The Difference Between Fantasy and Science Fiction
If you click your heels together three times and say there's no place like home, and that gets you across the universe, that's fantasy. If you click your heels together three times, and the spark that results touches a vulnerable spot in the space-time continuum that causes a wormhole to open, and you travel across the universe that way, that's science fiction.

Colony 2.1: Prelude

A couple of general impressions: Colony now feels a little like FlashForward (cars suddenly stopping when the aliens arrive), Lost (prelude flashback), and even Fear the Walking Dead (the dawn of apocalypse). All of that of course makes sense - especially given that star power from Lost (Josh Holloway) and The Walking Dead (Sarah Wayne Callies, not Fear the Walking Dead, buy close enough) are in Colony.
Colony was also a successor, from day one, to Falling Skies and its alien invasion, except we never saw the aliens per se in the first season. Now we finally get to see ... well, not quite the aliens, but more of their ships and hardware. We did see a big tall something, but it's not clear if that's an alien, robot, or even a tall co-opted human.
The prelude was generally satisfying, though - and, like everything else these days, like The Man in the High Castle, especially disquieting because ... you know why, look at who's set to be sworn in as President next week. So Trump has had the unintended benefit of giving any show about a near-future or alternate history totalitarian state in the US a little more of an edge than it otherwise would have had.
But this first episode of the second has set the board nicely, and put the pieces in motion. The first season had lots of potential, only some of which was realized. I get the feeling that the second season will do better, and I'm looking forward to it.

Vikings 4.17: Ivar's Wheels

The best scene was Ivar riding the one-horse chariot Floki made for him, at Ivar's request. He didn't quite get the chance to dispatch Lagertha - thanks to another great scene, with Bjorn arriving just in the nick of time. But Ivar gets to have wheels - and wings, as Floki says - after Ivar comes to Floki with his request. It was a very satisfying, high-point conversation, not just for Ivar but Floki, who has been yearning to do something really useful, if for not Ragnar, than for the most extraordinary of his sons.
Ivar and Floki have a lot in common. They're both outsiders, Ivar for physical reasons, Floki for well, mental reasons, and this makes the alliance between them very appropriate. I hope it's not the last we see of Floki.
But speaking of lasts, what a wonderful farewell scene between Bjorn and Rollo, followed with Rollo back with his royal family in Paris. The Vikings so far have not taken Paris - except, in a sense, via Rollo by marriage. But the French beat all of the Vikings the first time, and they did the same second time, when the French had the benefit of Rollo's guidance and valor. But the Vikings did come razor close - and we can understand fully Bjorn's statement to Rollo that Bjorn would have to kill Rollo if he stayed with his Viking people. Or, at least, try to kill Rollo, because I'm not convinced who would win such a one-on-one battle.
I am convinced that the Vikings are set to do real damage to at least some of England's royalty. But that's a story for next week, when I'll be back with another review.

Frequency 1.11: The Unkilling

We left Raimy last week having just killed the Nightingale serial killer - something she could afford to do, in front of everyone, just for the understandable satisfaction she was giving into, because she believed her father Frank was going to kill, or was in the process of killing, the Nightingale 20 years earlier, before the Nightingale had a chance to kill Julie, Raimy's mother.
But fate intervened in the form of a drunk diver, who t-boned Frank's car, which allowed the Nightgale to escape.
The aftermath and its resolution - temporary resolution, of course, since there are still two remaining episodes - was handled very well tonight. Raimy is on the verge of being charged with murder, until something changes - she didn't kill the Nightingale after all in 2016, because he wasn't where he was last week in 2016. Frank did something in the past to change that. The scene in which the new reality seeps in for Raimy had a fine mix of calm and shocking, all at once.
Unfortunately for Frank and Raimy - but fortunately for the continuing story - that didn't kill the Nightingale in 1996. In another good scene, Julie pleads with Frank not kill the Nightingale - stressing what it would do to young Raimy, to see her father charged with murder, ironic indeed since Raimy in 2016 has been driving Frank in 1996 in this whole story to kill the Nightingale. But Frank comes through, surprisingly well, and gets the Nightingale arrested. Not as safe for Julie as the Nightingale dead, but it gets Frank back in the arms of Julie at home.
And there's also a satisfying rapprochement between Frank and Satch, making this episode one of the best for our people getting together.
Only two more episodes left - unless someone does something to our timeline which results in Frequency being picked up for a second season somewhere. Hey, I love time travel, so can always hope.

The Perversity of Things: review #7 of X: The Invention of Invention and the Advent of Science Fiction
Continuing with my reviews (#7 of X) of The Perversity of Things: Hugo Gernsback on Media, Tinkering, and Scientifiction, edited by Grant Wythoff (University of Minnesota Press, 2016) - which will be less frequent now, given the end of the winter break, but focusing here on pages 46-51 of Wythoff's remarkable 59-page Introduction to the 359-page volume.
Wythoff in these pages focuses on Gernback's contribution to the very way in which we conceive of invention - where what we today call new media come from, and what is the best environment, or the social structure most conducive, for these seedling inventions to develop into useful technologies.
I'd make two points here. One is that it can't be coincidental that Alfred North Whitehead, in his Science and the Modern World, observes that the most important invention of the late 19th century and the aptly-named Age of Invention was "the invention of invention" itself - or the very notion that human beings could create technologies that didn't already exist to do useful things - like talk to people who were miles away from us, move in automated vehicles, etc. Whitehead published that book in 1925, right around the time that Gernsback was holding forth with similar ideas, which in effect proves the point: invention was in the air, not just in flying vehicles, but as a concept in everyone's minds.
Gernsback goes further, as we've seen earlier, and identifies the ideal inventor as a tinkerer not a corporate employee. And he also goes further in considering the best circumstances for the invention to get into the mainstream - or, in terms of the Toy, Mirror, and Art schema I mentioned in my previous review, what is needed to jumpstart the new gimmick into widespread, practical use.
Wythoff then segues into another aspect of Gernsback's work, which is especially close to my heart (though actually most are), and is of course what most people associate with Gernsback: science fiction. Wythoff's brief, and I agree, is not at all that this association is incorrect, but it is incomplete - because Gernback is far more than a pioneering publisher of short science fiction. He's also a philosopher of technology, of considerable importance.
But Gernback's contribution to the birth and growth of that genre (short-form science fiction) was indeed enormous - and, unsurprisingly, idiosyncratic. Wythoff observes that, in Gernsback's Amazing Stories and other science fiction publications, the process of invention was more prominent than the characters who did and reacted to the invention. This spotlight on science over character stayed with science fiction for at least half a century, and still characterizes the leading science fiction magazine, Analog, which published 15 of my stories and 2 essays between 1995-2013 ("The Chronology Protection Case," "Loose Ends," and "The Orchard" are the best-known - see this list for details).
Indeed, Analog far more than Amazing Stories carried and still carries the mantel that Gernsback built for the science fiction magazine, and magazines in general, including an active, critiquing, tinkering readership. But I'll leave that story for subsequent reviews of The Perversity of Things.

Fauda: Beyond Homeland

It's posted one season so far - 12 episodes, each only a half an hour in length - from 2015 in Israel, and it's now streaming on Netflix, and those episodes pack more of a punch than anything similar I've seen on television. It's the story of an Israeli special forces undercover team, battling terrorists in the Palestinian territory, with dialog in Hebrew and Arabic, and English subtitles.
There are all kinds of twists and turns in the plot, and I don't want to spoil any of that for you, so I'll focus on the other highlights. Characters on both sides are complex, multi-faceted, and believable. Family life and love affairs play significant roles, with especially astute portrayal of children in both Israeli and Palestinian families. There's room for humor, as when an agent on a crucial mission has all he can do not to kill a taxi driver droning on about why he gave up cigarettes (with a punchline of the cabbie bumming a smoke off the agent at the end). The hierarchies of political and operational command unfold with subtlety and power.
As is always the case with these kinds of dramas, which are as thoughtful as they are violent, the question is to what extent a tough undercover unit can oppose and extinguish a terrorist operation without becoming terrorists, or adopting some of the terrorists tactics, themselves. With death literally at hand in just about every scene, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Lior Raz is both co-creator and plays a lead role, and his performance is superb. So is every other performance in Fauda. Strap yourself in for a six-hour ride that will open your eyes and give you new understanding of a conflict that so desperately needs resolution, yearned for by almost everyone, or indeed by everyone but in different ways.

The Affair 3.7: The White Shirt

But what about the scene earlier, in which the doc is wearing a white shirt in Noah's version, and a shirt of a different color in Helen's? We've seen differences like that before in versions of our characters' accounts, and that's what doesn't make too much sense.
Again, I get completely why characters would leave this out that part out of their accounts. I of course get why a given character would seem more flirtatious in one account - as Helen did in Noah's account - in contrast to how she appeared in Helen's. Along with that, we've seen Alison's clothes looking sexier - the same clothes looking more provocative - in Noah's account, in contrast to Alison's, more than once in previous episodes and seasons. All of that makes good sense in this story.
But literally different clothing? When Noah sees the white shirt, he's seeing, what? The doc is more formally a doctor in his account than in Helen's? I guess so.
At the same time, Noah's hallucinations are becoming an increasingly bigger player as this season progresses. It occurred to me that maybe even some or all of what Noah is remembering about what happened in prison happened more in his mind than to his body.
Which gets us back to who caused the wound in his neck? We don't even know for sure that the pain he's feeling in his shoulder is real - but the wound, in contrast, is seen by everyone.
So, who caused it? It would cool is the white shirt was some sort of metaphorical clue. But it's probably ... just a white shirt.

The Perversity of Things: review #6 of X: Thought Experiments and Toys
Continuing with my review (#6 of X) of The Perversity of Things: Hugo Gernsback on Media, Tinkering, and Scientifiction, edited by Grant Wythoff (University of Minnesota Press, 2016) - focusing now on pages 37-45 of Wythoff's rich 59-page Introduction to the 359-page volume.
Thought experiments have had a long and noble history in the evolution of human knowledge, ranging from Leonardo's sketches for devices that were not quite capable of being invented in his time, to Schrödinger's cat about quantum mechanics in our macro world which could never be implemented in actual reality. Gernsback loved all modes of thought about what technology could accomplish, but as Wythoff details, Gernsback was unsurprisingly more like Leonardo than a quantum physicist. Indeed, he favored more than sketches, and wanted writing in his magazines about devices that actually could be built, if often not quite performing as hoped or advertised.
Wythoff, much to my delight, has a quote from Gernsback about the first expressions of new technologies functioning as "toys". You want to know why I think this is such a great book? My first major, published article, reprinted half a dozen times, is entitled "Toy, Mirror and Art: The Metamorphosis of Technological Culture," which first appeared in 1977. Here's a link to a penultimate version, reprinted a decade later. (I owe it another update, and will definitely put in a mention of Gernsback, with thanks and citation of Wythoff.)
The question with the technological toy is whether it will be developed any further. One of the fascinating tidbits of history I did discover when I was researching TMA in 1976 was William Orton, President of Western Union Telegraph in 1881, who advised his hapless friend Chauncey Depew not to invest in Bell Telephone back then, five years after the telephone was invented, because it would never be more than a "scientific toy". (How hapless was Depew? He was encouraged to run as a Republican against incumbent Democratic President Grover Cleveland in 1888 but declined because he thought Cleveland was unbeatable. Republican Benjamin Harrison went on to win the electoral vote that year.)
Gernsback, of course, was keenly interested in developing toys into usable, revolutionary technologies. Wythoff shows how often Gernsback failed in his immediate future. But the backdrop of reading The Perversity of Things is how often Gernsback succeeded in the long run. His remote-controlled wireless Telimco didn't do much in the early 20th century - but as soon as I post this review I'm going to catch up with my latest series streaming on Netflix, without leaving my chair, unless I want another cup of tea.
And at some point after that, I'll be back my the next is my series of reviews of The Perversity of Things.

Spectral: What Done It

Whodunnits are the stock-in-trade of mystery and detective stories. What-done-its move into the realm of science fiction, where the key to the narrative is discovering what kind of being or process is responsible for the killing or whatever nefarious events.
In Spectral, those events are top-notch soldiers being killed by a mysterious force or entity in central Europe. An American scientist is rushed over there to provide an assessment and a solution.
Spectral does a nice job of gradually unpacking and developing this story, The supernatural explanation - highlighted in promos for the movie - turns out not to be the case. The spectral entities are deliberate creations of the Central European power that our operatives are fighting. In the end, there are elements of everything from artificial demons to the Matrix in this mix.
In an interesting departure from the Golden Age B horror movies which Spectral recalls, we have some better-than-expected star power on the screen, with James Badge Dale (The Departed) and Emily Mortimer (The Newsroom) as scientists, and Max Martini (The Unit), Clayne Crawford (Rectify), and Bruce Greenwood (everything) in various military roles.
Hey, not a bad way to spend an hour and three quarters.

Bones 12.1: Back in Business

Episode 12.1 made an excellent start to this long goodbye. Zack Addy was always my favorite intern - by a mile - and that''s not because the current crop of interns, most of whom have been around now for years, aren't impressive and formidable. But Zack was something else - a true phenomenon in his own right, and the only intern ever truly worthy of Bones the character and Bones the show.
This episode provided a doubly welcome punch for Zack. Not only do we learn that he was trying to hurt not help Bones with his extra-curricular (i.e., out-of-asylum) activities, he didn't belong there in the first place. He's not a killer!
He even went so far as to do his best to help Hodgins from afar, giving him hope that he could regain use of his legs. The big downer in 12.1 was that this help and hope was 99% illusory, designed to make Hodgins feel better, with just a 1-percent chance of actually succeeding.
Hey, I'm an optimist, and I still want to see Hodgins walking again before the series concludes. Look, I get that there are some things that can't be done. We can't bring Sweets back to life, much as I'd to see that happen, too (and it was good to see Zack talk about Sweets). But while there's life there's hope, and Hodgins is still alive. And a 1-percent chance isn't a zero chance, so I'm going to keep holding out hope that this will happen.
For that, and many other reasons, I'm looking forward to rest of this season, as much as I wish it wasn't the end.
