We want fresh, new content, original content by the creators.
Feel free to post it on Saturdays. Let the market decide if it's worthy.
Thanks to /u/Turil for pointing out that comments aren't posts. Let me clarify:
The goal is to keep this subreddit as spam free as possible and we all know how easy it is to game the system. To that end, we've restricted self-promotion to Saturdays. No other sub allows any self-promotion unless that's its purpose, but we thought it would be a good, fun thing for our subscribers.
Clear enough? If you're promoting your own original content, even if it's in response to someone's question, then do it via PM.
The alternative is people finding ways around the letter of the rule rather than working for the intent.
Thanks, and GL
Which upcoming 2020 sci-fi works are you looking forward to the most, and why?
As the title says
I remember a show but I can’t remember the name of it.
Each episode was unrelated to the others.
There was one particular episode that went something like this:
The military discovers what appears to be a 19th century farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. There’s an old man, young woman and child who lives there dressed in clothes of that era.
There seems to be some type of force field that surrounds the area and the military can not enter. They can see inside, but the one’s living in the farmhouse seem to be oblivious to their presence.
I believe something was smoking and it drifted inside the force field and both the military and the 19th century old man notices this.
The military begin to shoot ice with some automatic machine at the force field and discover it closes at a certain time for a small duration once a day.
Meanwhile, one of the men on the outside falls in love with the woman and suspects she may have lost her husband since there’s only a small child and no father.
He eventually walks inside the area when the force field is down. He walks up to the woman, and she ends up opening her mouth and it’s revealed that she has long needle like teeth and starts biting away at him.
The force field is back up and the military are helpless to do anything.
Apologies if this comes up way too often, but it just occurred to me that the advent of streaming has sparked a renewed interest in production of quality space opera sci-fi shows.
We now have TWO new Trek shows, a Star WARS show with more expected, Lost in Space for the families, Expanse for the hard sci lovers, Altered Carbon for the neo-noir lovers, and there's even talk of Asimov's Foundation getting a long-form adaptation (with Jared Harris playing Hari Seldon, for extra braingasm).
Is it actually a great time to be a nerd, or has it always been like this and I haven't been paying attention?
I've been reading the Honorverse books for the first time and I'm loving it; I just finished Honor Among Enemies (so no spoilers thereafter please). One thing I was curious about - since all the ships are capital ships having battles as ships of the line or fleets, what's stopped them from having fighter spacecraft in-universe? They have air-breathing jets for training and recreation on planets, but it seems like nobody ever thought about powerful small engines for a craft that could mount one or two missiles, then send them out in squadrons and aim for the vulnerable fore or rear of a ship's impeller wedge?
