Michael Shanks @ Forbidden Planet

Fidelis

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 ?

Pepe LeFrits

Coo, i might drop by next week and have a look

Saruman

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!

EvilGeorge

No website , you'll just have to pop in and say hello to "The Collector" !!

Celt

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

Saruman

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...

Pepe LeFrits

jees, i didn't realise he was leaving SG1 so soon (he died/turned into an energy being in the episode tonight)

Saruman

yeah i heard a rumour he was leaving but did not actually think he would then last night bam.. but at least he went out in style!

Krusty_Clown

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)..

EvilGeorge

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 ?

Saruman

getting into books we are in the wrong thread but best places are Chapters in abbey street and places like that.. also the arcade in south great georges street (below aunger street) has good bookstalls

Figment

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!

Saruman

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...

EvilGeorge

I missed the whole series barred the first few episodes after having my dish moved - so have to wait until RTE show it - DOH!

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......?

Naturally it was a test kaids to see how long it would take for a muppet to reply and clinical waste just did....
