Today we're celebrating 55 years since the first episode of Star Trek aired, in just over 55 tweets.

More than 800 episodes and 13 films later, it's time to go back to basics. To Star Trek TOS (Those Old Scientists) #StarTrekDay
Note: My screenshots come from the version available on Netflix in France, so the Remastered edition from 2007-2008.

Make way for pictures. 🖖

What would Battlestar Galactica (2003) look like if it were launched today?

Showrunner @RonDMoore : “I would still try to approach it with the same attitude that I had when I approached the original, which was I wanted to preserve the framework of what the original was." 1/4 Image
"I want it to be recognizable as Battlestar Galactica. It’s still a warship and an aircraft carrier in space, guiding a ragtag civilian fleet running from the Cylons after an apocalyptic attack. It’s about their society. What are the pieces of their civilization they..." 2/4 Image
"...chose to carry with them? What’s important to them? What does it mean to be a democracy? Then I would have to get down into the weeds and then it would be different because it would have to be informed by the last 20 years of what we have gone through." 3/4 Image

It's not for nothing that I treasure my archives on several hard drives. At least I know what I've collected is true.

It's all about avoiding inadvertently sharing art by Ralph McQuarrIA.
But the future of the Internet promises to be a gigantic lie rather than the finest library in the galaxy, and it's sadly a tragedy worthy of a great sci-fi novel.
Cherish your old (art)books. Protect your bookshelves.

[Thread] So I've been playing #StarWarsOutlaws since last Wednesday. I managed to play it for 15 hours (despite a wedding this weekend 😅).

I quickly realized that this game is MUCH more massive than I thought, and I'm still far from measuring the scope of this game.

I'll give you my first impressions in this thread.
First you have to know where I come from. I loved open worlds in the 2000s, but after the incredible Black Flag I lost the desire to devote dozens of hours to a single game. Since then, I've only played Mad Max and Red Dead Redemption 2 this winter.

Suffice to say, I started Outlaws from a very high starting point!
Unsurprisingly, Outlaws is no RDR2 masterpiece. I wasn't asking for so much. I was asking for fun. I was asking for Star Wars.

Given that, after 15 hours (which is already my ideal length for a game lol), I'm dying to get back to Kay & Nix for a heist, that's a pretty good sign.😌

[Thread] You've seen or are about to see Alien Romulus, and you want to take this opportunity to revisit the history of sci-fi. 👋

Here are some of the films that inspired the writers of the 1979 film... #AlienMonth

You should start with Dark Star (1974).

In this film co-written by Alien (1979) co-writer Dan O'Bannon (where he also appears↙️), one of the story beats should ring a bell.

Alien would never have existed without Dark Star.

2/18

Beyond Alien, Dark Star is a milestone in the history of science fiction, as it launched Carpenter's career, which is no mean feat! The film was not a success, but Carpenter went on to make Assault on Precinct 13 (1976). The rest is history.🤗

With two weeks to go before the release of Alien Romulus, I'm starting my Alien rewatch.

And for the first time, I'm starting in the chronological order of this universe.

Welcome to 2093, on LV-223. Image
Iceland, I love you.

Love this shot.

(Ha yes, I don't know if I'll make the live tweet last, but the idea is to highlight stuff I like. I'm not in the habit of wasting my time on stuff I don't like 😌) Image

Please note that Star Trek Prodigy did not invent the concept of "lost kids on a spaceship".

There was The Astronauts (2020). There was Space Cases (1996), with Firefly's Jewel Staite (ans appearances of George Takei & Mark Hamill). There was SpaceCamp (1986).

And these are the ones that come to me from memory, without looking at my notes. There must be other stories, including lots of novels.

Because it's a solid basis for a story in space. What's important is how it's told.

We're building on what's gone before, and.... Image
...that's a good thing.

SpaceCamp, Space Cases, The Astronauts and Prodigy are distinct, and Skeleton Crew probably will be.

Plus, I don't understand why it seems like we learned about it yesterday when we've known about the synopsis for 2 years.
