SFLIS Minutes - Oct. 3, 2001

- What rooms should we put stuff in at ICON?
  There's no full schedule of events yet, but keep checking the website.
- If you like Whiskey and Star Trek, there's an auction being put on by
  Chibas Brothers.  The winner gets lunch with Patrick Stewart.
- Enterprise tv series.  Some people liked the premier, some weren't as
  impressed by it.
  It shows the most skin of any Star Trek so far, with the captain kissing
  multiple species.  You can also see half-naked female Vulcans.
  No red shirts, so you can't tell who's going to die.
  Baywatch meets Star Trek?
  Were the Vulcans too emotional?
  Vulcans don't eat with their hands, regardless of how logical it might
  be to do so.
- The next Star Trek movie will be called Star Trek X?
  Was Deep Space 9 the best Star Trek series or wasn't it?  It was better
  then Voyager.
  We try to rank the Star Trek Series from best to worst.  Except for the
  first one - it's too old to compare with the others.
  There was a pretty lively discussion about this, might make a good panel
  for ICON.
- Buffy is on at 1am Saturday.
  Is Angel better than Buffy?  We have a discussion about this, too.
  And Blade, comics, movies, etc.
- Captain America:  The creator leased the character to Marvel for 90+ years.
  Now, at age 90-something, the creator wants him back.  May be tied up in
  court for a while, so Marvel might kill off the character.
  That's the rumor, anyway.
- Something about u-boats attacking Atlantis.
- The Deep Space 9 discussion has resumed, so there will be a panel at
  ICON, even if we have to drag the perpetrators there.
  How to kill the Ferengi.
  Would the Borg assimilate tribbles?
  Was Battlestar Galactica better than Deep Space 9?
  Ok, that's it.  Now there will be TWO DS9 panels at ICON.
  How would you like to see a time-travel episode of Voyager where everyone
  kills Janeway in a different way?
  Was Voyager a ripoff of Red Dwarf and Chips?
  Now we have a discussion of Chips.  And somebody sings the theme song.
- Mutant X.  Will it be a ripoff of X-Men?
  It will be on very late Sat. or Sun. night.
- Lord of the Rings on Dec. 19.  We need to make plans.
- Space pirates at Serendipity Oct. 13.  If you're not going to ICON, you
  should go to this.
  We try to talk them into coming to ICON, offer propaganda, etc.
  This month, it's the Halloween episode.
- More discussion of Enterprise.
  Within 2 generations they eliminated disease, poverty, and war, and
  started popping out spaceships.
- North Liberty gets the SciFi channel.  And some people may never leave
  home again.
- The Survivor Golf channel.
  Why don't they have music on MTV any more?  For a while there was one
  MTV channel that showed music videos, but that's changing now.
- Making fun of psychics.
- How to get rid of extra Webs games.
- ICON is NOT at the Westfield this year.
- A discussion of the easiest courses at the UI.  Relaxation Techniques,
  Survey of Computing, etc.
- More Star Trek.
- We might have a movie night next Wednesday.
  Ok, we will.  We just need a room.
  7pm, probably somewhere in the IMU.  We'll show Time Bandits.  There
  might also be some horrendously bad crap.
- Etc.
