Science fiction, with an edge, you may never find in any other author…

Have you ever read a book by this author?

by Pohl, Frederik, IV

Once Evesham Giyt and his girlfriend settle into life on the colony world of Tupelo, things seem to go well. But that all changes when Evesham becomes mayor of the colony. Stumbling onto a plot, he realizes that the price for saving his adopted planet may be much more than he can afford.

I can remember reading his books as a kid, I loved the far away lands and places he took my young imagination.

Science fiction, reading a book that you just could not put down or having a cup of coffee as your reading in the morning.

It is a great way to start the day.

Warehouse 13

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:08:56 +0000

A new series called warehouse 13 on scy fy on the revamped sci fi channel, or scy fy channel, I think I liked it the old way, but hey what the hay.

There are some similar aspects to this show, the objects, which are evidently contain some magical or paranormal qualities.

It is a little like the hotel thing you remember that a few months ago, but there are some hopeful aspects on this one.

You have an entire warehouse full of all kinds of stuff I think they will need some good writers because so far the writers they have are in need of a little help, I expect they are trying to make another Eureka, if they are successful in that then they will certainly do really well.

There is an older technology that is ultra new, if that makes sense, so far we are on show number 2, and it is certainly of interest.

An old with the new twist type thing.

Throw in a little romantic tension, the good kind, with nice legs and you have a good part two to part one.

Stay tuned, for some extra stuff you will not find anywhere else.

Yes, this definitely feels a little like eureka all we can hope for is some better writing.

Do you believe in UFOs?

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:02:23 +0000

With all the tv shows and all the different opinions about UFOs you have to wonder, however if you take the definition of UFO it really just stands for Unidentified Flying Object, which could in fact be anything at all, anything that is unidentified.

So in reality, there are really two different thoughts on this subject, the one you hear the most about is the theory that aliens are on our planet, and the other one is that in fact, the UFO thing is explainable Unidentified flying objects.

Either way, to date we have not found any substantial evidence that aliens are at the bottom of any UFO sightings, but in the defense of those that do believe, there have been many unexplained sightings, however until we have evidence that defies examination, then we have to say that UFO are in fact just that.

CSI Crime Scene Investigator

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:29:16 +0000

These Tv shows are popular in fact they are so popular that there have been several spin off programs that have been created each with different types of content, many of the actual professional CSI technicians criticize these shows as being too easy of course when you have less than 45 min of programming time to work with minus the commercials you have to do something a little different.

The original show was good in fact, it was so good they made three more shows from that one, but only one of them really did well CSI Miami, and CSI new york, of those two you can get a different opinion about each, of course the lead Gary Sinise takes the cake hands down, against the lead for Miami, whom some say tends to pull his punches a little too much.

Either way the show is certainly popular and is sure to please the scientist at least most of the time, I have seen some of these shows that seem to just take the plot too far and some that dont go far enough, of course a good writer can make these things work better and a less talented writer well you know how that usually ends up.

The graphic nature of some of the shows sort of turns off the younger crowd mostly girls, however the technical schools are filled with would be CSI students, and there is no end in sight to the commercials you see on TV about becoming a CSI investigator.

The real life work is rarely as simple and easy as they show on TV and the music is definitely never as good.

However they do a good job at times of showing exactly how frustrating it can be dealing with suspects that dont want to get caught.

Criminal law is rarely portrayed in the correct manner, usually they show a pro prosecution standpoint, which is only one side of the story, the defense side of the story is rarely told, but again they do not have as much time as it would take to do the job right.

Production is a mess on these shows, with special effects taking a lot of budget potential and music also being a large part of the budget, often you might wonder if they are doing the right thing.

Entertainment is the way of these shows and that is something they do well.
