Doctor McCoy?

Posted on 9 August 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 3 || Topic(s): Humor, Science Fiction.

I was reading an article today on the whole comic book cross-over bit (you know, where two of your favorite comic book heroes get together for one amazing, action-packed piece of what’s almost always crap, but you want to read it anyway), and saw the following, which, as both a Star Trek and X-Men fan, [...]

Le Linkage #8

Yes, it’s that time of the — well, whatever length of time between Le Linkage postings again. It’s time for another episode of Le Linkage, there. I’ve been trying to think of a good intro this time, but I can’t think of anything good, so just check out the links. At least those are good. [...]

Firefly/Serenity Fans: Someone’s Done the Impossible

Posted on 19 July 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 4 || Topic(s): Movies and Music, Science Fiction.

(If you’re not a Firefly/Serenity fan, read this post anyway. You may soon find yourself wanting to watch the show, or at least the movie.) If you’re a Firefly/Serenity fan, then today is the day you’ve been waiting for. Actually, I’ll take that back: Monday was the day you were waiting for. Sadly, this post [...]

Le Linkage #6: Just Plain Weird

For the first time in what seems like forever, this morning I was finally able to go through and read all my RSS feeds. It seems like today was one of those days when weird news just seemed to come out of nowhere, which means it’s time for another episode of Le Linkage! This one [...]

Transformers Movie Preview and Baby Boomers

Posted on 30 June 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 2 || Topic(s): Observations, Science Fiction, Videos.

Have you heard? A live action Newsflash Edit: Looks like the trailer was leaked in YouTube. (Note: I would still go to the Transformers.com site and see it there. Much better quality. Still, this isn’t bad.) Newsflash Edit 2: Looks like someone pulled the trailer from YouTube. (Gee, I wonder who.) Anyway, the only place [...]

Star Trek vs. Star Wars Video

Posted on 26 June 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 0 || Topic(s): Science Fiction.

Some guy with way too much time on his hands put together a Star Wars vs. Star Trek video using clips from both the Star Wars movies and Star Trek shows. Absolutely hillarious, except for the part where Enterprise even begins to approximate the power of an Empirial Fleet. Feel free to debate all its [...]

The Matrix Comics Online

Posted on 23 May 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 1 || Topic(s): Science Fiction.

Ok, I’ll admit it: they’ve grown on me. The comics (“graphic novels”) I was telling you I’m not really into. They’ve started to grow on me. Sure, I’m still impatient and do my best to speed read through the series — hoping somehow to understand the story line from reading every other pane and looking [...]

Vader in His Spare Time?

Posted on 22 May 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 12 || Topic(s): Humor, Random Web Things, Science Fiction.

All work and no play makes Darth a dull boy. This shot (not a Photoshop) comes to us via way of UKResistance.co.uk, and proves that the strange fetishes of Japanese teenie-boppers don’t just rule what will be considered cool in the next few years, they also rule the way things are run in the First [...]

In Star Trek, Causality is Never an Issue

Posted on 22 March 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 1 || Topic(s): Observations, Science Fiction.

I just finished listening to “Captains Blood” by William Shatner. (It was an audiobook read by Shatner himself.) Worst. Novel. Ever. This novel is one of those where Shatner decides that the story would be best told with both the Kirk crew and Picard crew as part of the action. (He even manages to throw [...]

They’re Made Out of Meat

Posted on 1 February 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 0 || Topic(s): Gnorb's Favorites, Humor, Science Fiction.

The following is a story by Sci-Fi writer Terry Bisson about a couple of aliens who, while scanning around in our section of the galaxy, find something they didn’t expect: talking, singing, thinking meat. (In other words, humans.) It’s a funny story and I hope you enjoy it as much as I.
