Aliens

By terje | Published: April 29, 2007
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 [...]

Lucifer: Evensong

By terje | Published: April 29, 2007
“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

By terje | Published: April 29, 2007
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

By terje | Published: April 29, 2007
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

By terje | Published: April 29, 2007
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 [...]

2007-04-27 — Quote of the Day & Bab 5

By terje | Published: April 27, 2007
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).

By terje | Published: April 26, 2007
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 [...]
