    I was passing by Forbidden Planet on the quays in Dublin a few days ago and noticed a few posters up in the window with Michael Shanks on them. (Michael Shanks is an actor from SG:1)

    I can't remember the date, but I think he's making an appearance some time soon. Anybody have more information ?

    ok it has just been explained to me that Forbidden Planet is not just a comic shop and that they do books and other stuff.. damn it I walked by there last Saturday buying books.. should have paid more attention!! So is it a good place? do they have a website.. stupid question when I finish this I will just go look for it anyway!

    I seen the poster as well maybe 2 weeks ago.Best was when they had sheridan, either last year or the year before :)
    They used to be really cheap for books because they sold them in punts what the rrp was in stg, ie: if it was £6.99stg on the back, it was £6.99punt.
    Now since the euro, the prices are the same as Eason's :/

    oh well maybe they have a better selection of books.. anyway yeah i always though it was a comic shop and imagined the person working there like your man in simpsons "No i will not sell you this comic, UNLESS you can answer me one question!"... maybe he is like that anyway with a name like collector but at the very least it will be worth a laugh...

    The guys behind the counter are just like the guy in the Simpsons ('Worst Episode ever'!).

    However, they do have a good selection of Science Fiction and fantasy books (although they're still far from the best)..

    Sub city - is just pure comics with a shelve or two of videos - no fantsy or science fiction books there.

    So where is the best place for good books ?

    Well thank you very much!
    I was unable to see it in the evening because of work so i was going to catch up on them all in the repeats and videos.
    I was doing a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers untill now!!

    Again, really, thank you!

    well it should be expected Figment, tend to discuss things here.. umm dont worry about it! We did not mention how he died sav&^....... better stop there.. oops... no kidding have not given away any more than i knew before i saw it.. a rumour he was being killed off.. he may return though as that was SORT of left open as you will see.. are you watching the repeats on sky 1? as they are not too far behind the current series i think...

    I would have though an "In-joke" card would have been more appropriate slydice. Unless of course you meant the card to refer to someone else :)

    Maybe, If I was trying to avoid "spoilers" I wouldn't go reading through the SciFi threads......?
