Just an ordinary guy born into a Colombian family. Into SF (not Sci Fi) since I could see Trek. In my early teens got heavily into literary SF. (he/him)

Chilling at a big book store in Miami around Christmas time and seeing Steve Landsberg walk in with someone and hearing that voice.

How long did you serve. Just wondering how long people serve on grand juries.

Your are right about the initial backlash over TNG. I swear I was open since as a teenager I realized it was either a TNG like idea or recast the classic crew. I would have set it closer to the classic era for better crossover possibilities.

Oh I thought it was part of the backstory I forgot. Thanks. I loved that novella too.

I think they have the vibes of the original stories, though they are some plot choices they made on the show I go "huh".

Overall I good with the show.

I got my posts ,mixed up I see it was you that put the limit on the big three and Bradbury, not Scalzi. My apologies.

The same as Arthur Ashe.

Someone said it was the doctor that persuaded the family to hide his cause of death IIRC.

I mis-read as 50s or earlier.

If we follow Scalzi's limit (none of the big three) first thing that comes to mind is Arena by Frederic Brown.

I read that again when it was up for the Retro Hugo and did not remember anything that aged it.

Of the top of my head, The Stars My Destination though I understand why people have issues with it.

I read it when I was 16 before I knew the similarities with the Count of Monte Cristo.

Not everyone wants to look at the history of the field.

My first instinct would be to go to my bank and find a good financial instrument so working is an option.

@legopolis.bsky.social Happy Birthday, Steven! πŸ‘―β˜•Though I disagree with you at times (and agree with you more often) I appreciate your work on your podcasts.

Our local comic con clone uses wrist bands. I thought a lot of media cons were going that way.

I found it engaging. I wanted to know where it was going. I love Shura's backstory at the beginning. We all know Yukio was going to bad place. Look forward to next part of the story.

You are probably right but when they had a show I like the ones who were into art.

I say this with love and humor.

Do you know something that we don't?

(I am sincerely would celebrate if it was the Space Pirates in those cans).
