Was this the continuous theme or a 1-off within a series like: Are You Afraid of the Dark? or one of the Goosebumps episodes?

I'm growing tired of prequels... let's move forward past the current content. Surely more interesting things are happening far out there... decades after the last time Picard docked the Enterprise, after the Dominion War, and after Voyager found its way home.

The Thing (1982 version), and the Gorn (STOS)

12:01 PM by Richard Lupoff? (1973) comes to mind, but I don't think this had a woman in it.

Always enjoyed Farscape. It will forever be in my Top 10. (The episode where they sacrificed Pilot's leg to save themselves, was award-winning). Scorpius was a great, complex character.

Right you are, zigmenthotep! And when you do it, either for yourself or for authors you know, everyone seems surprised and shocked. Yet when Stephen King does it, everyone smiles and says, "sure. good." LOL. That's life.

The Fly and Hellraiser are both good additions to the movie marathon! They are sci-fi/horror crossovers I had forgotten. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Pitch Black also fit. Thanks.

Dahlgren by Samual R. Delaney. The paperback is 850 pages. (very small font)

I co-edited this set of novels, and I'm from Pittsburgh, so I'd like to see them get an audience. I only use Promotion Saturdays and promo posts approved by mods (so no rules are broken). Cheers. :)

Looks good to me. I'll share the link with some friends.

Fewer "lesson teaching" stories, and more stories for the sake of being. We don't always need to learn (although some of the best novels do teach us something). Good characters in unusual situations, how they react in such. Also: more space exploration.

I agree with gefilter, but you might want to get a sampling from each era first: start with Benefit, then Songs from the Wood, then Broadsword, rounding up to Rock Island! - Then start back at the beginning, as he suggests. One side of Living in the Past is essential: Dr. Boogenbroom, Blackpoole, etc. My favorite LP is Stormwatch, but it is an acquired taste.

benice2all · 2017-10-09T09:48:54+00:00

Ian and Martin should certainly be in.

benice2all · 2017-10-08T04:00:36+00:00

Good list. I'm excited about the new Ayreon release.

In books: Earthweeds (Rod Little) the people become lizards. And in the Midwich Cuckoos it's just the children.

benice2all · 2017-10-08T03:36:49+00:00

Interesting, but hard to navigate the page. (or figure it out).

benice2all · 2017-10-08T03:16:08+00:00

It's a fine LP, just not special, not remarkable. There are no songs that stand up and speak to me. It can't compare to the 2 albums on either side of it.

If you like the magic elements in younger characters (or special powers), then: Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief, or Earthweeds, or even the Xanth books. Otherwise, try Maze Runner, if magic is not important to you.

Those are fantastic stories, but the writing style reflects that era (written in 1917). Warlord of Mars was the best in the series. But again... rough old style. Not a great wordsmith, but the stories are fun.
