  • Rochambeau was a French general for the American revolution. There is no evidence the nick name for rock, paper, scissors has any relationship with the actual man. Janken(rock, paper, scissors) came to America in the 20th century by Japanese immigrants. Roshambo is slang from the West Coast of the US. First evidence of the term was 1936 in Oakland.

    Maybe it was named after the general, maybe it’s a coincidence, we don’t know.

    A show about a intergalactic federation of planets hosting different species of beings shouldn’t be… political? That’s precisely the only thing it has to be.

    Since it’s a series; sometimes it’s a romance, action, mystery, suspense, thriller, and even comedy. All of which could be argued for or against, but to say it shouldn’t be political is like asking it to ease-up on the science-fiction. How?!
