the steamy character-driven stuff going!

good lord, this show is still running ?

I remember Synthia mentioning it some 5 years ago. Or was that the holo-film and this is the holo-series spin-off ?

I recall that we thought an acquaintance, Kalaralatiri, was in it, but on closer inspection, the tattoos didn't match.

Gosh.

Aha, this old thing.

Contrary to persistent rumors, this show is not in fact based on my life (or my cup size).

Glad to see it's still running though, and with a fresh and modern attitude to risk taking in the plot.

He's got something like 3.5 years to catch up on. Better that he stay docked while he binges. It's not like he said 'guess I'm not showering' or something..

I flew a firetail once. I didn't make it look this good, sadly.
