    This ad sounds like the plot to the movie SERENDIPITY, and if she was as hot as Kate Beckinsale was in that movie, it'd be worth tracking her for the next five years.

    @Chip Skylark of Space: if either was as hot as David Tennant or Neil Patrick Harris, it would be worth devoting 5 parsacs and 3 drops of red matter to the search.

    That's the last housewarming they get invited to, I bet.

    Metal Tornado sounds awesome and Love just sounds incompetent, like they knew what moon is about and tried to emulate its plot. So sorry A&A but no your movie sounds stupid. #metaltornado

    It sounds like perfect material for a band like Manowar. If anyone could write about metal tornadoes, they could. I should check out some more Voivod, though. #metaltornado

    I learned today that the mom of one of my kids buddies is a Twilight fan. She's 40.

    Nevertheless I blame Joss Whedon and the success of Buffy and the lack of "getting it" demonstrated by all those csashing in.

    As to SciFis response? How about Bujolds "Barrayar" series. Assloads of romance in that. And it doesn't suck.

    I point to Scott Westerfeld's books. Specifically Peeps if you want sci-fi/horror non-vampire vampires, Midnighters if you want goth/emo non-vampire vampires, but probably the best most well written series as far as targeting and addressing coming of age, relationships and social issues - Uglies. Uglies was brilliant.

    There is definitely room for romance in scifi. But if it is the driving force then it defeats the role of the genre.
