Just finished 3 books set in the same universe as the movie Alien. The first takes place in between the first movie, and the sequel. The second book is a continuation of the first book, but takes place several centuries after. The third book covers the events on the colony, before the Colonial Marines and Ripley get there, and the little girl Newt is a central character.
Very nice departure from my usual histories or books about martial arts and self-defense.
Sounds cool!
Wanted to reply to another series of message between @anon86726034 and @Knives69 & figured this sci fi thread would be the place:
@anon86726034 I’m a huge TNG fan too. For me the character of Jean Luc Picard is what makes the show; he holds it together & gives it a deeper meaning. The movie Star Trek: First Contact (best Star Trek movie ever) - the line must be drawn here!
@Knives69 I recently finished rewatching the DS9 series and developed a new appreciation for it. It took me some time; at first I avoided it, but now I think of it as an epic series. Is it a series I would recommend to a Star Trek or sci fi newbie? No - for that I usually start w Voyager (also a fave show - the characters & plots are brilliant and they do all kinds of little touches like (for example) not infantilizing pregnant women: “Would you mind looking at the power conduit?” “Sure Neelix I’d be happy to.” No one mentions she’s pregnant because it’s no big deal and her and her body are just as capable as ever) - but for someone who is into the ST universe and looking for a new depth to it? DS9, absolutely. And you’re right: Moogie is the best. She shows how a woman can turn the galaxy on its head - traditions and expectations be damned.
Mmmmm yes Garak is the best. And Odo! Odo is the heart.
Another fave: Dukat. Totally batshit crazy. Keeps everyone on their toes.
I love these guys to bits:
I just finished the first season of this show and it is amazing. Highly recommended:
I was very moved - there were so many touching scenes 
Can we talk for a second about how a certain decorated Starfleet captain is a proud Frenchman with a strong British accent?
I class that in the same category as “why are there so many unauthorized transports” 
It’s an interesting universe of theirs 
Indeed! And this was covered in the fourth episode apparently, but still…
My favorite thing never discussed in Star Trek is covered by the Orville though: Where do they go to the bathroom, especially when they’re being held captive?
Not sure about the rest of the Federation, but Klingons don’t defecate, which is what makes them so mean.
Are the floaters are left to float in space 
. Can we just use space as a waste deposit. I love their food replicators, imagine that in your kitchen 
I am trying to decide if my next star trek binge will be in order of time line, or release date. Last time I watched them all in order of release date. I am thinking this time will be timeline. I can’t wait for the opening song for enterprise.
We just finished the 2nd season of the discovery series.
My fav series of ALL time is Babylon 5!! For so many reasons!! Massive Bab 5 geek here! I have most of the books aswell as the comics (some signed)
Anyone wanna chat Bab 5, Trek or Wars hit me up!!
I liked Babylon 5 as well. However, if I have to pick my non-Trek favorite, it has to be the reimagined BSG.
arr now BSG…i had a love/hate relationship with that series. Most of it was AMAZING but some of it left me abit disappointed. LOVE the original.
I love Trek but I just dont enjoy STD and the JJ films
