I had great fun on the ‪White Rocket podcast talking Stargate. In White Rocket episode 151: Stargate, Part 2:‬ Van Allen Plexico, Jim Yelton, and Bobby Nash take a look at Continuum, Atlantis, and Universe. 

I always have a fun time visiting with Van on the White Rocket podcast. This time, we talked about one of my favorite franchises: Stargate. Part 1 of a 2 part retrospective.

I had a great time talking all things Stargate (the movies, SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe) with Van Allen Plexico and Jim Yelton today for The White Rocket Podcast.

Look for it soon.

I borrowed this one from my friend, author Jim Beard over on Facebook: Pondering my most-favorite TV series of all time and I sort of automatically came up with personal criteria for inclusion:

*No longer on the air, seen every episode, could watch any episode at any time, love them even for their faults*

So, using Jim's criteria, in no particular order, my Top Five TV Series of All Time (at least as of today):

M*A*S*H, Night Court, Magnum p.i., Star Trek, and Stargate (those last two I'll just lump all the series together though DS9 and Atlantis are my favorites of each). These are shows that, if I run across them, I will watch.

Honorable mention (since others are doing it) go to Leverage, Deadwood, The Newsroom, Justified, Longmire, Doctor Who,
Nash Bridges, Babylon 5, and Married... With Children. I can watch these shows (and have) over and over again.

What is your top 5? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

I like to travel to cons in style.

Got the word today that I will be returning a an author guest to TimeGate Convention on Memorial Day weekend, May 27 - 29, 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia. TimeGate is one of my favorite cons. They get greats guests and good crowds, but remain small enough to be intimate relaxed cons where fans, guests, dealers, and the like can hang out and chat. It's a fun time.

TimeGate is Atlanta's Premier Doctor Who and British Media Convention. If you like British TV and movies, this is the con for you. There used to be a large Stargate presence (the 'gate' part of TimeGate), but that has tapered off as there s no new Stargate being produced. This is a great show to talk Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Space 1999, Robin Hood, Hustle, Orphan Black, Torchwood, you name it.

With The ESO Network crew in 2015.

I'll be joining already announced guests Nicholas Briggs (the voice of the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Judoon on Doctor Who), Jason Haigh-Ellery (executive  producer of Big Finish Productions), Graeme Harper (accomplished director), Terry Molloy (actor known for Doctor Who's Davros), Stephen la Riviere (executive  producer of Thunderbirds 1965), Louis Robinson (singer/songwriter/storyteller), Mark Maddox (award winning artist), Anthony Taylor (author), RetroTV, Joshua Wilson (associate editor for Mad Norwegian Press), Courtland Lewis (philosopher/historian/author/musician), PixelWho (artist Nathan Skreslet and manger Ly Cao), Lt. Moxie Magnus (writer/entertainer), The ESO Network (podcasters), with more guests to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

The 1st time I've ever worn a Doctor Who scarf.

It was a thrill to be a guest at TimeGate over the weekend, May 23 - 25, 2014. Timegate is one of my favorite cons. It is a busy convention with great panels, but still remains small enough to feel laid back with little pressure. I missed the con the last couple years due to other commitments so it was nice to return this year along with several of my Earth Station One podcast network cohorts.

There were the panels I appeared on over the weekend.

SATURDAY
10 am - Project NORTHERN LIGHTS SitRep (Aaron Dunne, Mike Faber, Bobby Nash, Debbie Viguie) We had a great crowd and lively discussion about all things Person of Interest. There’s a lot of love out there for this fantastic television series.

I love how this shot came out. The reflected sun adds a lot to it.

11 am - Marvel At The Movies (Bobby Nash, Ken Spivey, Adam Throne, Jen Hartshorn) We talked Marvel movies, TV, and of course, the comics. There was even a giveaway as one audience member walked away with a Spider-man DVD.

1 pm - Writing and the Media (Diana Botsford, Debbie Viguie, Bobby Nash) This was my favorite panel of the weekend. Not only did I get to talk about writing, but my co-panelists, Diana and Debbie, were great fun to chat with. You should definitely seek out their work. You won’t be disappointed.

4 pm - Arrow: The Second Shot (Aaron Dunne, Mike Faber, Bobby Nash, Debbie Viguie) This was a rather lively discussion and I loved it. Season 2’s changes have certainly split fandom.

Talking Elementary w/Louis Robinson

SUNDAY
2 pm - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Welcome To Level 7 (Aaron Dunne, Lee Martindale, Bobby Nash, Ken Spivey, John Rabon) Another one of those shows that sparks much debate. Love it or hate it, there seemed to be no middle ground when it comes to talking about Marvel'’ Agents of SH.I.E.L.D.

3 pm - Elementary (Terri Sears, Bobby Nash, Ken Spivey, Louis Robinson) I had the great joy or talking about Elementary, and Sherlock Holmes in general, with Louis Robinson and the audience. We also veered off topic a bit to talk about NCIS, which was also entertaining. This was my second favorite panel of the weekend.

My favorite pic from the weekend. Thanks to Nikki Rau Baker for this one.

My table O' books.

Being behind the table and flying solo at the con, I didn’t get to move around too much. I did get to spend a few minutes talking with guests Doctor Geek himself, Scott Viguie, JC and Rita De La Torre, Monsterama's Anthony Taylor, Mark Maddox, and several cool folks stopped by my table to say hello. I know I’ll forget someone so I won’t try to write down everyone who stopped by, but it was great chatting with you all. I didn’t get the opportunity to talk with Stargate’s Paul McGillion or Torchwood’s Gareth David Lloyd, but I did see both of them around the con floor. A highlight of the con for me was having Doctor Who’s Terrence Dicks stop by to check out my books.

All in all, I had a fantastic weekend at TimeGate. I’d like to thank Alan, Susan, and the rest of the crew for taking such good care of me this weekend. Looking forward to doing it again next year.

I apologize for the crappy photos I took. My camera's phone was not cooperating as it should.

Phantom Troublemaker auditions for the role of The Doctor's enemy, The Master.

The Earth Station One crew attended two very cool conventions over the Memorial Day weekend. Mike Faber and Jennifer Hartshorn were guests at TimeGate along with fellow ESO Network personalities Dr. Scott (Doctor Geeks Laboratory), Jason and Rita (Transmissions from Atlantis), Debbie Viguie (The Thirteenth Hour), and Phantom Troublemaker (Earth Station Who). They found time to interview the amazing Moxie Magnus and there’s a rumor going around that they even met (and wrestled with) a Doctor! Meanwhile, Mike Gordon and the award-winning author Bobby Nash crossed state lines for the Alabama Phoenix Festival, where they met up with Joe Crowe (RevolutionSF podcast) and finally tied Van Allen Plexico (White Rocket podcast) to The Geek Seat!

As if that wasn't enough, Mike F., Bobby, and Jen attended the Atlanta premiere of Now You See Me, a new movie opening May 31. We give a spoiler-free review of the movie. Here's a hint: we liked it.
