Re: *** Star Trek Mod Discussion ***

I think that Star Trek suffers from a lot of 'racial generalization'. The most 'realistic' interpretation of the Star Trek 'races' are in TOS, in my opionion. TNG, DS9, VOY really seemed to...

Re: OT: Bowling for Columbine

Realistically, the chance of getting shot by the sniper, or getting an Anthrax message is less then being hit by lightning, but of course Antrax, the Sniper, as well as black men with guns is what...

OT Possible Farscape update

Hi, just finished watching a Farscape episode, and their website address was advertized. So, I went back there to see if it was still there, and I come upon this... (I am unsure of the dates that...

Re: Any One Here Still Play

I still think that BotF was one of those potential blockbuster games that was just too buggy to Last. I was heavily involved in many of the early modding of that game, and modified a lot of textures...

Re: OT_ MOO3

It is like TV and Radio. You can get more listeners if you just play simple formulas, replay similar plots and sounds, and inundate with something that is sub-quality while those that are critically...

Re: OT_ MOO3

Recently a demo for a game was released called "G.I. Combat", which is a strategy scaled wargame (controlling about 140 troops). It was a disaster. Virtually unplayable.

It is real time, but you...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

Hate to beat a dead horse, but here in Ontario they just put Farscape on syndication with ANOTHER set of TV stations.

So far, that makes 3 stations showing Farscape in Ontario (all of them are at...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

Tonights "Enterprise" proved to me that they are just going to the old enemies of TNG, VOY and DS9. I was thrilled when they were talking to the Telerites, the guys who disappeared after TOS, but...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

I don't necessarily see the need to change the cast of Firefly, as you cannot necessarily include everyone from every type of individual, or else you would need a cast of hundreds.

There are 4...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

I actually really liked the Last Firefly. It was well written, acted, and had some humour. However, I hope that they don't keep on pushing cowboys in space. Seeing the 'cowboy planet' where...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

One also might assume that it is the fault of the show that becomes entirely reliant on its success primarily due to particular actors. Indeed, certain actors do a very good job, but, the sign of a...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

The other reason why I do not think Firefly will Last very long on Fox, is due to its unoriginal subject matter.

When the Simpsons, X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (even though this is on WB)...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

Babylon 5: 10 (except for that Last season)

Farscape: 11 (either you love this show, or hate it)
