ENTER! Scifi Av Contest: Not That Historic

[bbjeg]

Sorry for the wait, I was... Um... Busy doing stuff... But here it is. The current theme will be Historical figures in sci-fi. Anything involving historic figures in sci-fi movies or television. I'm sure there's enough to go around.

Avatars must conform to trekbbs rules. Max image size 150x150px and max file size 140kb.

You mean "historical" figures, as in famous characters from history, or historic figures--famous figures from the history of scifi?

If it's the first, then my entry is this:
Mark Twain on TNG

 

[JiNX-01]

Star Trek/The Savage Curtain

 

[Saga]

 

[scotpens]

Mary Shelley (Bridget Fonda) encounters time-traveling scientist John Hurt in Frankenstein Unbound

 

[BigJake]

 

[Avro Arrow]

Not sure if this counts, but it's the first thing I thought of when I read the subject, so I'm going with it...

- H.G. Wells AND Jack the Ripper in Time After Time

 

[Owain Taggart]

Great topic. I'll have to see if I can dig something up. Oh and Avro, love that movie! I think that would have been one of my choices if you hadn't already chosen it


Found one. Just because animation can be cool. Managed to find one that was already animated which I've edited to the right dimensions. Tesla as depicted by David Bowie in The Prestige:

Hope it counts as Sci-Fi, as I certainly felt parts of it felt a lot like a mix of sci-fi and fantasy.

^For the win!

 

[Kai "the spy"]

"Remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero, not even as Sebastian. Remembered only... as Jack"

 

[AgentCoop]

Vincent Van Gogh from "Vincent And The Doctor".

 

[Showdown]

They aren't the actual historic people, but wax-droids of them. Is it okay?

Red Dwarf, episode Meltdown - Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, etc.

^It's fine Showdown.

 

[auntiehill]

Vincent Van Gogh from "Vincent And The Doctor".

There's another vote taken, even though you can't see Vincent's face. I think that's one of my all-time favorite Who episodes.

 

[AgentCoop]

That episode is one of my favorites, as well. I wanted to show more of Vincent's face, but this was the only screencap I could find that had both him and the Doctor.

^ Finding the right image can be hard, that's for sure.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Quantum Leap - Sam Beckett leaps into Lee Harvey Oswald

 

[Owain Taggart]

That's for sure, auntiehill. Oftentimes, I spend time looking for something that isn't the most referenced image, something different, like that one of Tesla I entered.
