  1. Clavell's works are fiction based on historical events. So don't get too worried about the actual history. Darn good story though.
  2. I really liked the first one and it has aged well for a miniseries of the eighties (many of them have not aged well). Happy to give this one a look too though.
  3. Depending on what you mean by lighting the match. When the alternative is putting on a slave collar I can see his side of things.
  4. At one point it was "I urinate" when "I ruminate" was probably closer to what was meant.
  5. I've lost track as they have gone by.
  6. He had off ramps for all the characters including the main ones. In a way having Sinclair out (and knowing he would be out well before the end of the first season) allowed him to set things up for later seasons. Ivanava's replacement was the one character that didn't quite work out, a single season was not enough to give the new actor a chance and the need to finish off the main plot in season 4 left season 5 drifting along for a number of episodes. Felt like filler - which the show had really managed to avoid till then, even though some of the first season felt like filler there was a lot that was hooks for later. As for the show, we will see how much of a commitment they made, I doubt it was for more than a single season.
  7. Strange Machine must be REALLY bad. I don't think Palladium has a game system - suggestions of one at best. Though my quick look at the rules for the miniatures that came out a few years back looked good. Not good enough to buy anything but good.
  8. CB's opening reminds me a lot of the opening for The Wild Wild West TV show. Which was Western/SciFi/Spy show.
  9. The Muppets Haunted Mansion movie certainly seems to be hitting the right vibe in the trailer (and the famous locations in the attraction).
  10. Could well be but in that case they would have most likely at least gave him a call asking how much he would do the movie for. To flat out write him off without even asking is odd but not unheard of.
  11. To sum up. Whatever takes too much energy, makes obvious what you are going to do, and puts you off balance when done.
  12. Except the Matrix, unlike Star Wars, had one good movie and two sequels that were Dreck. The trailer for this one at least appears to have some promise.
  13. Lets throw in 1918, the Black Death...
  14. Even so the Federation appears to follow the western world rule that offspring are not guilty for the crimes of parents.
  15. Looking forward to it. Hopefully one of their better ones.
