pmh is a wind up merchant, and you bite with him every time

You are quite a serious person though, me I am mad as a hatter!

This isn't parliament, you don't have to prove or disprove anything, you're a sci-fi geek, just accept it.

It's fine, go to a convention if you want. As you know I have a weakness for crime novels, I considered going to the Theakestone's crime writing festival a couple of years ago because David Simon was going to be there, I didn't go but only because it clashed with something else.

You didn't read all my posts did you

I did try and watch one of the Transformers films, but the only bit contained within the film that I enjoyed was that rather cool sound they make when they "transform"

Star Wars is completely timeless, it doesn't matter how many times you've seen, you always end up watching it on TV when it's on, despite the fact you probably own the box-set and could watch it anytime.

Surely the definitive sci-fi convention is Star Trek?

Disagree, Star Wars is pants and so is Star Trek.

Think young lad Dave Scott stands a chance in the fastest man race tonight in the 9s? He seems rapid.

PAC should record this race on his phone for our viewing pleasure.

Sort of. The problem with Trek conventions is that they're dominated by Trekkies, who are pretty much the definition of cringeworthingly OTT fanboys/girls. For reference I suggest watching the movie Galaxy Quest.

I'll just take that as a warning and stay well clear thanks. It'll be full of Roverswall types.

That is a brilliant film.Along with Spaceballs.

As Mild Rover and I have discussed at length in times past, Battle of the Planets takes some beating as epic sci-fi. I know it's a cartoon, but still.
