Bonus :)
Because Citizen Sleeper mixes clever game design, beautiful art direction, good story and important topics.

Tiny review:
Because The Expanse was the best space show of the last decade and I mourn the not-adapted last (Laconia) act.

Because Andor... Well, Andor!

"Oppression is the mask of fear."

Because IXION is my old dream: a resource management game with a survival story in space.

Complete review:

Because For All Mankind tells a fascinating alt-history, with lots of space scenes, lots of dramas and characters I care about.

Hi bob!
Because Opus: Echo of Starsong is a moving and fresh story across the stars.

Review:
Because Red Matter 2 is a beautiful VR game, and I thought I was really doing a secret mission into space.

I should finish the review lol :
Because Prey shows how to use an old IP to make something different.

Not released this year, but I could add Outer Wilds, I replayed it recently, and it is simply one of my fav games EVER.

And the good old Planetes. It was the first time I read the manga. Great story.

I want to add Star Trek: Lower Decks S3, but I'm only halfway there :)
My favorite games of this year are in this list, but the TV series are not.

All genres combined, I loved
I only went to the movies 4 times (Minions 2, Spider-Man 49), 5 soon with Avatar 2.

Matt Reeves' The Batman was awesome but I particularly loved
I'm also halfway into Subnautica: Below Zero. I'm sure it would be on my list ;)

We all have different tastes and opinions, it's completely normal and even great. IDIC.

But if you're ever going to love something I recommend, please let me know. It's always a pleasure to know.

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.

I don't know how anyone with an account like mine will manage in 20 or 50 years.

For decades, the Internet was an incredible research tool. Of course, information had to be checked and cross-checked, but it was like a global library.

With the rise of AI, everything changed. Image
In less than 2 years, I've seen a flood of fake concept art and illustrations by great artists. Fake or altered Moebius or Foss art. I've seen fake production images. I've seen articles in the form of bad syntheses of poorly digested information.
Now I'm mostly relying solely on my own archives and books published before 2023. Anything I find since last summer I put in a separate directory (unless I'm sure of the source).

People born 20 years from now will arrive in a world where the truth will be way harder to find.

[Thread] Farscape fans, to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary today, several interviews have been published.

Find them in this thread, along with the hope for a revival. 🤞

1/15

Showrunner Rockne O'Bannon: "Looking back, there's been a lot of conjecture about bringing..." Image
"...the show back which I'd love to do. Brian [Henson] and I have been talking about that at length for quite a while. And even though we would love to have gotten it going sooner, there's actually something to be said about having had a 25 year gap. It's not something you..." Image
"...would ever plan to do. But I think it's potentially a real advantage in that there is such a span of time that the characters could have grown and other things could have happened."

"The Uncharted Territory, where the series takes place, is truly wildly expansive..." Image

[Thread] Star Trek Into Darkness (2013): The office of Admiral Alexander Marcus and a history of (space) flight

The production design of this unloved film is nice. For example, this office contains a number of ship models (including the villain's secret ship👌). Image
A history of space flight by Admiral Alexander Marcus:


Image
Image
Image
Image
Created by Quantum Mechanix's artisan prop and model shop, @QMxInsider FX Cinema Arts, these 14 models were made of mixed media including resin and plastic.

It took a team of six model makers about two months to create this history of spaceflight miniatures. Image

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (LucasArts) was released 26 years ago today.

And since we won't have a Star Wars TV show for a while, why not (re)discover the adventures of Kyle Katarn? Let's get on with the Valley of the Jedi quest.

1/22 Image
The story begins one year after the fall of Emperor Palpatine, when a group of Dark Jedi, searching for the location of the legendary Valley of the Jedi, capture Qu Rahn, a Jedi Master...

2/22
But it's on Nar Shaddaa that we find Kyle Katarn (Jason Court), hero of Dark Forces (1995), who is trying to find out more about his father's death from an information broker droid, 8t88.

This dive into the city was fantastic for its time.
