That's what I was thinking. I could easily see the Federation morphing into something like the Culture. VB

Excellent; that all sounds positive. So cautious optimism would be most prudent, then? :) Have you guys read the books? I'm thinking of reading them as this summer's light reading. VB

So having had my fingers burned in expectation over TMoS, i thought I'd field this one to the peeps around here who might know a bit more about the biz... I read today that they've "announced" The Bourne Ultimatum, based on the third in Ludlum's trilogy. Now, as far as I can see, all discussion...

I'm sure that another pre Trek incarnation is not a good idea. :rolleyes: It really does blow my mind, sometimes, how stupid these people can be. Nobody, anywhere, thinks this will be a good idea except in their little bubble. There are so many good, science fiction, stories that could be told...

Re: Hands up who loves Carnivàle Unfortunately the channel they are showing it on over here isn't on my Cable network, so no Carnivale for me. :( But I've heard good things about it; good enough to probably pick it up on DVD if it hasn't hit terestial by then.

Well I think we knew that! Never mind; multi-region will set you free... ;)

Well, I contacted Warner Home Video by email about this. I sent them this: To which they somewhat oddly replied with this message: I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went there, in case there was a product announcement banner, or a note on B5S2 in their catalogue. There wasn't. So...

Yeah he's a little odd. I really like...it's either "Consider Phlebas" or "look to Windward"... it has this brilliant prologue describing a war being fought somewhere, you totally empathise with the characters. Then the novel starts, and after a while you encounter one of those characters...

Iain M Banks is my main Scifi author of choice at the minute. Took me a bit to get into (I must have started Excession about 4 or 5 times) but once I did, it's just brilliant, gripping stuff. Plus it's always good to go back to the classics; just reread The Time Machine recently, not to mention...

Re: Smallville (How many have fallen for their sca Yeah, that was my initial reaction too. "The Flash isn't called...oh, wait." :) And they name checked the other Flashes with his fake ID's too. I should mention that the other reason I watch it (and Point Pleasant for the same reason) is...

I think that's a damned fine point GKE. It's not big enough to get major kudos, and not small enough to get ignored. Plus it has storylines which require a little thought, and characters/situations which require you to suspend disbelief. (Centauri hair-pieces I'm looking at you! ;)) Whereas I...

Re: Smallville (How many have fallen for their sca Erm, just to call you on this one; Bart Allen, aka "Impulse" is actually a separate character, Barry Allen's grandson. :)Click here for details. As to the show in general, I like it. There's still a little of the gurney-gurney teen soap guff...

Re: Corps is Mother Corps is Father intro I haven't picked up S5 yet; I think I'll preemptively email to ask them about it. If I don't get a response by end of March (sweet, sweet annual bonus) I'll buy R1 instead. Forewarned is forearmed! :) VB

My main thought is..."I wish they'd show Season 2 in the UK..." :(

Well the other project is from Baz "moulin Rouge" Luhrman, and I believe they have mentioned they wont be shying away from the issue either.

Click here to experience Greatness... This trailer hasn't overwhelmed me, but it has intrigued me. And I think that's a good thing, IMHO; there's been a lot of films recently which, while good, have not been as exciting as the trailers suggested. This looks, to me, like the film I've been...

Of course, the Horse isn't in the Iliad: it ends with Priam getting Hektor's body back from Achilleus. VB

When we went to see Underworld (me and about 8 mates), there were three people (2 guys, 1 girl) sitting a few seats along from us. To be discrete about it, they "had intimate relations", all three apparently, after a fashion. Pretty quietly, as only two of my mates, who were sitting closest...

Actually, there's more distance than that...Homer was an Oral poet: he composed the Iliad centuries after the supposed War: hence all the details which are contemporary to homer, not the Mycenean period. Then, the Iliad existed orally for another 2-300 years, before being written down for the...

Well< I loved it, but you know what: based on the VH thread, I'm not even going to get into it. :) VB
