    Sword and Sorcery: Relax Your Troubled Brow

    I've been gone awhile to not have noticed this topic. Both Sword and Sorcery and Sword and Planet have been favorite genre of mind since I discovered them around the age of 12. That was when I had my first experience with the deCamp versions of Howard's Conan and Burroughs' John Carter of Mars...

    How do you read?

    I prefer to read a real book. I'm a tactile person and I love the feel of a book in my hands and to take the time to turn the pages while I think about what I've just read. Not to mention that I love the smell of old paperbacks and the feel of the different covers of the older hardbacks that I...

    Babylon 5

    Babylon 5 is my absolute favorite of sci-fi series tv. I have the entire series, Babylon Crusade, and all the movies on dvd. Now the funny thing, I had no interest in watching it when I first heard about it before it aired. At the time Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had been on the air for a couple...

    The Official SyFy Thread

    Oh, I have a huge collection of sci-fi from the 50's and 60's. Including some the grade b films. Them!, Tarantula, Deadly Mantis, and Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, among my favorites. I still have a copy of my local paper, from the time, reviewing Star Wars. The writer panned it. Calling it...

    Like the last several members the last film I saw was Wonder Woman. After the last two DC universe films I had to admit I did not have great hopes for this. Happy to say that my doubts and fears were completely unfounded. This is the DC film I've been waiting for. Well directed, well acted, and...

    Last film I saw in the theater was, Star Trek Beyond. Not bad, and in some ways much better then the previous ST film. Last night, on tv, watched the James Bond film, Spector. Enjoyed it.

    Anyone a Warhammer 40,000/Fantasy/Age of Sigmar fan?

    Decided to drive over to my Games Workshop store yesterday. I'm lucky in that it is less then 10 minutes drive from my house. Imagine my surprise to discover the shop was empty a 'Space to Rent' sign was in the window. I was in there about 12 days ago and everything seemed fine. Now I need to...

    The Flash.

    I thought this season was an excellent example of what can be done when the writers fully embrace the source material and yet still keep a bit of grounding in reality. And for anyone who has not done so, I strongly recommend getting season one on dvd or blu-ray and watching the episodes with...

    Supernatural

    I've been a fan of the series since day one. And while there have been seasons when I felt they hammered a point to death. But that has never stopped my enjoyment of the show.

    Anyone a Warhammer 40,000/Fantasy/Age of Sigmar fan?

    40K player here. Currently I have a Space Wolves army and a Berserkers of Khorne army. And I do enjoy playing both of them. While I don't play Warhammer Fantasy or AoS, I have purchased miniatures for both of them just to use in either rpgs or for the enjoyment of painting them. In addition I...

    The Official SyFy Thread

    Assuming the Op is limiting choices to the Syfy Channel, I do admit that I watch it on a semi-regular basis. Because of being out, I tend to dvr the majority of the programs I watch, and then binge watch when I have the time. Currently my favorites are; Defiance, Dark Matter, Killjoys, Face Off...

    Which of these fantasy movies is your favourite?

    You have the start of a good list. But I feel that you have overlooked several films from that decade which would help to round out your list. Hawk The Slayer Clash of the Titans(1981 version) Dragonslayer Fire and Ice Ladyhawke Legend The Adventures of Baron Munchausen And that does not...

    Star Trek the Next Generation

    My first memories of Star Trek were watching the original series with my father when it was in re-runs back in the early 70's. I attended my first Trek convention when I was just 12 and still have the autograph of Gene Roddenberry that I got there. So I have been following the series and watched...
