15 years on Twitter? What am I doing with my life?

I try to read all of the best novel nominees for the Hugos before they are announced, but this year I only managed to get through two of them and am working on the third. Of course, the winner was none of them. At least it's an actual #scifi book. file770.com/2024-hugo-award-…

If they actually make a new #StarTrek TNG movie, I’m hoping they call it Generations II and it co-stars William Shatner. The twist is this time it’s Picard who dies in the Nexus when a bridge falls on top of him. #scifi buff.ly/42qLEh5

Just reading that not only did #StarTrek creator Gene Roddenberry’s ashes end up in the Pacific thanks to that failed lunar mission this week, but so did those of Scotty, Bones and Uhura. Oops. buff.ly/3OaMJU2 #scifi

The #scifi of William Shatner's TekWar franchise may seem dated three decades later, but it was actually ahead of its time. buff.ly/48Y2ndt

With news that Disney is releasing a Mandalorian move in 2025, you've got to wonder who will care about it by then. buff.ly/3HdDsa0 #scifi #starwars

Can an 8-minute edit of Interstellar be as good as the full movie? This is pretty awesome. buff.ly/3RTgjOZ #scifi

Twitter can be a cesspool these days, but it can still delight you.

Excited to hear that Martha Wells’ Murderbot series is being adapted for TV, but a lot of the character's charm comes from his inner monologue. I'm not sure how the screenwriters are going to pull that off. buff.ly/482qWGb

Scientific American has some interesting picks in its recommended #books list for 2023, including a lot of #scifi. buff.ly/3Rx1zqi

If you read @faroutmag, you'd think that 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' was the first #scifi movie to ever win the Best Picture Oscar. That's if you think the love story between a woman and the amphibian man in 'The Shape of Water' makes it a rom com. buff.ly/3NiiBWH

Are you up for watching all of Doctor Who in chronological order? Not by air date, but by the historical sequence of events that happen during the show's long history. buff.ly/3GAIGMZ #doctorwho #scifi

I tried to read all of the Hugo-nominated novels before this year's award was handed out, but only got through three of the six as they were mostly a slog. Of course, a fourth novel took the prize. Maybe it will be an improvement. buff.ly/3Fu4MQq #scifi

Using AI-generated images, this video re-imagines Star Wars as a silent film from 1923. buff.ly/46vD95s #scifi #starwars

Are you ready for the stage version of The Matrix? The one that tells the story through dance? What if I told you it was directed by Danny Boyle? buff.ly/3M53sHw #scifi

Fantasy, as a genre, has been around since the dawn of writing, but fantasy, the publishing category, is a lot more recent and the man we most likely have to blame for it is Lester del Rey. Here's why. buff.ly/45cUmz9 #fantasy

Reading the news that Amazon’s Blade Runner 2099 series will no longer be filmed in Belfast and wondering if it’s one of those TV projects that will be axed because it costs too much. buff.ly/3LPpDBz #scifi

Due to Falling Enrollments, We Will No Longer Offer Courses in Romulan at Starfleet Academy buff.ly/3PzYFP6 #startrek #scifi

Quentin Tarantino's list of favourite #scifi #movies doesn't look like too many other lists of top movies from the genre. buff.ly/3PF7PeM

If 'Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose' is not #1 on this list ranking every episode of'The X-Files, I will be annoyed. buff.ly/3sNSdfM #scifi #xfiles
