I remember seeing a trailer for the next "Command & Conquer" which would end up getting cancelled and being excited despite not having been a BioWare fan at the time since they had built up a reputation for awesome narrative experiences. But recently. I hear Baldur's Gate 3 has...

Actor Shea Parker was imprinted with a lifelong love of space and sci fi due to Star Trek being aired on TV every year from the 80s to the 90s. I did not know that show had quite a impact. Looking back I find it kind of sad there wasn't any good shows during the 2006-2015 time period with...

The transcontinental railroad, built with exploited Chinese workers, the Wright Flyer, the Model T, FDR's programs during "The Great Depression", the WW2 mobilization, the interstate highway system, yes I know it bulldozed minority neighborhoods, the civil rights movement, the women's rights...

We should have gotten better space fantasy movies than the J.J. Abrams Star Trek and Star Wars movies during late 2000s and early to mid 2010s! Who else here agrees? Imagine a timeline where instead of those movies we have had gotten excellent adaptations of sci fi that had a sense of wonder...

It seemed like that during the early 2010s people either saw the sci fi genre as something that only kids or people who lived in basements enjoyed. People used to think that about fantasy during the 80s and 90s but the massive success of movies like Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, The Hobbit...

Is there anyone here that agrees with that sentiment? I think concepts like Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan" series about a WW1 with steampunk machines and genetically engineered animals and Harry Turtledove's "Worldwar" series about an alien invasion during World War 2 would be cool if they...

It looks like something we should have gotten during the 2015-2018 time period. It looks like it was supposed to be made in 2014. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hbo-developing-third-wwii-miniseries-413632/? What has kept the talented people who made shows and movies like...

I find it kind of sad that I don't recall anyone I knew from my public school years in an average middle class suburban part of America during the 2000s who went into science or engineering. I don't recall anyone from my elementary school years back in the early 2000s saying they dreamed of...

What if instead of mansions, yachts, and private jets the people of Hollywood in the 90s and 2000s were more interested in turning their smog covered city into a utopia with electric cars and green public transport powered by solar, fusion, and nuclear power? They were also inspired by the...

"No Man's Sky", "Mass Effect Andromeda", "Starfield", etc. Starfield is a little better than Andromeda but it isn't amazing like the ME OT, BSG, and The Expanse. While we get amazing games like "Horizon Zero Dawn", "Spider Man", "Elden Ring", etc. Mass Effect Andromeda seemed aimed at the MCU...

Perhaps it is because the first sci fi show I ever watched was aired during the Nov-Dec time period. And as a sci fi fan it feels like getting a nice Christmas present. If I was a TV show producer in 2022 I would have a big space adventure show ready for November-December 2023. And rather...

I remember back in 2015 there was a comment on a video for a Johnny Cash song that stated “Seems like a game f*gs play” after a E3 2015 trailer that revealed Mass Effect Andromeda used a Johnny Cash song. I didn’t know if they were referring to the original trilogy or Andromeda. Andromeda did...

Back in 2011-2014 there was not one show on TV that had space travel in it that was not a Star Wars cartoon. I enjoyed "Clone Wars" and even "Rebels" btw. Now there are at least a dozen and we are getting more. https://www.tor.com/2021/09/27/babylon-5-the-cw-j-michael-straczynski/...

I was just a young idealistic college student back then. During the Summer between my Freshman and Sophomore year of college in 2014 a friend showed me a video game called "Mass Effect" and I was blown away by the universe, story, and characters that was created in this video game. As a "Cod...
