      Zathras wasn't funny. That was Zathras who was funny. Zathras got all of mothers funny.

      No, poor Zathras here likes dirt and bugs. All part of great scheme of things.

      Zathras was cool, but I liked Zathras better ;)

      I suspect that one of these choices is incorrect. Correct.

    In fact, I think each movie was progressively worse than the next.

    yeah, I thought they got better as they went along too :)

    I think that's what he wrote - the mixed up propositions in that sentence just makes my head hurt.

    No Top 3 Sci Fi Series list is complete without Red Dwarf. A special-effects tour-de-force, RD combines a prophetic future vision with keen insights into the unchanging nature of man's relationship with technology. The only thing holding RD back from being a true contender is its lack of a sense of humor -- it does tend to take itself too seriously.

    What, no Telepath War?


    Now, I'm more of a B5 fan than most people and I love the idea of the upcoming telepath war and all, but I don't think two hours of people opening their eyes real wide while giving a stern look to someone and having the other person fall over dead makes good movie watching.

    "Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recomendations. Ivanova is God. And, if this ever happens again, I will personally rip your lungs out!" And "Commander! Did you threaten to grab hold of this man by the pants and throw him out an airlock? I'd remind you that we are short on pants here. We can't afford to take perfectly good clothing and throw it out into space. Always take the pants off first, I've told you that before. Sorry, she meant to say: 'Stripped naked and thrown out an airlock.' I apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

    And finally... "I could have at least boffed him."
