Ever notice how all of life’s troubles started, when we stopped talking naps? Naps are so much better than drinking. Neither really solves the actual problem, but you wake up feeling better, and not broke or in handcuffs

Just read news of the passing of Art Bell, founder and long-time host of Coast to Coast radio. @Englishd is a fan I believe as well. I loved his show, where he covered all manner of topics regarding the paranormal, supernatural, cryptozoological, and extra-terrestrial things. I enjoyed listening those who called in, ranging from true tin-hats to those who made me say “hmmm. Might be something to that.”
Regardless, Art Bell encouraged his listeners to keep an open mind, and the search for possible answers starts with questions influenced by the imagination.
RIP

Nooooo. RIP Art Bell. I hope they do a tribute for him. He was always so calm even when his guests would start to get out of hand. He could make anyone feel like their views were important.

Started it too yesterday, looks nice
ok friends and fellow SciFi enthusiasts. Look for some recommendations. I’m getting ready to go on a long road trip and I need some good SciFi/fantasy audiobook suggestions. @Bill_Phillips I know we have the same taste in movies and shows…any suggestions??
I almost downloaded that one! Ok I trust your wise judgment and good taste. Thank you!

I can second Ready Player One. I’m a super fan. If you like it, Armada also rocks. People say it’s not as good but that’s just because they’ve already fallen in love with RPO when they read it.
We Are Legion [We Are Bob] by Dennis E. Taylor is also a huge favorite of mine. It has two sequels.
I also just listened to Redshirts by John Scalzi (read by Wil Wheaton). Not as good as the aforementioned books but I enjoy Wil Wheaton and this will be a hit with you if you’re a Star Trek junky. If you’re not, some of the humor may get lost in translation.

I like the “We’re Alive” radio theater podcast. It’s a serialized zombie survival story, several seasons. Also, the Dr. Who podcast.

Learned a fun fact yesterday that I thought some here might enjoy. My wife’s fourth grade teacher dated Richard Dean Anderson back in the day. How crazy is that?!!!
For those who don’t know, he played MacGyver and then Jack O’Neill in Stargate SG-1.

I haven’t, but I am not a big TV watcher. I only allow myself to watch it on weekends. Still working through Jessica Jones, and have added The Orville to my watchlist.

It starts off kinda slow, and I was ready to bail on the show, but it gets really good. Jessica Jones is an alcoholic with super powers, and all of the human dysfunction you’d expect.

Majorly stoked: Babylon 5 is now on Amazon Prime. Had this on my watch list for years, waiting for it to move to prime as I wasn’t willing to pay $1.99 per episode. Now I have my summer watching all set.

I recently rewatched The Thirteenth Floor. I’d forgotten how cool it was!

I’m a big fan of Tron: Legacy. It dawned on me that I’d never seen the original Tron in it’s entirety. So that is my Saturday night.
Did you know when they made this, it took the computer 30 minutes to render one frame? CGI has come a long way…

Ohhh man. Can’t believe I missed this thread.
I just re-watched star trek. In chronological order of time lines. Including movies.
Watched all of the Star wars movies, since the newest one is streaming now.
Watching an episode of Harry potter per week with the older nephew.
I just finished reading a book series called 'Caverns and Creatures '. It was light, and funny. Swords, sorcery, dick jokes.
My nephew has me reading the Magnus Chase series right now. Gods, and guardians. Pretty fun, so far.
