> [@Mr.Goob](#): > > The 6th and 7th books of George RR Martins’ Song of Ice and Fire right now would be nice. > > The 7 season long DVD boxed set of Neil Gaimens’ Sandman done by HBO. > > For that matter throw in the 4th season of Deadwood that wrapped things up. > > Somewhere in the stacks might also be the last half dozen volumes of Patrick O’Brians’ Aubrey/Maturin novels that were in his head before he had the poor manners to die before writing. Based on Book 6, not sure if that’s such a good idea… I dunno, HBO :dubious:…well as long as it isn’t SyFy. Yes, please. And more Rome- one more season should do it. If not the books, then more Master & Commander Films. Oh, and while you’re at it, let A&E finish the Hornblower series. And two more seasons of Nero Wolfe, please. Just two- dont want them to start dropping in quality. One more season of Wonderfalls? Joan of Arcadia? ---

I’d like the complete series “Star Trek: Stargazer”, consisting of Picard’s first command. Also, I’ll take “Game of Thrones – the Usurper’s Rebellion” miniseries. And the movie adaptation of the “First Law” fantasy series and spinoffs. ---

Could you pick me up copies of the Anita Blake series from Obsidian Butterfly onwards? Not the horridly written erotica we have here, but the ones where Hamilton actually stuck to the writing style she used in the first 9 books. ---

These DVDs: The Stanley Kubrick version of LOTR starring the Beatles. A Clockwork Orange starring the Rolling Stones. Ken Russell’s Dracula starring Mick Fleetwood. The 1920’s version of Frankenstein- “Life Without Soul” ---

> [@Apocalypso](#): > > I would like a copy of Douglas Adams’ **The Salmon of Doubt** , and a dvd copy of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that he wrote. Explain that last part. He wrote the TV series (didn’t he?), which is on DVD. Do you mean the version that is more faithful to the radio series (e.g. Trillian is not blonde)? Or are you referring to the movie in a universe where he lived long enough to write it himself? Here’s my list: _The Red Dwarf Movie_ _Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie_ (the one that was supposed to be in theaters in 2000 while the movie that actually got made was supposed to be a TV-movie) The complete run of the Ben Stein-hosted _The $640,000 Question_ ---

I meant the movie. I know he had some input on it, but I believe the majority of it was written after he died. I want the version of the movie where Douglas was still alive at filming, had significant input into the writing, and was present during filming to guide his vision. Also, **FriarTed** : I would give my left nut to see a Kubrick directed version of LOTR starring the fab four. Not because it would be good, or faithful to the books, but because that sounds like the most insane movie ever made. ---

And I’ll tell YOU again: those are in the Cthulhu wing. Why, I dunno. Probably a filing error. Because I am NOT going into the Cthulhu wing, because it’s the GODDAMN CTHULHU WING. ---

I’m shocked at you, Skald. Dismayed, even. Isn’t that what henchmen are for? Lord above, are you evil or not? OK, then. I’ll settle for the remainder of H. Beam Piper’s Terro-Human Future History. He was planning to write a story per century for several thousand years and we only got a few. Get on it. Cthuhlu, jeez. Yer a wimp. ---

He was planning to write a story per century for several thousand years and we only got a few. Get on it. You know, I am reading Lord Kalvan again for the nth time, and I realized that, like many of the SF writers of the time, including RAH, they could imagine all sort of outre, unusual and futuristic worlds, but never a one without smoking. I blame Campbell, of course. ---

> [@Jonathan\_Chance](#): > > I’m shocked at you, Skald. Dismayed, even. > > Isn’t that what henchmen are for? Lord above, are you evil or not? 1. Henchmen are expensive. There’s a lot of training and equipping that goes into getting them mission-ready; I’m not throwing that away to do you guys a freebie. 2. The wise super-villain does not callously discard his minions. He pays them well, treats them well, pays their bail and legal expenses as needed, and murders them only after and only if they _betray him first_. Not fail; betray. Treat them like shit and they’re more likely to betray you, and those guys _have phasers_. You would know this if you had taken my Evil Seminar. Your refusal to do so is why your plans to destroy Nebraska always fail. ---
