Average, from my perspective. The Londo / G'Kar stuff is great, but as a whole it is merely good, not great. It certainly suffers from being in the same season as 'Passing Through Gethesemane', 'Dust To Dust', 'Severed Dreams' etc.

Saw the first ad on TV in Australia showed a couple of nights ago... looking good!

I think that's now pretty much the standard Hollywood approach to any new movie project, the accountants would have planned to milk the project for as much money as they could reasonably get, including the obligatory sequel(s). Not that I'm complaining if we get more Serenity/Firefly movies!

Re: What\'s wrong with this picture? (SA&B) More power to him! What the world needs is more anarchy (of the good sort, of course!)

Reasonable - a nice way to start off the new season - the best Season of the lot in my opinion.

Must have, must have, MUST HAVE!!!!! The whole of the original Sinclair arc? YES!!!! Then I can finally see if my guesses about the story in its original form are close to the mark!

Hi Joe, Glad to see your enjoying Holland's excellent book - after a period of 10 years where I hadn't even picked up a Roman history book, this was an excellent reintroduction back into the world of Rome, and fired my enthusiasm so that I got to tackle the Masters of Rome series. Of course...

Re: What\'s wrong with this picture? (SA&B) Conclusion No. 5: Someone had way too much time on their hands!

Re: What\'s wrong with this picture? (SA&B) :lol: That damn space station does get around, doesn't it? Space Above and Babylon Beyond - The Missing Years...

I must admit that I have a soft spot for 'The Conscience of the King' - any reference to Hamlet is always welcome, and that particular line is my favourite from the whole play. It's amazing what you tend to notice now about these episodes now that they are nearly 40 years old. Like 'Court...

Re: HBO\'s Rome Ah, yes... good old Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator! (which translates as Ptolemy XIII, God, Beloved of his Father). Gotta love the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt - wicked, deceitful and inbred to the point of imbicility...

Re: HBO\'s Rome It really all depends on where they intend to finish the story - if it ends with the assassination of Caesar, then you will get Caesar and Cleopatra, but not Antony and Cleopatra. In terms of timeline, Caesar's fateful meeting with Cleopatra occurs.... SPOILERS!!!!!! :D...

OK, OK, I can take a hint! If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that you were getting a commission on the side! Once I finish the Masters Of Rome series, I'll get a discworld novel!

Well, I'm glad it's not just me who thought 'The Da Vinci Code' sucked big time! Boy did that book ever irritate the hell out of me! :mad:

Re: HBO\'s Rome I know, I know... it's just the history nerd in me - I just can't help myself, and dammit! Everyone should be as excited about Roman history as I am!!! :D In all seriousness though, I am glad you mentioned that, as when my book finally comes out, it does exactly that - ie, it...

Re: HBO\'s Rome Typical... :rolleyes: Joe, you should know better than to hold out hope for historical accuracy when it comes to a televised mini-series or movie! Didn't the Governor's imperium cease the moment he left his province? Caesar was the governor, not just a general returning to...

At the time, the fire-fight outside the Station had me gob-smacked. I had never seen anything like it on TV Sci-Fi before. Of course, by the time Severed Dreams rolled out, it was a baby in comparison. And the impending doom glimpsed in the shape of a Shadow ship - just fantastic!

That accounts for my major disappointment with Year Of Hell - when it was first mentioned in that Kes story, I was hoping that we would get a season-long story thread, showing the major events for that year, and the continual breakdown of Voyager, with perhaps one ot two deaths. In other words...

Hey old Mighty, For a man who has says he has given up his prog addiction, you seem to be very well informed! Hmmm... ;) Wakeman did rejoin Yes after the Magnification album and tour in 2002, having seen them in Sydney in Sept 2004 with Rick in tow. To my knowledge, he is still with the...

:) Yes, and I gotta say I was feeling very "fragile" after it! :D
