Head in a jar.
Good news, everyone!
First man on Mars in SpaceX Starliner. Great fiction!
Lmao
This has been one of my favourite shows. It's a ton of fun and all the space stuff is great. Every season you see a fantastic astronaut death.
This show feels a lot like a prequel to the expanse and has been absolute gold so far. Can't wait for season 5 in a few days!
Too much drama for drama's sake. I lost all interest in watching during season 2 & read the plot summaries instead.
Yeah too soapy for me, tried to like it multiple times
Hell yeah! Best non-trek sci fi show since The Expanse.
Makes me wish Apple TV would buy the rights to The Expanse and finish the series. There are two more books that take place years later.
And The Orville.
For AllMankind feels so hopeful because, like The Orville, it’s got Trek’s fingerprints on it.
Created by Ronald D Moore it has star trek at its core from him
unlike actual star trek these days.
You don't like the future of body-positive sexually ambiguous females running everything?
you can easily include trek in that statement.
Better than Lower Decks? SNW? Nah.
Trek is not sci fi.
That’s true of currently airing fanfiction. Episodic Star Trek shows were definitely sci-fi. Philip Dick, the only person high enough to define sci-fi wrote:
This world must be different from the given one in at least one way, and this one way must be sufficient to give rise to events that could not occur in our society… There must be a coherent idea involved in this dislocation…so that as a result a new society is generated in the author's mind, transferred to paper, and from paper it occurs as a convulsive shock in the reader's mind, the shock of dysrecognition.
In good science fiction, the conceptual dislocation ---the new idea, in other words---must be truly new and it must be intellectually stimulating to the reader… so it sets off a chain-reaction of ramification, ideas in the mind of the reader; it so-to-speak unlocks the reader's mind so that that mind, like the author's, begins to create... The very best science fiction ultimately winds up being a collaboration between author and reader, in which both create---and enjoy doing it, experiencing the joy of discovery of newness.
Oh look it’s this flame war again. Haven’t seen it since the early 90s on BBS
new series regulars Mireille Enos, Costa Ronin, Sean Kaufman, Ruby Cruz and Ines Asserson
Glad to see Ruby Cruz getting work. Willow wasn't what all the fans wanted, many of whom had not watched the original with an eye towards how intentionally hokey it was made to be, but it was finding its voice by the end of S1 and didn't deserve to be shoved down the memory hole.
As for the trailer for FAMk season 5...
spoiler
The Expanse spiritual-prequel vibes are only getting more intense. Looks like it could be a good season. Now we just need to avoid narratively questionable plotlines grafted on from a hidden folder on Ronald D. Moore's laptop and executed with the deft hand of a daytime soap.
I thought the main cast of the Willow series did a fantastic job. Criminal that the show not only got canceled, but deleted from D+.
