Science Fiction/Fantasy thread.

Oh, man I'm such a fantasy geek.

TV/Movies: Star Trek, Babylon 5 (Roxx!), Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, Torchwood. Star Wars 4-6; I could not STAND how whiny the future Darth Vader was in the first 3! Any movie with Vin Diesel with his shirt off...

Books: Ginormous epic fantasies/science fiction: Dune, LOTR, Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, anything by Mercedes Lackey.

I'm getting into the urban fantasies that come around; authors such as Carrie Vaughan, Kelley Armstrong and Victoria Petterson. The last has an interesting background: she was a Vegas showgirl before becoming an author.

Hope Hubris!!!!

Great series!!!!

Did you ever read FIREFLY?

Is anyone watching SG:U?

I have a theory about Dr Rush!

Here's a little 'trivia' about the red "shoulder board" on the storm trooper uniform.

In Epi 3 Luke and Obi are at the Mos Eisley looking for a ride and the troopers are looking for them.

I was into dirt bikes at the time and noticed that one of the storm troopers was wearing half of a motocross shoulder protector! I guess they modified the set and used it as a sign of rank or squad on the costume??

Totally cool uni.
