science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Rewatching... Doctor Who: The Evil Of The Daleks - Part 6
"ALL DALEKS RETURN TO SKARO!" Saturday 24 June 1967 Things are hotting up. The story began as a sort of urban thriller starting at Gatwick and taking in warehouses, alleyways, antique shops and trendy coffee bars. Then it moved both time and location to a Victorian manor house, with servants, a wealthy philanthropist, ticking clocks, creaking wood-panelled corridors. Now in the third and final act, we get yet another location: Skaro! This has turned out to be quite an epic.

The Little Alien (#5)
The little alien came to earth by accident.First, she was lost but then came to learn how to blend in with human society as predators hunt her down. The people that lived around that area said that amazing and extraordinary things happened there for like, no reason, and thought that these things were done by spirits.They were a superstitious lot, the main reason why she settled around there—anything going wrong as she learned to settle was not read into much. People said, that sometimes they could see a thing glow in the woods at night. Others say they can hear music not of this world, drawing them into the depths of the woods, where no sane person would wonder. And the scent, a scent so sweet that could only be compared to million roses, but to the surprise of the tourists, who have heard the stories, no roses could be found growing there. At least, none there dared to walk further into the forest to find some for fear of disturbing the sound, until one man arrived, too curious to stay away and to drawn to the mystery to pass over it

Inside Out Space
“As we have suggested to the supreme member body of the Milky Way Galaxy Tribunation. The expedition to the third planet has been plotted out to be 80,500 pc from Ailien. We have been monitoring the planetary life forms extensively and through an exhausted analysis, we have arrived at an irreproachable understanding of the planet’s current and projected future technological projected development. We have then, and within our functional collective parameters, have ascertained that the 3rd planet has not become dominant in its ability to travel beyond the perimeter of its own inclusive solar system. Moreover, we have amassed through initial and through a continued analysis, that an Ailien expedition would be needed to assist the carbon energy units some additional assistance as to transitioning within a higher echelon of vibrational development. And in so doing, into a higher level of consciousness and overall collective vibrational velocity. All in all, as in accordance with the collective fellowship of universal covenant of abiding members of the Milky Way Consortium of Contingent Planets. We therefore, as codified within our bylaws, and through the provisions and codex of planetary interventional conventions, are therefore authorized to engage in direct exploratory contact with the third planet and its carbon based self-contained inhabitants. Furthermore, we have, in accordance with mutually agreed interstellar protocol; have incorporated surveillance monitoring probes within the perimeter of the third planet; placing them directly within the interior of its surrounding dark matter field. Therefore, it is encouraged for this mission that we accept volunteers who therefore will immediately contact the field command of the Ailien bureau of interplanetary emancipation for further instructions of mission protocol and review.”

Brutalist Stories #26
Fifteen years? Seems longer somehow. Fifteen years ago they appeared in the sky. From Zero, things hit One pretty quickly. Boom, they were just there, one minute we’re alone in the universe, well, at least some thought so anyway. Then the next minute, a couple of dozen ships are there in the sky. Floating up there, what are you supposed to do when that happens?

Review of Twin Peaks: The Return 1.8
Anyone who doubted that Twin Peaks is one bizarre science fiction horror story of a story got their answer tonight in episode 1.8: it is, with a vengeance, spun of gut-wrenching, stomach-churning, searingly mind-blowing wordless narrative the likes of which you don't often see on any television, unless you're maybe watching Donnie Darko someplace the 20th time.

Alex The Inventor-Chapter 17
Read Chapters 1 - 16 at: Deep Sky Stories Chapter 17 (Part 1) - The First Hello Elizabeth Faraway led Alex into the little kitchen where he saw something resting on the table. It was a little square computer screen on a folding stand and, at first glance, it could easily have been mistaken for a tabletop picture frame."Come sit down," Elizabeth said and she pulled up a chair for him. Sitting down beside her son, Mrs. Faraway brought the small silver screen up close and then lightly touched the glass.There was a momentary blink and flicker as the tiny screen reset itself, then a face appeared behind the glass. The person belonging to the face seemed to be in the middle of talking to someone else but then was interrupted by a faint voice that sounded like Miss Vee‘s. She was talking urgently and there were faint explosions in the background.Alex couldn't understand much of what she said but he thought he heard his name mentioned once. Suddenly the man's face changed drastically and a look of deep sadness and guilt showed clearly in his eyes. He looked away for a few moments, perhaps trying to gather the nerve to continue talking, but finally, he got control of himself and looked up again, straight back through the glass and into Alex's eyes.

The Hamrelstein Institute
Log: Dream 5/25/2017 12-1:45 PM We were in a large dark room lit only by several various terrariums containing mundane or exotic plants and animals and we were writing something down about them, their DNA, what the telomerase was... When a teacher began speaking to us aloud.
