I reallllly like the first book lol just finished the third

Outstanding series of books. Loved the entire series.

The book adaptation and screenplay make much of the film clearer and detailed.

The best military sci-fi is humans vs other humans. Change my mind.

Mistborn is amazing

A funny thing about the first formic war prequel to Ender's game. "Wait, you guy's are alive!? Abort! Abort! Everyone come back home we messed up!"

big boss brock 😂

That nob to the movie Dark Star got a chuckle a like and a follow. Well done, sir.

Pretty sure the whole point of the story is that it’s a “malificent” bait in a sense. In the beginning it appears as this is a sort of victim story. The thing assimilates and sees that as correct based on its alien physiology and psychology. Communion as in the name “communal” is good, and if you’re a sane human, you know working together is always better than the alternative. It doesn’t understand human minds and hearts as it’s talk in Keith Richard’s body (I believe) with Keith Richard’s consciousness shows how it doesn’t understand the anger of how Richard’s perceived that the creature had “raped” his sense of self and being. Nonetheless, this is still not a typical tragic villain killing out of survival by the end of the story. Look at how Watt’s narrates it’s talks about the physicality of humans. It looks on their physical aspects with pity and wants to somewhat lend a helping hand, but when it comes to how humans live/act, well, it comes to hate that aspect of us and that final line in the story becomes the scariest not just because it’s the thing being malicious, but also the very real fear that when someone becomes hateful like that they too become a monster.

Only problem i had with it, not enough roland

Jarring to watch ? I think you miss a whole load of IQ There may be something TOS is bad but Jarring is not one of them

One of these days I'll dip into WH40K with Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!

One thing about Star Trek: TNG -- it only starts to get good around the end of Season 2, with "The Best of Both Worlds"

Bro got sold on the end

David Weber's Honor Harrington universe; Jerry Pournelle's CoDominion universe; the Imperium of the Traveller universe; the alternate Earth in the Destroyermen series; David Drake's HAmmers Slammers universe (similar in many ways to the CoDominion) and his With the Lightnings universe...so many to choose from! That said, for extent and breadth, 40K really has it all.

Good choices💀

Cradle's lore isn't that good. It's barely decent.

Your spelling is poor.

Imagine sayians frok dbz living in warhammer the verse is screwed alos frieza in warhammer 40k would be badass

Great presentation of my favourites

18:35 into the film prophetic and replica for "Gatling Gun up to Ezekiel 48:35 Lightning Jet."

Shh I'm sleeping ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

when I was 8 my brother was mocking me for reading children's books, so i asked my dad what "the best book in the world" was and he gave me LotR. took me a year to get through, but I've been a fan ever since

Sledge is slept on

The Thing is similar to fungi. It is trying expanding itself. It is also a life form just like humans. It is trying to survive by being a parasite. So are human beings.

i hate these fucking books so much they are so boring and are filled with way too much unnecessary background info and dialogue

Barely any dragons but 400+ pages explaining the staff of the castle and their positions

The shadow of Mordor games are amazing and completely underrated

Murder by the Book is just an awesome shop name. 😎 Awesome video! Look forward to more bookish vlogs. Also, just wanted to mention for the store that didn't allow you to film, I've heard other bookvloggers say to call ahead and ask and let them know what you're filming for will sometimes help.

If the galactic is as large as it seems to be, inevitably we will meet an alien race so foreign and alien that they share not single similarity with our morality. Then we must destroy them because the two races are simply incompatible, and the existence of one threatens the other fundamentally.

Drafting only the smartest people and sending them to war against their will seems like a fast trek to mutiny and outright revolution. They might be the most capable to fight your enemies, but also the most capable to fight you.

Pournelle's series "There Will Be War" is still a classic

ALIEN '79/THE THING ‘82 share the Thron as two of the best Body-Horror/Science fiction ever made.🎥🎞🎬👍✌️😝🚀🚀🥁🥁

If you want to see some great Sci-fi that handles the psychology of war. You need to start watching anime.

As many have pointed out, John Carpenter's version of The Thing film is a masterclass in horror storytelling. He made sure to point out that the creature's long-term motivations could only be hinted at, and even then, it's never fully defined. This keeps us, the audience, wondering up until and beyond the very last scene of the film, which has a bittersweet ending. This was his whole point, and history of the creature itself was not really important. However, I disagree with any idea that the creature is "just misunderstood". Given what little we know about it, it has the ability to aggressively assimilate other beings into its collective, gleaning even thoughts and memories from its victims. The latter concept would seem to indicate that it would come to understand human emotions, including fear and paranoia, and be able to ascertain the human ideas of right and wrong. That being the case, if it had any 'good' morality to its makeup, it would not try to assimilate everyone, spreading terror and misery in the process. Instead, it uses what it learns to its advantage against the humans, destroying or absorbing them all until none stand to oppose its unfathomable goals. To me, this theory places the creature firmly in the spectrum of hostile and extremely dangerous to all other lifeforms. Even if its initial meeting with the Norwegians was peaceful (we're given some indication that it was not), I doubt that the story would have played out much differently. The 'Things' story is told mostly from the creature's perspective, and it still comes to the conclusion that basically humans must be assimilated to save them from themselves, whether they resist or not. I would not consider this as a 'good' moral decision in any case.

The thing, it will kick your ass...

Hey Tyler here (not the guy in the video) just wanted to add a few notes here: -this video is NOT sponsored. Idk why kindle would ever sponsor such a small channel but the first ten seconds is just a little joke, not an ad. -if you search for used kindles around Christmas time you can get them even cheaper. I got mine refurbished for 35$ (not a paper white tho just the basic one) -standard pop socket also works well as a hand holder -kindle unlimited is not required to use the kindle. Just an add on to access their “free” library. Still a great deal imo -standard charge lasts about a week with heavy reading -if you own a book on audible you receive an even bigger discount if you later but the kindle version Thanks for watching!

Do a thug shaker review w/ demonstration

btw AoT does use inner monologues from time to time, but they decrease in frequency as the show goes on.

That guy who got promoted over Darth Vader and bullied and humiliated him but got killed by him once Darth got promoted back over him again? If I ever got promoted over Darth Vader I would STILL treat him really well and basically do whatever he wants even if I technically outrank him so that he will never want to kill me.

One of the (many) things I like about Carpenter's Thing is that it doesn't attempt to explain _every_ facet of the monster, but instead, portrays the monster as something so far beyond our comprehension that it could never be fully understood over the limited time frame that the characters encounter it. The movie even leaves open when and how the characters become assimilated by the monster.

Correction: In Enders Game the buggers struck first- so the humans had a perfectly reasonable idea that they wanted to wipe them out. Now later in the book we do get a prophetic idea that it was a misunderstanding; however, they still murdered millions of humans in their initial invasion- so the Humans a. could not have known what would have later been known and b. had every reason to kill them before they killed us since their initial contact was to massacre humans.

I was watching your videos and I wanted to ask you, have you read the HFY subreddit? It was recommended to me recently and I found very good authors (some not so much) do you have any opinion about it? I would like to see a video of yours on the subject. Thank you in advance, and very good content, I already subscribed.

There was a deleted scene from the movie where one of the base members tries to make a break by snowmobile, but is ambushed by the Thing as it bursts through the ice he is riding on and kills him. John Carpenter made the decision to scrap the scene, noting that the Thing was not malevolent, rather being a creature fighting to survive in a hostile environment.

"Time" doesn't "move slower".... "time" moves always at the same speed. what you call "time", is actually *the whole of you and your space frame* and that's because "time" is the sum of chemistry and physics: *PARTICLES,* _matter,_ colliding with one another to react. if your whole space frame is going at the speed of light, then everything IN it is going at the speed of light, down to and including the next particle in the chain, to complete the reaction. when the whole thing runs away from you at the same speed, you never catch up, reaction doesn't happen, chemistry doesn't happen, cells don't age, you don't age, the engine doesn't rust, fuel doesn't combust,.... NOTHING happens. that's why "it requires more energy to make the reaction happen": when you go at the speed of light, there's no way to pump fuel backwards _faster than the speed of light_ towards the engine, to increase speed. year 2023 and people still can't understand the meaning of time. looking real bleak for this _science_ fiction, if you don't understand the _science_ behind it.

Similar to how people from New York are called something something York something instead of New something, so should be creatures from Tau Ceti be called Ceti something, not Tau.
