    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. .

    A 20-pound Enterprise 1/350 scale model

    Tomy is crowdfunding a 20-pound lighted 1/350-scale die-cast replica of the starship Enterprise, NCC-1701. The goal is to get 5,000 backers at $599 each. That sounds like a lot, but when Quantum Mechanics did some 1/350 lighted ships a decade-ish ago, they were in the area of five or ten grand...

    Fictional Firearms

    Most TV and Film productions use real weapons or modify them like the Sterling SMGs in Star Wars. Now and again, however, a show decides to make its own props. In 1970 Gerry Anderson released his live action series "UFO" set in a fictional 1980 where a secret organisation called SHADO battled...

    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...
