Story line
The title is pretty much misleading, or just incorrect. It starts with some famous actors and is focused on SF movies and TV serials, in 98% time approx. From 4 announced corners (Robots, Space, Invasion, Time travel) I seen so far first 2. There were some interesting fact mentioned, like influence of movie Silent Runner on George Lucas and Star Wars. But in Robot episode there was really little talk about SF literature. Of course, they cited Asimov's 3 laws of Robotic - but what about European writers ? Little better was at start of Space episode - at least they mentioned Verne, Wells .. Still, literature was just marginally touched. It is shame, especially as right at start was said that history of SF is history of imagination. Watching movies is not imagination. Reading books is. But it seems that nowadays it gets forgotten. What's that WH in summary - Western Hemisphere :-) There were some nice movies, TV serials made in EU - completely ignored.
