I can’t even add to this. You summed it up perfectly. Entirely agree.

Did you ever watch The Fringe with Josh Jackson? I actually heard it was a good show. I’ve been meaning to watch. It might get the bad taste in my mouth out if I see him as Peter instead of Pacey.

Jerry D

Thanks!

No, I never watched it. I did hear that it was a good show though.

Yes, apparently if you are into science fiction you should like it. From the clips I've seen, I would take the chemistry of Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) over Katie and Josh as Pacey and Joey. Anna Torv actually knows how to act too. LOL.

Jerry D

Cool! Science Fiction isn't really my thing though with the exception of Star Wars.

I like science fiction, especially with elements of fantasy. Lost, Stranger Things, Doctor Who, The 100. Harry Potter is fantasy, not science fiction. I loved Back to the Future Trilogy which is science fiction. But I could never get into Star Trek.

Jerry D

I loved the Back to the Future Trilogy too.

I watched Star Trek a little, (only the Original Series and some of the early movies) but I never really got into it.

jediwands

Yes, it is terrific. I own a copy of the trilogy.

When did you first discover Star Wars?

Jerry D

Awesome!

When the original movie came out in 1977.

Exciting. I watched when I was very young, probably when I was five, for the first time. I also had a huge collection of Star Wars merchandise. I had all the action figures, the ships, etc. It was a massive collection and somehow I lost it. Not kidding. I lost this huge collection that, honestly, could be worth a bunch of money now. I started collecting when I was a little girl, around 8/9 and kept getting more and more things, original space ships, etc. I had it all. But somehow I lost the entire collection. I thought I had it tucked away and apparently did not. I somehow misplaced it. It still bothers me.

Jerry D

Oh man, that's so sad! That original merchandise would probably be worth a fortune now! I have two official Lightsabers (a Jedi Lightsaber and a Sith Lightsaber) and I also have a Darth Vader Unleashed figurine that I bought about 20 years ago.

Something similar happened to me. I had some classic comic books (Superman, Batman, Spiderman) from the 1960's and 1970's, and they all got lost. I think that at least some of them would be worth a lot of money now.

Nice.

Seriously, I am sickened over this because I know I had many rare things. I even had Darth Vader & Obi-Wan Kenobi telescoping lightsaber and I made the mistake of checking the price... it just sold for $30,000. I never opened it either. I had all the action figures, every single one you can imagine, I had it. I had all the space ships and the landspeeder. All of my stuff was from the Original Trilogy. My father started the collection and then when I was old enough I started buying more and more. All I know is I had all of these things perfectly secured in boxes and cases and they were up in my parents attic. When I was moving, I went up there to get some of my stuff and I could not find the merchandise. My parents had no idea. I hate to say this but I have a feeling they were stolen. I have no idea who would have done this... maybe a casual friend or teammate. I hosted a lot of basketball and soccer parties back when I was playing varsity sports. Obviously the merchandise/collection didn’t get up and walk away and we know it wasn’t my family so I don’t know but it’s sad.

That’s tough! Absolutely they’d be worth money and certain ones, a great chunk of change.

TL22

I had with my brother boxes of comics and baseball cards from the 50's He was in college and I, in the navy

They disappeared. Of course my mother denied all knowledge of their fate.

Jerry D

That really is sad.

I'm thinking that my sisters threw them away after my father passed away as I still had some things in his house after I moved.

Jerry D

That's really such a shame.

jediwands

That makes sense.
