Okay, guys, much as I absolutely love it that you're all getting into
the
IFIS groove and discussing sci-fi and also that I'm thoroughly
enjoying reading all your thoughts etc... and adding a few of my own
here and there, it has to be said that all our in-boxes are being
flooded with these messages and may actually be obscuring vitally
important ones from view and therefore I would like to propose that we
have a forum for this kind of discussion instead. I shall go to the
students union today and ask that we have one set up on the surhul
bulletin board for us and I shall let you all know of its progress and
how to find it once it is set up on the announce lines.
This is the sort of conversation that would do really fantastically well
down the pub on Thursdays at 8. So I hope to see lots of you there this
week, ready to debate with me... ! ;)

This is so delightfully silly. I think I'll just complicate/confuse
things further by throwing Firefly or the new series of Battlestar
Galactica into the mix...mwahahaha.
Q makes me giggle.
Sanaa.

and I have to wonder, by the way exactly what would happen if two beings
who can never die were to meet in this interuniversal war- such as the
Doctor, and Q, for example... that could provide some fun... !

for the sake of being devils advocate, I reckon that the TRIBBLES from
Star Trek's orginal series would win, just because they get everywhere
and eat everything- the enemy would simply starve to death and no matter
how many you kill they just keep reproducing- way too fast to get rid of
them all... the ultimate seige machine... ! ;)

If all the sci-fi universes were meshed into one, (at the peek of each
empire's power) and enough time was left for them to destroy each other,
in the end who would win?
(if the same sci-fi universe has more than one emperium, or more than
one peek, for the sake of fairness we'll put both in)
Aliences are allowed (and probably would occur, by the less powerful
sci-fis)
Ps: any one else think that star wars/trek woun't win?

elsewhere in the Universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
