sci-fi


On the Hog’s Head forum we’re beginning a view-through of Joss Whedon’s brilliant Sci/Fi series Firefly.

This is an excellently conceived, written, acted and produced series that is well worth your time and won’t insult your intellect. Just the sort of series that Fox likes to axe.

We’ll be going through the series episode by episode in the order intended by Whedon. Not, I repeat NOT, in the order Fox decided to air them.
1 “Serenity”
2 “The Train Job”
3 “Bushwhacked”
4 “Shindig”
5 “Safe”
6 “Our Mrs. Reynolds”
7 “Jaynestown”
8 “Out of Gas”
9 “Ariel”
10 “War Stories”
11 “Trash”
12 “The Message”
13 “Heart of Gold”
14 “Objects in Space”

Discussion will begin on 15th Feb. If you wish to join and contribute your valuable insights please limit your discussion to the current episode or any preceding episodes- ie. Don’t get ahead of the story arc.

C.S. Lewis and The Doctor

For me, two very important events happened yesterday and today.  Yesterday, November 22, 1963, C.S. Lewis died, his death being overshadowed by the assasination of John F. Kennedy.  Aldous Huxley also died that day too.  Lewis is well known for his Chronicles of Narnia books and also for his Christian apologetical works, even giving a series of radio lectures during World War II which would later form the book Mere Christianity.  Among many works, Lewis also wrote science fiction, The Space Trilogy, and also, what I consider to be his best work, Till We Have Faces, a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

The watering hole plays a strong part in the adventures of many of our fictional heroes and heroines and I’d like to have a real-life poke around in some of them. The inns, that is.

Please comment with your choice and why you’d like to go there… or not.
