The Mandalorian

I have been reading Star Wars books, magazines, and comics after it was first published in Readers Digest. I imagine that many did not know that Star Wars came out in Readers Digest before the book (I think). I was a teenager and enjoyed Readers Digest. At the time I did not see Star Wars as a fantasy space opera, I saw it as hardcore science fiction. I am an Avid Reader of hardcore science-fiction. As of today, I no longer see Star Wars as hard science fiction. I see it more like fantasy. And I do have mixed feelings about fantasy construed as science fiction. The more Star Wars has evolved over the years the more I consider it to be a fantasy; fantasy while entertaining is not science fiction. When Disney acquired the rights to Star Wars well... it definitely killed what little of Science Fiction remained. Most of Disney's Movies rolls into mysticism. The Mandalorian series ran by Disney proves my point.

Is the Mandalorian a good series? I think so. Is it science fiction? Take out the tech gadgets like landspeeders and rocket ships, droids, and space crafts and replace them with horses, sailing ships, different lands, and different islands on the same planet, and you basically end up with an Arthurian, medieval quest similar to Lord of The Rings. Will I see season 2 of The Mandalorian? If there is not any hardcore science fiction on Netflix or Amazon Prime...Maybe... If I want to see Fantasy.

In the meantime have a great day!

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad...

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may ...

Elon Musk Neuralink

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. Th...
