  9. Andor, saison 2, épisode 3.

    Enfin un épisode réussi dans cette saison.

    Dans des styles différents, la séquence du mariage et celle de l'inspection fonctionnent très bien.

    Dans un registre plus léger, la scène du repas de famille est également excellente, j'ai beaucoup ri.

    Espérons que les prochains épisodes soient au même niveau.

  13. #PennedPossibilities 1013 — MC POV: Have you ever lived in another country / place besides where you were born? Would you want to?

    [Bolt:] Okay. figured ya didn't mean in the country, a different country area other than where I was born, so I had to look it up, then had to ask someone. A pretty-out there question, this one! Learnt there're a few autonomous regions that get to have different customs, different laws, and different money systems, but there's no other place completely, separately ruled by anyone other than Rainy Days. There's a reason why her title is Director of Home (our world) and the Nine Outer Worlds (because there are nine others, but none like home). Now that I've learnt that "Nine Outer Worlds" actually means nine other places beyond the stars that people live and ya can walk through an Interstellar gateway to go there, I'd like to walk through one of them daemon-worked miracle gateways, to see a sky different from ours, at least once. Since Boss Mead's syndicate doesn't extend beyond Home City, I probably won't be allowed, though.

    [Bolt's a bit of a country bumpkin who ended up in the big city against her will. But she's right, there are no nation states, and though Rainy Days delegates much of her authority, that sometimes backfires to the extent that wars break out (like the one she started in Reluctant Moon), she technically rules ten worlds, mostly colonies on Mars-like worlds where people live under domes, and two hollowed out asteroids. The Dragon world is large enough that it has a breathable atmosphere, but it's hellish.—RS]

    Bleeding Cool News has some information on *The Ark* season three, taken from a recent interview with Dean Devlin regarding the new season another of his shows *The Librarians*.

    Notably, Devlin says:

    “…the first two seasons of 'The Ark' were kind of the pilot of the show, and season three is actually the first of the series in a strange way,..”

    Utopia in Babelsberg – Science Fiction aus der DDR

    rbb · 44 Min.

    Science Fiction aus der DDR: In Babelsberg produziert die DEFA Filme, die heute kaum bekannt sind – und doch technisch wie künstlerisch überraschen.

    Werke wie Der schweigende Stern, Signale – Ein Weltraumabenteuer oder Eolomea zeigen Bildwelten und Effekte auf internationalem Niveau.

    Doch die „utopischen Filme“ stehen vor einem Dilemma:
    Die marxistische Ideologie entwirft eine konfliktfreie Zukunft – den Kommunismus. Aber wie erzählt man spannende Geschichten in einer solchen Welt? Statt auf Kampf setzt die DEFA-Science-Fiction auf Begegnung und Kommunikation mit dem Fremden.

    Die Filme spiegeln Vorstellungen einer sozialistischen Zukunft – und bilden zugleich einen Kontrast zur westlichen Science Fiction.

    #Film von #KnutElstermann

  17. The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.

    S02E11 - Quo Vadis:

    With the UCH suddenly vulnerable, everyone is scrambling to take advantage, including the Republic.

    Despite their intentions to liberate those citizens currently oppressed by the UCH, the Republic are still invading sovereign territory, much like the corporations. But can they considered liberators if the people don't want to be free?
