Tassie Dave’s comments from the The Sword and Laser group.

Fun trivia fact about Doctor Who.

Peter Capaldi , who played the 12th Doctor, was in the movie World War Z,

He is credited as W.H.O. Doctor 😃

A week by week model builds the buzz and allows for discussion.

It is also a good business model. I will unsubscribe (again) once The Mandalorian ends. Unless one of the Marvel shows turns up early.

My guess would be (view spoiler)[that it was Boba Fett. (hide spoiler)]

This week's episode was very western-ish, apart from the "dragon"

The again, every Tatooine episode is like a western.

Great last scene tease for a future episode :-)

(view spoiler)[It's fricking Boba Fett :-)

Though we knew Temuera Morrison was in this season and Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens was wearing his armour. So not too big of a surprise really ;-) (hide spoiler)]

I've given up hoping to see the end of "A Song of Ice and Fire"

Even if George lives to 100, he won't finish it ;-)

I'd have The Relentless Moon just ahead of Network Effect.

But either would be a good winner.

I couldn't find a 2020 published fantasy book that I've read to vote for :-?

It's on Netflix in a lot of countries outside the US (Including Australia/NZ) as are most of Miyazaki's movies.

This was the runner up in the 2017 March Madness.

Losing by just 17 votes to The Invisible Library.

It should be fun.

It might be a good time to watch the movie. Once I've read the book of course.

Definitely a fascinating political period. The rivalry between Jackson and Calhoun itself would make a good movie. Though which one would be the villain ;-)

Yeah Jackson had some good points, but the attempted genocide of native americans is unforgivable, as was his support, and involvement, in slavery :-?

No-one saw that coming.

oh wait. Everyone saw that coming 😉

Neil Gaiman. It would make a good series of Sandman & The Endless.

Destiny, Death and Despair would be the stars. With occasional visits by Destruction.

Desire and Delirium can provide the comic light touch.

One of the few presidents worse than the present one and he looks like a vampire in his portrait to boot 😉

Merch, my name is hmmmm.

;-)

i've heard it was good, but I'm not a vodka drinker and at the premium prices they charge for their alcohol, I won't be trying it either ;-)

Neither. You may be thinking of Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe which we read back in 2011

Only a time machine required ;-)

or do you mean October 16-18
