  • In other words, JohnT goes to Buffy conventions. Everyone point and laugh!
    Tutto nel mondo è burla

    • JohnT's wife goes to Buffy conventions. I just tag along. I haven't gone to a sci-fi con on my initiative since Harlan Ellison was the Guest of Honor at DragonCon in Atlanta back around 1993, 94. Nowadays, they don't even bother with books, much, it's all TV and movies.

      • there are still star wars books, but those aren't al lthat good. I really got into the star wars books when I was first playing KOTOR, goddman that game is addicting, but then I swung out, and my interest again lagged.

          Just read the Timothy Zahn books, esp. his first three. The newer books are garbage, at least what I have read;they have reached a point where they just need to let it go.

          The older books, however, are entertaining.

The Oompla-Loompas are using the contacts they got during the filming at the plant a number of decades ago in order to find new jobs.

                  Sort of difficult for even a 'slayer' to kick the ass of a spaceship...

                    I sometimes wonder if watching B5 while coming to terms with my sexuality had any long lasting effect.

                    Either way, I wouldn't mind working at part of Garabaldi's team....
                    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                      Isn't Buffy powerless now?

                          She still had her powers when the show ended. So did a lot of "potential slayers" (the reason why season 7 was so mediocre, imho).

                              I think everyone can agree that "slayers" could really do nothing to anyone in a spaceship.

                              • What a tragedy. If that isn't a case for genocide, I don't know what is.
