| Elite Fan   | M, I love you already.  Just include Lindsay Lohan and we're off to a fabulous start.  Ah, so not too far north then.  I have some friends from near the northern shore....they're a different breed of folks.__________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| It's a classic work by Issac Asimov (my father raised me on his work), a mathematician discovers a way to calculate the probable future, when he realizes that "Galactic Empire" (worlds colonized by humans after abandoning Earth) was falling (in a manner similar to the decay of the great empires of our past), builds 2 organizations to rebuild civilization guided by his 'prophecies'. __________________ Who do you want to see join HEROES?

|  The best way to read these is read the original 3 books first. A collected edition is best. Then he wrote I think it was 2 sequels some decades later, & then 2 prequels. The prequels have info that we only got at the end of 2nd sequel so you may want to read them in that order. Stay away from the 3 books written by other authors! THEY ARE AWFUL!  __________________ Who do you want to see join HEROES? Click here to let us know! Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles campaign Sylar-"What are we going to do tonight, Brain?"

| Elite Fan | Evan welcome to the board. Great trilogy there. What other likes and dislikes do you have? Where in the US are you located? __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!" "Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic."

It's been a long time since I read the Foundation Trilogy but I liked it. Beatles, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! I watched the first season of Heroes but didn't see season 2. Just finished watching all 5 seasons of Alias. Just found out the actor who played one of the villians, David Anders, is in Heroes. When it comes out on DVD I'll probably buy seasons 1 and 2 of Heroes and catch up before they start season 3. Hope his character is brought back from the grave for season 3. I really enjoyed him as Sark in Alias. __________________ BSG: Kara/Leoben ~ Athena/Helo ~ Kara/Sam BtVS: Buffy/Spike The Southern Vampire Mysteries: Sookie/Eric ~ Sookie/Sam | |||

| I have a music question. Does anyone know Rhea's Obsession? They were a Canadian duo, one of my current favorite listens. Any suggestions on similar bands/duos?

| Elite Fan | I've not heard of Rhea's obsession, but they seem to be similar to bands like Evanescence and Lacuna Coil...though they might be a bit heavier. Woo, Montana...beautiful country up there. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!" "Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic."
