    If you take the root of the word fan & i want you to, then maybe you can follow where i i'm coming/going from/to with my review. today, especially when considering the things covered in the 1st few episodes you need to go deep with your grok of the genre. it's metaphor demonstrating the imaginings of universes where humanity is inserted & has to deal with his environment, foreign though it may look/feel there's a human dropped in there who only deal wit they use the situation with the tools his/her humanity has given them. if you are one of those that's wondered things like "why am i here?" or, "what is the/my purpose in life?" then you may have taken it to a more personal/deeper level. i never asked the questions & they used to confuse me but upon this kind of deep meditation/consideration i have come to a place of comfort/understanding re: sci-fi, which is & has become sci-actual. so, i took in all of the stuff presented up to ep. 6 so far. obviously i'm enjoying it. i was pondering symbology & how it is so useful if you can decode it, but also annoying because, what?, i have to learn another communication form? but things today of sci-actual is unearthing long lost worlds and hidden secrets where we need to use or comms skills to decode the symbology of ultimately,us. great venue to see us and finally, to spare us this mr. Cameron names thing easily understandably. re: unobtainium, and a terminator. clear as water, eh?

    I found some of this interesting, some of it a set up for Cameron's Avatar sequels. They concentrate on movies & TV shows from the last 40 years and very little on the literature that bore science-fiction as a genre. This is the tip of the iceberg and showing older movies with effects that the younger generation can't take cause it "looks bad" are out except for some quick clips. Some nice philosophical discussions with directors, writers and actors.

    An exploration into the science fiction genre, with some of the greatest pioneers of the genre. James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Zoe Saldana, Will Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sigourney Weaver and more talk about their experience with Science Fiction in this amazing tv series that made my love for Sci-Fi to go threw the roof even more. Seeing stories about classic films like Alien and E-T and how they were made and how the aliens were created or special effects from classic films like Star Wars and just well known directors and actors talking about things and their experiences on that level. It's beautiful, it's amazing and most of all? It's interesting enough to bring more fans into the genre!!!
