I won't even touch this arguement, being only an occasional Highlander
watcher. However, I suggest you might like Poul Anderson's `The Boat of A
Million Years.' It deals with apperant immortals, no magic, just an odd genetic
quirk that keeps them physically in their 20's or so, fast (but not magically
fast) healing, but quite killable. And unable to pass along their trait (which
destines them to outlive their children, among other things).
A long read, and not truly S-Ffy till the last third (about 1975 on) of the
story. If you liked the original Trek episode `Requieum for Metheusala' (sp?)
you may enjoy this even more.

Nope. I realized later that The Galaxy Trio was indeed a Hanna-Barbera
product from the same time as the original Herculoid episodes. I was confusing
them with another trio (also from H-B) that were often teamed with Space Ghost
and/or The Herculoids in more recent (late 1970's?) episodes.

Seems to me that JMS would exploit this situation. Think of it; he's always
been telling us that life isn't a fairy tale, with happy endings for everyone.
I get the feeling that Sheridan and Delenn are in for a rough time.

Well, okay, after all this time the results are now ready to be posted for
all to see and marvel at. What I am going to do is again, state the question,
then the number of people that replied to that particular question, then the
answers with the percentage and the actual number of people who voted for each
next to each of them. In some cases I will not post ALL the possible answers
just the ones that were picked. The reason I am putting the exact number of
people who voted on each is because that not everyone who replied voted on
ALL of them. In some cases some questions have 30+ replies, while others
may have only 28 or so. So please do not think I left anyone off on purpose.
If you replied to it rest assured your responses ARE here. I did have to
in some cases pick an answer for people. For instance, two people for their
favorite character picked both Luke and Han, so what I did I just put one
down for Han and Luke down for the other person. That was really the only
one I can think of off hand. After each question is stated with the results
I will post a little "comment" (perhaps not little, maybe long in some cases)
about some of them. To see if I agree, or disagree, or was surprised, and
then anyone who wants to reply and either agree or not with me can do so, and
maybe others will have comments on the results. I will say some of the
results I was NOT expecting. I had always thought I was in the minority for
a few of them and after this I found out I was in the majority. So, without
waiting any longer, here we go. Again, thanks to each and everyone who took
the time to reply to the survey.
1. Do you play the Star Wars role playing game?
Total responses: 38
A. Yes 34% 13 votes
B. No 60% 23 votes
C. Tried it, but did not stick with it 5% 2 votes
2. Do you Game Master the Star Wars role playing game?
Total responses: 38
A. Yes 18% 7 votes
B. No 72% 28 votes
C. Tried it, but prefer to play 7% 3 votes
3. Who is your favorite character in the movies (not the comics or books)?
Total responses: 38
A. Han Solo 23% 9 votes
B. Luke Skywalker 10% 4 votes
D. Boba Fett 7% 3 votes
F. Grand Moff Tarkin 5% 2 votes
G. Darth Vader 13% 5 votes
H. The Emperor 2% 1 vote
J. R2-D2 10% 4 votes
K. Chewbacca 2% 1 vote
N. Admiral Ackbar 5% 2 votes
O. Wedge Antilles 2% 1 vote
AE. Obi-Wan Kenobie 7% 3 votes
AS. Wicket 2% 1 vote
AT. Yoda 5% 2 votes
COMMENTS:
To tell the truth this one did not surprise me on who won, or who came in
second. I was freaked at first because R2-D2 was winning for the longest
time, it was not until the end that Han Solo shot past 3 votes. People
were picking just other characters, and then BOOM, the Solo votes just
started to come in.
4. What is your favorite character out of the movies, comics, books, etc.?
Total responses: 38
A. Han Solo 23% 9 votes
B. Luke Skywalker 7% 3 votes
C. Princess Leia 2% 1 vote
D. Boba Fett 5% 2 votes
F. Grand Moff Tarkin 10% 4 votes
G. Darth Vader 5% 2 votes
J. R2-D2 5% 2 votes
Z. Yarna D'Al'Gargan 2% 1 vote
AC. IG-88 2% 1 vote
AE. Obi-Wan Kenobi 2% 1 vote
AY. Bollux/Blue Max 2% 1 vote
BA. Gaeriel Captison 2% 1 vote
BC. Grand Admiral Thrawn 5% 2 votes
BQ. Mara Jade 10% 4 votes
BR. Talon Karrde 2% 1 vote
BS. Exar Kun 2% 1 vote
BV. Captain Gilad Pellaeon 2% 1 vote
CD. Jaina Solo 2% 1 vote
COMMENTS:
Again, no surprise here. Although one thing, you will note that the big fat
ugly dancing girl in Jabba's palace, Yarna D'Al'Gargan, got one vote. At
first I thought that it was a "joke" on the part of the person replying,
however the rest of the entire survey seemed real and honest. And that was
what he put, so, well, she got a vote. I was surprised however that Mara
Jade got 10% of the vote, I knew she would get some, but I was thinking
perhaps at the most 2 votes for her.
5. What is the worst character from the movies?
Total responses: 36
D. Boba Fett 11% 4 votes
E. Jabba the Hutt 3% 1 vote
F. Grand Moff Tarkin 3% 1 vote
H. The Emperor 5% 2 votes
I. C-3PO 5% 2 votes
M. Greedo 3% 1 vote
P. Ponda Baba 3% 1 vote
