If Network released Year 2 on Blu Ray, I would definately buy it.[/quote]It looks like your wish may come true within the year.
Huh. I’ve never noticed that function before. Amazon’s search engine must have some interesting parameters. There’s a Playboy listed at #15 (an edition from 1999, but of course), and, not to be overlooked, the ever-popular ‘The Global Theory of Minimal Surfaces in Flat Spaces’ at #33.
BfA now ranks number one. 🙂
I apologize for not being clear. I meant to ask how does one pull up a rank list for a given topic of books.
Site I used to translate that last long discussion…
‘Behind the scenes’ stories that provide more detail to known events, as well as ‘below decks’ stories that provide more details from the eyes of a lesser known character.
Huh. That’s a new one for me. It appears to be from a German site, ‘Mondbasis Alpha’, that is largely untranslated.

What worries me more is pop culture references — if the Alphans start talking about Silly Bandz, it would take me right out of the moment. …. Of course, classic literature references are fair game. Moby Dick in Resurrection, for example.
[/quote]For what it is worth, I whole-heartedly agree. Nothing will date a story quicker than a contemporary pop reference. Not so long ago we were watching an old Buck Rodgers ep with Gil Gerard and I had to explain to my son a reference to Three Dog Night. While one could argue that this sort of anachronism fit the series, any suspension of disbelief went right out the window. And I agree. I do think the various Star Trek series did a pretty good job at staying ‘classic’ (which is why I feel the show has had such staying power… certainly not for the 40, or even 20, year old SFX!).
