Re: The Official 8th Annual Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge Discussion Thread
Thank you! I'm excited to get my prize pack.
Although the challenge is over, I'm still watching Cowboy Bebop episodes. I don't know why I took this long to discover it. My wife also requested to binge watch season two of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so I'll be going through that as well.

I have to admit that ST Enterprise is the only one I haven't watched either! It was on my list to watch last month but just didn't get to it as I got side tracked by ST:TNG. There's always January!
Glad you're excited! I tried to get a diverse selection that would be interesting and hopefully not something people already had. I haven't watched Cowboy Bebop, but I am getting the movie to watch this month to get it off my unwatched list over at Icheckmovies. Perhaps if I like the movie, I'll look into the shows of it. Good luck with season 2 of Agents of SHIELD. I still have 5 or 6 episodes left and it's taking me too long to finish. I'm at the point where I'm not enjoying it near as much as I think I should be and may just skip season 3 altogether...

Re: The Official 8th Annual Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge Discussion Thread
On the other hand, the film's gravest fault is its lack of ambition. The movie feels as if Shinchiro Watanabe had an extra 30-minute story at the bottom of his file drawer, and since he already had 26 episodes for the series, filed it away until now. Then he just padded it out to four times its proper length for a feature film. The pace is as loose-limbed as the characters: endless sequences of Spike and Faye and Jet (and even Ed this time around) wandering off to investigate, with the story periodically interrupted by a modest but well-staged chase or fight scene.
The movie is currently on sale at Amazon. $6.99 for the BR (which I think is a Best Buy PM) and $9.22 for the DVD.

I have been so busy packing for the last week, I forgot to even check the discussion. So of course I win the one time (okay, maybe tenth time) I have to move
. Congrats to all the winners and thanks for LJG765 for running a great challenge.

Well, I have not heard back from konekonoir by the deadline, so the last prize is being reallocated. As I heard from pagefrance during the weekend, I will let them claim it. Congratulations! You'll receive prize pack #4: Science Fiction Theatre Complete Series!
Sorry, Indy, pagefrance contacted me a day before you did, so to be fair, I reverted back to them...there's always next year!
I hope that your move went well and that it's the last time for a long while!
