One of the things I really loved about The Expanse is that the science conforms with physics, for the most part. Objects in space don't fly like jets in atmosphere, but move according to force vectors without any aerodynamic effects. Watching them flip the ship in a fight instead of fly in some half circle, evacuating atmosphere and suiting up for a fight using kinetic weapons, all made sense. Finally!

That plus they don't show the UN in a positive light.

I read some pretty good SF awhile back. Two fleets square off against each other and take positions. Then there's several weeks of acceleration. Finally, they launch missles -- by computer because the timing is too precise for a human. Repeat as necessary. Probably wouldn't make for very entertaining TV, but I enjoyed thinking about it.

The thing that hooked me is just how plausible the alternate history is. Minor changes in various events could have resulted in this outcome.

I didn't read the book (maybe I should have), but I think the TV Show is great.

Also, I haven't ready Phillip K Dick works. But I did the movies (Blade Runner and Total Recall) based on is books and I did see Electric Dreams. That was a hit or miss.

I'm not a big fan of Dick.

I didn't think that I would like the series either. The topic doesn't really interest me, and in general I haven't liked the Phillip K. Dick stories that I've read (I have not read the book the series is based on). So, I only started watching the series about a month ago, when I decided to watch the first episode on a whim, while doing something else. It drew me in so much with the story telling that when I got home that night I watched it again with my spouse, and we've both been catching up on the series since then. We're currently about halfway through the third season.

A word of warning if you're looking for an immediate SF theme, though: the first season is mostly a spy thriller set in an alternate universe, with the setting being the only thing that's really "SF" about it. But that changes in the second season, as the notion of parallel worlds becomes more central to the plot. By the third season that concept seems to be driving the plot. So the "SF-ness" starts slow but builds as the series goes on. I'm very interested to see how they finish it up in the fourth season.

I didn't have any trouble finishing the book, but compared to something like Expanse it just seemed kind of shallow - I'd maybe compare to Blake Crouch's Dark Matter. I don't consider the reading time wasted but it wouldn't be very high on my list of recommendations. I guess I'd have to say that Dick's genius wasn't in writing well-formed stories like, say, Bradbury, but in presenting more open-ended imaginative concepts that offered more opportunity for interpretation and adaptation. Though I doubt that was his intent at the time...

I didn't watch it because it was on syfy, but I kept hearing great things about it, so I came in during the second season. I really didn't see what people were so excited about. Then recently the DVR picked up the first season which I thought was much better. I wonder if people got into it and that tinted their opinion about season two.

I suspect something similar with Heinlein. I didn't read him until I was in my 30's, and wasn't all that impressed. But I can see that his kid's books would have appealed to me when I was much younger. I wonder if people view his later work more positively because they enjoyed the earlier stuff, building a positive disposition.

I read some of Heinlein's stuff in my late teens and early 20's, and to me it was hit or miss. On the other hand I couldn't get enough of Asimov. Loved his Syfy and his mysteries, as well as the non fiction stuff.

Quote

Marvel are reportedly looking to cast their first openly gay superhero, and fans have already suggested who could take over the role.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige hinted that the studio was working towards bringing a new LGBTQ character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe last year, and now it's been claimed that casting has opened.

According to the That Hashtag Show, Marvel are on the hunt for an actor who will play the lead role in their 2020 feature film The Eternals.

I think it is only natural to wonder how many inches a Superhero can swallow while fighting an intergalactic menace that might very well destroy the cosmic fabric of the universe.

In the mid 70's Captain America was so disgusted by government corruption that he abandoned his uniform. Is there any doubt that story could have been improved by a homosexual love scene between Cap and Falcon?

I have 3 favorite movies.

1. The Matrix - for it's brilliant special effects, and mind expanding retelling of the Jesus story.
2. Captain America - Winter Soldier - for it's action sequences, and it's political intrigue.
3. Pizza Boys - for it's intense and explicit gay sex.

I'm just kidding about that last one. I have actually found that even though I have been told gay porn is a genre that cuts across all demographics, and everybody likes gay porn, the thing that turns off many heterosexual viewers is all the gay sex.

I mean non-lesbian gay sex.

I don't hate homosexuals. In fact,I feel sorry for them. Life ain't already screwed up enough you need to add homosexuality to the burdens you bear?

Having said that,why the HELL did anyone ever agree to call them "gay"? "Gay" means happy,and they are maybe the least happy people I have ever ran into.

"The Twilight Zone," then and now

CBS Sunday Morning

March 31, 2019

Quote

In 1959 Rod Serling's TV series, "The Twilight Zone," made its debut on CBS. Though not a major success at the time, the show that served up horror and science fiction stories as winking tales of contemporary society has taken on legendary status, influencing films and TV ever since. David Pogue looks at how Serling crafted a TV classic with New York Times television critic James Poniewozik, and talks with the writer's daughter, Jodi Serling, about the influence that his hometown, Binghamton, N.Y., had on Serling's allegorical tales. Pogue also talks with Jordan Peele, the writer-comedian behind the Oscar-winning "Get Out" and "Us," who this week introduces a new iteration of "The Twilight Zone," debuting on CBS All Access.

Gratuitous faggotry, for want of a better term is a death sentence to any series, imho. Fear the Walking Dead started off great--credible for the genre, with the junkie kid the only one to really see what was going on (he had no normalcy bias, because he had no normalcy is his world as an addict, so he caught on first). He tuned in to the zombie apocalypse before people who led normal lives (to have a bias about) did.
The series was going well until one of the characters put a passionate liplock on his childhood friend.
End of story, right there.
Never watched it again.
Orphan Black went down the same path, and with the same result.
Mr. Robot never got a look, the previews were enough.

If the actors are homos, well, act, and stop projecting their sexuality into my living room, if they want to make a living.
How long did Rock Hudson get away with that and have a thriving career? (He still got it in the end, so to speak).

Called it quits on SWAT when they put one of the characters into a 3 way marriage. Did the same for that new CW show "Roswell" when 10 minutes in they had a Alien / human gay relationship[. IO don't recall even finishing the episode. I will give Batwoman a shot when it comes up, but if she ends up being a SJW and the gay bit is the main story line forget it.

Seems like it is also now taboo for any white characters in a series to date one another UNLESS they are homos. If two white co-workers were dating each other the first season,by the second season they had split up and were either dating a black co-worker,or a new black character had been introduced into the cast,and they were dating them.

The "New Reality" seems to be the evil white race will die off as they "evolve into the New Normal " of the Globalist Master Race of mixed blood. No big deal,since what have white people ever contributed to civilization,right?

Are there ANY white heterosexual working writers left in Hollywood or NYC?

It had good actors and a good plot,but then they got so racially PC that I couldn't stand to watch it anymore. I will be shocked if someone tells me they don't have a left-handed,cross-eyed Muslim Eskimo trans-sexual scientist or detective on there now that isn't dating a vacuum cleaner.

@sneakypete The show is Blindspot. They have pretty much stopped the PC stuff after the second season. It was actually an important plot point in the third or fourth season and it had a legitimate pay off with the Psychiatrists character. The last two seasons have been very good. They had a couple of close calls when they almost jumped the shark, but they managed to pull it off. They do have one regular that is gay and a recurring one, but I think that is a legitimate plot device so Rich.com and Patterson can engage in witty banter with out sexual tension.

They had a couple of close calls when they almost jumped the shark, but they managed to pull it off. They do have one regular that is gay and a recurring one, but I think that is a legitimate plot device so Rich.com and Patterson can engage in witty banter with out sexual tension.

@verga

Thanks for clearing that up. I will probably start watching it again now that I know they have backed off from their PC Gone Wild days.

Seems like it is also now taboo for any white characters in a series to date one another UNLESS they are homos. If two white co-workers were dating each other the first season,by the second season they had split up and were either dating a black co-worker,or a new black character had been introduced into the cast,and they were dating them.

The "New Reality" seems to be the evil white race will die off as they "evolve into the New Normal " of the Globalist Master Race of mixed blood. No big deal,since what have white people ever contributed to civilization,right?

Are there ANY white heterosexual working writers left in Hollywood or NYC?

We saw it first in commercials and sitcoms, where the white guy was either ridiculously stupid or absent, then I don't think I have seen many commercials recently that weren't slat and pepper couples. Even the 'remodeling and home buying shows my wife likes to watch got light in the loafers, and had about one couple in three who were 'partners', not a man/woman couple, which would be somewhere close to 20 times the national demographic (and that demographic may well be exaggerated because they keep adding letters to the whole GLBTQPbWTF? bit. Sure seems to be aimed at eliminating 'Ozzie and Harriet/Leave it to Beaver' America.

So I saw "Avengers: Endgame" this past Saturday. Although I was unhappy with a couple of things, overall I enjoyed the movie a lot. I think that anyone who has enjoyed the Marvel superhero movies will probably love it. Although it is a 3-hour movie, for me it didn't feel that long. At one point my wife leaned over and asked me to check the time; I was surprised when I realized that almost 2 1/2 hours had gone by, because it didn't feel like it at all. It just moves along, with very few slow spots (and most of those are early on, before the action really starts).

There are no post-credit scenes in this one, so if you have to rush to the restroom when it is done you won't have to wait. Other than that, I won't give out any spoilers....
