RED DWARF returns for two new series of space hijinks and vindaloo
There’s a ton of great sci-fi shows available to watch. From various Star Trek spin-offs to Sliders [Editor’s note: Darryn please update pop culture references], the medium is filled with numerous series that are high-concepts with even higher stakes. But very few TV shows set in a sci-fi universe have ever been predominantly comedy and successful. Save for one. I am of …

I’m going to start off unusually today, by quoting myself from when I told you about Bryan Singer adapting Robert Heinlein’s ‘The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress’ two months ago: Now, can someone PLEASE adapt Joe Haldeman’s Forever War – or do we still need to figure out how to make an anti-war sci-fi novel work?

We live in a society where the moment anything even remotely remarkable happens (usually involving somebody falling down the most dramatic fashion), everybody whips out a mobile phone to record it. And thanks to the quality of cameras on newer phones, we can now watch people fall down in 4K Ultra HD! So with that in mind, it’s pretty amazing …
