Forbidden Plantet Blog #7

I liked the Forbidden Planet and thought it was a good thing to show for science fiction. All the things like their spaceship and this planet that has Earth like attributes. Especially the doctors robot Robby. There was extrapolation when the Robby could just get a sample of a type of food and make it then any time he wanted. But throughout the movie I had a weird feeling about the doctor and what he was up to. I wondered why he first told the caption to not land on the planet but then he was quite welcoming when the ship mates went to the doctors house. I think that the doctor wants something out of them but I cant figure out what. I did enjoy the movie and wanted to see how it ended.

Sales Pitch Blog #4

I liked how the ending kept you hanging with not knowing what one died. It seemed as though Morris thought that the fasrad was going to kill him. I think Morris just got fed up in general about all robots trying to replace everything, always selling them something and trying to get his attention. I think this has to do with science fiction because fasrad did a lot of things a normal human would do. He was also different than the rest of the robots in town. I didn't really like how the ending had Morris going a little crazy and drifting off into places i couldn't picture. It was hard to imagine what was going on. Fasrad seemed to be just the thing that pushed Morris over the edge.

Homelanding and Cause and Effect

Homelanding
In Homelanding, there were many things that had to do with science fiction. One paragraph that stood out to me was when she was talking about how they look and all the things that went into its description. But there was also things that could relate back to humans such as, " The things I eat include roots, berries, nuts, fruits, leaves, and the muscle tissue of various animals and fish." This also makes me think that these creatures are intelligent. This piece was a good intro to science fiction because I feel in science fiction there are many elements that make something that's not possible, possible. I enjoyed this piece and it put good images in my head. I could picture everything that Margret was trying to portray. In Star Trek, the element that created science fiction was how they were stuck in a force field that was repeating time. Their outfits also predicted what space people would wear. I didn't enjoy this episode very much because it got annoying when it repeated itself. It was interesting to see all the things that would change from scene to scene but overall it was just alright. It did hold op to the science fiction theory creating a good spacecraft and elements that were cool.

Introduction Dani G

My name is Dani, I love to draw and express myself in a creative way. I also enjoy taking walks only when its warm and scootering through the leaves in the fall. I enjoy swimming when i get the chance. I work at Mellow Mushroom and Jimmy Johns and enjoy doing activities with me co-workers. I like to go see movies, my favorite are comedy. My favorite color is pink but some days it turns to other colors depending on my mood.

My favorite science fiction memory was watching Mars Attacks when I was younger. I would watch that movie all the time and I still never get sick of it. My favorite part was the beginning when all the cows were on fire. Not that I have something against cows but it was the coolest thing I had seen so far for starting out a movie.

Science Fiction to me is creativity and ideas evolving into stories that feel real. I feel that there are so many nonrealistic things created into something that feels like it could actually happen in reality.
