Farscape for cheap
Yesterday I broke a major rule: I bought myself something right before Christmas. My friend Joshua told me that amazon.com had dropped the price for the complete Farscape series down to $58. This is a pretty awesome deal, as the … Continue reading
Battlestar Galactica Reminder
It’s been quite a while since my last post about Battlestar Galactica, for the obvious reason that it hasn’t been on since June of 2008 (gah!). So, it’s nice to be posting to remind you all that Battlestar Galactica will … Continue reading

Interstellar drive in 2008? Afraid not.
I started reading The Mote in God’s Eye today, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. The actual plot of the book starts off in the year 3016AD, so there’s a Chronology in the front of the book, outlining some of … Continue reading
Is space colonization really feasible?
Being a fan of science fiction, I’ve always thought the idea of space colonization – sending off colony ships to inhabit new worlds – was a pretty neat idea. How many science fiction books have I read where the human … Continue reading
Stargate SG-1 Season 1: Complete.
After staying up until 3AM this morning watching, I can now say that I’ve watched all of Stargate SG-1, Season 1 [amazon]. There were more than a few episodes in this first season that were, in all honestly, pretty bad. … Continue reading
