Doctor Who: I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With a Dalek

A famous "Dalekmania" period song inspired by Doctor Who and by the Doctor's worst enemies since 1963: the Daleks.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) review

I just saw in a theater the new cinematic adaptation of the Valérian and Laureline comics, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which is a very good film. Probably, the best scene is the initial sequence about space cooperation at the rythm of David Bowie's "Space Oddity".
The film includes many historical references, such as the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, the fact that Alpha (the titular "City of a Thousand Planets") is really the International Space Station, the Destiny 2005 spacecraft (an Apollo CSM).

Orbiter 2016 review

I downloaded the new version of Martin Schweiger's famous spaceflight simulator Orbiter, titled Orbiter 2016. It's very realistic in almost all the aspects, except for collisions and air pressurization. One of the most beutiful aspects of Orbiter is that you can learn the C++ programming, which is used by many users to create new spacecraft, characters, vehicles, and celestial bodies.

One of Orbiter's bad aspects is that it's very slow to download, and, if you want to dowload it, you must download a downloading software, which is a little slow to download, too.

MALICE: 1999 - Special Episode

This is a marvelous 2012 standalone episode of the Malice webseries. It is set during the end of the Space: 1999 Year One episode "Breakaway", but on the Meta Probe and a Mark IX Hawk.

Rediscovering "Star Wars"

I just read on Rebelscum.com, a famous Star Wars-themed website, at its page, that Dr. David West Reynolds, a famous Star Wars book author, launched a 30-day-long Kickstarter project to film a documentary titled "The Archaeology of Star Wars", which target is to rediscover the remains of Mos Eisley, Mos Espa, the Tosche Station, the Lars farm and the other locations in the Sahara desert used to film the scenes on the desert planet of Tatooine.

Many of these scenes from Star Wars (now Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, 1977) and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) were filmed beetween Libya and Tunisia and, during the filming of the 1977 film, when George Lucas and his crew were filming the scenes with the Jawa sandcrawler on the desertic border, the Libyan military ordered that the vehicle was ransacked because they thinked it was a sort of tank or a bomb vehicle from Tunisia!

"Tales from Kweelera", S1E01: "Beginning a War, Part One"

Space.
Outer space.
And, then, the Earth.
A small blue and green planet: Earth.
Now renamed Kweelera.
A man.
A Homo sapiens sapiens.
An human.
Looking at the sky.
A spacecraft.
Travelling above him.
It's the KWS Gigantic, the most powerful warship in the Milky Way, equipped with three hundreds and fifty weapons, including fifteen ion cannons and one hundred laser weapons. The Majesty-class, the Gigantic's spacecraft class, was designed in 5000.
Some people critizised the idea to call it "Gigantic", because its name sounded too much like the name of the RMS Titanic, a terrestrial Olympic-class steam mail ship that sunk in 1912.
But it was also a name representing greatness, indistructibleness, power: majesty.
The Gigantic was just entered in Kweelera's orbit, and its crew of four thousands humans was preparing to what probably stopped the flow of the time and the existance of the space, a word formed by three letters: "war".
War, a total war, which changed our universe, and some other universes, too.

I'll write here

With this post I'll annunce that I will write on this blog a new science fiction literary work divided in episodes, just like a sci-fi TV series, but without pictures and laser beam sounds.

You can comment it, but I say you that if you'll use it or its relative material without my consense, you'll probably be in trouble. So, please follow my series and, if you want, you can share it through all the ways Blogspot (and I) will permit you to use.
