I watched Another Earth recently, whilst on the fringe of SciFi it was a fantastic film to watch and I really loved the ending.

The Archangel

Me too. Meeting a real mirror you would be so mind bending, I think I'd be speechless and afraid.

I love this programme, I think it's really kept up with the times in terms of production values, I'm also really looking forward to the new series (BTW, I can't remember the Doctors by number so it could be anyone?!).

The Archangel

Ditto re the programme & the Doctor numbers!

But in Safari, found that No 10 was David Tennant. Definitely liked him in the part better than the present No 11 Matt Smith.

Tom Baker was my favourite.

Tom Baker was my favourite too but I am biased, he lived in the same village as me and I used to share the occasional drink with him and also browse the local book fair and he always seemed to be there when I was.

Another one I missed:-( Looked it up & sounds great. The mirror thing sounds intriguing.

Yes, Tom Baker was a good one. And his scarf. Probably choose the scarf if it comes down to a choice:-)
Think my favourite has to stay with Jon Pertwee.
But liked both Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant. Some of the others were a bit weak.

Same here! But can't remember much about it now. As in, the plot, the characters, why seven?
So the whole thing really....but I remember liking it:-)

Did you see Survivors? Have always enjoyed plots about the aftermath of some worldwide catastrophe (post-apocalypse?). Seeing how the details of daily life's needs are handled, that sort of thing.

I feel cheated when the writer fudges something that he doesn't know much about. Must be the same for others with different knowledge angles but in my own case, think it was in Survivors where (as well as trying to survive generally) they made clothes from scratch in a week.

Something like: found a sheep or two, learnt to shear them, taught themselves to spin, knit, weave, wore the finished garments in the next episode..... Reality? That isn't!!

Same in TV's "The Good Life" (did you watch that?) Barbara decides to *weave* Tom a whole suit (even dyeing the spun wool with nettles or similar). But she starts off with a whole sheepskin--the wool with skin attached--not the more usual wool only, which has been carefully shaved off the sheep, leaving him a bit cold but alive & kicking, ready to face another day. Nothing is mentioned about the poor sheep's demise...

Lol. Your sheep post made me laugh. You have a point. Now I'm imagining bio-engineered sheep with zip-off wool coats that morph into suits that perfectly fit humans.

What an excellent idea!!!
Will you patent that or can I??
 
Kaykaykay said:
You can patent away. I know people in China who will then knock off the idea for a fraction of your cost, lol.

Giggling here:-)
But you forget--post-acopalypse, there won't be any Chinese left to be doing any of that.
 
Good morning folks. Glad you're enjoying the "SciFi" Discussion forum. :)

Please be careful not to stray too far off subject.

Thx

My fault again. Apologies, knuckles duly rapped.
 
A couple of SciFi / Fantasy practitioners have passed.

Josepha Sherman was born in 1946. Her first novel was Golden Girl and the Crystal of Doom.
In addition to writing science fiction and fantasy, Sherman also edited publications of folklore.

Jerry Nelson was born in 1934. Nelson was a puppeteer. He worked out of the Jim Henson shop with the Muppets, off and on, for several decades. On The Muppet Show, he provided the voice of the announcer of “Pigs in Space."
