Startrek and science fiction

I was disappointed when star trek enterprise came to a sudden end. The 3rd season was interesting.. inspite of of the first and second seasons which were lackluster in their performance.
The fourth season was boring. There wasn’t anything interesting… after the Xindi encounter is settled. Having been a trekkie for quite a long time., I’d say that Enterprise was the least popular of all series… except for the arc like third season.. where captain archer and his crew.. track down the aliens ( the xindi) who are going to destroy earth…. after a group of interdimensional species show the xindi. that earth is going to destroy their home world in 400 years.. With the help of a time traveller, Archer ( scott bakula) goes to the future.. where the federation of planets engage the interdimesional beings.. and… tries to convince the…. xindi.. that earth is not going to attack them.. After a lot of drama.. earth “befriends” the aliens in the delphic expanse… which is 2000 light years from earth…

Some of my favorite episodes in Enterprise are:
Carbon creek, Proving ground, The Communicator, Future Tense, First flight, Similitude, Azati prime

The startrek original series is one of the best scifi TV series ever… with interesting theories… or ideas.. Some of my favorite episodes are:

The enemy within, The changeling, Plato’s stepchildren, Squire of gothos, The arena , The omega glory, Where no man has gone before, Mirror Mirror, By any other name, All our yesterdays, Return to tomorrow, Amok Time

Science fiction is an interesting thing.. I think that science.. fiction.. serves as an inspiration for us.. to achieve or invent new things.. although I dont expect rockets which can go at warp speed.. we might disover the secrets of nature in time….. which might help the human civilization to become sophisticated. We might ask questions.. which we would have never thought of asking.. before or after we find any answers in nature..

RV. Film Review

If you’re looking for an updated “National Lampoon’s Vacation” for middle school-aged kids, and you’re not afraid of a predictable plot and potty humor, “RV” is the film for you. It’s the story of a suburban family, including a clueless but lovable dad (Robin Williams), on a “family time” road trip in - you guessed it - a recreational vehicle. Even for fans of Williams’s over-the-top “Mrs. Doubtfire” fare, “RV” delivers only a handful of laughs. A flat character and even flatter lines hardly allow the comedian to be himself (except for the opening tickle-monster scene). Those who prefer more subtle comedy than exploding sewage lines and rabid raccoons will likewise be disappointed. Extras: Details of the many toilet scenes are included in the appropriately named gag reel.

To Kill a Mockingbird

The No. 1 movie hero, according to the American Film Institute, possesses no superpowers, doesn’t wield a lightsaber or mow down the enemy while shouting nifty catch-phrases. In fact, he’s a lawyer, played by Gregory Peck. The Oscar winner brings a deep decency to the role of Atticus Finch, who takes on the case of a black man accused of raping a white woman in 1930s Alabama. The film unfurls through the eyes of Finch’s daughter, Scout, and everything about it, from the opening credits to Robert Duvall in his first screen role, is exceptional. It’s almost as good as Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The set boasts plenty of extras, which tend to become repetitive. But “A Conversation With Gregory Peck” and the documentary “Fearful Symmetry” are both good.
