Science Fiction: Parallel Narratives

This evening, Nygel, Ali and I at Art Questor's 64th birthday pArty. Also present, Chris Gregory, author of:

Star Trek: Parallel Narratives
The Prisoner: Be Seeing You
Who Could Ask For More: Reclaiming The Beatles

Topics of conversation:

Dune screen adaptations;
Star Wars;
Star Trek;
Doctor Who;
Poul Anderson Appreciation;
mundane cultural phenomena.

Unspoken by me - Poul Anderson wrote:

better time travel than Doctor Who;
better interstellar empires than Dune or Star Wars;
better interstellar exploration than Star Trek.

Read Anderson's Time Patrol, Star Ways (written earlier), Starfarers and  Rise Of The Terran Empire.

Glory to the Emperor!
