Well, damn. Sounds like Gene is having quite the time. I know Gene is about the age of my folks and that stuff can mess you up. Please tell Gene to keep his hopes up. My mom went thru a major medical event late last year, and she went from...

There were many great films in that time in the late 60s and 70s. One of my favorites was Colossus or the Forbin Project. It’s a great film that really has stood up over time. For those who may not know, Colossus was the name of an AI super...

Yep — same. So many of the actors are gone now — Mira Furlan (Delenn), Jerry Doyle (Garibaldi), Richard Biggs (Franklin), Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar), Jeff Conaway (Zack Allan), Stephen Furst (Vir Cotto), and Michael O'Hare (Sinclair) — have all...

Generally speaking, using human history as an example, whenever a technologically advanced culture makes contact with a culture originally isolated from the visitors, the result is disastrous: death, disease, and the dissolution and/or outright...

I'm still working on a Win7 4 core AMD PC. People are practically throwing them away.

But I guess that over time pretty much everything about the subject had been exhausted and we were no nearer to solving the great ufo mystery - so many of the great pioneers and a couple of the co-hosts passed over with the riddle still unsolved...

Well I started listening to the Paracast from the getgo and it was such an exciting era in those days - I looked forward to each new episode every week - there was so much material to get through - so many ufological pioneers still in the game...

I get the reference for sure - but surely all of that was long ago & far away no? In any event,sadly, the fate of so many of the early pioneers of ufology has often been to end up broke & sick. :(

To me, the value of The Paracast has nothing to do with what it would sell for. IMO it's a priceless piece of cultural history that should be preserved and made freely available to everyone. That said, a person can't be blamed for wanting to get...

Ahh… that’s it, the infection. In 22’ there were several days that I lived in a hospital room with an IV plugged into the arm due to a serious infection. Multiple weeks must be a brutal stay. Just imagine the folks without any type of medical...

It first came to light while walking Teddy Bear. But it was due to those nasty bacterial infections. I’m still taking intravenous antibiotics and coughing after a couple of bouts with pneumonia.

It’s 19 years of work. I’m not giving it away.

I stopped watching television in the teens - so my last sci-fi series was 'Andromeda' from the 00s - a pretty bumpy ride but it had its moments. Star Wars was fabulous, of course. What a ride that film was back in the early days. Star Trek had...

Plan B from outer space.

Many thanks for the feedback. It’s interesting that in my opinion that first contact would be such a black swan event that it’s very difficult to predict what mankind in its entirety would react. There’s no historical examples of such a thing...

Thanks for your "two cents" — an excellent example of what constitutes constructive discussion. While your essay makes several valid points and observations, my takeaway from it is that it has more to do with how humans in general have...

Hi All - Wondering what science fiction films and/or science fiction television shows have stood the test of time for you? Truth is, often first impact often stands across the decades rather than intrinsic quality. I feel that way about the...

i'm an old guy so my favorite science fiction films which are many, would be things like this island Earth, them, and the first episode of the Outer limits called the Galaxy being. The day the Earth stood still is also a great favorite although I...

My Top Ten — Not necessarily in order of preference: Star Wars Star Trek Babylon Five The Matrix Hunger Games Close Encounters Contact The Day The Earth Stood Still 2001 A Space Odyssey Dark City Yep :cool: B5 is most excellent and...

Thank you @Randall and @Burnt State ! :) I will try, though I'm becoming challenged by 'complicated' directions :rolleyes: sad to say - though part of it is me refusing to 'go along' with techie stuff. Or so I rationalize to myself. A kind of...

I'll just sit inside and drink Irish coffee to keep me warm and I'll send the Texan out for the shopping. Ps I'm on page 36 of the archive project . Talk soon.
