People only remember (if they remember this show) how incredibly schlocky and terrible this show became. Granted, it had more seasons being a trainwreck than being watchable....

One of the first movies to leverage the idea of radiation- it came out the same year the Godzilla debuted in Japan, and two years before Godzilla came to the US theaters....

My personal top five Star Trek episodes from across the franchise. My opinions are not designed to be controversial, but in the past they’ve been molten hot in Trek groups. Numerous well regarded episodes that are the consensus tops don’t make my list, and in fact TNG is entirely absent....

Most of my favourite books/movies/TV shows are Sci fi - I love Mary Shelley, slaughterhouse five, annihilation (both the book and the movie), The Thing, x files, the invasion, and the OA. This feels like a pretty wide variety of writing styles when I line them up but 90% of the sci fi I read/watch I just don’t enjoy at all....

Respectfully, I find the Foundation TV series extremely disheartening. I envy those who can watch Lee Pace’s triumphant acting without being completely off put by the appalling writing choices in the show. The fundamental aspects of the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series books clashe so hard with the message being presented...

Ft. David Goyer & Chris MacLean from the vfx team. Includes several clips from episodes throughout season 2.

Would a lightsaber make a good lawn care tool? I think so....

The animated BiliBili adaptation of The Dark Forest (Book 2 of TBP) was a bit strange, but I really like the ending theme. The mood is perfect for what should have been a great adaptation.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this book, but it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. In general I like hard scifi that goes as in-depth as possible about the fictional science. I think this book kind of took that concept to the next level. There are still characters in this book, but I think it...

My process for reading these was a bit wonky— I read the first 41/2 in Chinese, then finished the last 1/2 in English, so I don’t know how accurate my impressions will be for the first few. However, now that it’s over, I’d like to share a few thoughts I had....

A lot of the people think that the last two were worse than the ones before, but personally I don’t see the problem with them. Heretics is probably my favorite Dune book, with chapterhouse and god-emperor as close seconds. Anybody else have thoughts?...

Andy Weir tweeted this fan-fic based on his book Artemis....

I got this book because it seemed like a cool edition of The Foundation Trilogy. I later discovered that it glows in the dark when I turned the lights off to go to sleep.

Hi!...

The reading from the YouTube channel Fear The Qu is great. I know this book gets a lot of criticism, and ended up wildly changed from what Dixon wanted to do on his own, but I really enjoy the final production. The vignettes of life through the ages, the nature documentary style, and even the creeping fringe scifi element of...

If you are old enought to remember this show, you now make noises when you sit down. As a ten year old, this was the coolest truck on TV, the trailer would split open from the top and there was a helicopter hidden inside.

I’m not saying Empire is bad by any means. It’s still entertaining. But I was shocked when the Internet burst my bubble to declare Jedi a joke and Empire the best. (btw, potential spoilers)...
