So why is it they never have a solar eclipse at night? And maybe, if they really want to do something spectacular, they have a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse at the same time with some Aurora Borealisses. But it has to be on a holiday weekend. And not too far from where I live.

Next #SciFiChat is Feb. 20, Friday. Social Hour at 3pET, Discussion Questions at 4pET. The topic will be: Let's Get Medieval, or, #SciFi Set in History. #Fantasy #Horror #Books #TV #Movies #Comics #Games #History

So tell me, what did you do this week in the world of #Geek culture and #SciFi #Fantasy wonders? Tell us with the hashtag #SciFiChat

#Science News: Short your lithium stocks. (Careful, this one is LOTS of chemistry technobabble) www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #SciFiChat

#Science News: On the first day, God said Let there be light, and that was all he needed. The rest was just for the performance review. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #SciFiChat #life

#Science News: Cupid's first love affair. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #SciFiChat #ValentinesDay

#Science News: How the scientists got inside my body, I'll never know. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #SciFiChat

I am adding this to #SciFiChat as it flies by my timeline. Seemed appropriate given today's theme.

My #SciFi: Up to speed on Knight of 7. Got the first ten minutes in of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, just ain't got time to do it merit. Also want to wrap up Fallout. ANy other shows that I am behind on? #SciFiChat

My #SciFI this week: With all the travel, I lost a week from designing my game, but I still have to get a prototype ready for playtest at Unpub Festival March 12-15 in Baltimore. Yikes. #SciFIChat

My #SciFI this week: We walked all over Colorado State Univ. at Accepted Students Day. Sending my kid to college is about as surreal as any fantasy I ever read. #SciFiChat

My #SciFi this week: Started reading The End of Eternity by Asimov. Yeah, pretty sexist shit of the Pulp Era. But reads a lot like Loki's TVA. #SciFiChat

My #SciFi this week: I had another trip to Emerald City, Seattle. I had to deliver a pickup truck from Boise. Decided to train in for seafood at Pike Place, but walked smack into the midlle of some crazy parade, a celebration for, I don't know, blowing up the death star or something. #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat is in slightly-late mode. Welcome to the #SciFiChat Social hour or 57 minutes. Please introduce yourself to the chat and tell us all about your #SciFi love this week. #Fantasy #horror #books #TV #Movies #comics #games #valentinesday

Well, the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter seem to have a lot in common... #SciFiChat

I'm sure teh good Doctor has been well-behaved in that Tardis. I mean, would you let your daughter roam all about inside a police call box with a stranger from a different dimension? #SciFiChat

We should let Lois Lane loose on an investigation into Wayne Industries'' secret slush fund... #SciFiChat

Robin and Poison Ivy at the high-school prom... #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat Q6: Which classic showdown would improve—or completely derail—if it happened on Valentine’s Day? #Comics #BatmanVCatwoman #Movies

Bugs and Elmer in therapy: "Oh, I'm not really a doctor..." #SciFIChat

Harley and Joker in therapy. Therapist's note: Sickos. Call 911. Don't make any sudden moves. #SciFiChat

He-Man and Skeletor: Conflict may be the result of aging. Doesn't respect the fact that the other has had his face melted off. #SciFiChat

Remember, we have a better conversation when we use the hashtag #SciFiChat. It keeps things from being too personal.

Witch, Dorothy, how about this. Why don't you give her the slippers, and why don't you fly her home on your broom? #SciFiChat

Luke in Therapy: Wait! What was that about your sister? #SciFiChat

Luke in therapy: "Tell me about your father, Luke." #SciFiChat

Batman and Catwoman at Couples Theray: "Have you thought about joining a BDSM club and just giving yourselves an hour a week to explore your wild side? The masks really don't work in public, perhaps?" #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat Q5: If your favorite arch-enemies had to attend couples counseling, what would the therapist’s first note say? #Comics #SciFi #Fantasy #Horror #Books #TV #Movies #Marriage #valentinesday

I think it is to stress that they are at war. A good general always knows his enemy. Also, in writing, you can best define your character when you have another character judge his worst traits. And get them disastrously wrong. #SciFiChat

Comic-book heroes are just obssessive. I mean, how else do you explain someone walking around in tights and a cape. That said, I saw someone in a real cloak the other day, just walking along the street. I can't get him outta my mind. #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat Q4: Why do heroes and villains often understand each other better than anyone else? #Comics #Horror #LitChat

Bill and Beatrix discussing child-custody arrangements. Something something flopping on teh floor, something something not flopping on the floor. #SciFiChat

That, and "I have the higher ground." #SciFiChat

I am pretty much thinking that the whole line of "No greater hive of scum and villainy" was proper for the entire soriritity of that girl who stood me up. #SciFiChat

It is also possible that there are alternative solutions that cannot coexist that have differeing goals but a common initator. For example, an asteroid is headed to the Earth. Blow it up. Push it out of the way. or Evacuate the planet. Pick one, do it fast. No, not that one, you dumbass. #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat Q3: What’s the most dramatic “I hate you forever” speech in #SciFi or #Fantay that secretly sounds like a breakup monologue? #Books #TV #movies #Valentines #Breakup #HiveOfVillanyAndScum

I like to think of it as the immovable rod versus the irresistable Fist of Force. WIth car chases. #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat Q2: What makes a great arch-enemy: matching powers, opposite philosophies, or just wildly petty grudges? #SciFi #Fantasy #horror #comics

Luke's Sister and Brother-in-law. Luke's Dad and Nephew. Luke and swamp creature. Luke and damn-well anybody that sneaks up on him. #SciFiChat

Luke and his dad. Luke's Dad and Mom. Luke and his robot. #SciFiChat #SciFiChat

Gotta love Bats and Supe. Also, Joker and Harley. But let's go with Marvel and say, Peter Quill and Rocket. #SciFiChat

#SciFiChat Q1: Which arch-enemy pair in #SpecFic has the best “we argue because we care” energy? #SciFi #Fantasy #horror #books #TV #movies #Comics

New #EasterUnderground tactics for the #Resist: Bring a big red party balloon to protests and ICE raids. Let them go when the helicopters and drones appear. Better yet, mylar balloons, they have a bigger radar profile. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #ElPaso #Aviation #FuckICE

OMG! This list of immigrants is awful. These people are horrible! Something must be done! Arrest them all— Oh, wait, these names are all rich and powerful people. Never mind, carry on. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #EpsteinList

Has anyone pasted Trump’s face on an orangutan? You can tell me. What? That’s just him? How disgusting! Who’s that baboon, then? #Trump
