    Really alien aliens

    Martin Bayer, he did say of a painting of an alien that looked like a baby elephant: Clinically, it's called intellectual laziness. Yes, and the bumps-on-their-foreheads kind who talk about honour/logic/profit/petunias are even worse. So then, what are the genuinely interesting and deeply...

    Scavengers Reign - HBO Max/Netflix

    Finally appearing outside of the US & HBO Max this is one of the best animated shows I’ve seen a long time. Just a shame that though Netflix have now picked it up they’ve done virtually nothing to promote it. Which is a shame as it’s one the best and most truly alien scifi shows animated or not...

    Surprisingly Realistic Predictions in SF-Literature

    Good sf doesn't just introduce new concepts, it explores the ramifications of those concepts. As HG Wells introduced tanks, DEWs, nukes, transnational organisations, and air power, he also explored what they would mean. Now, I really can't recommend : Lem enough. Under this topic, his 1964...

    Routine (Horror game)

    On a very topical note, a horror game that, appropriately enough, has recently returned from the dead. Not to be confused with the 2020 game of the same name. https://www.pcgamer.com/sorry-routine-is-back/ https://kotaku.com/routine-raw-fury-indie-horror-space-alien-isolation-pc-1849043193...

    What Military Aviation Fiction & Non-Fiction Or That Features IFV (MBTs,APCs & CO)Would You Recommend To Someone Totally Ignorant On The Subject ?

    In the story I am planning, I would love to feature planes' fights and infantry fighting vehicles' fights. I tried to look for myself but the research result were somewhat small or didn't correspond to what I was looking for. Since I am not an aviation or aereospace engineer, military or...

    RIP Uhura

    Star Trek was part of my childhood TV and it was one of those programmes that my parents watched too. Nichelle Nichols famously only stayed on in the role because Dr Martin Luther King told her she should. She was a fine lady whose smile lit up the screen. .

    The world of James Bond

    As the movie industry wheels out yet another Bond film I prefer to return to the world of the original, in the pages of Ian Fleming's novels. For those who do not know what Britain was like for most ordinary families in the 50s and 60s, the glamour of the world described by Fleming in his books...
