based in space or another plannet with futuristic technology. it also must be based on moral stories. and how humans have become so good and have to destroy the evil oppresive enemy who want to enslave everyone.

Any spelling mistakes are totally In tensional.

Read "Ender's Game", Orson Scott Card (And the rest of the series)


I don't know what has become of the screenplay but...

In the right hands it could make a great movie.
In fact, it could also make an excellent game.

Ray Bradbury makes sci-fi great. As does Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke, and Isaac Asimov.

Indeed, although my dad didn't like it.

I also like :

Star Trek; Star Wars; Babylon 5 (although not so much); Dark Skies; Space:Above & Beyond; Quantum Leap; I, Robot and many more (including Doctor Who).

YOUR a fan of Doctor Who? Never!

I kind of like the cyberpunk genre which is like a subgenre of science fiction.

I think Spidyfan is actually a forumBot created by Rich to ask interesting one line questions every now again when the topics start to get a little boring And what I reckon makes Sci-fi great is what I just said. Basically an almost limitless universe of cool ideas for the imagination. Stick that in your AI subroutines you forumBot you

How about "What makes round objects so fun?". Bit more like it.... Or "Why are women so nicely squishy?". "How does beer make you have a great time? (plus lose all bodily control)" is also a top one. Add these to the AI database please Rich...

Because during the life time of the universe a small planet that is third from the star sol in the solar system was created. after a long time a life form formed and later evolved into the dinosaurs after a mass extinction, which is still debated about 60 million years in the future, humans began to communicate through body language and noises but something happened a standardised noise system was formed by someone so the Romans robbed the idea thinking they can do things better so they started on there jorney in to the world of the alphabet

Or

because it is in alphabetic order

What is the sound of one programmer programming ?
If a programmer should die in the middle of a wood, and there is no-one to see the event, does he make a sound ?

Gotta love it

What is so super-duper about a small cottage in devon that fails to conform with the government standard regulations (E119.25F) concerning the keeping of more than one shed in the attic region of the third bedroom during the third solstice of the dark lord (when blood will rain from the skies in the land of the fey) and the union of the giant Ryyanuks from Alpha-Marioqer 2 that are only taking over the planet because they need the water? Well?....
