Next on Earth Station One...

Next week, Earth Station One takes a look at Surprising Sequels: Movie Sequels That Surprised Us. Has there ever been a sequel that surprised you by being as good as or better than the original like Spider-Man 2 or Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back? Perhaps just different enough to surprise you like The Dark Knight or Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? Or any movies that surprised you by heading off into strange directions like Highlander 2 or Pirates of the Caribbean? And yes, even those sequels that didn’t quite work like Ghostbusters 2 or Star Wars Episode One? Plus, movies that we always thought should have had a sequel, but didn’t. These are the movies we’ll be discussing on ESO episode 140.

Then, ESO sits down with Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation writer Scott Tipton, who also takes a turn in The Geek Seat. And, as if that wasn’t enough, we take a look at the latest episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead as it heads into the fall finale. All that plus the usual rants, raves, shout outs, and the ever-popular Khan Report! It’s going to be another action-packed episode of Earth Station One you won’t want to miss.

ESO wants to hear from you. What movie sequels surprised you? What did you think of the latest episode of The Walking Dead? Have you visited a convention or planning one? We’d love to hear from you at www.esopodcast.com, email us at esopodcast@gmail.com, or call 404-963-9057. We might just read yours on the show. Follow ESO on Facebook and Twitter.

PODCASTERS, WRITERS, AND ACTORS... OH MY!

Yep. This is my muse to a T.

Virginia Hey on Farscape

I had a great time sharing our gift ideas for Earth Station One’s Geek Gift Guide episode. Then, the ESO crew conducted a wonderful interview with Virginia Hey of Farscape, Road Warrior, and James Bond fame for this week's episode, which should go live on Wednesday or Thursday.

It's been a long, but productive day of podcasting, writing, posting, and updating websites. I did take a break to watch some TV tonight as well. Both Once Upon A Time and The Walking Dead turned in really tight episodes this week. Both are highly recommended. We'll review this week's The Walking Dead on ESO as well.

Also, don't forget that tomorrow is Cyber Monday. I'd really appreciate it if you tried one of my novels or anthologies.

Well, I'm beat so I'm calling it a night. Let’s do this again tomorrow, what d’ya say?

OH, THOSE PESKY WRITER PROBLEMS...

I see this every time I look at my computer. It's tasks me.

Sometimes it ain’t easy being a writer, let me tell ya.

So I get an idea for a new book today. Always great when that happens, but I had to put the brakes on it because there are several priority projects ahead of it. I guess, as problems go, this isn’t a bad one to have.

The urge to start writing on this new idea is strong, but there are deadlines to meet on other projects so I had to clamp down that enthusiasm and put on the brakes. That's okay though. Like a nice meal, I'll let the idea simmer in the back of my mind for a bit.

Today was another busy one. Did a little more errand running with my Mom while my Dad is under the weather. Bought some groceries and assorted odds ‘n ends. Spent some time working on and posting at www.bobbynash.com, http://BEN-Books.blogspot.com, http://allpulp.blogspot.com, www.esopodcast.com, and assorted social media.

I also spent some time doing my homework for the next episode of the Earth Station One podcast, which is our Annual Holiday Geek Gift Guide. We’re recording on Sunday this week as one of our guests is from Europe so we’re rescheduling to accommodate the time difference. Plus, we’re interviewing Farscape’s Virginia Hey as well so it should be a fun day.

Oh, yeah, and somewhere in all of that I managed to get a little writing done too. Added a bit to the Domino Lady novel, which is getting closer and closer to the end. I can see the finish line in the distance. I expect to put this one to bed sometime in the next week or so.

Somewhere in there I popped in a DVD, since there was nothing on TV tonight, and watched a couple episodes of Buck Rogers. Still a fun show. But, it’s a little past 3 a.m. as I write this so it might just be time to call it a night. Think I’ll watch tonight’s episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea that I DVR’d off MeTV then call it a night.

Until tomorrow.

Earth Station One Episode 125: Into the Wormhole with Farscape

On this episode, the Earth Station One crew gets shot through a wormhole and talks about the wonders they have seen on Farscape. Mike, Mike, and Bobby are joined by Jessa Phillips and Shaun Rosado to discuss their favorite memories of the exotic characters travelling aboard a living ship. And Jessa avoids the Aurora Chair only to find herself strapped in The Geek Seat! All this, plus the usual Rants, Raves, Khan Report, and Shout Outs.
