Something different: Sci Fi topics

For those B5 fans, how about a miniseries of "The Passing of the Techno-Mages"; 3-novel set from one of the post-series storywriters.

A good read for those interested in making science appear as magic.

Yes, I'm attempting to keep the thread alive!

CLEAR!

BUMP!

Anyone anticipating the new season of SG-1......

Teal'C has grown hair! Dunno if I like that character change.

HAIR?!?! WTF!

What about Stargate Atlantis? Spinning off another Stargate series while the other is still running? I have my doubts on that one..

I'm going to wait and see on that one. I'll watch the first couple of episodes first, then decide.

I read a few of the Shadowrun novels while I was in high school... I really liked how they combined mythological beings (dragons, orcs, elves, etc.) and magic (shamans and mages) with very futuristic science...

Ender's Game could be a very good movie. I actually think Hollywood could avoid screwing it up if they gave it to a damned good director. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress would be given the cheap special effects treatment. They'd completely crap all over the story.

Ender's Game would be awesome. I would probably stop after that, the rest of the books aren't as good. I do like the series about his brother (Peter) that takes place afterwards.

I would like to see a TV series based off of Fred Saberhagen's Berserkers.

I would also like to see a series of movies based upon Harry Turtledove's Worldwar novels. Now that would rock.

How about Saberhagen's Books of Swords, or Empire of the East ?

Not SF, but fantasy: the original Dragonlance series would fare much better than the D&D "movie" last produced.

Adept, I totally agree.. ahhh to see someone play Raistlin... now that would rock! I've been a fan of DragonLance since 7th grade when I borrowed the Chronicles from my uncle. I'd love to see that done in a LOTR-type adaptation. Probably not as much appeal as LOTR but I'll bet it wouldn't fare to bad if done well.
