They changed the pikes...

Sounds like some people are suffering from pikal envy.

I think I prefer the old ones as well. They looked like they had more substance, plus like they were made of bare metal. Better for whacking someone with, instead of white plastic :)

I mean, the new one just looks less...I dunno, substantial. Like it wouldn't hurt nearly as much. It also looks too smooth, like it couldn't telescope out like the old one. Hence my conclusion that it could quite likely be a training staff, like we see Martel using in his "trading card" movie.

Or my eyesight is just going bad :)

I must 'fess up and admit that I read that pun months ago, either on this BB, or on Scifi's. If I remembered who said it, I would credit them. I too love bad puns. So here's another: What brand of work shirts and blue jeans do Vorlons wear?

And the full quote is as follows:

"It's a Minbari fighting pike, several hundred years old. You are just jealous because you don't have one. Bad case of pikal envy, if you ask me."

Obviously this should be, "My pike is bigger than yours" - especially in the context of "pikal envy"
