Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction. Friday, 8 August 2014. The secret of science fiction, said H. G. Wells, one of the founders of the genre, is the suspension of disbelief. The writer must introduce something incredible into the real world, but after that, everything flows logically from it. If the whole story is fantastic, it will not be accepted. But if just one item is, then readers are capable of suspending their disbelief. King Kong, Dragons, and the Tyranny of Size. Why very b...

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction: Machines Cannot Think or Feel

http://www.malcolmsscifi.blogspot.com/2014/08/machines-cannot-think-or-feel.html

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction. Saturday, 2 August 2014. Machines Cannot Think or Feel. I hear you've been bothered by bad dreams," says the nurse to the patient. Does that sound right? Would you use the word, "bothered" under such circumstances? Wouldn't "troubled" or "disturbed" be more appropriate? In any case, can you explain exactly the shades of meaning for each of these words which may make one more appropriate that others? Finally, if a robot is going to discuss with you ...

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction: Interplanetary Hybrids

http://www.malcolmsscifi.blogspot.com/2014/08/interplanetary-hybrids.html

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction. Wednesday, 6 August 2014. What do you get if you cross a kangaroo with a sheep? Everybody knows that unrelated species cannot interbreed. So why do we so often read accounts of interplanetary hybrids? And why are they always between human beings and some vaguely humanoid alien? Why don't they cross earthly dogs with extraterrestrial canines for a change? Why should it possess only seven vertebrae in its neck, as almost all mammals do? Our skulls co...

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction: Four-Armed Bipeds

http://www.malcolmsscifi.blogspot.com/2014/08/four-armed-bipeds.html

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction. Sunday, 3 August 2014. Of illustrations. As you can see, some of them are reasonable, particularly those from the film, John Carter. But many of them depict the shoulders so close together they would get in one another's way. Others are really bad; they show a biped with two chests, one on top of the other, with what looks like space for a second set of lungs, and possibly a stomach. What about those multi-legged quadrupeds, described by Burroughs?

Malcolm's Musings: A Zoologist Looks at Science Fiction. Friday, 1 August 2014. Don't Forget the Human Factor. Yes, we know that twenty years is a long time in today's world, and cultural and political changes can be quite rapid. But not too rapid. Both the Terminator. Illustrates the reverse problem. The Empire, the Spacing Guild, and the Bene Genisset were well over 10,000 years old. No human institution could last that long - especially not an evil one (and none of them was exactly a hub of vi...Way a...

Malcolms Scandi Trip

Saturday, 23 June 2007. This year's big trip with the ECC was to Scandinavia starting in Helsinki and ending in Copenhagen but having got a bit more confidence with traveling around the world I decide to bolt on an additional week or so at the start taking in Russia and Estonia first. Anyway, enough here's the report. Let's go to Moscow. Day 1 - Getting to Moscow. Met Keith at 6 in the morning at Heathrow airport. Man: Some sort of cursing in Russian. Pursar: "Sir, I don't understand what you're saying".

Malcolm's Second Trip to China

Malcolm's Second Trip to China. Tuesday, 30 July 2013. So, how do I rate this trip? I managed to get 79 new rollercoasters to my count; which was pretty incredible, and a small number of those were ones that myself and Kat were the first to ride, which means more to me than the count these days. I visited 54 parks in the 3 weeks I was out there, again some of them we were the first enthusiast group to visit. I have lots of great memories of this trip, with the coaster highlight easily being the visit to ...

Malcolm's Second US Trip

Saturday, 28 June 2008. In the Summer of 2008 the European Coaster Club undertook a tour of Middle America running from Texas up to Minnesota. Wanting to see a bit more I added a week beforehand taking in Mexico. The week after which was initially heading into Canada but was changed to head west to Las Vegas. So I would be on the road for an entire month; the longest holiday I'd ever done. Flight to Mexico City. No Country for Old Men. Anyway we eventually got to the hotel, the Holiday Inn Express in dow...
