Yet another movie night with my flat mates, and yet another “Aliens” movie.
“Aliens” is the sequel to “Alien”, and the movie begins with Ripley — the main character of all the “Alien” movies, and the sole survivor of the incidents of “Alien” — and her ship being found by agents of the Company, her previous [...]

Aliens
Lucifer: Evensong
“Evenson” is “Lucifer”’s version of “The Wake” — a volume for wrapping up loose ends, and making sure that all the major characters get to say farewell. In comparison to “Morningstar”, which concluded the series’ main plot arc with a rather flamboyant crescendo, “Evensong” is more relaxed, less tense, and reminds me a lot of [...]
Solaris
Me and one of my flat mates also watched “Solaris” tonight. And we both kinda wish we hadn’t.
Because this was uninteresting and boring. I won’t even try to describe the plot, except that it took place on a space station in orbit around the planet Solaris, and that strange things had happened. George Clooney’s [...]
Alien
Watched “Alien” with two of my flat mates tonight.
As a commercial towing ship is on its way home to Earth, the computer detects a signal, and wakes its crew. They believe this to be some kind of distress signal, and decide to go check it out, in case theree’s something they can do to help. [...]
Babylon 5, season 2
Season two of “Babylon 5” opened with something of an outrage, as they replaced one of the main characters. At first this annoyed me, even though I didn’t think I liked the replaced character much, and the replacement seemed even duller than the original one. However, as time progressed, I realised that both replaced and [...]
I just did some quick math…
… and found out that this blog has 99 more posts than all the other Natsecorma blogs combined.
2007-04-27 — Quote of the Day & Bab 5
Morden: “What do you want?”
Vir: “I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some favours come with too high a price. I would look up on your lifeless face and wave, like [...]
Blog Challenge #… I honestly don’t know. Let’s call it “#1 after restart” (or just AR for short).
As can be seen from my blogroll, I intended to keep track of and participate in the Blog Challenge, but that never happened. So when Zhayena posted a new challenge at the NC blog, it didn’t take me long to decide to join.
The challenge is supposed be writing about a scene in a book or [...]

“You!”
Peter!
Parkman!
Linderman!
Bennett!
Hiro!
Wow. o.O
Memo to self:
If possible, try to watch at least parts of “Terry Jones’ Barbarians” on Discovery Civilizations tomorrow at 18.40. Also, try to find out if this is GMT or CET.
Babylon 5 — Season 1
I finished the first season of Babylon 5 last Friday, and so thought I’d try to jot down a few words about it. I’ve done my best to avoid any spoilers, and I like to think that there’s not many of them, and that the few that are, are so vague that they’re hardly spoilers [...]
Proof
One night earlier this week, I found myself with nothing to do, and s watched “Proof” with one of my flat mates.
It was based on a play, apparently, and this was reflected in that it was extremely dialogue dominated. The dialogue drove the story forwards, and it created suspense, almost all on its own. Sure, [...]
2007-04-18 — Quote of the Day — Or, That Paladin Spirit
My flat mates and I just finished a DnD session.
We continued the campaign we’ve been playing since Febuary or something, in which we’re a bunch of (good aligned) unlikely heroes on a quest to save the world from the evil Dwarven Necromancer Nirki (who, by the way, my character has hugged once, and begged for [...]
Television Shows — What Else Is There (Time For)?
Sigh.
I just sat down to plan which TV shows I’ll watch in the next couple of months, and I currently feel as if I’m in the infamous time squize, or whatever one should call it.
Because first of all, I have over half of season 4 and all of season 5 of Angel left to watch [...]
Whoa.
My only memory of this guy is from a warm night in May 2004, when I for some reason struck up a drunken conversation with him, whereupon we exchanged these ridiculous little cards. (You know, final year of High School? )
I did of course know that he was a talented footballer, but I’d also [...]
2007-04-14 — Quote of the Day
Ivanova: “Justice or immortality. It’s an interesting choice.”
Garibaldi: “There is no choice.”
- Babylon 5, season one, episode 9: “Deathwalker”.
Fuck…
I might just have to stop watching Battlestar Galactica. Because, apparently, it’s not Science Fiction:
“Even Battlestar Galactica, the flagship show of (hello!) the Sci Fi Channel, keeps a distance. ‘It’s fleshed-out reality,’ explains executive producer Ronald D. Moore in the sci-fi mag SFX. ‘It’s not in the science-fiction genre.’”
Also, a man who has obviously read [...]
Categories
I just took the time to add descriptions to the last seven months’ categories, as I haven’t done that since October or thereabouts. I’ve probably tried to hard for any of them to be funny, but if you have half an hour and nothing else to do, why not browse through them?
You need only move [...]
April 15 is coming up…
And with it the deadline for applying for admittance to higher education. Thus I, hopefully finishing my Bachelor in Social Studies (oooh, look at who’s learned the distinction between “studies” and “science” since last time! ), have had to come up with something I’d like to be doing next year. And seeing as said [...]
Babylon 5: The Gathering
Almost two months after I began downloading Babylon 5, I’ve finally gotten around to actually watch it. Following Loki’s recommendation, I watched the pilot-movie first: “Babylon 5: The Gathering“. And although I have some complaints, I thought it showed a lot of promise.
First, the complaints. Of these, the acting might be the biggest one, as [...]
