    Watching "Blake's 7" (No Spoilers Please)!

    I've heard nothing but good things about this show so I've decided to give it a try even though it's a little too old for my taste. I'm not going to post long reviews but just a few thoughts after each episode, because I'm not a native English speaker and their translation would take me...

    Pandora's Floating Mountains - Cool But Totally Unrealistic!

    After seeing "Avatar" many Sci-Fi fans including me thought that the concept of the floating mountains was interesting, but it had absolutely no scientific explanation in the movie. So how do those magic floating mountains really work? If they are kept in the air by some kind of a...

    Sci-Fi Elements In Spy Fiction!

    Laser pens, X-Ray goggles, sonic weapons and Rambaldi devices. Spy fiction seems to be full of cutting edge technology that pushes some movies, books or TV shows into the Sci-Fi genre. What are your favourite Sci-Fi elements in spy fiction?

    What Are "V"'s Chanches For A Second Season?

    What Are "V"'s Chances For A Second Season? I really like this show so I hope it gets a second season, but I realise that it's all up to the network and networks often tend to cancel good Sci-Fi shows. I know very little about TV ratings, so I wonder what are the chances for a second season...

    An Upcoming Remake Of "Total Recall" - Why?

    http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=53284 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386703/ I think the "remake mania" has finally gone too far. :klingon: Why would they make new version of an excellent 1990 Sci-Fi movie with a great director, cast and special effects?

    Uncomfortable Plot Summaries Game!

    I've read some of those in other forums and I think it could be a very amusing thing to do. Here are some of my ideas for uncomfortable Sci-Fi plot summaries: "Dune" - A civilization of drug addicts kill each other like animals for the position of Chief Drug Dealer. "Babylon 5" - A dirty...

    "Dune" Miniseries Vs. "Dune" 1984

    I've always considered "Dune" 1984 to be one of the ugliest high budget movies ever made. It was also a huge dissapointment to the fans of Frank Herbert's novel. The 2000 miniseries on the other hand does a much better job of telling this epic and complex story. The cast is great, there is much...

    "Cargo" (2009) - The First Swiss Sci-Fi Movie!

    I've just seen this movie on Blu-Ray and my opinion is that it is just awesome considering its low budget (4 500 000 Swiss Franks) and the fact that it's the first Sci-Fi movie Switzerland has ever produced. It's about a cargo ship transporting materials for the construction of a new space...

    Are Ferengi Values A Satire Of Modern HumAn Society?

    I've been thinking that the portrayal of Ferengi in all of Trek shows is sometimes very similar to the modern capitalistic society that we live in or what it might become in the future. For example the "Rules Of Aquisition" remind me of those annoying "How To Become A Millionaire" books that we...

    High Budget Sci-Fi Films That Disappointed You!

    Let's start a sister thread to "Low Budget Sci-Fi Film That You Enjoyed". The first one I can think of is "War Of The Worlds". It costs $132m. but I found it extremely boring and couldn't finish it the first time I saw it on DVD.

    Low Budget Sci-Fi Films That You Enjoyed!

    Even though Sci-Fi movies usually require a lot of money to produce, some directors have proven over the years that a good film could be done with a relatively low budget. The most recent example of that is "Moon" (5 million $). Some of the other low budget films I enjoyed are: - "Critters" (2...

    Would you like to see a Star Trek show about the Maquis?

    I think that a Star Trek show about those freedom fighters would be an interesting idea. For example there could be some old Firefly-style ship, named "The Che Guevara" or "The Charles De Gaulle". The crew could consist of outlaws, thugs or disgraced Starfleet officer from different races...

    How do you feel about "too humanoid" aliens in Trek?

    What is your opinion about the aliens in Trek who look too much like humans. In some episodes of all five shows we see species who are almost identical to humans or have some minor physiological differences (such as a slightly different nose or a forehead). I think it is highly unlikely for...

    Is "Nemesis" an underrated movie?

    I'm surprised by most of the opinions about "ST Nemesis". For me personally it's a great movie and I really don't understand the negativity towards it. Yes, it was a box office failure, but there are many examples of excellent movies which were not financially successful. I don't see why...

    What was the reason for the low ratings of "Enterprise"?

    "Enterprise" is definetely my favourite Trek show (especially the third season) , so I was wondering what was the reason for its low ratings, sometimes below 3 million viewers per episode. I am not from the US, but I know that the competition for the TV market there is really severe and many...

    Some inaccuracies I've noticed in this great movie!

    Star Trek 2009 is a truly remarkable movie and one of the best space adventures ever made. Nevertheless I've noticed some continuity errors and inconsistencies with the other Trek shows, such as: 1. Young Spock obviously knows, that "Romulans and Vulcans have a common ancestry". That statement...
