Very good prophets of Science Fiction.. I think the tale of Frankenstein is not anti science, but be careful in what we create.

Has Terra Barfo gotten any better? Or is it still a dope opera?

I've missed even good 'B' grade on-screen sci-fi since the loss of 'Serenity'.

Terror Nova isn't even a 'B' show. I'm willing to give it a chance if it gets better. I want to believe stupid libs can write and produce good sci-fi.

I just finished listening to the Larry Niven Ringworld audio books (helps work go by much faster). Definitely very interesting stuff and I enjoyed them greatly.

terra nova is not sci fi. it’s liberal social bs with dinosaur dressing

not even worth the download

The first one sounds like a regular 'space opera' and might have potential. The other two sound like -- been there, seen that.

Saw "Arctic Predator" a made for TV movie on the Tube last night. The story was naggingly familiar and then it hit me, this was Dan Simmons "The Terror" transposed to the other end of the planet and rather badly mangled.

The Terror is notable for being based on a true story of a British Expedition to find the Northwest Passage. The two ships in the expedition ended up frozen in the ice for two years until they finally were broken up by the compression forces. Surviving crewmen walked to shore where they later died. The ship's logs and a couple of crew diaries were recovered. Dan Simmons throws in one speculative element to this historical mix and it is off to the races.

I highly recommend the book, the movie less so but it is a bit of fun.
