Just for the record, amigo, I get a kick out of bantering with you in the forum.

I was talking to a friend who said he went to a Comic Con and there was a "Battlestar Galactica" panel with Starbuck on it...I'm definitely going next time. Plus they had a "Heroes" panel.

Yep Starbuck is awesome. She has that "I don't give a crap" attitude that I wished I sometimes had.

I never even bothered to see Nemesis until it was on TV a few weeks back. I agree, the final battle scene was fantastic, but the plot seemed more than a little thin to me (thinner than some of the concert tees I got back in the late 80s!). Was that John Cho you meant playing Sulu? I think that was the guy from Harold & Kumar. I'd heard about Nimoy having some part, and that Shatner was disappointed that they couldn't figure out a way for him to reprise his role (tricky after Generations). I do wish they could have found a way for both to make an appearance. Somewhere I saw something about Takei making an appearance, but I'm not sure if that was rumor or what. The last time I checked on anything was when I went to see when in Dec it was going to be released and found out they'd pushed it back to next summer. Now that's a bummer, but good business sense. Oh, and I love Shawn, too, as well as Hot Fuzz! Simon is a laugh-riot! Did you see him int hat episode of Dr. Who from Chris Eccleston's season? About Andromeda, that was the series with Kevin Sorbo, wasn't it? I think I saw some of the 1st season but it was syndicated, wasn't it, so it probably was on on weekends where I lived and I worked most weekends. I did see some other series that Roddenberry created or inspired like Earth: Final Conflict in the 90s (maybe it was the late 80s) and Genesis II which I saw a few years back during one of those Sci-Fi Chennel marathons they run on weekdays. In any event, with JJ Abrams behind the scenes and with so much talent in front of the cameras, all they should need is a good script, and with interest coming from the Trek vets, I sincerely hope it meets all our expectations. It would be good to have Trek back! Cheers--

Just popping by to say "hi ya". Just curious, but do you have an opinion on the upcoming Star Trek movie? I understand Chris Pine (son of the guy who played the desk sgt. in CHiPs) is playing Kirk, and Simon Pegg is playing Scotty. If nothing else, I hope they do better than the last movies or series. Cheers--

My favorite character has to be Starbuck...she is so badass and not to mention seriously hot. I would have to say she is even hotter than FTV's Melia (who I am in love with). I hope that Rob does another drawing to. I almost cried when I saw it...it was absolutely beautiful. Plus I've never had anybody draw me before (well other than people getting paid to draw me.)

Yo ho ho, LeoRex! That's good, re: the return of BSG--I'd actually heard more like Feb or March '09, but that was several weeks ago now, so I'm hoping you have more up-to-date info. Torchwood v. Who, I'll take Who. The first episode I ever saw was Brain of Morbius. It first came on my PBS station back on Colo (KRMA) on Sun around 10 or 10:30AM when I was around 12. I forget, but I think that was either the season of Romana 1 or Romana 2. I was hooked. I missed the whole Colin Baker thing though, until I bought a few titles when they came out on VHS back 12 or so years ago. I don't know if Colin was the cause of Who's downfall though--I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of John Nathan-Turner who played right into the hands of the head of the BBC who hated sci-fi, maybe anything except documentaries on the manufacture of Red Stilton cheese. The last season I saw as it aired was Peter Davison's (by the way, the young woman who played the Doctor's "daughter" this past season is Peter's daughter, Georgia Moffatt--her mother BTW is an American who played Trillian in the original BBC production of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy); that is, until Sci-Fi started airing the new series. Rose was a fantastic re-introduction with Chris Eccleston, and David Tennant is superb (trivia: David's father, Rev. Sandy McDonald, was Moderator of the Church of Scotland back in the '90s, aka, the head of the Presbyterian Church). Capt. Jack is an interesting character--John Barrowman is an interesting guy for that matter (born in Scotland, raised in Illinois, &c.). To be honest, my favourite part of Torchwood is actually Eve Myles (gorgeous and a brilliant actress). If Torchwood, which was left in pieces at the end of last season with the loss of 2 primary characters (2/5 of the cast) is merged with Dr. Who, I'd actually hope for Jack & Gwen to go off with the Doctor. I did read some scuttlebutt back around the end of the series for this year that next year could be Tennant's last as the Doctor, but I'd read the same about last season, too. We'll see ...

Hey there, LeoRex, I don't suppose you've heard when the rest of BSG is airing, have you? The last I heard was sometime early next year. My younger brother's fed up with the whole thing, he says. He did miss a lot of the first half of this season, but that was in part because he works nights. Whenever it is, I hope they keep the series up to the same level its been at. The past couple years have just been rough to watch the production side get yanked around by the studio. I don't know if you watch Torchwood, too, but the 3rd season I guess is going to be a short series of mini-series instead of a fully produced season. I got the impression from the series end of Dr. Who, coupled with some comments on other blogs that there might be some sort of merging of the two series. Probably just a lot of speculation to fill in the gaps in the overactive imaginations of fans (mine included here) without any substance to them.

Guess what I just watched!!! I just watched the first three episodes of Battlestar Galactica Season 3. I've never even seen the show before...but it was awesome. I don't know how I've never watched it before...oh wait yeah I do...I don't have a tv.

When is your birthday?
