True! That was why I was merely making a suggestion, not an order.Originally posted by superslug

No, It wasn't an endorsement of spam. Think of it as those F4^ threads that Cracker allowing in the GOTM forum not too long ago. Therefore, I was merely saying that may be Aeson is allowing us to have one here (per year).Is an endorsement of spam really that wise?
Anyway, I have noticed a lot of mention of fantasy novels here. Am I the lone SF fan? My avatar obviously proves a love a Star Trek (provided one can recognize the picture as Star Trek), but my passion for the genre is mainly centered around it's literature. Asimov, Clarke, Bear, Niven...

Ahem, trekker. Trekkies memorize technical schematics, memorize the Klingon language and dress up for conventions. Trekker's appreciate the more character driven and intellectual explorations of the franchise, mainly because we can't afford costumes or tech manuals and our Klingon is rusty.
SF movies have come a long way since Star Wars, haven't they? I mean, I've actually seen a few that I considered true science fiction and not just sci-fi.Originally posted by Moonsinger
Yes, I'm a SF and Fantasy fan too. I have watched most of SF and Fantasy movies that have ever made (not too much into reading because I don't have a lot of time).
The kids may be a good thing then, because Enterprise is sure making me think the franchise is in a bad spot right now. Of course and 40 year old franchise is going to have low spots...Eh, less time watching TV is more time for HOF runs...Originally posted by zerksees
Ahem AHEM. Superslug is not the only Star Trek enthusiast - though I have to admit DS-9 and Voyager have dulled my enthusiasm (and kids - no time)

I'm going to show my ageby mentioning 2001 A Space Odyssey here - it still ranks as one of the best for me, including even its special effects. Amazing considering how long before Star Wars it was made. I was sad to see the really big screen theatres fade into the past mainly because of this movie

What do you mean by everything else? Are you suggesting there is anything else besides Civ?Originally posted by zerksees
I could see everything else coming to a stop if both were big civ players.
