Re: Asimov's Foundation novels

I'm about to go for my Saturday drive in the country, so this will just be a brief reply. Yes, the mule is being by played by the same actor who played Beorn in the hobbit movies. He doesn't really match the description in the book at all. If you took Doug Jones and put a big nose on him, he would b...

Re: Asimov's Foundation novels

So, a few more minutes to type.... Some things I've gleaned from the podcasts. Scripts for season 3 are written, a lot of pre-production is done, and at least some locations are scouted. Goyer didn't say anything about filming having started and in fact said Season 3 technically hasn't been greenlit...

Re: Asimov's Foundation novels

One thing I wanted to mention for anyone following the shows is that the podcasts are pretty good. There is an official podcast that I listened to concurrently with Season 1. I enjoyed it but don't recall a lot about it. Last weekend I discovered there is also an unofficial podcast called Foundation...

Re: Asimov's Foundation novels

Lol, last weekend I resubscribed to Apple, binge re-watched season one, and then binged season two, finishing up last night. I was going to post some comments this weekend. So just for the moment, I will just say, mind blown.

Re: User Registration

I get so much spam mail, from legitimate sources no less, on my personal email that I've taken to blocking sender every time I get one. But it doesn't seem to do much good. I haven't really checked yet, but I suspect they have some sort of thing that generates a new sending email address each time, ...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Another place where I am in the minority, I don't get why there's so much hate for Neelix. I like the character! He was always happy and trying to find the best side of things. When you're stranded on the far side of the galaxy, That's the kind of person you need to help keep morale up, especially i...

Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

I know I'm in the minority here, but I not only liked season three of the Mandalorian, I liked it better than the first two seasons. Part of that may be due to circumstances. At the time I watched the first two seasons, I hadn't watched any of the older animated shows like the clone wars and rebels....

Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

It is just another type of packaging, but it costs more and adds nothing as far as I am concerned. At least, I haven't seen anything to cause me to think that there's a benefit. I don't think I have any true steel books, though back in the day I had two different copies of Terminator 2 that had meta...

Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

So, here is an absolute earthquake bit of home entertainment news. Disney, long the champ at gaming the system on home video releases (can you say "vault?") has turned the corner and is going to start releasing its streaming series on disc. First out of the gate will be WandaVision, Loki S...

Re: Asimov's Foundation novels

I haven't watched any of the new season yet. I'm waiting till it's over or almost over, and then I will binge it. But I did read this nice article that talks about how impressive it looks on what is a tiny budget by streaming series standards. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/08/07/at-jus...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I don't think we have a thread on Star Trek: Enterprise, so I'll post this here. I saw something intriguing the other day, though I don't recall where. I think it was in a TrekCulture video on YouTube. In any case it was mentioned that in, I believe, a Star Trek novel, it was presented that Trip Tuc...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Here's a very sad bit of news: Manny Coto, who was responsible for Enterprise's spectacular 4th season, as died far too young at 62: https://trekmovie.com/2023/07/10/star-trek-enterprise-executive-producer-manny-coto-has-died/ Pancreatic cancer, which a wretched affliction. RIP, Manny, and thanks fo...

Which story by Homer?
(I could ask which story by which Homer, but would you get the joke? :laugh: )
DOH!!! ;)

It's based on the Lotus Eaters, which I seem to recall as being part of the Odyssey?
Right on all counts.

The title of the episode was, Among the Lotus Eaters.
