SYNERGY – Back in the Day Gems?
Synergy is back! This is the third installment of the feature, and the first under the BSCreview banner! For newcomers, the basic gist is that one of our contributors offers a single question for our other contributors to give answer to. Beyond that, we go out and adopt talented outsiders who choose to become BSC la familia to participate. The question fielded this month was given to us by Brian, and we are taking it back today rekindling memories of our favorite childhood gems; be it movies, books, TV, comics whatever. We have a great field today full of award winning and hot new talented writers that include Charles Stross and Ken Scholes, to one of my all time favorite comic creators in Colleen (A Distant Soil) Doran, and we get Trekkie (and Fifth Element) credentials with Sonita Henry joining us who most recently was in the Abram’s Star Trek movie, that’s just taking over box office bragging rights!
I hope you all enjoy . . .
