Especially a suicide ship that had made it into low orbit without being intercepted. I always figured that the reason it worked was because the primary defenses were farther out away from the planet and that the Wite Star was effectively within their perimiter. So when Sheridan sent it the go...

For those of you eagerly awaiting the ST:TOS DVDs R2 Project just got hold of a very ... funky trailer for the set. http://www.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?sectionId=3&articleId=6647 Funniest thing I've seen today. I'm sure as hell getting these DVDs now :)

Re: Farscape\'s back! I was a bit worried about that myself only to discover that the S4 'cliffhanger' was somewhat artificial and that the season actually wrapped up most of the ongoing plot threads. Still I'm very happy to be getting more Farscape.

Sliders is one of my guilty pleasures. So I'm looking forward to having them on DVD. I hope they do release all the seasons. The first couple of seasons are the only ones I've seen every episode from. I've only seen about half the 3rd season, about a fifth of the 4th and just one episode from...

Ok, first off an admission, I didn't notice the recasting of Dr. Weir. This despite having seen the S7 finale just 3-4 weeks ago. I did however like the character more in the new episode. I didn't give it much thought at the time but in retrospect the replacement is an improvement and I'm...

Revenge of the Sith is the best subtitle of any of the prequals. But I would still have prefered EP2 to be named Rise of the Empire and EP3 Fall of the Jedi as one sirca 2000 rumor claimed. That would have meshed much better with the original series' titles.

That's of course your right (personally I bit the bullet but that's besides the point). The point is that it is available and has been for some time (parts of it, the last 2 eps came out last monday). If you are willing to wait for the box set and save a little money that's fine. You could also...

This is pretty much par for the course where WHV UK is concerned. They also botched the original release of The Gathering and In the Beginning be releasing them seperately with no extra content and selling EACH for more then the combined R1 disk cost. Apparently they feel that if you shoot...

Actually Season 7 is already out in R2, but only as six individual disks rather then a season package.

You are correct. Although I'd have to see the movie to judge if it meets that standard, the trailer does point very strongly in the parody direction. This might actually be the first Finnish movie I'll see....

Season 2 suffered from a writers strike which led them to produce several episodes off of (IIRC) half written ideas originally intended for Star Trek Phase 2 TV series (which became ST:The Motion Picture). TNG however really hits it's stride in season 3. It's still a mixed bag though. Some...

I've never read the books and doubt I ever will. Never the less I've gone and seen all the movies (the blame for that falls squarly on one of my friends). The first two I didn't really enjoy. Pacing was off, things irrelevant (or at least seemingly so) to the story took up way to much screen...

It was exactly this that led my to stop reading both Star Wars and Star Trek books years ago. I really enjoyed TZ's SW books. He is a very talented author after all. Some of the other SW books where however quite ... well bad (to be blunt about it). And really, what is the point of reading them...

Yes we can. But I do agree that The Memory of Shadows is the most likely of the ones on the list.

This is the first I've heard of there being any difference between the PAL and NTSC transfers of B5 (other then those inherent to the different formats). And in fact it was the R2 version of Season 1 that screwed up the effects shot in 'And the Sky Full of Stars'. On what exactly do you base the...

I think I'll pass on that one as well. I mean changing a story when making it into a movie is one thing. Completely turning the basic theme on it's head is just nonsense. Never read the Rama books myself. Just not that big a fan of Clarke (I know that may seem heretical but after wading...

This is a good point. If you want to see a movie in a theater you have to pay attention or you'll miss it. During this years Oscar season I checked out several movies that had been nominated that (until the nominations came out) I had never even heard of. In so doing I happened upon one of...

What about Stargate then? It doesn't feature any well-known locations/buldings that blow up. :D :p Neither does Universal Soldier if you want to get into ancient history... At least Stargate has a nuclear explosion :)

Yes definately better then Van Helsing. About on par with Troy. Basically it's a popcorn movie. Lots of fun special effects, not much substance. The kind of movie you'll have forgotten all about by the time you get to your car (beyond the fact that seeing yet more monuments/famous places get...

Not as I recall. But then when it comes to Star Trek, suspension of disbelief is an absolute must :)
