1. This one is for the forum. In the last 30 years Star Wars has become one of the most popular Sci-Fi series amoung many. Thanks to George Lucas, their are so many novels of Star Wars, along with 4 movie right of now. After all, if there was no Star Wars, waht would I be doing right now, besides typing this up on my computer?

 

2. Many of you probably could have already guessed this one, Star Trek. So far there has been three spin offs sinces the original which are, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and last but not least Star Trek: Voyager. Also there have been hundreds opon hundreds of novels with each of the 4 series.

 

3. Babylon 5, it is one of the latest Sci-Fi series. It has around one hundred telivision episodes and there have been novels made of each episode and more.

 

4. One that none of you maybe familiar with is Doctor Who. Their are around 150 episodes and around one thousand book for this series. To let you know, it was originated from England and is an excelent series.

If you're talking series, then definitely Star Trek. It was the most innovative and original series of it's time. Many of today's modern day appliances I believe had some sort of origin in Star Trek: ie; cell phones (communicators), CT scans and MRI's (medical tri-corders), Phased energy and LASER based weapons and medical instruments. My other three favourites, just because I liked them were; Fireball XL-5, Lost in Space, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Don't forget the originl "Buck Rogers", perhaps the predecessor of all the serious attempts.

Hey, anyone else here like "Space: Above and Beyond?" I thought it was a good war story, although I would have come up with a more appropriate title.

Thanks, The Master. Still I don't know what it's about so maybe it's a book or something like that.

Okay, I have just never heard of it before. Some how it sounds like that one movie called, oh man what is it, Starship Troopers.

Has anyone watched Starship Troopers? Man, the graphic work is somethin'! Around Dallas it comes on early on weekdays, we record it and watch it on the weekends when there's nothing good on the tube. Pretty cool if I must say so. Lots of bad bug blastin' and cool graphs.

Greetings, Scooby. wink.gif Welcome to TIE Busters Anonymous, where we try to forget about our problems with the real world and discuss blasting AT-STs instead.

 

Yeah, Space: Above and Beyond was an awful lot like Starship Troopers, only ST was much better. I liked the movie a lot, but kept wondering why the humans were wasting their time with those silly-*** assault rifles. I think I would have gone up a few calibers before going onworld, if you know what I mean...

Than that reminds me of the Turok games for N64. I have Turok 2 and it is excellent and have seen pictures of others.

Yeah IMLADIL, just from lookin' at my moniker you can probably see I agree with the bigger is better idea. If you can't stick your fist down the barrel it's just a pop gun. We can blame ST's small weaponry on their intel. folks.

Welcome SCUBA! We're a little unusual around here, so don't run off!!! smile.gif

Hello everyone. My favorite series is a book actually. The series is called X-Wing it is about Rogue Squadron it is written by Michael A. Stackpole, later in the series Wedge (Antilles) starts another squadron called Wraith Squadron at this time in the series the books are taken over by Aaron Alston. Later the series swiches back to RS.

The squadrons through many adventures, they even retake Coruscant from the Empire. You should all read it.

I used to have one of the X-wing series books, but I never got into it very far. It's the sort of thing I like better when I can play a part in it...

 

Don't let them fool you. The real Rogue Squadron is us right here; all of us have more combat time than that little punk space fairy, Luke Skywalker, by the time we've gotten through the game...and those of us who've played the X-Wing series of CD-ROM games could probably zap up TIEs like Wedge Antilles.

 

And if you watch the movie carefully, you'll note that Luke himself never roped an AT-AT. Hell, I've roped them buggers drunk! biggrin.gif

Well you've got to give Luke a little credit Dack was dead and it probably would have killed him to turn around and try to hook one of those grazing cows and pilot the speeder at the same time.

That sounds like a good book series so I'll have to borrow it from a friend. Has any one read Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights?
