Greets Mark,

 CM> ...do you want to talk about anything sci-fi or fantasy related ? 

 MR> OK.  What do you think of The X-Files, Star Trek, Babylon 5 & The
 MR> Outer Limits?

Hmmm.. tough one  I like the first three a lot and the last one, well it
depends each week.

 MR> I'm a trekker, I've met Riker, LaForge and Lwaxana.  The next
 MR> convention that I know I'm going to is Visicon, in Dublin next July.
 MR> Nana Visitor will be there, (Major Kira from DS9), and so will Robert
 MR> Picardo, (the holographic Doctor from Voyager).

Phew!   Where did you meet them then?  What's a convention like, and are
they only for Star Trek or are other Sci-Fi related related subjects included?
Err... you don't dress up as a Klingon or summat, do you?
Haven't see much DS9 myself and no Vogager at all - is it any good ?
btw - Who is Lwaxana, I can't place the name ?

 MR> Although since seeing The X-Files, I've become a really big fan of it.
 MR> And I mean a big fan.  I've been trying to get all the stuff I can
 MR> about it, whether it's magazines, PC graphics, info files, etc.

Yep me too.. I prefer the X-files to Star Trek and the other Sci-Fi progs
as it is far more varied but still keeps up the same theme.  I did pick up
a few jpgs of Gillian Anderson somewhere and there are quite a few more
knocking about the local boards - I think!   I missed Monday night's episode
but I was able to tape it   - Missed the Roswell Incident tho 

 MR> Babylon 5 I think is excellent and I look forward to the third season.
 MR> The last episode of the second season was brilliant.

I actually prefer B5 to Trek but as far as I can see not many other people
share that view :'(

 MR> The Outer Limits, has some excellent stories but they are all separate
 MR> stories.  Some are excellent, some are ok, but I like sci-fi series
 MR> better than just one off stories, unless it's in a film.

Yeah, there have been some dire ones but good ones as well   the best part
about them being separate stories is that if you miss one it won't mess up
your understanding of the rest - which happened to me in the last series of
B5 

Did you see The Thing last Saturday?  Exellent (IMO anyway) - I would rate
it as one of my top films, although it was more horror than Sci-Fi.

 CM> MR>  ! Origin: Planet Earth BBS, Belfast, N. Ireland.
 CM> AHA! Local I see   Does this echo actually go anywhere ?

 MR> I'm sure it does go somewhere but maybe the places it reaches are not
 MR> inhabited by intelligent life.  And maybe I'm gonna get in trouble for
 MR> that last statement.  8-)))
 MR> Later Dude.

#;-)  Everyone else I've seen on this echo so far seems to be using aliases
(apart from the two of us) - Maybe you're right 


 MR> Press Enter to relieve your boredom.





Hmmm.... this doesn't seem to be working   Maybe I'll watch some TV instead.
