Crivvens, that reminds me of the ITV strike in the late 70s. The Tomorrow People was permanently canned as a result of that. :erm: :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

the tomorrow people 'complete' series on DVD is now available in the amazon sale ....

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That's not off topic, it's a perfectly valid sci-fi snippet. :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I was worried it was a bit spammy ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

If you were an employee of Amazon making your first post, it might have been. :p:

Johnny Rico's back

Starship Troopers 3: Maurader

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I hope it's better than number 2..... Mind you watching paint dry would be better thatn number 2

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The fact that number one entirely managed to bypass RAH's points and just went for the guts and gore kinda put me off altogether.I'm no Heinlein fan but I do object when even his visions are subverted and purposely misunderstood.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The first Starship Troopers was excellent, & more than just guts & gore.

Second... crap.

Third... most likely crap.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It doesn't matter - it just Isn't Starship Troopers without proper powerd armour.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The satire.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

So what did you think of Heinlein's idea that to be a citizen with the right to vote one should HAVE to serve in the armed forces before achieving citizenship and those that didn't should have no right to vote.
