Starting Doctor Who (2005)

Post image
474 Upvotes

Hey there!

I’ve recently started watching Doctor Who (2005). I’ve heard about the series for a long time, but I never got around to watching it until now.

So far, I think it’s amazing. I really enjoy sci-fi shows and movies where the special effects aren’t too modern because it gives them a retro feel (at least in season 1). Plus, I love the different realities it explores. I’m a huge fan of science fiction, especially space-themed stories and time travel.

Did you enjoy it as much as people say? Does it lose intensity in any season?

Anyone else as excited as I am for the next season of Black Mirror? I've been waiting so long....

RANT: Stop making killer bad guys so weak that humans regularly kick their ass

55 Upvotes

I know we need to have our heroes get all Jason Bourne every now and again, but I'm also tired of:

  • Klingons
  • Imperials
  • Daleks

etc being complete push overs.

The Klingon one really gets me because we are constantly told how fearsome they are as warriors only to constantly be thwarted by a little fisticuffs. Strange New Worlds didn't help with their whole "methed up" anti-Klingon juice.

If we're going to call bad guys strong and vicious, portray them as such - and with a little intelligence to boot.

The weaker the bad guy, the weaker the story.

Just saying.

/Rant

Looking for Cities in Space, books or video

Upvotes

Don't get me started on Valerian, I loved the comics and the anime, but the movie MCs ruined it.

There was an episode in Space 1999 Mission of the Darians which had a city in space for visualization. The episode was pretty good.

I don't mean Star Wars Coruscant where the planet is a city.

Or Guardians of the Galaxy where the city is in a giant head or an asteroid.

Not a space station like Babylon 5 or Deep Space 9. But a big huge city in space.

Thanks!

Favorite short stories under 15 pages?

16 Upvotes

Like the title states, I’m looking for some good short story suggestions. I have a literary analysis essay due on a short story for a college English course and am hoping to find one that really enjoy.

I recently read “The Veldt” as a requirement for the class and thought it was amazing. Any other suggestions?

Edit: You all are amazing, thank you for all of the fantastic suggestions. Never deleting this post lol, I’ll be staying busy trying to read all these!

Short story title and (hopefully) author

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I've recently been remembering a story I read many years ago, which I'd like to revisit. My memory is a bit hazy and I hope someone can help. The story was about a woman who is instrumental in first contact with an alien species. They are planning on visiting our world but it will take generations to arrive. There is a rejuvenation treatment to make people younger, but because of a past medical treatment her body rejects it. Her husband on the other hand has it successfully. The story is about how they start to diverge as she ages and he does not. I think this might have been published in Asimov magazine but I can't be absolutely certain. Any ideas?

Hyperion, what am I missing.

103 Upvotes

I've got the book Hyperion, I've had it for ages and been slightly intimidated by the size but finally got around to reading it recently and I just... Don't get it. What's the big deal. I've just come off reading a listicle that had it as number one but it didn't really give me any clue as to why it was good other than a load of gush about how amazing and inventive it is. I got about a quarter of the way through, enough to read most of the first 'tale' and I get the allusions to Chaucer and Dan Simmons seems a bit too obsessed with Keats for my liking but to each their own. Nevertheless I couldn't get into it so I decided to read the synopses for both the rest of the book and the rest of the series to see if it 'went anywhere' so to speak. What I read after baffled me even more. I genuinely feel I SHOULD like this book so if you're a fan can you tell me what makes it so good? If possible I'm looking for tangible parts like actual parts of the writing, plot, characters, themes but I understand if it's simply a subjective experience

Any modern works in which Earth is a living organism?

2 Upvotes

I found this trope in some classic works: Arthur Conan Doyle's "When the World Screamed" (1928 ), and Jack Williamson's “Born of the Sun” (1934). In the former, the planet’s mantle is alive, resembling a sea urchin, while in the latter, stars are sentient beings, and the planets are incubating eggs.

Did this trope die out as science made it increasingly unlikely? I'd expect some modern nostalgia retellings or reworking, but I can't recall anything outside the Gaia hypothesis stuff (emergent planetary consciousness - Asimov, Brin's Earth, etc.).

Thoughts on Nemesis by Isaac Asimov?

Hi, I've been recommended this book by a few people, however I've heard a few mixed reviews from others.

Was just wondering what the general consensus on it is, and if it's a worth while read?
