Ive read too many good books..but the ones that stand out are.. Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep Pournelle/Niven A Mote in God's Eye Neil Stephenson Snow Crash John Stakely Armor Heinlein Starship Troopers funny...they're all sci-fi although i read more fantasy...I guess the best...

Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep

naw..lois or lana

I think the Reavers following Serenity out from the Ion Cloud around Mr. Universe's planetoid was cinematic as was the subsequent skirmish. Reminded me of fights in CJ Cherryh's Downbelow Station or Niven/Pournelle's A Mote in God's Eye, and not cheezy like some recent cinema space battles...

So i wonder if OSC is going to ask Mr. Whedon to help him convert Ender's Game to a movie? though maybe that is already being done.

What television stations does Universal own? Probably wont get it, but woudl rather see Firefly/Serenity continue as a television series. The movie medium seems too clipped. I will problaby go and look for the rpg though.

yah remember Artz line "If you want something to be kept secret, dont tell the fat guy."

i concede that i was hasty to judge this last episode. the more i think about it, and analyze the dialogue and events, the more i like it.

In between episode 5 and 6 two months have passed. Niobe says as much in relation to how long her sister has been staying with them and Evander's disappearence... Loved Pullo's "I made some inquires..."

LOL...there was that. So as far as history goes..Caesar was beaten at Dyrrhachium... "Moving north towards Dyrrhachium, he discovered Pompey entrenched there with an army of 45,000. Pompey saw no reason to risk a battle, since his fleet controlled the Adriatic, and Caesar's troops went hungry...

I thought last night's episode didnt' really go anywhere. Did like MA calling Attia a Harpy :lol:

So in the Firefly/Serenity series we can say Pirates 2, Ninjas 0 ! Firelfly fan. Cant believe that this series was cancelled when other sci-fi series that are not nearly as good are still going. My theory -- No alien races. Scifi producers tend to like lots of bug-eyed, spacefaring races to...

so how is walt connected to Dharmacon and Desmond?

watched the season 1 finale last night. Blackrock was answered, but what is that 'security system' monster...a Black Cloud that blows up trees?

Wait...for venom dont they have to do the whole symbiot thing?

Definitely looking forward to the next episode. I wonder if they will show Dyrrichium (and Caesar's defeat) before Pharsalus. Granted the story is about Rome, the city, but it woudl be nice to hear tidbits of what esle is going on in the Roman Republic (ie, C's gains in Spain)

I am intrigued by Lost only recently coming to know it via the DVD collection that friend let me borrow. I am catching Cthulhu Mythos elements....the Black Rock where the science expedition turned...Others. Strange-man eating monsters that make bellowing noises, nonsenscical mathematics...

Hooray! The Demon Prince is Dead! So what happened to the plane? Did we have a Conjunction ala Ravenloft Plane being redeemed? So that now Occipitus is in Toril?

Ouch!.... Massive stuns..Some deaths. When my players fought the Slaadi-lord Bazim-gorag the first time, this nearly wiped them. Second round, someone cast silence on the tank and it got through Bg's spell resistance eventually. No save. No word of chaos either

Hooray! You have caught up from the previous incarnation of this story!
