Sci-Fi Shenanigans

by Elisa, Stik of Clubs

Rated: 18+ · Book · Sci-fi · #1587540

Not hardcore enough to be ultra nerdy, but it's not that shallow, either.

I'm not super dedicated to science fiction. In fact, it's my escape from reality. However, even when escaping I have plenty to say on the subject. I'm not as devoted to it as some people I know. That said, it's not a shallow thing for me. I can overthink it like I overthink everything else under the sun (and moon and other planets). My ramblings will range from cerebral to silly and borrow random elements from seemingly nonsensical areas. Many have (and will) appear in my journals first. When they arrive here, there will be edits for language, typos and similar details. However, the 18+ rating will stay since sex, violence and similar topics will be addressed in this blog. After all, sci-fi includes these elements in various ways from time to time.

To get an idea of my science fiction background, I recommend this primer "Preferences in a nutshell"

. Links are always relevant to my interests, and my favorites can be found in the lefthand column next to this blog. You'll also see links to my other journals if you want to browse the unedited versions of my rants and/or see who I am outside the science fiction realm. Comment as much or as little as you like. Just remember that I'm not here to take things too seriously, as that's just not how I roll in sci-fi discussions.

The dance party should include the Safety Dance, just for karma alignment....

In response to "What Would You Do?"

It wouldn't be Heroes. It would be superhuman fiction. There's a long tradition of that, dating back to 1938, though mostly it's been in comic books. However, it's also been in traditional books, notably the Wild Cards series.

There's a market for it, if you want to write it.

In response to "Something involving productivity!"

They got ADF to write it?

Now that's awesome.

On the other hand, most of us would like to forget many of the things he's done, like writing the Star Wars novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye and the script for Star Trek: The Motion Pic-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But those were 30 years ago. Since then, he's been awesome.

Science fiction / comic fans have no lives and have personal issues that lead to unhealthy fixations??! Say it ain't so!

Liked him better as Spock.

In response to "Mirror, Mirror on the wall"

I don't know, but I was at the gym, which is the only place I see commercial television, and I saw - with the sound off - a Priceline commercial that had William Shatner and William Shatner With A Goatee.

I can only assume that it was a reference to Mirror, Mirror, and IMMD.

(There's a reason I've sported a goatee for most of my adult life...)

I will have to ask him, but it has something to do with the sword going through planet Earth. Itis more about what the symbol represents.

In response to "Kickin' It Old School"

Are you talking about the symbol or the salute? Because the salute definitely has Nazi overtones (and was intended, I'm sure). If you are referring to the symbol, have any links for comparison?

In response to "Kickin' It Old School"

Oops, Simon thinks that symbol looks a bit Nazi-ish.
Oh, and I hate the new doctor. I want David Tennant back.
Maybe the new storyline is good, so that would be interesting, but I so dislike the new doctor, that it is no longer enjoyable.

The ISS symbol as in the sword going through a planet? That would be a wicked tattoo!!!
