Some things about me that you may not know....

Fave books based on being read by myself at least five times: Lord of the Rings and Watchmen. Read 'Consider Phlebas' several times as well.

Would also include 'Statism and Anarchy', purely as on reading it feels like it was written in one sitting.

Fave cover version perhaps the Therapy? version of 'Diane'.

Fave/Best two novels I've read last year (probably can think of more, but): Revenge of the Sith novelisation and Dhalgren

Top five science-fictional universes (in no particular order)
Duneiverse
Babylon5Crusade galaxy
Star Wars galaxy
Enderverse
Culture galaxy

All time favourite conspiracy theory, being: The Illuminati, being made up by William
Godwin, according to Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Love it!!

I strangely admire: Alfred the Great for being self-educated, William the Martyr for being so hard he killed the King of Denmark and England twenty years after his own murder at age 13, and the Prussian Navy for scuttling the German fleet at the end of the Great War.

Fave paranormal head of state: William the Martyr (or his ghost anyway)

Fave Star Wars characters: Vegere and Boba Fett

Fave vaguely obscure superhero: The Spirit (he lives in his own tomb, how wierd/cool is that?)

Top five fave SF villains:
1.Alfred Bester
(Psi Cop; Babylon 5)
2.Gul Dukat
(Gul, later Dictator of, Cardassian Union; Star Trek Deep Space Nine)
3.Darth Sidious
(aka Senator, later Supreme Chancellor, later Emperor, Palpatine; Star Wars 1-6)
4.Melanie Phillips
(a recurring character in the British science fiction daily "Daily Mail")
5.Benjamin Sisko
(for ecocide while having the rank of Captain in Starfleet and being in command of the starship 'Defiant')

Also worth a mention:
The Idirans (Consider Phlebas)
Old school Kligons (Star Trek)
and Captain Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager) for ordering the execution of the composite entity 'Tuvix'

Fave fictional anti-heroes (no order)
Travis Bickle
Rorsach
Kowalski
Boba Fett
Vergere

Fave Jedi: Shaak Ti (for being able to die three times!)

Three television shows more scientifically realsitic than 'Star Trek':
Babylon 5
(geek note: the 'Omega'-class destroyers should have two rotating sections to maintain neutral angular momentum)
Futurama
(the Universe would move relative to the 'Planet Express' starship if it could cancel/selectively negate gravity)
Doctor Who
(it is possible to build a time machine, but you can't send anyone back to the time before it was built)

Science fiction anti-villains (no order)
Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker
(Star Wars, specifically ep 6)
William Adama
Laura Roslin
Tom Zarek
Gaius Baltar
(Battleship Delusions)
