Story of Science Fiction

I found some of this interesting, some of it a set up for Cameron's Avatar sequels. They concentrate on movies & TV shows from the last 40 years and very little on the literature that bore science-fiction as a genre. This is the tip of the iceberg and showing older movies with effects that the younger generation can't take cause it "looks bad" are out except for some quick clips. Some nice philosophical discussions with directors, writers and actors.

If you have Spielberg, Lucas, Ridley Scott etc for interviews and ask them questions, you let them finish, but no, James HAD to constantly interrupt, which was so annoying.

The series interviews a bunch of people, so the previews of him sitting down with other directors and interviewing them is misleading. You get very little of these iconic directors interview, especially with the interrupting it makes it even worse. Nicely shot and some interesting stories, but overall nothing new and again, Cameron needed to the them speak and finish.

I love that every theme has its own take and mythology depending on the creator. It's such a great series and they talk about so many things worth giving them a look, like movies, books and series.

If you take the root of the word fan & i want you to, then maybe you can follow where i i'm coming/going from/to with my review. today, especially when considering the things covered in the 1st few episodes you need to go deep with your grok of the genre. it's metaphor demonstrating the imaginings of universes where humanity is inserted & has to deal with his environment, foreign though it may look/feel there's a human dropped in there who only deal wit they use the situation with the tools his/her humanity has given them. if you are one of those that's wondered things like "why am i here?" or, "what is the/my purpose in life?" then you may have taken it to a more personal/deeper level. i never asked the questions & they used to confuse me but upon this kind of deep meditation/consideration i have come to a place of comfort/understanding re: sci-fi, which is & has become sci-actual. so, i took in all of the stuff presented up to ep. 6 so far. obviously i'm enjoying it. i was pondering symbology & how it is so useful if you can decode it, but also annoying because, what?, i have to learn another communication form? but things today of sci-actual is unearthing long lost worlds and hidden secrets where we need to use or comms skills to decode the symbology of ultimately,us. great venue to see us and finally, to spare us this mr. Cameron names thing easily understandably. re: unobtainium, and a terminator. clear as water, eh?

My title says enough about the show.

But most important thing for creating scifi is idea. Without idea there will be no inspiration.

Same thing is with this show. If J. Cameron didnt have idea and inspiration for this, we wouldnt be able to watch this.

Also thanks to everyone who participated in this show and helped us who would like to make some scifi one day.
