The Hope

To reuse the title of one of the greatest movies of all time, Stargate Universe may indeed have A New Hope.

The Holiday

Tomorrow is Christmas Day, so like most of America, I'll be taking that day off from posting and from most other things besides eating, drinking, and being merry. So this is my short post to everyone out there: Thanks for reading thus far. There is more to come in 2011and hopefully improvements to make this something that you'll definitely want to stick around for. Plus, more contests, more news, and just more of everything. Spread the love this holiday season folks.

Happy Holidays!

And just so you know, you all now have less than 24 hours before the contest ends, so get to it! I'm also glad to see that Sean Connery is your favorite Bond.



Dream on (of sugar plums and whatnot).

The Trap

Home for the holidays? I am, hence the lack of posts this week--my apologies about that--but I'd like to let you know it's a trap.

The Contest (2)

You know, it's the holidays, and in the spirit of giving I'm going to be giving a bit more than usual. Two movies? Try three. This contest prize will be the original Star Wars Trilogy. That's right, three of your favorite movies in one contest. But don't think you'll get off with an easy five question quiz on this one. This time around, try thirteen. But, as an early gift to you all, I've decided that there won't be super personal questions anymore, however, there will be questions that can be answered by looking through previous posts of this blog. As always, those questions will be at the end (this time it's the last two). Get ready, and may the Force be with you.

1. What is the identification number of the stormtrooper whose armor Luke takes?
2. Who died on November 27, 2010?
3. What is the number of the planet in the Hoth system where Echo Base was established?
4. Who is the first character to speak in A New Hope.
5. Who shot first?
6. In what other George Lucas written movie was Obi Wan referenced?
7. Burt Reynolds was up for which role in A New Hope?
8. What this video:
   
   
   What movie is Mace Windu quoting?
9. What does Boba Fett cruise Mos Espa in?
10. What is the original title of Return of the Jedi?
11. True or False: The Wampa scene from Empire existed prior to Mark Hamill's face-altering car accident.
12. Instrumental Health features Star Wars. What is Instrumental Health?
13. What is the name of the new Australian TV show about out of the closet geeks?

The contest will end five days from now which is Saturday, December 25 (Christmas Day) at 12:01. The winner is the random contestant chosen from those who submit all correct answers. Email your answers to archymedius@gmail.com or send a Facebook message. Good luck.

Dream on.

[END TRANMISSION]

[INSTANT TRANSMISSION]

For you sci-fi fans out there, in case you haven't heard the Stargate franchise will be coming to an end in 2011 due to Syfy canceling SGU. You may have no experience with the show firsthand nor know much about Stargate, but sci-fi fans should stick together, especially when TV shows are endangered. So head on over to my rant and my petition and sign it to convince Syfy to bring the series back and help prevent this happening to other beloved franchises in the future.
