The Incredible Hulk was the highlight of my week. It ran from 1977 until 1982, so the Hulk must have been the most important thing in the world, at least until He-Man, GI Joe, and The Transformers took over during the following years. This show was crazy interesting! Dr. David Banner (as opposed to Bruce Banner in the comics) is exposed to dangerous gamma radiation—they call it an accidental overdose, which is kind of silly, since there’s no such thing as a “proper dose” of gamma radiation.

Welcome to Sci-Friday, a collective endeavor to share science fiction recommendations each week. More than 20 folks have participated so far, and I’ll leave some links at the bottom of this post so you can find their work, too (I myself have gotten some excellent ideas for stuff to watch or read every week).

Welcome to Sci-Friday, a weekly ritual whereby a bunch of authors share their “top five” lists of science fiction whatevers, be they movies, TV shows, games… whatever. Today, I’m going to give you my top five dogs I’ve known who have heads that look like spaceships. These little angels are near and dear to my heart, and I want to share some of their backstory with you today.

Welcome back to another Sci-Friday, folks! For those new to the series, Sci-Friday is an excuse for me to talk about science fiction once a week. Sometimes it’s shows or movies, but this week I wanted to dive into five books that had a profound impact on me. Some of these books really expanded my horizon—gave me an idea that something was possible that I had previously considered outside of my reach. Others expanded my imagination, and helped me learn how to think.

Friends, I’ve always enjoyed science fiction movies and books. Today, I wanted to simply present a list of dystopian sci-fi films. Why focus on the negative side? In short, I believe one of the best attributes of science fiction is the cautionary tale, the idea that we might be able to present a potentially terrifying future scenario so that we can avoid ending up there.
