About Me

  • About Me: I am a Geek Squared. I love science and literature. I think that reading and gaining knowledge are extremely important. I tend to get a bit obsessed with certain books I like and very passionate about certain topics. I love fantasy, science fiction, religion, history, and other random topics. I spent a great deal of my time from sixth grade through my first year of college waiting for the next Harry Potter book to be released and rereading the previous ones.

    the only time travel episode I liked were a few from the next generation.... Like the las two episodes cause I thought they were well planned out and the one where Worf gets stuck going into the future

    @dude_maxton - I heard about the series finale. I hope I'll be able to watch reruns. I sometimes liked the time travel episodes and sometimes not. It depends on the plot. - J. M. 713
  • dude_maxton
    @dude_maxton - Galactica was the best 6 year investment of my life. Sadly though..It had its series finalle like three weeks ago I saw all the startrek. The only problem I had wit the original series and enterprise was that they did alot of time warping stuff. Sometimes they would go into the past,
