    Hi Guys:

    Great episode this one of Fantasy.
    Although I understand that your time is limited, and you already said it, I would like to encourage you to make a “Part 2″ of this show, because there are so many films and books that were left undiscussed.

    I’d suggest in the future you comment about:

    - His Dark Materials trilogy (I’ve read it, and it’s AWESOME)
    - Harry Potter series (I’ve also read it, and I really like it. Can’t wait to hear your opinion)
    - The Wheel of Time series (I know quite a few, and I know it’s really good)
    - The Inheritance Cycle (written by an 18-year-old boy)
    - Inkheart (really good)

    And the list could go on and on with books and films.But please take this ideas into consideration for future shows.

    Keep up the great work you always do at the Starbase.

    Bye.
    Agustin.

    Like Agustin, I’d like to see you go into some more fantasy. While I agtree the Wheel of Time is a must, if you are going to do Harry Potter you need to look at Ursula K LeGuin’s Earthsea series. Also Weiss and Hickman’s Deathgate Cycle is another set of books that need to be on any complete list. =)

    It might be interesting to talk about why there seems to be a lot more good written fantasy than movies or television. When you compare it to Sci-fi, it seems to be more of an even ratio.

    Keep at it! =)
